Rumors today on the streets OF
Brownsville were to the effect that
Los FresnoS interests had filed
petitions seeking to restrain MEM
bers OF the navigation commission
from extending the funds voted
.or the port, but no recorded step
Of such action could be found.
Voters in Los FTesnos have been
opposed TO the bond issue for the
rqrt that section representing the
on.y section Of the district holding
su-h an attitude, but those in charge
Of the port affairs do not believe
that the voters there can be stirred
to any such action. which they be-
lieve would be only a futile step.
II the house should sign the
amendment to the rivers and har-
b.rs bill today, II has been said
that II will Immediately 20 to the

IN OUR
VALLEY
BY c. VI. HALL

As we write these lines today, be-
IA fore the house takes up the
scheduled vote on the rivers
and harbors bill, one angle Of the
Valleys latest and probably greatest
single acquisition occurs to the en-
gineer Of this column.
We. in the Valley, know all about
our proposed port. But carried as
one of many items ln an omnibus
bill. the remainder OF the world does
not know so much about II.
The Valley should begin to ad-
vertise the port. The chambers Of
commerce and like bodies can select
their own ways Of letting the nation
know about 10. but Valley individ-
uals can also do much to aid.
Why not ask every M In the
Valley to write their distant friends
about II. There arc about 1896
persons in the Valley. Say that
many Of these should write three
Of four letters about II. If this
could BE- made to mount up 70
100000 letters. 1t would be an eco
nomical and effective way TO adver-
tise the big project
HUMPING right into our political
art gallery. we have with us
today Clint S. Small. Mr.. Small
is from out west.
