vile and the Valley by way Of Mata.
: moros.
: This Is found in the decision II
start work on the highway from
Mazatlan to Matamoros. This mean.
a direct contact with Monterrey
which is the key city for entrance
...to Mexico from the north.
With a hard surfaced highway Il
Monterrey, and in turn to the cap
ital and other cities Of the interior
TO furnish truck transportation, anc
our fast air service for passenger:
and mail, and a water outlet here
for Mexican goods. all the engineer
OF this column car say is watch the
smoke of the Valley during the mex
five years as she speeds progress.
EHONDAY morning and the acct
IVt dent list. First thing We saw or
picking up the morning paper;
today was an account Of the death
o! five in a highway accident.
Following the Sunday holidays
death Is invariably served with oul
breakfast grapefruit every Monday
morning. And mostly because toe
many hesdlessly risk their lives
possessed of the demon speed.
Over OH the roadway leading into
Matamoros Saturday night an in.
cident occurred where m car driv-
ing at about thirty miles an hour
was not going fast enough for 9
young man. who seemed TO think
himself somebody come to pass. 81
he rammed that a from behind
The man, who was bumped into
came in and wanted his name KEEP
out Of the paper because he Later
accused the speed demon Of reck'
less driving. and when the young.
ster came TO his car abusing him
he knocked him down. What We
think is that his picture ought x
be carried rs using an effective
method Of stopping accidents.
The greatest trouble is that aftel
some fool driver has hit a careful.
driver, 1t is too bad that the care
ful driver is usually so MANNED tina
he cannot deal him punishment
then and there.
ONCE announcement that Browns
n vile is to have a deep watel
port, mail of various kinds from
many points. has come to our desk
But probably We got the priz.
package today. 1t was a notice o
n sale Of submarines v c thirteen
years old. Now if there be any II
brownsville, or the Valley. who wan.
y nice quick sinking submarine W.
have a list of the models. The prices
are not carried however. sc you vii
have 10 do your own bargaining.
Some Of them are nice little trick.
that will make fourteen knots a.
hour and most of them carry three.
inch guns. Later on we might ge
a few for the children 70 play with
but right now we are thinking o
ships TO haul grapefruit and orange.
Or what have you.
TT looks like six more weeks Of win
ter weather over the Unitet
States. The ground hog KEEP
company with his shadow yesterday
and the weather must act accord,
ingly.
GETTING back to the idea dis
In cussed before in this column
concerning a museum for Thu
city, the idea seems to be takinI
hold OF the interest OF many more
than We at first expected.
Several have stopped TO discus:
il with us. II seems that such ar
unusual museum can be obtained
that an unusual setting for it shoulC
be worked out.
The more the better. II such car
be had let do IL up IN true VALLEY
ana Brownsville style. No section II
the country. you know. ranks with
the Valley in public buildings. Blu
this time it should not be a matte,
for further taxation Of the people
The entire project should be TIL
gift. or gifts. from individuals.
II may work out beautifully.
