TO Brownsville.
Today r. B. Creager very care
fully words an announcement, as
a man III his position should be
careful TO word one. But take Il
from the engineer Of this column.
Mr.. Creager IS not going TO wade
out tfs way with government sec
rets. unless he pretty well knows
that the development has reached
the detail stage.

business IN more WAYS than one.

so hard on friend wife.

TO run into debt.
TROM All we can hear, what the
Detroit Better Business Bureau
IS wishing right IS that c..
G. Richardson. secretary OF the
Brownsville Chamber OF Commerce,
had stayed m Chicago.
The Brownsville secretary innaug-
urated a battle with the Detroit
bureau over statements made about
Valley land. The Detroit manager
assumed q powerful naughty atti-
tude toward what he supposed was
a little Texas village. Brownsville
fired back through congress. The
Detroit mar closed the book. Now
Brownsville has many Of the other
Better Business bureaus laying down
barrages 10 bring the Detroit outfit

lence. May have the fun vet Of
hearing the Detroit Bureau say
I'VE were mistaken" which is a
simple truth that would end simple
action-on its part.

THIEF OF the State Sanitary Engi-
neers v. NJ. Ehlers declares that
the capers the Rio Grande Is
cutting at Brownsville in choosing
a new channel IS a matter Of intense
interest 70 engineers all over the
country.
The Rio Crande IS one az the
greatest silt carrying streams. for
its size. IN the world. Il is said to
almost equal that OF the yellow
river in China. The problem now
confronting the engineers with re-
ference to a water supply for
Brownsville is not what the river
is now doing but what il may do
in the future. II has many tl--
al which 1t may take any whim.
But the city will not suffer.
