THREE more delegates 70 wash
ington on the deep water port
arrived in Brownsville this
morning. A large delegation met
them at the train.
One Of the positive statements
brought back by the members OF
this committee was 10 the effect
that Brownsville will get its port at
an early date Because the most
powerful mar on capitol hill is di-
rectly in favor Of. and working for,
this port" This man is mentioned
as none other than John Garner.
Every member Of the delegation re-
turned high in the praises Of Mr..
Garner for the work he has done
with the idea of giving the Valley a
deep water port.
It was said that the first step by
the Brownsyille-San Benito-Point
Isabel navigation interest will be TO
get the right-of-way. and the tips
OF the two islands.
This is a project in which all
should be ready 70 Immediately CO.
operate so as 10 be ready by July
].
VTARLINGEN is to get a hearing
within a few days on her pro-
position. 1t is to be hoped that
1t can be worked out so that both
1 cities will have Q water way. II that
'$S what they want. Anyway, to the
end that all a be happy all
around. and sectional jealousy will
become a minor detail in Valley life.
MEMBERS OF the delegations going
W 10 Washington made OF the
trip an occasion to discuss
many matters. Judge II. L. Yates
look advantage Of the opportunity
20 get in a word on views Of the
immigration question.
What will happen TO the johnson
and Box bill. one or both, is now
a matter OF conjecture. 1t is said
that a number OF California editors
who were strongly II favor Of limit
ing immigrants from Mexico. since
a trip to the Southern Republic.
have somewhat changed their views
and favor conditions much as they
have been in the past.
COPIES OF resolutions passed at a
recent Weslaco meeting of the
Valley Agricultural Workers
club on the immigration question
have been mailed to The Browns
vile Herald office.
The resolutions, too long to be
included here in full, are to the
effect that legislation to restrict
immigration would have a serious
effect in the Valley.
1t is further resolved that should
such legislation pass that special
provision should be made for the
Valley, pointing out that white la
Dor cannot take the place Of that Of
the Latin-American.
II was further asserted that If
the Mexican laborer should be al
lowed TO come into the Valley with
out his passport ne would not then
proceed further north and become
a competitor Of organized labor,
which 1t is said in the resolution
is the aim Of the restriction bills.
THE slow rain over the Valley to-
day may do much toward bring
ing TO active life again fruit and
vegetables, which have been dam
aged by the unprecedented freezes
Of q few weeks ago.
THE best the engineer Of this col
mi car make out Of Valley
Sheriff A. Y. Baker Of Edinburg
may be getting ready to make the
race for governor. and that John
Garner may again have a hot rae
for his seat in congress. If we are
any judge Of remarks heard con-
Z corning Representative Garner the
Brownsville navigation district will
give him many a vote by way Of
thanks for his port activities, If
for nothing else.
IIIITH delegations to the naval
wv conference in London taking
the public eye in the Foggy
city, 1t is said that ladies Of the
British Isles are artfully discovering
how many bachelors there are in
the American group.
In doing so. they have brought
out a technical legal point that
british women, who marry Ameri-
cans. are least for O while women
without a country. They become
aliens so far as the British gov
eminent Is concerned and must
take cut naturalization papers in
oruer to become citizens of the
United States.
