BROWNSVILLE Is IN line TO OBJ
tain the annual Texas skeet shoot
July 4. The Valley Is very much In
the limelight among the gunners
since Donna won the Texas and
National team titles at skeet. That,
coupled with a natural desire Of the

ton for the shoot to be held at
Brownsville. Officers Of the state
governing body have expressed
themselves as in favor of the shoot
being held here.
THE subject was preached at the
national shoot In New Orleans and
the Valleyites found the Texas gun
ners In hearty accord with the
plan. Skeet Is reaching more and
more men Owe the state. There are
clubs ct San Antonio. Houston

shoot should bring well over a hun

has agreed to fix the necessary
ranges and indications are that the

QLDLIGHTHOUSE
TO Be SAVED

The old tower at Cape Henry,
Va, the first lighthouse to be
built directly by the United States
Government, Is to be decided to
the Association for the Preserva-
tion Of Virginia Antiquities, under
authority Of the act Of Congress
Of June 10. 1890.
The association will maintain
the structure as a historical mon
urnent, and it will be open to
the public under reasonable re-
stricHons.
When the Federal Government
was established, the first approp-
riati0n made by Congress for
lighthouse purposes included the
erection Of q tower at Cape
Henry. The State Of Virginia
had previously assembled mate,
ftals ut the site, but conStrucL
tion had not begun.
The light was first shown IN
l702. During the civil war the
lantern was destroyed, but in
1868 the light was again in
operation.
The old tower stands on a
small sand dune back Srom the
coast and apart from the pres
erlt modern light station. 1t is
OF considerable historic interest.
The present octagonal iron
lighthouse at Cape Henry was
completed In 1881, so that the
Old tower was in service SO years,
Cape Henry is the principal light
house station for the entrance
