PRIVATE kilograms received here
today from the Brownsville del
egation at Washington are 10
the effect that Everything Is all
right. Committee merely awaiting
filing OF engineers report
This looks as though the Browns
ville-Port Isabel. San Benito plan Is
working quietly and slowly toward
successful consumation. This is the
news that will be here awaited as
one Of the greatest developments
opened for the Valley in many years.
Up Harrington way renewed efforts
are being put forth for that city to
have the waterway 10 the middle OF
the Valley. Strenuous efforts are be-
ing made to this effect. Which IS
Seausing Brownsville 10 renew her
d ctivities. IL is too bad all could not
'shave centered on one proposition.
nROBABLY never before in the
history Of the Valley have there
been so many visitors in IL. Ho-
tells, rooming houses are reported
filled and houses to rent T hard
TO be had.
One travelling man who came 70
Brownsville yesterday said that he
started hunting for a room at Edin-
burg. Thursday. and at 4 o'clock IN
Brownsville, Thursday afternoon.
.till had not been able TO get a no.
vel room.
This means that the Lower Rio
Grande Valley is in the eye Of the
public as she has never been before.
What would have happened III the
way of visitors had not the stock
market cut such capers late last
fall one can never tell.
There is one peculiar p~hsycology
about people. The moment it gets
abroad that the Valley is chock full
OF people, looking IL over, thousands
of others will come to see what the
others are looking for. We might
as well get ready 70 receive them.
CPEAKING Of queer turns and en-
~ cores, while Wisconsin is so busy
v legislating against Valley land
Healers, and Valley business men are
81 busy cutting off their trade with
wisconsin, store dealers IN Wiscon-
sin aRye started a special adver-
tisine eampaign Of Valley fruit.
tn information is contained in
n letter TO Fred w. Fisher OF Browns
vile fr I'M his mother Mrs. G.. l..
Fisher Of Milwaukee. Mrs. Fisher
saws that the stores are letting Nil
waukee people know they have VAL
ley grapefruit. and 1t is said that
il is enjoying a sale never before
known.
Wisconsin so far has suffered IN
business from the Valley TO the tune
OF about two millions OF dollars on
machinery alone. 1t seems that the
people there are not all IN accord
with the legal action now under
fire. The pendulum will probably
soon swing in Wisconsin and TeXa
and the Lower Rio Grande Valley
will be known there as never before
Moral: Put Texas and the Lower
Rio Grande Valley on all the grape
fruit shipped in there.
