Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1931-06-19
in OUR
VALLEY

1f1E JO4S OF an Gator! InurS-
days Herald off the press with the
final edition shortly after 3 o'clock.
The press rolls, the delivery boys
stag out on their routes, and at
$40 here comes a telegram from
Austin saying that Governor Sterl-
ing has relayed until July 10 the
execution OF Nicandro Munoz and
Victor Rodriguez.
Fact that Governor Sterling had
earlier in the day refused 70 grant
a stay was headlined IN both the
Valley and the final editionsl
1t maybe hard 70 believe. but We
who put out a newspaper suffer
more humiliation when we fail 70
give Dur readers the truthful. ac-
curate and up TO the minute news
Of the day than any OF those read
ers could possibly suffer inconveni-
ence or annoyance.
II will be a long time before We
will be able 10 forget how absolute
ly down in the n 0uth we felt the
morning we saw headlined a pro-
posal to abandon Fort Brown whtl
we had headlined the previous
afternoon the story OF a half mil
lion dollar improvement project
planned for the fort by the var de-
partment.
A department statement issued
over night absolutely changed the
situation. and Of course. ID was our
luck to have that statement issued
right after our improvement" story
broke.
FIFTEEN MANUFACTURING
concerns located in Brownsville
have their products included in the
display sponsored by the Browns
vile Chamber OF Commerce.
Not so many, you say? Mebbe not.
but there was a time when New
York City only had a half dozen.
Valley is, has been and always
will be-a farming section. Any
industries which We gain are pure
velvet"
Fact that industries are increas-
ing in Brownsville and in every
other Valley city Is a certain sure
sign that our agricultural popula-
ton is growing.
And as IL grows, there grows right
along with ID a market for manu-
featured goods sufficiently large 10
attract factories and the like.
CAMPAIGN ADVERTISING this
section as a summer resort didn't
look SO bad in the face OF reports
from orth Dakota telling OF tenn
pera0hres ranging from 100 10 l04.
Wkn II gets hot up there, IL IS
HOT. The breeze. II any. which
blows over the prairies Of the Mid
die West is not cooled by the
sparkling waters Of the Gulf Of
Mexico.
At the same time. II is reported
that the business houses OF one
town closed while the entire pop
ulation thronged the four church
es TO pray for rain.
Not gloating over the misfortunes
of others, Just calling our attention
to the manifold blessings We are
ali so prone to forget.
SOMEwAY OR OTHER we can't
help but be glad that Ruth Nichols
has been delayed on her trans
Atlantic solo hop attempt. II is bad
enough when the brave men OF the
land risk their lives trying 70 make
these flights which really prove
nothing except the courage already
proven.
But when a charming girl takes
the chance. II just seems so darn
unnecessary.
ADAMS TRACT DEVELOPMENT
will be speeded. now that the boun-
diaries OF Cameron County Water
Improvement District No 10 have
beer approved by formal vote.
Plans for the construction Of the
system which will irrigate the land
included in the Adams Gardens
project are being speeded. and
bonds will probably be voted for
construction OF the system within
the next two months.
Barreda Tract development goes
on. in spite Of the summer solstice.
Monte Grande Is coming 70 the
front.
People are flocking 70 the Valley.
What are we going - do about up
Are We keeping up with our
selves7
