BEARCREEK MINES
INCREASE OUTPUT
Increase In Coal Orders
Results in Placing
Double Shift

Increasing orders for coal re-
suited Friday in the placing of an
additional shift of miners to work
at the Montana Coal and Iron
company Bearcreek properties.
The new shift came as the re-
suit of a favorable majority vote
cast by employees at a meeting
of the Bearcreek local of the
United Mine Workers of America
Thursday evening, it was said.
Miners are now allowed only
five days of work a week under
the NRA coal industries code,
which along with the increase of
coal orders, made it necessary for
the placing of more miners to
work.
j. M. Freeman, manager of the
Smith mine at Bearcreek, in a
letter read at the meeting, init
mated hat miners may be as
sured of steady work for the next
five months, it was reported.

blocked punts, the Cody (Wyo.)
high school team, nevertheless
severely outplayed the locals on
running plays and in yardage
gained.
The game was opened on the
Cody field with Salo kicking for
the locals. Almost Immediately
the Cody gridders started a long
march through the local lines
which ended in the first touch
down. Cody missed the CONVEX

yard line, but was held for downs
by the game-fighting locals. Car

danger, Cody breaking through
the locals tackles to block the
kick and score the second touch
down of the afternoon. Cody
failed to convert.
Cody again advanced the ball on
scrimmage plays in the second
quarter, this time to the locals l.
yard line, and was again held for
downs by the hard-fighting Car
bonites. Again attempting to kick
out of danger, Red Lodge had the
punt blocked, the ball rolling over
the goal to be recovered for a
Cody safety of 2 points. The ball
was put in play again on the 20
yard marker and the locals lost
7 yards on a scrimmage play. They
again had an attempted punt
blocked, the pigskin rolling over
the goal to be recovered for a
Cody touchdown.
Opening the second half, Salo
kicked for Red Lodge and the
Wyoming ~gridders gained but one
first down during the third ses-
sion. The locals made their only
scoring threat of the afternoon

Deep Water Begins Its 16-Mile Trip to Brownsville
GARNER DUE
MUCH CREDIT
FOR HARBOR

ITHOUT reservation people
M OF the Lower Rio Grande
|" Valley will give credit. when
ever they are asked TO whom il is
due. to John N. Garner. now vice
president Of the United States, for
the success OF the deep water move
in the Valley.
Mr.. Garner. in the one public
speech he ever made in the Lower
Rio Grande Valley-at a Fourth Of
July Celebration in San BenitoN
once said. you get the approval of
the u. S. Army engineers, / will get
the money"
In that he never failed.
He even went further. He helped
the Valley before the army en-
gineers.
After he became vice president OF
the United States he still remem-
bered the district which had for 30
years sent him TO congress. And
once more he came to the aid OF
this district.
The officials Of the Brownsville
Navigation district. the attorneys OF
the district, and all others who have
worked on the Brownsville project
will freely state that had II not
been for Mr.. Garner the Brazos-
Santiago port project as It stands
today would probably never have
existed.
Mr.. Garner aided the Valley IN
securing the first appropriation Tor
work on the port. back IN 1920. He
aided this section again IN 1926
when the ~ietties were built.
And when the more ambitious
moves for deep water we're launch
cd. he once more aided the Valley
people.
He helped the Valley people to
secure engineering approval
He helped them TO secure APP
prOval Of the Rivers and Haroors
committee OF congress.
He helped get the Bra0os de
Santiago port project bill through
congress.
When financing OF the IettieS
through a federal loan was contem-
plated. his f~riendlinesS 10 the VAL
ley VAS once more felt.
And again he answered the plea
Of the people OF his district when
he helped the Brownsville district
to get its federal loan.
II truly may be said that Mr.. Gar
ner. as congressman. and as vice
president Of the nation. has a r
ried out TO the letter and even be-
yond his statement TO the people Of
his district-that he would sec that
any project securing approval OF the
engineers secured financing.

SandBar That Has
Blocked Pass For
Centuries is Gone

A COMBINATION OF tide, jetty,
u and dredge has at last con-
{ n quered a sand bar which for
a hundred years has limited the
possibilities Of the Brazos, Santiago
deep water transportation project.
For the famed bar Is now in reali-
ty no longer a bar.
Announcement has just been made
that the controlling depth III
Brazos- Santiago pass Is now 25 feet
and that most Of the pass ranges IN
depth from % 10 more than 80 feet.
Bumps Are Removed
Only a few bumps or high spots
are 25 feet, and the U. s. Hopper
Dredge AbSecon is steadily cutting
these out.
II will continue its work at least
until December 81. and probably
longer. until an average depth OF
% feet is secured in the pass. TO
guarantee the working depth OF Is
feet at all times.
The manner IN which Brazos-San-
tiago pass has secured as the jetty
construction advanced has proved
Of great satisfaction to federal en-
gineers. and to Valley people inter-
ested IN deep water transportation.
Before the work was started a
model OF the pass. including jetties
in proportion to the new ones. was
built and experiments conducted.
These tests showed that in theory
the channel should maintain itself,
once the jetties were built out TO a
depth Of IS feet Of water in the
Gulf.
The theory has more than proved
itself.
Old JettieS Too Short
When the old jetties were built
the AbSecon came here and dredged
the pass to a depth OF about Is
feet, which was the depth of the
port project at that time.
The channel then, however, did
not maintain itself, largely due TO
the ShortneSS OF the %jetties. When
the new jetty work was started 1t

was found that the bar in the pass
limited passage TO boats Of around
nine foot draft.
The big jetties we're then started,
and as they advanced on out the
channel began TO scour. Great
quantities OF water went up into
the Laguna Madre with each rise
in the tide, and then the water
rushed out through the narrow
channel as the tide receeded. the
jetties carrying the rapid flow on
out to a point in the Gulf where
it was practically impossible to
build up a bar.
Bar In Reality Gone
BY the time the AbSecon arrived
to start dredging the pass the scour-
ing had cut the depth TO an average
Of 10 feet or more. with the bar al
about is feet.
The AbSecon and the tide have
both worked since then, and as a re-
suit the cutting has been rapid.
Bumps are found at points in the
pass, where hard deposits resist the
securing action. and they are rapid
~ removed by the dredge. while the
securing Is continued generally by
tide action where the bottom Il soft.
The result is that boat captains
who for seventy-five years or more
have talked Of bringing her over
the bar" will have to speak in the
future OF bringing her through the
pass for the bar is in reality gone
in the sense that II formerly existed.
