Early Railroad
History Is Told
By Robert n

How the Mexican revolution of
1910 prevented Brownsville from
becoming the most important port
OF entry along the entire Mexican
6order was related before the
Brownsville Rotary club Wednes-
day by Colonel Sam Robertson who,
as an engineer. is crI(sed with
having seen and personally super
vised as much or more Of the fun
damental construction In the VAL
ley than any other man.
Colonel Robertson described the
plans OF the late Benjamin Yoakum
Tor construction Of a railroad down
the Gulf coast to Tampico and Vera
Cruz and across to Mexico City.
The present international railroad
bridge at Brownsville was construct
ed as q part Of this plan. Incl
dentally, he said, II it had not been
for the inSistence Of President Por-
firio Diaz, this bridge would have
crossed the river at OF near Sam
fordyce. Diaz would not permit
the crossing at that point, but chose
Matamoros. The entire scheme was
blown UP" by the revolution,
Robertson said. Colonel Robertson
described early engineering in this
section Of Texas, dating back to
the closing years Of the eighteenth
century when a Spanish engineer
and adventurer named Hernandez
surveyed what Is known as the
Conception de Carricitos grant.
He paid high tribute to the en-
cheering ability Of the engineers
Of Taylor'S army. TO their resource
fulness in contriving to move sup
plies. and to the native engineer
ing ability Of the late Captain
Kennedy OF the famous firm OF King
g. Kennedy.
The st. Louis, Brownsville g.
Mexican railroad now the Mis-
souri, Pacific) was built on the basis
OF the sugar cane industry, he said.
I'VE expected $40 pounds Of raw
sugar to the ton, but when IL came
to grinding. we got only eight or
nine" and that industry blew up"
He described how other fields Of
agriculture were tried In the early
days Of the Valley picture, with
varying success.
A high point Of the meeting was
the presentation to former Presi-
dent E. E. Mockbee Of the past
presidents Rotary pin worn by the
late DR.. Harry K. Loew. by George
White. Mr.. White. in a touching
address, stated that the pin had
come into his hands following the
death Of a true Rotarian and a
marvellous surgeon" DR.. Loew.
whose death occurred three years
ago.

new HIGHWAY
PLAN STUDIED
Link From Rio Grande City
To San Antonio Sought
BY Counties
fspecial to me Hernldl

RIO GRANDE CITY. Aug. L.
County officials and citizens of five
southwest Texas counties are again
making efforts to secure deSignat.cn
and paving Of another state highway
through South Texas to connect San
Antonio with TexaS-Mexican border
cities.
Representatives from Starr, Jim
Hogg, Duval, McMullen and Atascosa
counties have held recent meetings
in San Antonio and T1lden, county
seat OF McMullen county. TO fur
ther their plan for a paved state
highway from Ric Grande City to
San Antonio via Hebbronville, coun-
ty seat OF Jim Hogg county; Tilden.
county seat OF McMullen county; and
Jourdanton. county seat of AtaScosa
county. A paved highway nov con-
meets Jourdanton with San Antonio
and hence shortens the proposed
project and reduces its cost accord
ingly.
A meeting between representatives
OF the interested counties and state
highway department officials several
months ago actually set the project
IN motion when the department
agreed TO spend $500 for making a
survey OF the proposed highway
route through Starr and Jim Hogg
counties II those counties would con-
tribute $1,000 for the same purpose.
In the meantime, the upper counties
alcng the proposed route financed an
aerial survey through Duval, Nc
Mullen and Atascosa counties which
has been completed. 1t Is believed
that escrow agreements whereby the
$500 contributions from Starr and
Jim Hogg counties are being held in
banks in the counties can be chang
ed TO permit use Of the money for
whatever type Of survey may be
necessary or desirable.
Examination OF q Texas map In
dicates that Rio Grande City Is al
most directly south OF San Antonio.
proponents Of the new highway
point out. and that the highway
eventually will connect with new
Mexican highways along the border
which will facilitate travel owe the
new project. IL is also pointed out
that the new road would give a new
direct connection for three county
seat towns in the counties along the
highway, excepting Jourdanton
With its present paved road to San
Antonio and San Diego, county seat
OF Duval county. which Is east OF the
proposed route through that coun-
ty.
The project was given a temporary
designation some time ago as a
state highway and considerable
traffic new moves vel the southern
end OF the route, IL was stated here.
