THE MUNICIPALITY that is
Brownsville has just concluded a
contract in connection with its air-
port.
It has decided—voting three to
two and therefore ununanimously
—to permit the Pan-American Air-
ways. or its subsidiary the Mexi-
can Aviation company to land and
take off at the field for a period
of one year.
The contract affects only the
Mexican company. The company
delivering the American mails to
i the north and south to the north
bank of the Rio Grande does not
appear in the situation. Nor does
the Matamoros-Monterrey-Mazatlan
company.
The year it 4s considered will
give ample time for the working out
of an agreement. Or for no agree-
ment. o
* • •
The main trouble it is consid-
ered. is that there are no pre-
cedents.
Airports are a new thing. Basis
for cost of operation for income
etc. is not established.
It is not to be wondered at. per-
haps. that the city has been floun-
dering on this questiou.
In the meantime Brownsville is
gaining fine experinece in the mat-
ter of airport operations.
And is in position to caution sis-
ter cities throughout the state hav-
ing airport ambitions.
Cities like Corsicana Lubbock
San Angelo and others.
Especially those cities whose
bonding capacities are more or less
limited.
The Brownsville airport thus far
represents an investment of from
$200000 to $250000.
And they say the end is not yet.
• • •
The other day the federal de-
partment that dispenses weather
Information announced that a wea-
ther bureau would be established at
the i ®ort.
This weather bureau will be sup-
plementary to the forecast office in
the city proper.
Its purpose will be mainly to
gather information as to air cur-
rents. Especially sought is “dope”
S on the “ceiling.”
This weather office will want
\ quarters in the administration
building. These quarters will of
course have to be provided. So
something like $5000 will have to
be devoted to extending the admin-
istration building.
* m *
NEW if comparatively small ex-
penditures are being demanded al-
most constantly.
They mean that the investment
I in the airport is growing con-
stantly.
And it is. of course a quite
worthwhile investment. But the
city exchequer would be pleased If
it knew where it will all end.
Some return is. of course being
experiencd. There is income from
storage space income from the sale
1 of gasoline and oils and perhaps
from other sources.
; As stated there are no preced-
ents. But the Brownsville airport
which is really a pioneer in many
respects is rapidly forming pre-
cedents.
It experience should be valuable
to cities up the state that are con-
I sidering airport expenditures. When
we say airprots we mean just that
—not ordinary or emergency land-
ing fields.
Cities like San Antonio. Houston
Dallas. Fort Worth — fifteen to
twenty times Brownsville’s size—
are often at sea about their air-
ports. So why shouldn't Browns-
ville and cities of similar size
faced with providing facilities
equaling those in the big cities find
the problems difficult?
THE STATE HIGHWAY COM-
MISSION has designated a high-
way out of Corpus Christi that may.
some time in the future affect
tourist travel into and out of the
Valley.
This highway would run from
Corpus Christi southwest to the
Kleberg county line near Chap-
mna's ranch.
Later it will run through Kle-
berg county to the Kenedy county
line touching at or near Sarita.
and passing to the east of Kings-
ville.
Eventually this road would follow
the railroad from Sarita south to
Willacy county line to a connection
with the Willacy county north and
south road thus affording a new
route south to Cameron county
points.
Also designated was a highway
from Mathis east to Corpus Christi.
One day it will be possible for
a tourist to enter the Valley by one
route and return north by an-
other. *
No tourist enjoys back-tracking
trips over the same roaas.

Hidalgo county roads are being
constructed most rapidly under the

Daughter Has Been
Unruly Since Death
Of Mother Dad Says
After He Is Shot
PONCA CITY. Okla. April 26.—
(&>—'Trilby Rogers 14 daughter of
E. M. Rogers was held in the coun-
ty jail at Newkirk today in connec-
tion with the shooting of her fath-
er at their farm home near here
last night.
Rogers is in a hospital here his
right arm having been amputated
at. the elbow as a result of the
wound. He also is suffering from
shot wounds in his chest. He will
recover physicians said.
Rogers said his daughter shot
him whijf he lay asleep. A 4-year-
old son was sleeping on his left
arm while his right arm lay across
his chest. This saved his body
from taking the entire load from
the 12 gauge shotgun he said.
The girl’s mother died last De-
cember and Rogers said she had
been unruly since. He declared the
girl had attempted to poison him
recently. After the shooting the
girl ran to the home of a neighbor
who called officers.
FARM RELIEF
UP TO SENATE
House Passes Measure 367
To 34; Debenture Plan
Defeat Foreseen
WASHINGTON. April 26.—UP—
The problem of general farm relief
was exclusively up to the senate
today the house having completed
the major phase of its work on the
subject yesterday by passing its bill
and ordering it forwarded to the
other chamber.
The vote in the house—officially
recorded at 367 to 34—was regarded
as a clear indication that Presi-
dent Hoover’s opposition to the ex-
port debenture plan receiving vig-
orous support in the senate will be
heeded in the final action of con-
gress on the subject.
Senate leaders plan to allot only
two or three more days to the gen-
eral discussion of the bill before
that chamber. They‘expect to be
able to bring the debenture provi-
sion voted into their bill by the
agriculture committee to a vote by
Tuesday night and to obtain a vote
quickly on the entire measure.
Conceding the vote on the deben-
ture provision will be close senate
leaders are convinced it will be de-
feated. Their latest estimate is
that seven or eight democrats will
vote against the plan and that ten
to 14 republicans will vote for it.
The bill sent to the senate by
the house is regarded by adminis-
tration leaders in both chambers as
having the approval of President
Hoover. Like the senate bill its
principal clauses provide for estab-
lishmnet of a federal farm board
with a $500000000 revolving fund
at its disposal to be employed
largely through cooperative agen-
cies and commodity stabilization
corporations in an effort to enable
the farmer to help himself toward
prosperity and economic equality
| with workers in other industries.

NO NEW TRIAL
SOUGHT IN ROW
I
Defense In Harlingen Park
Case Wins On Instruct-
ed Verdict
No application for c. new trial had
been filed Friday by the plaintiffs
in the Harlingen park site row fol-
lowing an instructed verdict against
them at noon in the civil district
court he:;.
The instructed verdict in favor of
the defendants the Harlingen city
commission and several others cul-
minated a four day trial that devel-
oped little sensational matter. Law-
yers stated Friday that the plaintiffs
had two days in which to seek a new
trial.
The plantiffs J. D. Hill and oth-
ers. alleged that too high a price
had been paid by the Harlingen city
commission for the Arroyo Colorado
park site. This they held consti-
tuted legal fraud on the Harlingen
tax payers. The cl tv commission
has issued warrants for $80000 for
the pure)- ze of the parksite and an-
other parcel of land to be used for
a park airport and other municipal
enterprises.
Much of the testimony in the
case revolved about the valuation of
the land purchased and another
park site on the other side of Harl-
ingen. Many comparisons were
made between the two sites as to
c’ stability vaule and availability.
There were two groups each of
which favored the purchase of one
of the ’tes and was opposed to the
other. t
Numerous prominent Harlmgen
citizens wer; placed on the stand
during the trial including Sam
Botts mayor and members of the
citv commission.
Each of the:; testified that they
thounght the price paid was a fair
one and declared that they acted
in good faith in the purchase of the
lands.

perty Loss Large
CHEYENNE. Wyo. April 26.—UP)
—With two deaths reported and
property damage in the vicinity of
Cheyenne estimated at more than
$100000 it was believed here today
the toll of the Wyoming blizzard
would mount when communication
over the storm area is reestablished.
Many motorists were stranded
and no news of them has been re-
ceived here since Wednesday. High-
way crews were making every effort
to reach them.
Stockmen feared a heavy loss of
sheep but hoped the short duration
of the storm minimized the destruc-
tion of their flocks.
A single telegraph wire from
Cheyenne to Denver repaired late
last night ended Cheyenne’s iso-
lation after wires in every direction
had been down for more than 48
hours.
The body of George Ross sheep-
herder. was found under a snow
drift. J. H. Reed of Glendo Wyo.
died on a highway near Chugwater
Wyo. apparently from exposure.

ber of letters lost in the wing of
the first mail plane out of Browns-
ville flown to Mexico City by Col-

addressed is being forwarded to
their original destinations it was
said.

to the whereabouts of their letters
shortly after the mail was lost. The
three bags were located deep in one
of the wings of the plane. They
had jostled into a deep crevice and
had been overlooked. __

criminal jurisprudence today re-
sulted in consideration of a bill by

Norris Joins in Belief That
Treasurer Illegally
Holds Office
WASHINGTON. April 26.—
A division of opinion has developed
in the senate judiciary committee
on the right of Secretary Mellon to
hold office in the face of an old
statute forbidding the secretary of
the treasury to be interested in
trade or commerce and a special
session of the committee has been
called for tomorrow for a vote on
the question.
Chairman Norris of the committee
has joined those contending that
Mr. Mellon is illegally holding of-
fice. He is ready to submit a re-
port to this effect to the committee
tomorrow and there is every indica-
tion the question will ultimately be
placed before the senate for a final
decision.
The resolution of Senator Mc-
Kellar. democrat. Tennessee adopt-
ed by the senate questioned whether
the secretary could be continued in
office by President Hoover without
renomination and whether he was
not serving in violation of the law.
The committee has generally agreed
that renomination was not neces-
sary. _

Few Scattering Pueblos Represent
Root Diggers’ Progress Prof. Says
ABILENE Texas. April 28 —
(JP)—Dr. W. C. Holden head of
the history department %lcMur-
ry college here in an address
sketched the progress of a peo-
ple which he said began as root
diggers perhaps a thousand years
before Christ and now is repre-
sented by a few scattering pueb-
los in New Mexico and Arizona
inhabited by Indians.
Speaking before the Abilene
Kiwanis club Dr. Holden detail-
ed recent excavations conducted
by himself and McMurry col-
lege students in the Canadian
valley above Plemons Texas
where he said was found one an-
cient house of 15 rooms no two
i alike in that they followed ya
rious geometrical designs—round
oblong rectagular and square.
“We make no claim to having
discovered these ruins.” he said.
“They have been known to exist
for the last 40 years but very lit-
tle excavation has been done. It
is a rich mine of prehistoric lore
waiting for the searchers’ pick
and shovel. There are at least
eight of these ancient villages
extending along 150 miles of the
Canadian river and its tributa-
ries. The oil business has ruined
many promising sites.
“Investigations have led me to
believe this particular culture
extended over a much wider area
than has been supposed. We are
- now making investigation oi ruins
t
40
within 50 miles of Abilene which
show every superficial sign of
belonging to the pueblo or pre-
pueblo eras.
“One of the ruins we have ex-
cavated developed a room 19 by
24 feet. When debris of centu-
ries had been removed we found
metates and grinders a pot of
very old type and other relics
just as if destruction had over-
taken the inhabitants in the
midst of their household chores.
Bits of petrified bone and char-
coal in the process of petrifica-
tion. indicating very great age.
were found. We discovered in-
numerable artifacts but not a
single arrowhead; there were
many spearheads awls and stone
spades.” ^
