W. E. ANDERSON of San Benito
and Louis C. Hill of Los Angeles
have been appointed as con-
sulting engineers m the American
section of the international water
commission.
This commission has to do with
the division of the waters of the
Rio Grande and other boundary
streams. News of the appoint-
ment of Mr. Anderson is in direct
keeping with the wishes of Valley
interests.
Some time ago it was suggested
that the commission be done away
with or held inactive. Upon re-
ceipt of this the Brownsville Cham-
ber of Commerce became very active
in the effort to keep the committee
and keep it active. Mr. Anderson
has always been a member of it and
it was very much desired that he
be retained. R. B. Creeger was ap-
pointed chairman of the chamber
committee and he recommended Mr
Anderson as the man with a greater
working knowledge of the subject
than probably any other In the
country.
This committee has before it a
problem of greatest importance to
valley interests. To get such a rep-
resentative as Mr. Anderson leaves
the Valley feeling that its water
supply is in safe hands.

FOM up Harlingen way today
comes an outburst of feeling
over publication of accounts of
circulars issued in the other county
metropolis No one else has had any
great feeling over the many cir-
culars distributed except to print
them with reference to activities of
. the people. So far as this editor
4 can gather the least disturbed have
been the majority ol the men whom
the circulars have mentioned.
But at any rate they are appear-
ing so fast and thick that they are
really ceasing to be news anymore.
All of us are thankful for the ‘'ad-

The beautiful new church has

a wonderful record in church build-

PORTER LAND
DEVELOPMENT
IS PLANNED
Valley Man to Erect
Fine Home; Citrus
To Be Planted
An extensive development of the
northern portion of the San Carle*
estate including approximately 500
acres and situated between San Be-
nito and Brownsville about 2 miles
nort of Olmito was announced
Wednesday morning by R. A. Por-
ter. owner and developer.

will commence as soon as the pipe
arrives here. Mike Groom manager
of the gas company said.
In addition to the gas. electric
lines and water pines will be in-
stalled soon.
Fine Hane Planned
Mr. Porter added that he will
erect one of the most attractive
homes In the Valley on the 6lte
of the development the home to
cost $25000.
“I believe that the home will be
one of the prettiest In the entire
Valley." he said today.
Dean Porter his son. has recent-
ly completed a home there.
Earl C. Sams president of the
J. C. Penney company who recent-
ly visited the Valley and who pur-
chased 1900 acres of land 3 miles
from San Benito will plant about
200 acres of this land in citrus. Mr.
Porter added. This will make a to-
tal of 700 acres which will be placed
in citrus in the near future.
This announcement coming on
top of the one recently made by
the James-Dickinson company that
it will develop and open up the en-
ormous Barreda tract involving ap-
proximately 10.000 acres means that
the largest undeveloped area m the
Valley will now be cultivated.
Neon Airport Sign
Visible 75 Miles
The enormous Neon sign at the
Brownsville Municipal airport
which was recently placed in opera-
tion and considered the first of Its
kind and size In the world is vis-
j ible from the air from a great dist-
ance.
A party from Hartford. Conn ar-
riving here by night in their own
plane stated that they saw the
sign while they were 75 miles from
Brownsville according to Irwin K.
Williams divisional manager of the
S. A. T. lines in Brownsville.
"The visitors said that they could
see the sign even further than they
could see the revolving beacon
light." he added.
"Of course the sign was not leg-
ible for that distance but the glare
could be seen. Exactly howr far
away or how* high up the sign can
be read has not been definitely
determined this depending upon
the weather conditions and the al-
titude of the plane.” he concluded.

Candidates Barrage West Texas
• By The Associated Press'
Activity in the race fos the Dem-
ocratic nomination for governor
|ccntu%ed to center in west Texas
! today as James E. Ferguson and
Ross Sterling sought the support of
adherents of Clint C. Small who
was eliminated in the first prim-
ary. Ferguson's schedule sent him
| to Floydada. while Sterling arrang-
Ad to speak at Clarendon. Hedley
Pampa. Borger and Amarillo.
Last night Ferguson spoke at
Clarendon and Sterling at Memphis
Ferguson said there never had
; been a time when a west Texas ap-
! ;>eal had been denied by the Fergu-
1 sons and he called attention to the
! fact that 35 years ago he worked
! for the Fort Worth & Denver rail-
road in west Texas. He said part of
the credit for enactment of the
Srr.alll and law over Governor
Dan Moody's veto was due to him
and insisted that those who had
opposed the law had said they
would have made $25000000 had
the law been defeated.
Sterling told his audience that
Senator Small had made a gallant
race and “if he had been in the
run-off he would have been try-
ing to elect him and defeat “Fergu
sonusm". Small heard Sterling :peak
and after the address conferred
with the chairman of the highway
commission.
Ferguson Flay* Bonds
Ferguson devoted considerable
time to an explanation of his op-
post ion to the proposed issue of
state highway bonds advocated by
Sterling. He declared that the
bonds would “last 40 years but the
roads would be worn in 10 years. ’
Ferguson insisted that Sterling was
attempting to “drop” the road bond
issue and challenged him to state
‘not later than day after tomorrow'*
whether he now was for or against
the bond issue and. if against it
when did he turn against it.
Sterling reiterated his platform
policy that state highways should be
built by bonds based on a gasoline
tax without the highway tax on
property. He declared such a plan
would result in creation of an ac-
ceptable system of highways and
would relieve the counties of much
taxation. He said the present high-
way commission had built more
than 1.500 miles of concrete high-
ways since it had taken charge.

CITRUS PLANT
MACHINERY IS
NOW ARRIVING
Old Rice Mill Lease Is
Taken by Shary
For Home
Machinery to be Installed in a
plant of the Texas Citrus Fruit
Growers exchange here started ar-
riving in Brownsville today and the
plant will be ready for operation
by the opening of the citrus sea-
ron. October 1 according to a com-
munication received from John H.
Shary president.
The Exchange has leased the old
rice mill in the eastern part of the
city the previous plan having been
postponed until next year because
of the fact that the plant could not
be completed for this season.
Brogdex System t’sed
The Brogdex system similar to
that used in the other exchange
plants of that company in the Val-
ley. has been moved here from Cal-
ifornia. and will be installed giving
the plant standard equipment
throughout.
It will have a capacity of three
carloads a day. and is expected to
turn out at least 150 carloads dur-
ing the season.
This is the beginning of the Ex-
change s program to concentrate
citrus in this section in Brownsville
in preparation for the day when
large part of the Valley's citrus
fruit will be moved out of Browns-
ville by boat.
"We will be able to ship out of
Brownsville by water to the markets
of the Atlantic coast and to Euro-
pean markets which are going to
take more and more of the Valley's
citrus in the future." Mr. Shary
said. He said he looked upon
Brownsville as an Important con-
centration pol.’ii which importance
will be increased as the port devel-
ops and the citrus shipments In-
crease.
Manager Not Named
The manager of the local plant
has not been named.
Between 40 and 50 citrus growers
of the Brownsville territory have
signed as members of the Exchange
according to Mr. Shary.
W. B. Clint chairman of the
Brownsvu?e Chamber of Commerce
committee appointed to assist in
this work today said the committee
had conferred with Mr. Shary and
had decided that the time was too;
short to erect the proposed new
plant for the home but that active
steps to this end will be taken at
the close of the present season.

CAMERON HAS
SIX IN RUN OFF
In the coming Democratic run-
off election there will be only six
contests so far as Cameron county
offices are concerned. All of the
other officers were either returned
to their office unopposed or obtain-
ed a majority in the primary elec-
tion.
The race for the district attor-
neyship however is drawing con-
siderable attention. C. K Richards
a Brownsville barrister and D. S.
Purl of Corpus Christ! are the con-
testants in this race.
Within the county only two races
are drawing much attention. These ;
are the race between J. J. Bishop
and John P. Scanlan for the district
clerkship and the race between A.
V. Logan and J. F. Mayfield f\
commissioner of Precinct Three.
None of* the candidates seem par-
ticularly active at this time and
little is heard of the coming run-
off. Politicians are devoting most
of their time to the race for the (
governorship. |

STARS SHOOT
Many in Valley Witness
Frolic in Skies
Many tn the Valley last night
witnessed the "frolic of the skies
which has been going on in the
heavens for the past two or three
nights.
Several "front porch" parties were
lormed while a number decided upon
the beaches to stage their vigil.
Valley weather probably unbe-
lievable outside played an impor-
tant part in a number of cases
Some who decided to watch from
the beach after taking a swim de-
clared the night became so cool
that it became necessary to build
a fire.
Watchers at Brownsville homes
also report chilly waiting. But it
was said today that a number of
I sky lighters were seen as the me-
teors trailed their fiery war.
