IN OUR 1
j VALLEY]
THE VALLEY WAS GLAD TO
hear Saturday about the first
home loan being completed in Hi- j
dalgo county.
Officials promise more speed on
the 600 more applications in Hi-
dalgo county and on Cameron
county applications.
We want to congratulate Lee F
Freeman of Mercedes—
Who was first to get his home
loan application through.

HIDALGO COUNTY IS MAK-
ing progress in other ways.
Eleven projects in the county ap-
proved for civil works labor.
Much highway irrigation and
drainage work in the list.
The decision of the state CWA
official* to permit work on irri-
gation projects is of vast import-
able to the Valley now—
should help to tide the dis-
trict* through until next year.

VISITORS FROM MANY PARTS
of Texas saw that fine exhibit—
Which Hidalgo county had on
display Friday and Saturday.
Valley people also were surpris-
ed to see the great mass of indus-
trial products manufactured in the
section.
The Lower Rio Grande Valley has
everything needed to become a
great industrial section — except
some great natural force to de-
velop power for it—
And it really has that—a little i
way up the Rio Grande.
Why can not our section develop
Industrially when that dam is put
in up> above Roma—
It is something to think about
right now.

WE ARE TOLD THAT THE
city of Brownsville in carrying out
Its improvement program on re-
sacas and on the municipal golf
club grounds.
Will call in local men who are
expert at such matters as fishing— i
Such as Roy Linn manager of
the fish hatchery and Hurt Eat-
aell—
And will follow their suggestions
in making this resaca just one
long unbroken fisherman's para-
dise"
Something like the Offhito resaca
—only more so
Which will undoubtedly be a fine
thing for Brownsville.

the people In this world !ovc to pull
a fish out of the water—
E\en if it is only a perch.
And with several miles of fine
resaca full of perch bass croppie.
etc.
Brownsville will have just one
more drawing card to bring people
here
It will be hard to convince north-
ern people that they can go out
on the resaca bank in December.
January or February sit in the
sunshine and snag bass.
But once they are convinced we
think .hey will come

APPROXIMATELY $130000 Dis-
tributed to 7.000 people In the Val-
ley Saturday—
From the county relief boards.
Bound to help stimulate business
We note with interest that a
town of 3.500 people up in the
Middle West had 1300 out of em-
ployment. half the business con-
cerns closed—
Then the relief program started j
gravel pits got going to furnish
material for the road work brick
plants were going other factories
farted operating and in a little
aile evenbody had work.
A good crop of winter vegetables
» would do the trick in the Valley.
But It look* as though the farm-
er is going to need help in his la-
bor prob’em.

MUCH INTEREST BEING
shown in the chess tournament
here as it nears a close
We keep posted on the inside
dope by John Hunter one of those
who is hot after the title.
John tells us of one of his latest
misfortunes in which he was so
anxious to keep his opponents king
out of 4 certain spot thst he put
his own there—
And It was a stalemate after all.
In spite of John’s odd pawn
Also he challenges us to play
which we refuse.
If we played we might lose
Brownsville chessmen are pre-
paring to challenge a hand-picked
team from up the Valley.

spurred on by the belief that either
Barow or the woman possibly both
were wounded in the exchange of
fire near Grand Prairie. The bullet-

their getaway was blood-stained.

(Special to The Herald)
HARLINGEN. Nov. 25—A par-
tial victory In the notorious Robs-
town freight rate differential case
has been won with a saving to the
Valley counties of almost half a mil-
lion dollars annually it was an-
nounced by L. F. Sewell manager of
the South Texas Shippers' Assn.
Saturday.
“Of course we are glad to obtain
this partial victory but the associa-
tion will keep up its fight for com-
plete elimination of the obnoxious
rate" said Sewell
Differential Quarter Gone
He described the concession as
amounting to about a 25 per cent
reduction in the differential which
has been plaguing the Valley for
many years. The differential con-
sists of a charge over and above
the regular freight rate assessed in
tonnage in certain territories where
there is not much traffic. It was
first imposed when the railroads
were built into the Valley and this
section is now a prolific source of
tonnage and should no longer pay
a premium for railroad service
Sewell said
The i eduction will be effective
Jan. 20 according to the Interstate
Commerce Commission bulletin re-
ceived here. /
The teductlon has been ordered
on all tonnage on which the diffe-
rential was in effect but the car-
riers immediately asked the I. C. C.
to vacate the order as to vegetables
“This was done m spite of the fact
that the origin carriers had indi-
cated that they favored removal of
the differential” Sewell said. The
I. C. C refused to vacate the order

Valley Gets Last Chance To
Get Tomato Loading
Penalty Removed
(Special to The Herald*
HARLINGEN. Nov. 25 UP)—'The \
Valley’s best opportunity for obtain- j
mg removal of the railroads’ cross-
wise tomato loading order will be
offered Jan. 5 when a hearing will
be held at the Reese-WU-Mond
hotel by Examiner Mattingly ac-
cording to notice received by the i
South Texas Shippers’ association.
After a hearing in Harlingen in
May. 1931 the case was decided j
against the Valley shippers who were '
seeking a continuance of the priv-
ilege of loading tomato lugs lengtn-
wise in cars. The shippers’ associa-
tion obtained a rehearing ind if
the case is again lost it orobablv
will be a closed issue as lar as the
Interstate Commerce Commission is
concerned.
The railroads claim greater
breakage from lengthwise loadmr.
one apparent concession finally was
offered Valley shippers who were
given the privilege of loading
lengthwise for shipments in fbe
southwestern rate territory. The
catch in this “concession’’ is that
few of the Valley’s tomatoes remain
In this rate territory but to go to
eastern markets. Tomatoes loaded
lengthwise and going outside the
southwestern territory would take
a 20 per cent penalty. Tomatoes
might be started into southwestern
territory but be diverted later II
the diverted cars were loaded
lengthwise they would automatical-
ly take the penalty.
The shippers point to tests made
last spring by a railroad organiza-
tion as to the fanner in which to-
matoes carried oacked in the two
different ways. Pour cars were ship-
ped by John Morris. Jr. to eastern
markets and an accurate record
kept all the way with scientific
tnstiuments. Morris reported that
the lengthwise cars arrived in bet-
ter condition with less breakage
and brought a better price
The .shippers association is seek-
ing to interest leading receivers
everywhere in the Valley’s case and
several are expected to appear at
the hearing here. .
