VALLEY
..
CURRENT ISSUE OF COLLIER S
Magazine tells about Mexico—
And that highway from Laredo
to Mexioe City.
There are photographs maps and
descriptions.
This is only a starter.
During the next few years when
that highway to Mexico City is in
first class shape Mexico and its
F i American highway will be in
all the magazines and in the news-
papers.
• e •
THJS WILL IMPRESS ON VAL-
.#y people the importance of get-
tg that highway from Matamoros
Victoria.
Which will put this section on
all those maps of Mexico
And will bring a large part of
thoee American tourists through
here.
Any effort this section makes to
get that highway will be Justified.
• • •
INCIDENTALLY. THE ARTICLE
probably is the last written by Wil-
liam G- Shepherd.
For that writer whose feature
articles had made his name known
throughout the world.
Is dead.
• • •
FROM TIME TO TIME THERE
Is discussion along the border in
this section—
Of establishing a free zone in
Mexican cities on the border.
Establishment of such a zone at
Ha Juana and Agua Caliente re-
cently has revived the discussion in
this section.
It Is understood that the Baja
California free zone is an experi-
ment—
And that If it works It may be
tried along the border south of
Texas.
• • •
IN THE HERALD YESTERDAY
you read that the Boca Chica road
Is at least going to be made pass-
able.
It is regrettable that this earth
work has not been done already.
Valley people and tourists could
be driving to the fine beaches
there with the present warm weath-
er and bright sunshine.
Our guess Is that the State high-
way department will eventually
take over that road.
After all the amount of traffic
a highway carries lias much to do
with Us adoption as a state road.
And that highway carries its
share.
• • •
WE LIKE THE MANNER IN
which several dozen CWA projects
were started in the Valley.
From experience the past few
years people have come to consider
a federal project as somt thing that
requires from five to fifty years o*
effort—
Depending on the amount of
money and the amount of pull the
immunity can exert.
^And here these CWA projects are
started first then applied for and
approved later.
It goes to prove that It really Is
not necessary to wait several yetrs
to start something.
The projects on which they are
working now—irrigation drainage
highway par.* etc.
Are Just as worthy as any fed-
eral projects we have seen.
• • •
FURTHERMORE. MEN WHO
are working on these Job6 need not
feci that they are objects of char-
ity.
They are not—
They are working on projects
which are Just as legitimate and
important as say. postoffice build-
ings.
The federal government Is paying
for them—
And the people who pay taxes pay
In the long run—
Which is the same thing that
happens .a other federal projects.

obtain several thousand dollars in
cash.

"And neither has anyone else The

"Do murders ever seem likely?”
"Of course. Lots of them do—

was murdered even if he was a
double-dealing old pirate with

“Why. Louie would stand and lie to

Mob Gather* Early
The muttering throng began
gathering about the jail about 9
p. m. The jail an antiquated brick
building to the rear of the court
house had been prepared against
the possibility of a lynch move-
ment but was unable to withstand-
ing the improvised battering ram*
of the attackers. Automobiles park-
ed across the alleys about the jail
building did little to impede the
advances of the besiegers
Two shots tired from the crowd
as a signal started the first at-
tack. a barrage xf rocks gathered
from across ti* \ley where a new
post office bufining is under con-
struction. clattered against the jail
walls. Olficcrs within the jail let
loose with three tear gas bombs.
Blinded and weeping the attackers
fell back.
By this time some 3.000 persons
had gathered to watch. The 35 of-
ficers in the jail building sent > it
a call for more tear gas. All light*
in the building were extinguished.
The blinding tear gas from the
first three bombs was still hanging
like a thin veil about the building
when the second attack began. Sev-
eral of the attackers took from the
post office building a piece of steel
pipe 8 Inches in diameter and
about 20 feet long and used It as
a battering ram. smashing in '.tie

a few moments for the gas to lift
the mob stormed ahead once more

seized anothe pipe and joined the
