[VALLEY|
IN THE NEWS COLUMNS OP
today’s issue of The Herald there
are several stories which contain
matter that should be food for
thought.
For instance that Boca Chica
road matter.
The Texas Highway Department
has made a survey showing that it
will take $40000 to repair the road
and put it in first class shape.
If you want to be optimistic and
hopeful you might construe this
survey as an indication that the
highway department may build the
road.

IN THE SAME NEWS ARTICLE
you will read t comment by Judge
A. W. Cunningham the county
judge of Cameron county that
VNot (me cent of Cameron coun-
tF%noney will be spent on that road
while I am county Judge ”
What we need in this county as
well as in the entire Valley is sym-
pathy with all our communities all
our projects and all our industries.
In times such as these Judge
Cunningham it seems at least bad
form for a county official to con-
demn one of the largest road proj-
ects in the county and set him-
self squarely against helping it.
Such an attitude will inevitably
be felt elsewhere—for instance by
the Texas Highway Department.
You might naturally wonder how
a county judge with such an at-
titude could make an honest effort
to get the state to pave that road.
THIS VALLE'? OP OURS IS
going through a period of supreme
test.
There are many of our institu-
tions and our financial projects
- which may not seem as sound as
some of our others.
In other words—you may prefer
your land to your neighbors.
But we are going out to the state
and nation and asking for help-
asking for loans and for outright
appropriations to help carry through
out development—to help us get on
our feet.
So let us. in the interest of the
whole Valley not condemn our
neighbors project.

For the Intracoastal Canal.
But will carry out a plan with

mission whereby the channel will

AND SPEAKING OF CHAN-
cels.
Did you know that the army en-
gineers have a model of the Bra-
aos-Santiago project up in their
Vicksburg. Miss. office?
There they have the jetties the
channel the Laguna Madre all in
miniature.
The water runs in and runs out
and it is then checked.
This model showed the following:
That when the new jetties are
built the outer channel would scour
ltylf to 24 feet with absolutely no
dSWging—
But that the channel would be
crooked and a straight one neces-
sitates dredging.
That the jetties are sufficient to
secure and maintain a depth in the
outer channel of 40 feet or more.
w W V
THESE THINGS WERE TOLD
us by T. W. Foreman civilian en-
gineer who has long been in and
out of the Valley on its port proj- ;
ects.
Mr. Foreman called attention to
the size of the jetties that are to be
built as compared to the ones
there now—
They will be 14 feet high as
against 4.
And that makes a lot of differ-
ence In the width take it from
him.
• • •
THE GOVERNMENT WILL!
start dred&lng on the outer chan-
nel when the jetties are half
through.
So that the channel will be ready
for boats when the jetties are
through.
And also we learned from Mr.
Foreman that the south jetty is
going to be abandoned.
And the Jetties put closer to-
gether—about 1100 feet instead of
1400 as now.
They will be parallel jetties in- j
ttead of converging.
Whatever that may mean to you.

Excuses For Delay

SIOUX CITY. Ia„ Oct. 28. i/Ph-
Exalted personages far flung prop-

and memory of 16th century adven-
ture figured in testimony today in
the trial of Oscar M. Hartzell pro-
moter of claims to the estate of Si'
Francis Drake.
Collected Million
Hartzell Is on trial in federal
court on charges of using the mails
to defraud In collecting large sums
which government attorneys esti-
mated might run as high as $1300-
000. to allegedly further his court
fight in England for the property.
The offering in evidence by the
prosecution of letters cablegrams
and bulletins he assertedly sent to
donors to his fund patterned a ro-
mantic background for the auditors
in the tiny federal court room.
The documents assured the Amer-
ican participants in Hartaell’s al-
leged claims that settlement of the
estate pictured as of a total value
ol nearly 22 billions of dollars was
near. Various reasons were offered
in them for delay. One time It was
the illness of no less a person than
King George V; another it was a
change in the high office of lord
chancellor across the sea.

the National Bank of West.

Mobley of McLennan county. Sher-
iff Mobley said tonight the arrest
of a fourth man tomorrow was ex-
pected. He said the third man ar-

Malaria Is Said
To Be Declining
Malaria which has been prevalent
since the recent rams and high
water is on the decline in the
lower portion of the Valley accord-
ing to Dr. T. A. Kinder. Jr. city
physician.
Continued dry weather coupled
with a cold wave would do much
toward eliminating the malaria-
carrying mosquitoes Dr. Kinder
states. The majority of the cases
of malaria which came under Dr.
Kinder's observation developed in
unscreened houses.
Malaria is said to be fairly pre-
valent in Matamoros. due to waters
from the recent floods and the lack
of house screens.
Numerous cases of malaria are
being treated by private physicians
in the lower Valley.

BEANS FIRST
TO LEAVE FOR
U. S. MARKETS
Shipments May B 4
Held Back For
Better Prices
The Lower Rio Grande Valley
will ship its first vegetables of the
1933-34 season this week probably
by Wednesday It was announced
Saturday by shippers who are pre-
paring to move beans the first
vegetables to go In the fall crop.
Beans Are Ready
Some beans already have been
marketed locally but due to the
unfavorable market conditions none
has been shipped.
Shippers estimated the fall move-
ment of beam from the Valley will
be close to 100 carloads. The ship-
ments will be scattered both as to
territory and time as there is
considerable variation In stage of
maturity. Heaviest acreages of
beans are found along the river in
the section from Harlingen south
to Brownsville.
Market prospects now are not
favorable.
Shipments are being made from
many parts of the country where
there has been no cold weather to
stop the harvesting. A freese in
the country from San Antonio north
on up into the Middle Western
states would check shipments from
that section and probably greatly
