ONLY one section in the world,
the Valley, could boast of so
many happy events within the
past two weeks as have occurred
down here, Census reports showed
it to be the fastest growing section .
in the country. Its growth has been !
so rapid, so solid that it astonishes
any one who has not been in the I
Valley to discover the reason. One -
look, however, is sufficient to ex-!
plain it all. Gov. Moody w as right j
when he said this is the modern
Promised Land.
ONCE the Valley or any one of
Its towns makes up Its mind to
do something, it does it and does
it In a big way. Witness the man
ner in which Brownsville voters ral
lied to the cause of the port and
approved an additional issue of
$1,500,000 worth of bonds for the
project by a record-breaking major
ity and the largest turn-out of vo
ters in history. This action exem
plifies the spirit of the Valley—to
do big things in a big way—in a
hurry
• • •
DOWN here in the Tip of Texas
there always is something big
going on. Just as a reminder
a few of the activities of the past
two weeks will be given.
Plans are going ahead rapidly for
the formation of a Better Business
Bureau of the Valley, which will
clean out undesirables In all lines of
business, help counteract the vicious,
unfounded anti-Valley propaganda
being desslmated In some sections.
Gov. Dan Moody, loyal friend of
this section, paid it a visit, looked it
all over from one end to the other,
then delivered a ringing plea for
unity and pledged Its efforts
T cl shutting up its critics,
jfarlingen decided to hold an elec
tion July 8 to vote a $200 000 bond
issue for an extensive airport, made
plans to build an imposing country
clubhouse on the edge of the muni-1
cipal golf course, opened its new.
modern school house. Raymond -
ville also began raising funds for
a country club.
In San Benito, it was announced
work is soon to begin on a $300,000
school building program and a $75,
000 church. Mercedes also will have
a new school. News of lively build
ing activity has been received from
other Valley towns.
An African parrot celebrated her
thirtieth birthday by laying her
first egg and a queen bee, turned
air-minded, rode from Mexico to the
Brownsville airport, proceeded to
vamp every American bee in sight
and try to run the pilots away from
the hangars.
All of these things and many
others happened in only two weeks.
Think of it!
• • •
Brownsville and other valley
towns are the most popular
tourist* centers in the entire
state. There is no denying it. The
most conclusive proof is the fact
that the railroads do not offer all
year-around excursion rates to any
city in the state except Brownsville.
Texas has many wonderful places
but this action of the railroads
stamps the Valley as the real won
derland This is Just one more of
many things to brag about down
here at the end of the rainbow.

TERDAY business and profes
ior.al women from all over Tex
as began arriving for a convrn
which will last for three days,
•eginning Monday. The Valley wel
comes them with open arms. They
are among the state's most promi
nent citizens. They will like it down
here as every one does. Many of
them will come back — some to
stay.

EVERY fireman has his day. This
one certainly has enjoyed his,
fifteen of them. But now:
The Engineer comes ’round the
bend.
Goodbye, dear readers, goodbye;
The Firemans frolic now must
end.
Goodbye, dear readers, goodbye.
This is either a theme song or a
swan song. Take your pick. The
throttle is being turned over to more
able hands. The substitute goes
back to warm the bench.
Tne Freman takes a back seat.
Long live The Engineer.
"SALUTE!”
Bacon’s Firm Sued
The Valley Citrus Groves, Inc.,
Harlingen, was sued for $2,400 in
Vie district court yesterday. The
action was brought in the name of
Jennings and Speed, nurserymen,
also of Harlingen.
The claim grew out of money al
leged to be due the company for
nursery stock delivered during the
past eight to twelve months. The
case probably will be called at the
July term of court.
Earl C. Bacon. Harlingen iand

he and his associates had

FEW IN RACES
FOR VARIOUS
COUNTY JOBS
Many Incumbents Are
Unopposed, Survey
Discloses
With the date for filing candidacy
for district and state offices already
past and the closing date for
county filing only a week off, indi
cations point toward a mild politic
al season in Cameron county circles.
Unless business picks up briskly
in the office of H. L. Yates, chair
man of the county Democratic or
ganization during the coming week,
a number of officers will return to
their posts unopposed.
No candidates have announced
for the major county offices as yet,
but it is understood that practically
every officer will be up for re-elec
tion. These filings must be In the
office of Mr. Yates by Saturday.
Judge A. M. Kent is certain to be
returned to the bench in the civil
district court. Piling date for dis
trict offices is already past and he
is the only certified candidate.
By like token, George Westervelt
of Corpus Christi, who has been
serving as criminal district prose
cutor, will take over the Judgeship
of the criminal district court, suc
ceeding Judge A. W. Cunningham,
retired. Westerveldt is the only cer
tified candidate.
Two for Attorney
D. S. Purl of Corpus Christi and j
C. K. Richards of Brownsville will
be the two candidates for the post
of criminal district attorney. Purl
made a fair showing against West
ervelt last election. Richards, local
barrister, is entering politics for the
first time.
Several men have been mentioned
as possible candidates for the office j
of district clerk, a post now held by
John Scanlan of Brownsville. The j
incumbent has held the post over a
long span of years. Joe Cunning
ham of Harlingen, who opposed
Scanlan last year, Is a possibility.
George Waters of Harlingen and
Jim Browne of Brownsville are j
others who have been mentioned as
likely material. !
As yet, no opposition has shown j
on the horizon for County Judge O. j
C. Dancy. The judge defeated
Charles Mayfield of Harlingen in
the last race in handy fashion. He
is one of the oldest county offi
cials in the point of service Before
taking over the Judgeship, he was
county attorney.
Hall Unopposed
M. R. Hall, present county attor
ney. who will be seeking his second
elective term, has drawn no oppo
sition as yet and there is no indi
cation that he will. He was appoint- |
ed to the post Januarv 1925 by the
enmmisisoner s court and in the last ■
election beat his opponent two to j
one.
Hall was mentioned as a possible
candidate for criminal district
Judge, but he let Monday go by with
out filing for that position. He had

VOTE ON PORT
BILL NEARER
Tariff Passage Considered
Probable Soon; Senate
Anxious to Quit
The port bill definitely is next
on the legislative program of the
Senate and the upper branch of
congress will not quit until it is sent
to President Hoover for his signa
ture. <<t
This fact became certain yeste*,
day according to an Associated
Press dispatch to The Brownsville
Herald. The vote on the tariff bill
is expected by the end of next
week.
Meanwhile, all members of con
gress are getting anxious to get
back home. This is campaign
year and there are many fences to
build, many votes to corral.
Washington Hat
In addition to this, there is an
other reason for their wanting to
get a wav from Washington right
away. It is that the heat in the
nation’s capital is terrific at this
time of the year.
Of all the bills oA the legislative
calendar, the rivers and harbors
bill probably has the most wide
spread support. At least three
fourths of the members of con
gress have fingers in the pie and
they want it passed so they can
present, authorized products to their
constituents.
The port measure is one which,
according to all reports from Wash
ington. the president will sign. The
money authorized to be spent, it is
understood, he believes will do
much toward aiding financial con
ditions in the country. This dis
patch from the Associated Press

Fire Alarm Mystery Solved
-
Police Arrest Three Who Confess to Pulling
Signal Boxes Without Cause
The vigorous campaign the Brownsville police force has been directing
against persons maliciously turning in false fire alarms bore fruit Sat
urday when confessions were obtained from three men, one of whom
was a city employee.
Sam Klahn, Gonzalo Gonzalez and Ysmael Perez were the three men
making the confessions. Klahn is a city employee at present.
The men were placed under $250 appearance bonds and will be tried
before City Corporation Judge A. A. Browne Monday morning.
NEW ROAD
Raymondville, June 7.—Laying of
the concrete road from Raymond
viille to the Kenedy-Willacy county
lines eight miles north of here was
completed today.
This completes Willacy county’s
share of the Hug-the-Coast high
way and joins up with the highway
from Raymondville to Harlingen
and Brownsville.
When the road is designated and
completed thru Kenedy county, this
will form one of the main entrances
into the Valley and give the tourists
enter the iRo Grande Valley by one
route and leave by another. It is
being hailed here as a step toward
building up and increasing the
population of Raymondville.
Additional arrests are expected to
be made In the near future. Lt. of
Police John T. Armstrong states.
In their confessions, Gonzalez and
Perez blamed Klahn. saying he in
structed them to turn in false al
arms. Perez is a waiter at the El
Jar dm dining room.
Since the past election, false al
arms have been turned in fre
quently and special legislation
against malicious alarms has been
put through the city commission.
The three men will be subject to
$200 fines when they confront Judge
Browne Monday morning. City
Manager Z. A. Rosenthal also has
authorized a $50 reward for the
arrest and conviction of anyone
turning in false alarms.
The fire chief has frequently is
sued pleas for people to refrain from
turning in false alarms, pointing
to the danger caused whenever the
fire department makes a needless
run.

NOT GUILTY
PATERSON. N. J„ June 7—tJFt—
Dwight W. Morrow, candidate for
the United States senate, in a
campaign address here last night
said it was unfair to hold Germany
fully responsible for the World War.
' It was the popular thought," he
said, "to place the blame on Ger
many for all the responsibility for
the World War. This is an unfair
attitude, for'the war started by the
fear and pressure of naval competi
tion. Everyone was running around
;ft circles telling what the other
nations were doing in preparation
for war."
He expressed regret that Ger
many was not represented at the
London naval conference and said
he hoped she would be invited to
* e next conference to be held in
1935.

ARROYO RESORT
PLAN PROPOSED
Association Would Prevent
Pollution Favored
By Engineer
- %
• Special to The
SAN BENITO, June T-Forma
ticn of an Arroyo Colorado Protec
tive association to prevent pollution
of waters of this stream and to
piomote its resort possibilities, has
been suggested by W. E. Anderson,
consulting engineer, to various per
son? seeking advice concerning the
problem of keeping the arToyo wa
ters fit for bathing.
Health officers have reported from
time to time that waters of the ar
royo were being polluted and Dr.
W E. Spivey has declared them
unfit for bathing due to sewage
which was finding its way into the
stream.
Just exactly from what source
the contamination is coming has
no* been fully determined because
it is possible for every city along
tie Missouri Pacific Lines in the
Valley to contribute sewage. Nor
mally this waste is absorbed by
the earth but in the event of heavy
rams or a large volume of sewage,
it can find its way into various
d‘tches, resacas and lakes emptying
h to the arroyo.
Mr. Anderson has suggested to
persons consulting him that rep
resentatives if the Boy Scout and
Girl Reserve organizations and ind
ividuals having a personal or public
interest in keeping the waters un
polluted, form themselves into an
association to prevent the undesir
able conditions. He points out that
th*y would be able to work much
more effectively as an organization
than as individuals.

Pilots Bow Before Queen Bee
A Mexcian queen bee became
airminded, hopped a Pan Amer
ican plane to Brownsville, de
planed at the Municipal Airport,
and immediately started house
keeping.
Within a short time she vamp
ed so many American bees she
had quite a household.
Her intentions were good, air
port authorities agree, but her
choice of homes was not.
, Les Mauldin, popular pilot,
climbed into his ship slowly and
came out rapidly, followed by a
cloud of angry bees. The queen
been had slept In the cockpit of
hi£ ship overnight, with hundreds
at her lovesick swains. Mauldin’s
ship was soon cleared of the bees.
But Pilot Drayton wished that
they had remained in their origin
si home when he climbed into
his plane the following morning.
There they were full of vim,
vigor, and stings. They were
again routed and Drayton con
tinued on his flight, plus several
swollen bumps.
Another pilot encountered the
beer the next day, and it was
decided that as a hapit the queen
bee's choosing planes for her

Monett, airport official, finally
caught the queen, who was lol
lowed by the other bees. They

This Is not the first time bees
have arrived here via airplane. It
war revealed Saturday. Several
times previously they have come
tc Brownsville by air. But this
one was the first royal member
of- the bee family.
And the air route is not confined
to bees. A rattlesnake once made
the trip, coiled around the land

It is hoped that airmindedness
will be confined to bees and oc
casional snakes, pilots said. If the
