VALLEY
By RALPH L. B1ELL
TODAY IS THE FOURTH OF
July, and the world over the 159th
anniversary of the independence of
fhese United States is being cele
brated.
But the day has Just a little more
intimate association and meaning
to those of us who labor on The
Brownsville Herald.
It is the birthday of The Browns
ville Herald.
On July 4. 1892. Jesse O. Wheeler
established yhe Brownsville Herald
as a daily newspaper in the little
old city on the banks of the Rio
Grande.
As a daily newspaper it has con
tinued for these 43 years, first un
>jt£S>the guidance of its founder, then
I th Mrs. Jesse Wheeler at the helm,
men under the present publisher—
Who let The Herald get away from
him for a few years, but pulled it
back to his ownership at the first
opportunity,
• • •
PROBABLY BECAUSE MR
Wheeler envisioned for The Browns
ville Herald a future based largely
on the development of the then fron
tier country that had no railroad
connections—
None of the development that
characterizes the Valley of today—
The work of The Herald through
out the years has been largely that
of assisting in the development of
this new country.
And those who have guided the
dcstinites cf The Herald, those who
have worked on The Herald,
Have ever been keenly anxious to
contribute their bit to the forward
march of progress of the Lower Rio
Grande Valley.
MR. AND MRS WHEELER BOTH
were impressed with the future that
loomed for the land of their adop
tion once railroad connections were
assured.
To them must be given credit for
leading the fight to raise the $100,
000 bonus which brought the St.
Louis, Brownsville and Mexico road
into the Valley.
Perhaps it is a coincidence, but
ti.e first train to arrive in the Val
lty carrying passengers came in on
the Fourth of July, 1904, making an
«uer very good reason for the hcli
| having a real meaning to the
ople of the Valley.
• • •
AND FOR STILL ANOTHER
reason does the Fourth of July rank
h‘gh as a holiday tc be celebrated
bj the delta country of the Rio
Grande.
The fight for deep water went on
for years and years.
Water furnished the primary
transportation of the country.
Valley pioneers, many of them,
came to the country by water from
Texas or Louisiana ports to Point
Isabel—
And some of them continued their
Journey into the hinterlands by boat
up the Rio Grande.
• • •
STEP BY STEP THE PEOPLE
sjkthe Valley persisted In their strug
IjP-s to secure deep water transpor
ation.
Finally the Brazos Island Harbor
program won the approval of the
Board of Army Engineers and was
established b' act of congress, pro
viding for deep water ports at
Brownsville and Port Isabel.
Federal cooperation was provided,
funds being ear marked for the
building of the Jetties at Brazes Pass
and for constant maintenance of the
channels.
And once again the Fourth of July
wood out as a red letter day in Val
ley history as on July 4. 1931. Presi
dent Herbert Hocver signed the Riv
ers and Harbors bill which assured
federal approval and federal funds
for deep water for the section.
• • •
■jjo AS THE BROWNSVILLE
jprald today changes to ‘FORTY
rOURTH YEAR—NO T—
Our thoughts cannot but pasa the
years In review—
On down from July 4. 1892, when
Jesse WTieeler had the vision and the
ceurage to back it up—
To the present day when great
things dawn for the section, things
tar greater, we imagine, than eith
er Mr. and Mrs. Wheeler would have
dared to dream for the Valley.
That rare combination of man, he
Jrho dreams and then dares to baek
his dreams with action—
Has built the Valley.
Typical of the America that dared
to break loose from the great Mother
Nation and build for itself—
Has been the history of the devel
opment of the Valiev.
THE FOURTH OF JULY IS A
Valley holiday, separate and apart
from the interest we hold In partner
ship with the rest of the nation.

Death of Millions of Fish
Along Padre Island Probed
CORPUS CHRISTI. July 4. OP
—Clyde T. Reed, instructor in
charge of the A. and L College
marine biology laboratory at La
Quinta, said he hoped to ascer
tain Thursday the cause of the
death of millions of fish along
the shores of Padre Island.
Reed and Bob Parley, deputy
game, fish and oyster commis
sioner. had reached the conclu
sion that the fish were killed
probably by a rift on the ocean
floor or a slight volcanic dis
turbance which opened a sulphur
dioxide gas pocket.
Farley estimated that approxi
—ately 10.000.000 pounds of fish
were destroyed along a 40-mile
strip between Corpus Christl
pass and big shell banks. He said
such a situation was unknown In
the records of the Gulf coast.
The theory that gas caused the
death of the fish was strength
ened when fishermen and visitors
to the beaches reported that chok
ing gas waves were evident. They
said they were seized with deep,
racking coughing attacks that
continued increasingly.
