Texas Gas Fields To
Feed Foreign Marts
TULSA May 17--*#Ph—'The gas
fields of the southwest within a
few years may be feeding a vast
system of pipelines carrying the
fuel to consumers in widely distant
parts of the United States.
That is a picture projected by
recent developments in the natural
gas industry. An ever widening
network of transmission lines some
of them more than 400 miles ill
length is.seen as the nucleus of a
distributing system that may even-
tually embrace the entire nation.
Pipelines in operation today
have accelerated greatly the move-
ment of gas to market from the
producing area comprising Okla-
homa. Texas. Louisiana. Arkansas
and Kansas. Their part has been
an important one in the rejuvena-
tion of the natural gas industry
following the setback given it in
1921 by sharp declines in the pro-
duction of West Virginia and
Pennsylvania. At that time the
presence of gas in huge quantities
in the southwest was unknown.

Gov. Mcodv contends pointing to

He said he had been advised that
5.000 people died in Texas of

existed RO.000 active rases in the
State or one for every 62 per-
sons.

us down. Think what it will mean

Who are we to stand the blame for
their losses? Can se and should
we do it?”
Some Opposition
J. E. Dunlap repheo that Browns-
ville and Point Isabel had "cut
Harlingen's throat” in the port
fight and insisted tiiat neither town
should be given any quarter “They
have fought and ate still fighting
us” he argued “why should we
let up now?”
Clifford A. Hem?n next took up
the discussion and nrged that the
Brazos port receive the backing of
Harlingen. "If we contirue our
activities the government soor. will
not look upon any project es a
Valley project but may think tnat
any port would benefit only the
town insisting upon it. Tnen we
would have no port no cheaper
freight rates no channel for pleas- 1
ure vessels no waterway of any
kind. We ought to cast selfishness
aside and unite for a Valiev port ” !
Pres. Rodgers asserted that he
believed he was speaking for all
those present when he declared the
Arroyo Colorado was by far the
best project. "But if insisting upon
these views now will knock out
Brownsville and Pomt Isabel with
no assurance of any good to H.ir-
lingen.” he predicted "we would
be making a costlv mistake. The
time is at hand wh**n we should
Join hands with other Valley towns

jects”
The Harlingen postmaster de-
clared he believed J B Chambers
and Gen. Lansing H. Beach w«re
honest in their efforts »o block
action on the Brazes-Santiago pro-
tect and any other oroje.-t and to
obtain a port for Harlingen. He
added however tnai he believed
them "misguided at this *me.'
J. A. Palmer tiien asserted he
was for the arroyo project "first. >
las' and always" He said he would
not “budge an inch” from this
position and insisted that the
majority of the people of Harlingen
were with him.

A- Si
ion that the federal government
rould not give Harlingen a port
intil after It’s own engineers had
nade their own survey. "This pr!-
•ate survey we have made." he
irgued “will have no el feet. I
lon’t mean that we should give an
nch on the arroyo but we should
)ide our time and not dig our own
rrave by supporting the action of
his mass meeting ’
Another director. L. E Stkinberg.
pointed out that or.e dollat out of
•very fifteen collected in Harlin-
?en taxes had gone to defray the
•xpenses of the navigation district.
If we can't get the best." he sug-
gested. “then let us get the next
Jest" He also stressed the argu-
ment that Harlingen was net ia-ge
•nough to stand the high taxes
which would be retired to sup-
port a bond issue large enough for
» port project such as the one
under discussion.
Olenn C. Farris. also a chamber
5f commerce director advanced
fhe argument that the government
ts anxious for a port “down here at
the tip of Texas.” He said war de-
partment engineers rfter vears of
study had concluded Point Isabel
Is the logical plac« for one. 'If we
can get a port at Po:nt Isabel at
government expense." he asked
"why not have om ?”
Gamer’s Letter Read
Again taking the floor. Pres
Rodgers asked the directors to
"think of the state of mind of the
legislators in Washington who put
Point Isabel into this bill. Will
they be willing." he demanded "to
come put a port rignt in the very 1
backyard of those who were in-
strumental in having their project
turned down."
John T. Floore secretary of the
chamber was asked to read the let-
ter from Congressman John N.
Garner expressing surprise at the
action taken at the mass meeting
and pledging himself to do all in
his power to eventually put over
the arroyo project.
•‘If we can't get deep water.”
Pres. Rodgers said "then we wart
the most we can gee and that seems
to be a survey. This letter from our
Congressman leaves the responsib-
ility for this project resting square-
ly on hts shoulders and I am sure
he will do everything possible to
get it for us"
Clayton Pritchard the last di-
rector to sneak suggested that per-
haps Mr Chambers had gone a bit
too far in his activities in Wash-
ington "He went up there primar-
ily” Mr. Pritchard said “to as-
certain whether we could build a
channel for $500000
“I am not sure which is best for
us right now" he added “a 25-
foot channel or a nine foot chan-
nel. I am afraid we made a mistake
in the first place when w? tried to
