utes drive from Valley cities.
Vacations need not be expensive
this year or any year while living
to close to the gulf.
Pishing and swimming or lying
on a sandy beach under a health-
giving sun or sitting in the shade
in the cool ocean breezes always
have been one of America’s favor-
ite forms of vacation.
The thought of any phase of a
gulf vacation whether it be fish-
ing swimming in the cool salty wa-
ter. or picnicking on the smooth
white sand or just lazing awsy days

from business worries carries with
it the thought of Del Mar beach

own tent or if you like to live at
the seaside amid the conveniences
of home Del Mar is the place to
. select for your summer vacation

When a man lets his proper-

Pl&RGV LINES :
SHOWS GREAT i
DEVELOPMENT
Of the projects In the Rio Grai.'*„
Valley perhaps none has developed
more rapidly in the past few months
than has the Port Isabel and Rio
Grande Valley Railway which
maintains a railway line from
Brownsville to Port Isabel.
Although crippled by the hurri-
cane of last September the rail-
road has undergone huge repair
work and development during the
past few months and has handled
all rock and material for Jetty
work now going on near Port Isa-
bel. ?
At Brownsville a new engine house
has been constructed and all other
buildings damaged by the storm
have been repaired including the
office building and the passenger
and freight station.
A new 125-ton Fairbanks-Morse
scale of the latest type has been
erected at Port Isabel for weighing
jetty material as required by the
government and about two miles of
additional main line and side track
have been constructed to serve the
port work including a track to the
site of the turning basin.
Two. 65-ton locomotives capable
of hauling 3.500 tons of rock or 50
cars of rock each have been pur-
chased and now are in service.
Extensive work is under way to
straighten the roadbed. All bridges
have been reinforced with creosoted
piling and now are in first-class
condition capable of earning any
load Many loads of 100 tons each
are being made over the bed dally
New creosoted pine ties are be-
ing laid for track at the rate of
30 0 per month and w-ork of bal-
lasting track is progressing at
about the rate of three and a half
miles a month. Eight miles of track
ballast work has been completed
The ballast is furnished by the R
W Briggs Co. of Pharr and ortgin-
! ates at Sam Pordyce.
Extensive work of replacing and
widening banks along the right of
' way which were damaged by the
! storm is being rushed and will be
* completed Immediately. It .3 plan-
ned bv the railroad to have all the
track In excellent condition before
! the fall rains begin.
Bv the middle of June 2.500 cars
of rock and about 500 other loads
consisting of piling lumber ma-
chinery and other commodities nec-
essary in work on the port have
moved over the Port Isabel and
Rio Grande Valley Railway and it
is estimated that another 10 000
carloads of material remains u> be
moved The movement now Is ap-
proximately 40 carloads dally.
Rock for the Jetty work is moved
| into Brownsville over the Missouri
Pacific and Southern Pacific lines
some originating at Granite Moun-
tain and some at New Braunfels.
; Texas The rock ranges in weight
from 25 pounds to 10 tons each.
The larger rock are used for base
to support the smaller rock.
Large amounts of timber and
lumber material for the port work
originate in the states of Wash
ington and Oregon. East Texas and
Louisiana. I
Brill motor cars which have l
been in service on the lines since '
1925 will be replaced cn ’uly by
a new Chrysler automobile equip-
ped with steel flanged rubber-urea
wheels to handle passengers mail
and light freight. The rubber-ured
equipment will make travel over the
new railroad as comfortable as In
the family automobile.
Heavy freight is hauled by steam
engines.
The railroad expects to get a still
greater number of hauls when
causeway construction to Padre Is-
land gets under way.
Officials of the Port Isabel and
Rio Grande Valley Railway are:
Lon C. Hill. Jr. president; James
C. Bowie vice president; L. S.
Bourne general manager; L. B.
Brady secretary; Mrs. Frances* Mc-
Clure. treasurer; and W. A. Elling-
ton. auditor and general freight
agent.
HOLLINGSWORTH
FOR GOOD FOOD
Probably nowhere else in Browns-
ville or for that matter in South
Texas would one find such an air
of real genuine southern hospital- 1
ity intermingled as it were with a
homey atmosphere rib-sticking
meals and pleasing service as is
found at the Hollingsworth hotel
located at 933 Washington st et.
Mrs. Nora E. Hollingsworth the
proprietor has the unique record
of not having lost a guest tnrougn
fault of service in the past eight
years which is the period of tune
that she has been engaged in this
business here.
Sincere in her belief that her
patrons must have the best obtain-
able at all times whether in season
or out. Mrs. Hollingsworth during
this season will be found at most
any time from daylight to dark
surrounded by her staff of expert
cooks in the canning department
where she concocts and preserves
for future use all kinds of delicious
pickles fruits and vegetables which
will be served at such times when
they cannot be procured upon the
open market.
People away from home who
wander aimlessly from one eating
place to another become more or
less bored with the very necessity
of eating dut to their getting into
the habit of ordering the same
kinds of food and for this very
reason home cooking s-rved fam-
ily style has been r*e of Mrs. Hol-
lingsworth's specialties in fact she
stated that in addition to serving
her many regular guests she caters
to many patrons who reside away
from her hotel.
