THE VALLEY'S CENTENNIAL
exhibit at Dallas has consumed ap-
proximately $18000 which amount
has been raised out of a needed
$25000
The committee ol which Mayor
E. A. Brown of Edinburg is chair-
man announces that $10000 is still
needed to be raised if the exhibit
Is to continue to function.
Funds in sight will carry it
through the month of July. But
there are still four months to go.
The committee in charge has done
a man-sized job. Those two Edin-
burg men. Brown and W. R Mont-
gomery. have gone deep into their
own pockets to help carry the thing
through
More cooperation more assistance
is needed. Ways and means are to
be discussed.

LATER THIS MONTH THE
railroads are going to observe * Rail-
road Week."
j It is to be a nation-wide event.
' The railroads are coming back.
They have air-conditioned nearly
all their trains'. They are making an
intelligent bid for that business
that trailed away from them to the
highways
They point to safety they point
to added comfort They are giving
the day coaches comforts which
extra charge passengers have not
known heretofore.
They are serving meals at rela- 1
tively low prices. They have solved
the dust problem The cinder prob-
lem is long behind them.
• • •
BUT AS THEY ARE GOING UP
in business extra charges seem to
be again eating into their revenues.
As witness the recent report ol
the Missouri Pacific Lines
The net operating Income of the
Missouri Pacific for May totalled
$311519. compared with $893151 in
May. 1935
A drop in net of $580000. Yet
the Missouri Pacific operating
revenues for May. 1936 were $6765-
051 as compared with $5857150 in
that month of 1935.
An increase in operating revenues
of about $900000 and a drop in net
of nearly $600000
# • • •
THE "BROWNSVILLE RAIL-
rc d. or the "B & M„" or the Gull
Coast Lines is a part of the Mis-
souri Pacific system.
In May of this year its net
. operating income was $69064 com-
pared with a net in 1935 of $168-
851.
A drop in net of $100000 yet the
operating revenues for the same
month jumped from the May. 1935.
figure of $867 740 to $1.019 737 for
May. 1936.
A great deal of the responsibility
for the varying figures is in charges
set aside for the social security act
and the federal retirement act. and
last year figures are affected by
• credits as a result of the nullifica-
tion of the federal retirement act of
18?4.
H.^ptoer those things may be. the
railroads are improving their situa-
tions They are "coming out of it."

MEXICO HAS COMPLETED A
ten years engineering Job.
Now completed is the $17000 000
Nuevo Laredo-Mexico City section
of the Pan-American highway.
Vice President Garner and Secre-
tary Eduardo Hay of Mexico's state
department headed the official
delegations of the two countries
dedicating the highway at the
northern terminus at Nuevo Laredo
Now should come the Matamoros-
Victoria section of that highway.
This 220-mile stretch when com-
pleted will give alternate routes in
and out of Mexico.
Go in at Laredo out at Mata-
moros; or in at Brownsville and out
at Nuevo Laredo.
In the next few years there is
certain to be a great movement of
tourists into interesting Mexico. I
