Alamo at San Antonio,

To preserve for posterity some record of the deeds of valor of the
Tcxa3 rangers, a memorial monument in their honor is planned.
The hard-rising old rangers with their six-shooters were disbanded
when their duties as prohibition enforcement agents turned public
sentiment against them. They were replaced by a new Texas ranger,
answerable only to the governor, and supplied with automobiles,
machine guns and airplanes. Disbanded but not forgotten, fne old
Texas ranger lives on in memory. These fearless rangers who often
rode the entire day in pursuit of duty received only $40 a month
for a private ar.J 125 for a captain. When the legislature make
financial provision, the proposed monument will be a likeness of the
late Captain W. J. McDonald who for 30 years was in command of
company of rangers. McDonald is said to have done more than
any one man to rid Texas of its lawlessness. Traditions established
at the Alamo by David Crockett and his ISO men were carried on by
the Texas rangers.
HAY UNZ POWER PROJECTS
Washington. Terms of an agree
ment for interconnecting the Platte
valley and Loup river power districts
in Nebraska were agreed upon Tues

creased allotments to the projects
would be made soon. C. N. McEl
fresh, Columbus, attorney, left at
noon with copies of the interconnec
tion contracts which will be submit
ted to directors of the two projects.
John P. Hogan, consulting engineer
for the Platte valley project, will
Join John McElfresh at Cleveland
and take ccpies of the contracts to
North Platte.
The PWA said Tuesday the in
creased allotments probably would be
given final approval soon. Mean
while, Harold Kramer, secretary of
the Loup project, and Eric Floor,
its engineer, conferred with PWA
engineers on tentative plans for ask
ing still further increased allotments
for distribution systems in eastern
Nebraska.
FIGHT SHORT HAUL REPEAL
Washington New protests against
repeal of the long-short haul clause
governing railroad freight rates were
laid before a house interstate com
merce subcommittee. Charles A.
Root of Boise, Ida., chief of trans
portation of the Idaho utilities com
mission, joined with Ed P. Byers of
Fort Worth, Tex., president of the
Southwestern Industrial Traffic
league, in passing the Pettingill bill
and other measures to modify or do
away with the controverted "section
four." They contended that if rail
roads were permitted to charge low
rates for long hauls to meet water
competition, the tariff for short trips
to noncompetitive points -would be
correspondingly increased. "It would
be a severe blow to interior cities
and communities," Byars said, "be
cause it would mean that upon their
shoulders would be placed the trans
portation burden of the nation."
ORDER NEGRO ADMITTED
Baltimore. Associate Judge
O'Dunne of the Baltimore supreme

LACK BLANK SUPPLY
The local old ag pension, board,
composed of the county -commissioners
and the county treasurer, have in
the last few days received , a large
number of requests for applications
for filing under the rovisions of the
new law. The local board has been
handicapped by the fact that the
necessary blanks on which the appli
cations are to be made, have not as
yet been sent them. The local board
in communication with the state
commission 'were informed that it
would probably be-ihe first of July
or shortly after that when these
blanks would be available. The lack
of the blanks makes it necessary to
postpone the registration and the
prospective applicants are urged not
to call until after the first of July.
Corn stalks are made Tnto wall
board, Rayon silk and numerous
other articles for which there is a
good demand. Why not factories
to process this abundant product
of Cass county farms? If the an
swer has been 'high shipping cost,'
river navigation should help to
solve that drawback.
