The San Marcos, old settlers say,
is lower perhaps than they have ever
known it before, though not low by
any means as the term is usually appli
ed to streams. It's curious fact that
it is always lower in The winter than
the summer fact which would seem
to indicate that the theory that its origi-
nal springs lie far to the northwest, to.
wards the Rocky Mountains, is correct.
During the winter the waters up shat
way become ice bound, which would
explain the diminished quantity in our
river during that season; and hence
the severer the winter the lower the
