THE article in another column on
the overfows of the Brazos valley is
pertinent and timely. Whether the
remedies suggested are available or
not il is certain that the necessity of
some steps to prevent recurrence of
those disastrous overilows by amend
ing the channel of the river is impcr-
alive, and it is subject demanding
the earnest attention of the people.
Colored labor, by which the valley is
mainly cultivated, is badly shaken al.
ready especially in the sugar belt, and
another similar occurrence would
cause general decentralization while
the deterioration in the value of the
land is an item prolific with mcanin g.
The subject should at once engage
the attention of the press aud the
people out of which ii is possible the
proper means for averting future dis
astrous overtlows might be developed.
1t is subject to be discussed in great
mass-meetings all along the line of the
river.

The Great Overflow,


To the Editor Of the Examiner
Recent floods have at fair estimate
submerged in the Brazos valley alone
over one million acres of the finest
land in Texas, an area producing fully
one-fourth the cotton and almost the
entire sugar crop of the state and
capable of producing more OF these
staples, and of corn, than is now
raised within the limits of Texas. We
eau scarcely doubt but that the Hood
last year cut the productions of this
vast and fertile valley short one-third
with probable similar injury this
year. If so, the loss in farm produc-
tions alone, would be low for the two
years at an estimate of five million
dollars, TO say nothing of the enor-
nous less of stock, fences, horses,
utensils, the deterioration of value OF
land, aud sickness resulting from
overlooked territory. In view Of these
immense damages, is the question OF
the BrazOs overflow not one TO de-
mand the most serious attention of
our people, Is it not as important as
the deepening of Galveston bar or
any other matter of internal improve
ment that has received the attention
of our national representatives, or
