Who Are the Croakers?

State Press of the Galveston News
Yesterday had the following notice:
The editor of the New Braunfels
Herald visited Austin and the big
dam last week. He writes: "The
Colorado river is said to be lower at
present than it has been at any time
in ten years; the entire flow of the
stream is now being forced through
three 36.inch pipes which run through
the dam near the west end. A care
full calculation shows the present flow
through these pipes to be sufficient to
produce a power of 1900 horsepower

when carried through the penstocks
on to the turbine wheels, and this at
the very lowest stage of the river for
ten years. Allowing the gates be
closed for twelve hours out of twenty
four, 1t would give fully $1,000 horse
power for the twelve hours of each
day; SO 1t is now plain that the engi.
neer who made the original surveys of
the river and estimated the power at
l2,O0O horse power for twelves hours
out of twenty.tour, was not extrava.
CANT IN his estimate, and still there
are croakers il Austin who continue
TO assert that they will not have 1000
horsepower.

PALMER HOUSE,
CHICAGO, April 7, 1893

Mr.. Chas. s. Morse, Austin Texas
DEAR SIR-Little did think of the
stupendousness of the task when l
promised you, just before leaving
Austin, to send you an account of the
Texas building on the exposition
grounds here. Yet, paradoxical as it
may seem, it is most pleasant privi-
lege, for after having looked over the
stately structures erected by the states
OF Illinois, Pennsylvania, California
and New York; after having examin.
ed the unique building built by the
young state of Washington and hav-
ing carefully surveyed the cute, little
Vermont villa, can honestly and
conscientiously say that the Texas
building leads them all as wine leads
water.
While it is not as large as some, yet,
my dear sir, you know the choicest
morsels sometimes come in small pack
ages. Although as yet in state oil
unfinished beauty it is attracting
much attention, and 1 speak guarded
ly and speak advisedly when 1 say
that no structure here will be more
admired.
1t will be great, glowing, glitter
ing compliment to the gentleman who
designed it, and those who contributed
toward its erection may we'll felicitate
themselves, and those who failed will
regret not having done so. Work.
men are hard at word on it, and in a
short time it will be ready.
Sincerely, ROBERT HICKS.

Heavy Wind Did Some Damage But Glori-

Special TO The Statesman.
SAN ANTONIO, April IA terrific
wind and rain storm visited this city
at an early hour this morning. Two.
brick residences we're blown down.
One of them was occupied by the fam.
lily of Capt. w. H. Dobbins. Two of
his sons were struck by falling timber
and slightly injured. The car sheds
of the West End Electric Railway
company was partly demolished.
Many residences and business build.
iugs were Unroofed. The greatest
damage was done to shade trees, the
streets being lined with broken
limbs and uprooted shade trees,
and the rainfall was the.
heaviest for several months and was
general throughout southwest Texas.
1t extended west of Val Verde
county and was the first good rain.
that section has had for two years.
The drouth throughout Texas was be-
ginning to be severely felt and during
the past few weeks thousands of head
of cattle have been shipped to the
Indian Territory owing to the poor
range afforded here. This rain will
revive the grass and be of incalculable
benefit to the stock interests.
