THE GREAT FLOOD OF 1890.
Nearly the Whole State Suffered from the
Effects OF Heavy Rains.
Was Scattered Over a Wide Area and Was Very
Heavy EVerywhere-Lasted Twenty Days.
Government Furnished Rations.

The food Of 1899, which Is recalled by
present high waters In Texas, was one Of
the most disastrous IN the history Of the
State. Every river east of the Peco3 and
north NJ the Rio Grande was ont Of banks,
most Of them establishing new high rec
ords; large section OF country many
thousands Of acres Of the best farming laad
were under water for weeks, and the
property loss reached high into the millions
The loss Of life was never accurately de-
termined. bur published accounts showed
that Mt least 100 lives were lost ~ Hood
and wind for violent atmospheric disturb.
onces prevailed ia portions OF the State.
The rains which caused the great hood
began June ~. on the following three days
there were heavy falls as much as dftcen
inches being recorded IN the vicinity OF
Brenbam ana Hearne; at other places ne
fan was not SO heavy, but it was a down
pour hlliHg the small streams with water
beyond their capacity to carry; the rivers
were 1lcd in q short time and then there
was no outlet for the WAGER In the creeks
aud branches, which necessarily spread out
over -he farms which bordcred them. The
great area over which the rains were
sprea I. the stogdiness with which tho down
pour came and the length OF time f. con.
tlnuod contributed 10 the extent of the
disaster, FOR the bottom lands are In aigh
regard among farmers because OF their
great fertility and all Of the crops corn
