Ohio & Texas Loses ReScrV. Water
While other people all over the
valley are complaining of getting too
much water, r. c. Wharton of the
Ohio and Texas Sugar company, on
the contrary, is complaining of losing
water. The breaking of the dam at
the sugar-cane plantation has almost
emptied the big lake which the COM
pany had filled with water to be
held in reserve in case it should ever
be needed. About forty feet of the
dam which was built to convert
section of the Resaca de la Guerra
into a large storage reservoir, has
been washed away, turning the water

get the lake filled again" was the
reply made with Mr. Whartons usual
