Territorial Engineer Charles d. Mil
Ter received a telegram today from
NJ. Apodaca of San Antonio, Socorro
county, stating that the Rio Grande
was washing away the town and i'm
ploring the engineer to hurry there to
direct the fight against the waters.
There are probably 500 people In
San Antonio and with the aid of peo-
pie who live nearby, a formidable
army can be marshalled to protect 1t
from destruction. The method OF
fighting the expanding stream is to
take sacks and fill them with dirt and
rocks and throw them at the neck OF
the stream where the first encroach-
ment was made. Gradually the waters
are diverted into the original bed OF
the river and thus the fast crumbling
sand is held in check.
