ARMY IN TEXAS FOR LONG STAY
CHIEF OF STAFF OF THE UNITED
STATES ARMY IN TEXAS.
Major General Leonard Wood Says
Army viii Remain Modified at
Texas City and Galveston.
(Copyright.)

Galveston, Tex. Arriving from
Washington for an inspection of con
ditions along the Mexican border from
Brownsville TO Nogales, Ariz., Major
General Leonard Wood, chief Of staff
of the United States army, accom-
panied by his aide. Captain Powell
CLAYTON, arrived in Galveston Sunday,
inspected the camp OF the Fifth bri-
gade at Fort Crockett and otherwise
looked into the condition of the army
camp. General Wood Monday inspect
ed the Texas City camp. He will also
20 to Brownsville, and from that town
will make an overland trip up the
Rio Grande to FL Paso, looking into
conditions along the border and in
speeding the border patrol. From FL
Paso he will proceed westward along
the border as far as Nogales, Arlz.,
before returning to his post at Wash
ingtOn.
While in Galveston General Wood
discussed the mobilization of the Sec
ond division, the causes which brought
City and the probable length of their
stay.
He was frank to say that the Sec
ond division would remain modified
at Galveston and Texas City for con-
siderable time. The Second division
Will remain modified at or near its
present camps until the conditions
which caused its mobilization are re-
moved" he said in answer to a ques-
ton. While General Wood refused
10 commit himself, it is generally
known that the condition which
caused the mobilization of the Sec
ond division at Galveston and Texas
City was the state of government in
ment is taken to mean that the Sec
ond division will remain modified
within striking distance of Mexico
until a stable government is establish
ed or until conditions reach such a
stage of anarchy that Intervention is
ordered.
Regarding the length of time in
weeks or months that the soldiers
would remain in camp at Galveston
and Texas City, General Wood said
that neither he nor any other man
could tell. Il do not know just how
long the Second division will remain
in the present mobilization camps"
he said, but | am sure it will be for
a long time. 1t may be for one week
or it may be for two years. / am al
most positive that it will be for as
long a time as six months"

Commission Takes Up Train Schedule.
From all corners
Of the great State


Baton Rouge.-The Louisiana rail
road commission, through Secretary
Henry Jastremski, Monday sent out
notice to all of the railroads of the
State advising that at its session TO
be held next month the commission
would take up the matter of the ac-
tion of a rule requiring all roads to
give ten days notice before changing
the schedule of any passenger train,
when the contemplated change is for
one hour or more.
The commission also proposes TO
consider a rule requiring all railroads
to post bulletin boards fifteen min
utes before the arrival of the train
and re-post the bulletin board every
thirty minutes when a thirty-minute
additional time is lost.
The commission gave formal notice
that it " I'D take up for considera-
ton and argument. at a session to be
held in the city hall at New Orleans
on May /, the case of the Shreveport
Chamber OF Commerce Us, the rail
roads. in the matter of the adoption OF
the uniform mileage rates.
The following rule will also be con
sidered at an early meeting: when
there are two or more lines between
any two points in Louisiana having
through connections, the lowest rate
established between such points shall
be charged by the other lines accept
ing freight for transportation between
said points. Rates from intermediate
stations will not be affected by this
ruling. No line, however, shall be
compelled TO protect the rate of an
other line, provided the shipper is no.

AvocA ISLANDS DRAINAGE PLAN
Six Thousand Acres Under Pump, and
Balance Soon Available.

Morgan City.-The final step for the
complete reclamation of AvOca island
! was taken this week by the AvOca
drainage commission when il awarded
the contract for pumping plant No 3.
This reclamation project, which drains
in one unit the $500 acres of land,
has now 5000 acres of its territory
under pump and over 1000 acres of
reclaimed land in staple crops, sugar
cane and corn. The island lies across
from Morgan City.
The dredging of all the drainage
canals is entirely completed and the
successful building of the 450-foot
dam across the mouth of Rock bayou
closes the system of levees twenty
three miles in extent. The completion
of the new plant will conclude the re-
clamation work undertaken by TIE
commission. The completion of the
dam across the mouth of Rock bayou
permits the pumping of the entire is
land with the present pumping plants,
and the water level in the canals and
interior bayous will be in CUltivatable
condition even before the contractors
will be able to complete the new plant.
The reclamation of Avoca island
has several features that are unique
to the project. The island is so shaped
that the interior system of bayOus has
been so designed by nature that this
large acreage forms a natural unit,
and the interior system of drainage
comprises the connecting by canals of
the natural streams and pumping the
water from the island at the three
points of triangle. The interior sys-
TEN of bayous form drainage canals
that could not be duplicated at an eX-
penditure under 100000, and the re-
sulting large storage capacity of the
drainage bayou is an advantage that
can not be overestimated
Pumping plants Nos. l and are in
operation and are draining a large
portion of the island.
The new plant will be located at the
mouth of the large reservoir bayou,
and as it will be operated more con-
stantly than the others, the commits
sion instructed its engineers, Warren
b. Reed of New Orleans, and its ad
visory engineer, William H. McGrath
of the Rio Grande valley, Texas, to
design the most economical plant from
the standpoint of fuel consumption as
well as efficiency and capacity Of
pump that modern practice permits.
Fog this reason the FurODean Dractice
of superheated steam and pOppet
valve engine have been adopted, and
there will be no plant in this country
of more economic steam consumption
for horse power delivered than the
one TO be erected on Avoca island.
