Red Falls 3 Feet;

LewIsVllle Reports Six Inch Drop in Back Water Railroads Have Re. sumed Traffic Supplies Shipp
 cd for Repairing Gas Pipe

A fall of three feet in the main channel of Red River and six inches of the back water was registered at Lewisville Wednes- day night and Thursday, accord ing to report received at the Gazette office last night. Re- ports to the Little Rock office of the Arkansas Natural Gas Com pany said that the fall was not sufficient to allow engineers to reach the break in the pipe line, near Garland City, but a large force is at the scene to begin repairs as soon as possible.
 H, l.. Snyder general superin- tendent of the Arkansas Natural Gas Company. left yesterday for Garland City. All supplies need ed for repairs were shipped from Little Rock Tuesday.
 Officials and engineers of the Arkansas Natural Gas Company believe that to straighten the Red River would remove the danger of floods in southwest Arkansas. This could be done 1t Is said, for a sum less than that expended in building and maintaining a levee system. II is said that if allowed, the river would straighten It's course ir many places.
 Nothing can be done toward repairing the line until the water recedes. Because of the depth of the water it cannot be deter. mined how much of the pipe line is washed out.
 The water has receded from the flooded areas up the river from Garland City and traffic has been resumed on both the Iron Mountain and Cotton Belt rail.
