men Win ShONelS were on the Job,
working heroically TO prevent the
spread Of waters.
The irrigation district headquarters
said at noon that only about one
hundred acres Of land were inundated
by the flood Of waters turned loose,
and no further damage was antici-
pated al that time.
As the crest az the primary fIo1I
progressed down he Valley toiav, n
terest centcrel in ihe situation IN the
Mercedes district. Mercedes tolay
was cut off by water on three sides.
On the west side both the railroad
and highway are out Of commission,
with more than six feet Of water
flowing over the road, and finding
its way eventually into the Arroyo
Colorado. The water flows To the
south Of town, leaving Mercedes i'll
a horseshoe, but safe 50 far.
The approach to mercedes from the
east BY highway was also impossible
as result Of from four To six feet
Of water over the road The rail
road trestle, however, permitted rail
road service to continue between har-
lingen and Mercedes.
About five hundred pounds IF dy-
Mantle were sent to Mercedes this
morning for the purpose Of forcing
further openings to permit an in
crease Of the water which j. finding
its way into the Arroyo Colorado.
Dikes which were constructed some
years ago to protect lands were to ~
blown up, il was reported.
The water on the west side Of Mcr-
cedes il overflow from Llano Grande
lake. On the north side Of Mercedes
which, if II overflows, probably will
result in the inundation at Sebastian,
AZ miles north Of Brownsville on the
main line Of the Gulf Coast Lines be
tween Brownsville and Houston. The
flood experience Of 3 years ago gave
railroad men the basis for the opinion
that this track may be too soft for
trains within the next forty-eight
hours.
With the exception Of the levee
break at San Benito this morning,
there has been no change in the river
situation in Cameron county. The
river itself continues bankfull, with
levees in the main holding well, and
with irrigation district officials and
engineers optimistic that they can
stand considerably more water with
out serious danger.
The Harlingen pumping plant re-
ported this morning that large num-
Der Of teams were put to work re
inforcing the lcvcc at the junction
with the La Feria district levees, and
this work was well underway by mid
morning. The levees at the pumping
plant were also reinforced, and raised
several feet, and is was stated BY the
engineer that the plant was in no
danger.
At Brownsville there was a slight
fall in the river over night, but this
is declared to have no significance
under the present general situation.
The stream i virtually at the same
height it has held for several days,
and has broken OUT at no point.
Levecs protecting the railroad yards
against overflow from the Ramircno
resaca are holding well today, and
city officials said there was no inn
mediate danger from that source.
Some water was creeping from the
river into a corn field below the Wells
place, but this was said to be not
1t j. comparatively small
opening. The narrow neck Of land
separating the river from the City
Resaca was also said to be in good
condition.
