URGES EVERY PRECAUT|ON TO
PROTECT PROPERTY ON RIVER

between Brownsville and Mission are
not unexpected.
The Arroyo Colorado, which in
former years always proved safety
valve for the flood waters of the
Rio Grande, was reported last night
in a virtually normal condition, in
dicating that none of the flood waters
are reaching that outlet to the sea.
However, the Arroyo de Tigre, on the
Mexican side and located about
eighteen miles west of Matamoros,
was doing yeomen service yesterday,
carrying a volume of water almost
mile wide southwark for miles into
the interior of the state of Tamau-
lipas.
While few reports from river points
were available last night as to the
station Of the river, it was regarded
here as certain that the river itself
il full to its banks, and that almost
everywhere levees are menaced by
the constantly increasing waters
The hope was that the San Juar
river, which continues to flow flood
waters only in the event of protract-
ed rains in the Monterrey country
will have spent its force before the
advent of flood waters from farther
up the Rio Grande.
Roma, west Of Rio Grande City
yesterday afternoon reported the
river rising rapidly there, indicating
probably that the Salado, which
drains a section similar to thai
drained by the San Juan, was adding
its waters to those being brought
down by the San Juan, lower dowr
/ stream.
The break in the levec at Mission
which caused the choking Of a rcsacf
and its overflow, has become more
serious, insofar as that immediate
section is concerned, but was be
| lieved in Brownsville TO have afforded
some relief to levecs farther dowr
| the river.
The last reports from Monterre!
were that it was still raining hard il
that section.

six foot rise, with a rainfall of 3.3l
1 inches.
Old timers in Brownsville poin
out that the river at Rio Grand,
! City would have to go to forty fee
and above before is could menac,
seriously the lower parts Of the river
Hover, they admitted that the clos
ing of many outlets in the lower sec
ton may have changed the situation
| somewhat.

prepare for further rises in your
section, with the river above flood
stage at Mission Sunday" was the
warning broadcasted over the Lower
by the United States Weather Bureau
at San Antonio, which also urged
the use of every precaution to pro-
caution to protect property.
The last report from Rio Grande,
reached Brownsville early last night,
said that the Rio Grande there had
risen twenty-five feet and six inches,
or one inch higher than the record
earlier in the day. This gives a
total water depth Of over thirty-one
feet, the normal depth being about
six feet.
Rio Grande City also reported the
San Juan river out Of its banks, and
the town Of Camargo, on the San
Juan, and about opposite Rio Grande
City, has been completely abandoned
by its population of approximately
five hundred souls. The people have
gone ito the hills, beyond the reach
of the floodwaters.
In the meantime every possible
precaution is being taken on the low
er reaches Of the river against what
is believed to be the most serious
flood in many years. Levees which
have been built within the last two
years, it is pointed out, mean that the
channel of the river is being called
upon to handle a greater volume OF
water than ever before, and break:
