First Early Warnings Of High
Waters Cause Farmers to
: Take Precautions

A report today from Fort Ringgod.
Rio Grande City. Of an eighteen foot
rise there in the Rio Grande. and with
n heavy rise already in evidence on the
lower reaches of the border stream.
caused farmers all along ihC river pc
tween Brownsville and Mission today 10
take precautions against possible over
flow of lowlands. The river rose about
five feet at Brownsville last night. the
rise being attributed Ia high waters in
the San Juan river, in Mexico.
According To- river observers. the
eighteen foot rise reported to-day prob
ably will not have any serious effect on
the lower end of the stream. unless il is
followed up with further heavier rises.
This could be- brought about. they re-
port. by heavy rains along the Salado
and San Juan rivers. both in Mexico.
and both of which are the only import
ant Rio Grande feeders east of Laredo.
No heavy rains are reported from the
del Rio and Zig Bend section.

die 20 bare six feet by the time it

fact that Mr.. Hornberger has worked
constantly to get this line graded and

have named it the ''Double H" (Horn-

think that Mr.. Hornberger is done
