Ancient Villages
Are Turned Back to
Dust of Farmland

Ell PASO, Texas.-Within less than
200 miles from FL Paso five old towns
gradually have given away to irriga.
lion waters. and their former sites
are now farm lands.
Cantadero, a peaceful Mexican vii.
lage 200 years ago, on the banks of
the Rio Grande, is one of the places
which has been wiped out. Although
II withstood the storms and hardships
and some attacks from the Apaches
within the past two centuries, the wa.
ter has washed away the thick adobe
walls.
Cantadero had a population OF 400
persons. Other towns wiped out slowly
by the waters from the Rio Grande
and the Elephane Butte dam waters
were were Canta Ricio. with a popula.
tion of 300; San Algino. 25O. San Jose,
?h0 Alamocito 800 Each had It's ancl.
ent churches. stores. cemeteries and
school houses. These are TO be seen no
more. save for few crumbling walls
which the water has entirely melted
down.
