RIVER ACTS in
A PECULIAR WAY
AT Pump PLANT
Especial TO the H,rald)

HARLINGEN. Texas, Sept. 20.--The
Rio Grandc river situation at the Har-
lingen pumping plant continues to hold
the exceedingly high mark reached
On Friday. September i4th. During the
past week the river at this point has not
varied one inch either up or down.
There seems to be something odd about
the actions of the river at this time, as
heretofore n fall at Mission was gcner-
ally felt within iS hours at the Harlin-
gen plant but during this rise no such
reaction has been experienced. Instead
of falling here the river seems to have
taken upon itself to rise slightly. At
Mission the first fall was reported on
s. ptembcr 18th when the river fell lilo
foot from q pm. Wedns sday to \ am.
Thursday. From Thursday morning ut
o'clock until l:35 that afternoon a fur
ther fall Of 2l0 foot was reported and
on Friday. S,ptc mbcr 18th total fall
OF two feet was reported from the high
mark reached on September 18th. On
~ 18th NJ ssion reported the stage oil
the river at 22.i feet which was the
lowest reached until Wednesday morn
ing at 500 o'clock when q stage Of 2l.o
feet was reached Up until i0:i0 today
no report had been received from RIO
Mission office but report from RIO
