friends. Edward Castellones, 20, is
dying and Billy Walters, &c. is dead
as the result of a fight, according to
police.
Castcllones swung himself from a

death grapple for hours, overturning
furniture, smashing windows and spat-

A slight argument began the battle,
ncighbors said.

Trail blazers have been at work for
several months mapping new motor
route TO the gulf coast of Mississippi
and Florida. They have been emin'
entity successful in their undertaking.
These pathfinders have shortened the
route from Chicago to Florida By
many hours, giving the interstate
tourist n much better trip, which
eliminates n certain hazard he has
been compelled to face in motoring to
the Southland.

POWER PLANTS
AID FARMERS
Of TEXAS

A great electrification project now
under way will make South Texas
one of the greatest, il not the great
est. agricultural and fruit districts In
the world with San Antonio as the
center. Scores of small electric plants
are being purchased by the Texas
Central Power Company, offices in the
Frost building, and are being linked
by great power lines.
The Guadalupe river and the rivers
in the rice belt district are being
damned to generate power for irri-
CATION and for operating factories,
farm machinery and for other cleo
trio work in this territory.
With electricity, the farmers will
be able to pump water to their crops,
run their farm equipment and do
everything by electricity. With this
aid, the South Texas farmer will be
successful at practically every under
taking IN raising crops.
BUILT CALIFORNIA.
Electricity has made California the
garden spot of the world, says f. d.
Nciswanger, vice president and gen
ernl manager. 1t has enabled the
farmers and fruit growers to trans
form these thousands of acres Of sandy
land in California into beautiful fruit
groves Texas, with soil end climate
that in much greater than that found
in California, can become oven greater
than the west coast district by the aid
Of electricity. Everything in Califor-
mia is done by electricity, he states.
AMPLE SERVICE.
BY connecting the hundreds of small
plants in South Texas, the company
will be able to supply every farmer
and manufacturer with any amount Of
electricity or power ct any hour. At
present these small plants are able TO
supply the various districts with a
small amount of power for. only few
hours day, Mr.. Nciswanger states.
At the present rate of development,
the next five years will see South
Texas completely electrified. In that
time the Texas Central Power Com.
pany will be able to furnish canneries,
factories and farmers with electricity
in any amount for every use, he states.
The power lines being erected will
carry enough power to supply inter-
urban street cars or electric railways
for South Texas when the need comes.
