RIO CRANDE IS

ENTIRE VALLEY
Rising at Mission, but
Drop Reported at Rio
Grande City; Damage
Still Problematical

Thousands Of eyes are anxi-
ously watching the waters of
the Rio Grande which are prac-
tically flush with the top Of the
banks all the way from Mission
to the mouth of the river, with
the water level at Mission slowly
rising.
Last night the stream crept
up to its high water marks OF
last year and Of other FLOOD
years. But it is falling rapidly
! at Rio Grande City today.
In Brownsville it come up two inches
when it was thought to be bank full.
This morning it stood at 1862 according
to the guage at the Mason Transfer
Co.. which is two inches higher than the
mark reached last year. AT the river
the guage registered 1872 a rise of 2
inches since yesterday.
1t was necessary to continue building
up levees near the city in order to hold

the corner of Levee and Thirteenth
streets, as the ground there was lower
than the river.
The official report of W. ]. Schnur-
busch, local meteorologist, showed the
river to be dropping rapidly at Rio
! Grande City this morning, although it
is rising at Mission. Yesterday the

| sion. This morning it was 245 feet
| Flood stage there is<24 feet, although
the water is being held in. its banks, it
! was reported.
At San Benito the river yesterday
was at 23S This morning it had gone
up to PAL, or within one e-tenth of foot
of the high water mark set last year.
No rains were reported on the water
shed of the San Juan or Salado, or in
| the upper reaches Of the Rio Grande
Mr.. Schnurbusch said
If the river holds with the present
rise coming down from Mission, tbs
danger point will probably be past
| however it is a question whether the
stream will stand much more water
without breaking through, and the ex-
! tent Of the rise at Mission is still un

WACOBOY GETS
VALLEY FARM
CD. Whitman, I'll Grad
uate of A. & M. Given
Tract at Mercedes
Especial to the HeraId.)

COLLEGE STATION. Tex. June a.
c. d. Whitman, formerly of Waco, who
graduated from the A. and NJ. college of
Texas in the spring off 1921, has been
selected by the committee of A. and
NJ Officials to receive the tract of %
acres of irrigated land near Mercedes
offered by the American Rio Grande
Laid and Irrigation company through
r. L. Seay of Dallas, president of the
company. The name Of Whitman as the
successful candidate for the prize was
announced by President w. B. Bizzell
to the great audience of students and
visitors assembled for the commence
ment exercises Tuesday.
Whitman was not reared on a farm.
He is distinctly city boy, having
spent his boyhood in Waco. where he
finished from the Waco high school in
! l1917. His mother still resides there. He
declares that every inclination toward
professional work is toward agriculture
/ and says he felt the urge for the soil
| as mere youth The fact that three Of
! his sisters are farm wives and his own
desire indicates an inherent love fol
J rural occupation. He thinks it prob
able that their choice of farm life is
hereditary since their paternal and ma
ternal grandparents were plantation
| owners in Tennessee. Whitman's owr
father was a Baptist minister and serv.
| ed for many years in State missionary
| work. He died in Waco in 1919.
/ Believes i'm Valley
He was led to make application fol
| the Rio Grande farm through his be
| lief that there are potentialities o.
productions there which have not beei
! developed and he hopes to achieve some
/ thing beyond that which has been here
tofore demonstrated. He also believes
that his opportunities for self servic'
may be greater in the new country.
The farm was offered to q graduat
of A. & NJ by the American Rio Grand
Land and Irrigation Co., because the.
believed an expert farmer using scien
tific methods would prove an exampl
and. inspiration to other land owners il
that district and finally result in
1 more prosperous community. Mr.. Sea

the city to bury with Confucian
ceremonies several of their con-
federates who fell in the riots.
After the funeral service, student
speakers in the Chinese section sounded
changed note. They urged the throngs
to avoid clashes with foreign defenders,
pointing out the folly Of inviting GER
tain death by attacking empty handed,
armed foreigners.
AS an alternative, the speakers
counseled united action in. spreading
the strike and ceasing intercourse with
foreigners and blocking the delivery OF
food supplies of every character. there
by driving out their opponents.
Efforts to extend the strike have been
excellently systematied and considerable
cash has been expended every foreign
employed Chinese is being circularized
and canvassd to strike. Where possible
pressure has been brought by threats
involving families. Rain began falling
late today.

corps today took precautions to pre-
vent a recurrence of sniper fire which
