Valley Engineers Ask
u. S., Mexico Coop
Grafton to Get Pictures
of Rio Grande on Rise

Members of the Valley chapter of the
American Association of engineers will
seek cooperation of United States and
Mexico officials in order to have a
number of airplane photographs of the
Rio Grande and adjoining territory TAX
en- during the next flood stage of the

with the extensive work of securing
aerial photographs of the flood con-
troll area for use in the Valley flood
centrol work, spoke on this subject.
He showed some photographs taken
from airplanes, and explained how this
work is done. His talk proved un-
usually interesting.
He was followed by S. P. Floor, state
reclamation engineer, who is at present
working on topographic maps to be used
in flood control work. Mr.. Floor ex-
planned how the aerial maps are used
IN making the topographic maps, giving
illustrations from some of the work
which has been done in the Valley, and
is being done at the present time.
A general discussion of this subject
followed, in which many angles of topo-
graphic map making were discussed by
the engineers. The resolution to Sc
cure cooperation in having aerial photo
graphs taken of the Rio Grande on a
yrise was introduced and passed. 1t
was explained that such photographs
may prove of great value in flood con-
troll work to be carried out in the Valley.
All new officers of the chapter were
installed w. E. Anderson, retiring
president, turned the chair over to c. S.
Hobbs. Other new officers are George
H. Commons Of Mercedes, secretary,

FRENCH, RIFFIANS
STRENGTHEN FORCES
(By The Associated Press.)

PARIS, May 9.-Both French colonial
forces and the native tribesmen in
Morocco are being reinforced in the
region of the Riff during what is de
clared as a comparatively calm period
in the operations, despite news from
Rabat today that a French blockhouse
near Aloulay had been destroyed b;
Riffian artillery.
1t is stated here that AbdEEKrim
seems to have halted his forces and the
opinion of military experts is that the
Moroccan leader wanted to see what ef-
feet had been produced by his success
in attacking the French outposts before
making another serious effort.
Marshal Lyautey, who since 1914 con-
stantly has demanded more troops for
Morocco in anticipation of trouble sucn
as has broken out lin the Riff now is
hurrying up fresh units to carry out his
plan for cleaning the tribesmen out Of
the French zone.
The marshal has the hearty support
of the French government.
