RE-SURVEY OF

Major Schley Starts In
spection; to Make Re-
concentrations

A complete re-survey Of the port
project at Point Isabel will be made by
Major J. l.. Schley, district army en-
gineer, with headquarters at Galveston,
and his assistants, who are now at Point
Isabel starting the work.
Major Schley announced his intention
Of making thorough re-survey, i'm
cluding complete soundings Of the bar
which it is proposed to dredge through
for the outer channel, and will make
recommendations to the chief Of army
engineers, General Harry Taylor, as to
the best method of dredging the channel.
Money for this work was appropriated
some time ago, and has been available
for several years, although the work has
been held up on belief that dredges
which are commonly used for such work
could not operate over the Brazos bar
because the water was too shallow, be-
ing only seven or eight feet deep.
Major Schley and his assistants are
looking over the situation today with
Captain Wallace Reed Of the U. S. Coast
Guard station at Point Isabel, and are
making soundings of the bar.
Major Schley would make no state
ment as to his opinion concerning the
best method of dredging the outer chan
mel, but said that he would make recon-
mendations following the re-survey, and
that action would probably be taken on
these recommendations.

Sheep Prices to Drop,
u. S. Report Indicates
(By the Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, D. G., Aug. 20.-The
sheep industry apparently is just ap-
preaching the end Of period Of high
prices, the department Of agriculture
declared today in an outlook report on
lambs for the remainder Of the year, but
possibly lower prices for spring lambs
in 1926 are to. be expected, while the out
look for WOOL, it was added, was uncer-
tain with lower prices probable next
year unless increased demand develops.
Should the number of breeding ewes
and lamb production be further in
creased as now seems likely, it would
result in an increased production Of
wool in this country" the department
continued. The recovery of wool
prices from the post war depression is
stimulating foreign countries also to in
crease production.
