NAMED TO HELP
WAR VETERANS
Governor Appoints Man
From Clifford as Veterans
Service Commissioner

T. O. Kraabel Of Clifford. Trail

service commissioner for North Da-
kota.
In announcing the appointment,
Governor A. G. Sorlic said he had
picked the first name on the list Of
five submitted to him by the execu-
tive committee of the American
Legion.
The executive explained that his
choice was based on the probability

four nominees were not made public.

1t was through Williams efforts

although persistent, rumors to the
contrary persisted.
Recently the rumor was revived
when Williams sought an appoint

being that instead of merely seeking
an appointment to discuss Legion at-
fairs with the governor as was act
ually the case. he was seeking the
job of service commissioner.
Williams, here yesterday, said that
his office will cooperate with the ap-
pointee Of the governor, making avail
able to him all the records of the
state adjutant's office which may aid
him in thn work. 1t was said that
approximately so persons made ap-

CLEAN RIVER
FIGHT BEGUN
Fish Commission To
Take Battle To
Courts

FORT WORTH, Texas, oct.-R
Charges that an appalling situation
has developed along a large number
OF Texas rivers, a situation that can
IN many instances be aptly termed
filthy and dangerous to human as
well as wild life, were made here in
a statement by Judge j.. K. Smith,
Austin, who is in charge Of the anti
pollution campaign being conducted
by the State Fish, game and Oyster
Commission.
The statement was coupled with
an announcement that the cOmmisr
sion is determined to remedy this
situation in accordance with proyi-
sions or the state anti-pOllution law
which was passed several years ago,
amieably where possible. and
through the courts where necessary.
Describing the coalition along q
large number Of streams, Judge
Smith declared thrt refuse Of vari-
Gus kinds being discharged into the
rivers has killed fish, driven away
wild ducks and other binds, made
water unfit for irrigation and positi-
vely dangerous for cattle TO even
wade in.
Worse than the killing Of fish,
however, in this case is the fact
that conditions for propagation OF
fish are rendered almost impossible
in that most OF the plant life upon
which fish feed is destroyed.
although we do not find large
numbers Of dead fish, save after a
particularly heavy discharge of re-
fuse into the streams" said Judge
Smith. I'VE know what is going on,
for the fish are disappearing from
such rivers"
Most Of the stream pollution prob
lens have developed with the oil
industry in Texas, according to
Judge Smith, and practically every
section Of the state where there is
semblance of an oil field is affected.
There are other sources Of pollution,
however, arising in cities, he said.
Among the latter is the practice Of
certain industries Of dumping refuse
into streams instead of treating it
in a modern disposal plant, he
added. The city of Fort Worth is
said to- be an offender in that,
having outgrown its sewage dis
posal plant, part Of the city's sew
age is being turned into the Trinity.
Industrial development and the
practice Of dumping refuse into
streams is just beginning in Texas,
and what we see now is only a
starter compared with what we will
witness in the future unless some
thing is dene," said Judge Smith.
"In fairness to the farmer, stock
man, the sportsman and nature it
self, oil concerns, industries and
cities should avail themselves Of
modern methods of disposing OF
their refuse.
In line with the announced policy
of earring the fight on stream pol
luton to the sourts where necessary,
a second charge of polluting the
Trinity river and its tributaries was
filed here recently against officials
Of the Texas ard Pacific Coal and
Oil Company of Fort Worth, this
charge being the seventh Of its kind
filed here recently. First complaint
charged pollution by waste oil and
the second by dumping sulphuric
acid into the creek.
I'm previous filings, officials OF
four oil refineries near here and Of
the Mimic Packing Company and the
City Packing House were charged
with violating the anti-pollution
law.
