SEASON
OPENS MONDAY
Hunters Are Making Ready
To Slaughter White
Wings of Valley

The fame Of white wing hunting,
which i enjoyed by American
sportsmen only in the Valley sec
ton, has travelled north. and ;ndi-
cations are that a record crowd Of
hunters will take to the field Friday
morning when the aso opens.
The white wing is a semi-tropical
bird and IS found in the United
States onl in the Rio Grande VAL
lev section. It has long been one
Of the prize game birds Of this sec
ton.
Railroads report that numerous
upstate hunters plan to be here
on the morning Of Aug1-t 3 for the
opening OF the season. Sporting
goods houses report that local
Sportsmen have been preparing for
the opening Of the season also, pur-
chasing arms and ammunition.
Hunters state that the white wings
are not a. numerous this season as
they have been in the past. How
ever, they feel that ar influx OF Dir as
will come into this section from
Mexico in the immediate future. No
reason is assigned TO the apparent
scarcity of the birds.

FORCES
CLEANING OUT
WATER PLANT
Deep Mud Is Found
In Filtration
Basins

The Brownsville city commission
has started work OF cleaning the
filtration plant and workmen are
finding more Of a job than they
at first anticipated.
When the work was opened 1t
was found that the twelve-floot
watts contained about eight feet Of
mud. and today men are wading
around in it, shoveling and bailing
ii out by the spade and bucketfull.
The city commissioners are now
having laid a line TO the new bed
Of the river from this plant and
are installing a pumping station
to force the water over the added
distance since the river changed
its course some weeks ago.
Those closely connected with the
work declare that when the new
water line is completed and filtra-
ton facilities added to meet tie
needs OF Brownsville the present
water emergency will be solved.
At present the water is lifted
TO large settling basins then run
through the filtration plant and
out into other big basins and from
there sent into the city mains. II
is held that IL is the small filtra-
ton plant which is unable to meet
the needs Of the city. The water
flowing through the filtering plant
has been temporarily cut off until
the work OF cleaning can be COM
pleted.
It is said that the small time
allowed for chemical treatment
and the mud found in the watts
has been the cause of the recent
bad taste OF the water. The chem
icals we're poured in the water 10
purify 1t but time enough could
not be allowed for precipitation,
and caused the water to taste.
While the work OF cleaning IS
in progress Brownsville people are
advised TO boil their water. and
by leaving II standing in a con
tainer Objectionable taste is said
to disappear.
Citizens Of Brownsville are ".
vited 10 see for themselves the
work being done and the apparent
necessity for added facilities.
