tens of thousands of others across Tex-

week after Hurricane Harvey hit the
shore, the first step in figuring out how
and whether to rebuild was this: open-

HOUSTON - Officials in Houston
sought Friday to safeguard parts of their
devastated city by keeping others flood-

tained enough rain-making power to
raise the risk of flooding in the middle of
the country a w7eek after it slammed in-
to Texas.
The mayor announced that ongoing
releases of water from two reservoirs
could keep thousands of homes flooded

By Matea Gold

Donald Trump Jr. is being paid
$100,000 to participate in a University of
North Texas speaking series sponsored by
the company of a major Republican donor
— a fee that is as much as
double what President
Donald Trump’s eldest
son appeared to have
sought on the lecture cir-
cuit before this year.
In July, Trump Jr.
signed a contract with
UNT agreeing to give a frump Jr.
half-hour speech and
participate in a 30-minute question-and-
answer session in October in exchange for
a $100,000 stipend, according to docu-
ments first obtained by the North Texas
Daily, the student newspaper. The uni-
versity provided a copy of the contract to
The Washington Post.
Trump Jr. was invited by organizers of
the UNT Kuehne Speaker Series, whose
top sponsor this year is a corporate tax ser-
vices firm headed by G. Brint Ryan, a UNT
alumnus and a well-connected GOP donor
in Dallas who advised President Trump on
tax policy during the campaign. Ryan is
chairman of the UNT Board of Regents.

Gas woes should ease
NATIONAL
production this weekend, after some pipe-
lines and refineries in Gulf Coast area
went offline because of Hurricane Harvey.
With pipelines bringing product back
to the North Texas region, it will help with
the distribution problems gas stations cur-
rently face. Experts say the problem now is
in the supply chain, not the actual supply.
Mike Thombrugh, a spokesman for Quik-
Trip, said the company is getting enough
gas, but was delivering to only two loca-
tions in Denton as of Friday because of the
transportation issues.
‘We have supply, wre know7 w7e are get-
ting supply, but w7hat you’re running into
is now the logistics, where unfortunately
it’s taking the transport carriers much Ion-
Companies: Problem
lies in distribution,
not in fuel supply
ger to get product and bring it back to
stores,” he said.
The QuikTrip locations at 3300 E.
University Drive and 3113 W. University
Drive are priorities for the company, he
said. In the coming days, company officials
hope other stores in the area will be able to
sell gas because “key” pipelines are resum-
ing operation.
“Tins will provide more supply to Dal-
las-Fort Worth, and our plans are to sup-
ply additional stores with fuel on a daily
basis and we hope to have all stores sup-
plied in the near future,” Thornbrugh said.

chanted, ‘When immigrants rights are
under attack, what do w7e do? Stand up,
fight back,” as they met near the southeast
corner of the historic Courthouse on the
Square.
The event was billed as a protest of
state Senate Bill 4, the so-called “anti-
sanctuary city” bill, which also affects uni-
versities. A federal judge blocked its en-
forcement before it went into effect this
