The report of the meeting at
Wharton in the interest of flood
control on the Colorado river, as
published in the Houston Chron-
icle of June 15, states that a- tele-
graphic. item from Washington
.-.‘as read at that meeting to the
effect that the chief of engineers ting as board of equalization at
had made a favorable report upon] Angleton, completed their work
the bill irtroduced by Mr. Con-j this week and the tax rolls are
nally for survey of the Brazos now1 being prepared.
The total valuation i

GREATEST UNDERWATER
FIGHT EVER SEEN
BY AN AUDIENCE
On the 4th one of the most
thrilling pictures ever shown in
Alvin will be presented at the
Grand Theatre, featuring Tom
Mix in “Up and Going.” It is a
picture truly remarkable in spirit-
ed action, extraordinary scenic
beauty and tremendous climax.
It shows Tom Mix at his best
throughout. It shows him not!
only as a daring and wonderfully I
skilled horseman and rough and I
ready fighter in a r ghteous cause, I
but as a canoeist who is an expert
of the first rank.
“Up and Going” is great and
thrilling entertainment: but the
fight under water—a fight for life

approached in its startling qttal-l

Mr. Connally and myself are mu-

For general information, I will
say that the hearings upon these
bills before the committee on
flood control will be commenced
early in the month of July. We
are hopeful of obtaining favor-
able report from the committee
upon both the Colorado and Bra-
zos, and we have reasonable as-
surance that the republican steer-
