Beasts Come From Jungle
On Roadt Through
East Africa
NAIROBI. East Africa. Nov. 30—
W)—Herds of gentle and playful
lions have been making life inter-
esting on the roads leading to Nair-
obi.
The beasts come from the jung-
le and on several occasions have
sauntered along the main highway
only 15 miles from the city. They
have done no damage contenting
themselves with gamboling on the
nice asphalt pavement.
Sightseers have gone to the leon-
ine playground in automobiles
snapped pictures of the beasts and
watched their antics.
A group of natives attempted to
do a little hunting with spears
but soon found themselves stir-
rounded by lioris. Several Europeans
in cars at the side of the road saw
the difficulty and drove directly
into the center of the ring. The
lions scattered and the natives ran
to safety.
CANAL DIGGING
PRECEDENTSET
Setting a precedent of construct-
ing irrigation canals on top of anc!
alongside floodway levees the Aca-
cia Irrigation com any was grant-
ed permission to build a 6200 foot
canal to the Acacia Gardens by the
county commissioner's court Satur-
day.
This is a precedent that is ex-
pected to be followed frequently in
the future by irrigation concerns.
The permission was granted sub-
jected to the approval of the coun-
ty engineer.
Following the hearing Judge O.
C. Dancy declared: "I wish every
levee in the county had a canal on
top of it. It solidifies the levee and
assures that it will not crack.”
The Acacia canal to be concrete
lined is located southeast of
Brownsville. Plans for its construc-
tion was drawn by A. E. Anderson
and tentatively approved by W. O.
Washington county engineer.
Construction is expected to get
under way in the near future.
The commissioners' court wUl
meet again Wednesday for the pur-
pose of considering tick eradication.
Judge Dancy is strongly in favor
of taking steps in this direction.
This region has long been restrain-
ed by the presence of thick fever
among the cattle It is said. The
old native stock becomes somewhat
immune to the fever but nearly
all imported cattle succumb to the
disease.
