A Variety of Views on the Subject of.
Stopping the Great Flood
Damage.
Calvert. Tex. The articles in ref-
crence to the overflows of the differ-
ent rivers have been road with a
great deal of Interest by tho Hrazos
bottom farmers of this community.
The overflow of the lirazos river has
destroyed thousands of acres of cot-
ion and corn I11 this country, and a
more serious proposition now faces
the farmers of Koberis-m and Hrazos
counties that own land south of Lnf-
kin, on the International & Great
Northern railroad. The Pig and Ut-
ile Hrazos rivers at this point are now
but a stone's throw apart, with noth-
ing separating them but a sandy
rldire. through which the lllg Brazos
Is rapiuly cutting. The Internationa!
& Great Northern Railroad Company
has spent thousands of dollars on dike
work in an effort to check the bin riv-
er, but lias given it up and has sur-
veyed a new right of way east of the
Little Hrazos.
Cnless ill" farmers give this their
immediate attention and interest the
govemmnt to assist ihem in some
manner, there will be thousands of
acres of Ihe b si lands iu Texas sub-
ject to overflow at every rise of the
Hrazos River.
