Unlike Aberammergau. the play is
given in an enclosed theatre with the
usual lighting and Bcenic effects. The
Selzach production differs also in
that it combines the spoken drama
with oratorio and tableaux. The play
is on more of a commercial basis than
the more famous German one and
the village plans the erection of a

success.

Pecan Bayou Jim . "
Ned Basins Are Being
Thoroughly Surveyed
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) -
also the entire pecan valley areabe-
low the point where it is proposetl'-to
build the dam on down the valley to
where the Pecan Bayou valley de-
bouches into the Colorado river val-
ley. A thorough topographic survqy
is being made as stated of the locali
ties indicated. The survey on the Jim
Ned and Pecan Bayou above the pro-
posed damsite Is being made for the
purpose of ascertaining the approx-
imate area in square miles and acres
of the basin of each of these streams
and. when the project is made on these
calculations the federal government
will know and the state government
will know just how much water can
b impounded and just where it will
be located with depth and other mat-
ters of valuable information In con-
nection with the building of the dain".
The volume of water Impounded vjfll
be known and having fixed these fact3
the next thing is
What Are; Can Be Irrigated?'
The answer to this important ques-
tion will be the topographical report
novt being made by Engineer Goodlove
and his assistants in the valley of Pe-
can Bayou as stated below the pro-
posed dam site to the valley of tie
Colorado river. Every slope is being
surveyed and every particle of water
that falls in the watershed is taken
into account as well as the volume lof
water impounded by the great dam.
It is roughly estimated that something
like 50000 acres of land will be found
subject to first class irrigation when
the report is turned in. With these
facts and figures well prepared. Engi-
neer Goodlove and his assistants will
make two reports one to the state
-department at Austin and one to the
United States Geological Survey at
Washington. These reports will then
be- taken into consideration and the
legislature of Texas and the Congress
of the United States will in due time
take such action as may be deemed
necessary under the circumstances!?
No Local Election Kequiredi'
It was stated some time ago thatMri
order to put this big industrial enfer-
priae over it would be neceSsary'after
the reports were made if they'.were
of favorable nature to create anT Irri-
gation and conservation districfand
follow this up with ah election tode-
cide whether bonds to the respired
amount should be issued. It"f3 now-
stated by those in position to-" know
that neither of these methods or plains
will be necessary but instead 'the fed-
eral and state governments through
the legislature and congress alter
hearing the report together witbvar-
ious other reports and projects of like
kind now under way will take care
of the entire project by necessary
appropriation and that the Brown-
wood project as it is called will tie
built by federal and state appropriaV
tions. if built at all as was the case
of the Roosevelt Dam. This would
seem to make the task easier and
therefore the matter will at the proper
time be placed before the proper leg-
islative officials. By and by no doubt
when the West Texas Chamber of Com-
merce convention is held and Brown-
wood once again given national and
state publicity the matter of taking
hold of a working plan to handle the
big dam proposition will be taken "up
by the Chamber of Commerce backed
by the progressive citizens of Brown-
wood and tangible as well as practical
plans formed to achieve the building
of the dam. It is probable that mem-
bers of the legislature will he "Invited
here and taken out to the place and
it is also very probable that more than
one member of congress will be Invit-"
ed to come here and will be taken out
to the place and that United States
senators may be invited to come here
and take a look at the place. In fact
the possibilities and potentialities' of
the proposition are so big and admit
of so many features worth while it is
out of the question to attempt to re-
hearse them all at this time.
