provement of the Colorado river of 

 Texas is increasing. A score or 

 more of men between Austin and the 

 mouth of the river are getting busy 

 procuring the necessary data to pre- 

 sent to the state legislature. 



Prof. T. U. Taylor, dean of the de- 

 partment of engineering in the Uni- 

 versity of Texas, who has done a 

 great deal of work for the United 

 States government along the Colo- 

 rado, and who is perhaps more fa- 

 miliar with the conditions than any 

 other man, says. 



"The Colorado river is divided into 

 three sections that need improvement, 

 as follows: 



"1. The canyon section from Austin 

 to San Saba. Impounding dams can 

 be constructed that will store the 

 flood waters and would equalize the 

 flow. This would save the rice crop 



in the coast section and render a mag- 

 nificent result for power purposes. 



"2. Irrigation from the Colorado is 

 now a doubtful proposition on ac- 

 count of the spasmodic and irregular 

 flow of the Colorado. This can all be 

 overcome by holding back the flood 

 waters that now go to waste. 



"3. The cleaning of the river chan- 

 nel in the lower section will be a pro- 

 tective feature that will enable the 

 flood waters that do escape to be con- 

 trolled and will eliminate the damage 

 inflicted thereby." 



Bondholders of the San Benito irri- 

 gation system are considering the 

 proposition made by the farmers of 

 the San Benito tract to purchase the 

 system and make it a communal en- 

 terprise. The farmers made an offer 

 of $300,000 for the canal and plant as
