THE FIRST MOVE,
The first move toward build-
ing a dam on the Nueces below
town, which has been discussed
in these columns, was made
Tuesday night when three
fourths of the land owners af-
fected met at the Record office
and discussed the matter from
every angle. The matter of or-
ganizing and irrigation district
was discussed fully.
The meeting Tuesday night
was an informal affair and a
committee of two was appointed
to obtain information on differ-
ent matters, and as soon as the
onion harvest is finished it is
planned to have another meet-
ing when the matter will be
gone into more fully. Arrange-
ments were made to have an
engineer to take some levels
to determine th« height of a
to the too u t TJP Ubovethe Cohe-
nour dam. This work will be
done at once and also an esti- .. ...
mate made by the engineer on V ticks, gives
the approximate cost of sucp - f°1,0^ng information which
dam. At the next ^eting w,|l be of interest to stockmen:
those interested have in-! Sports rece.ved at this of-
and those who, seeing the wide-
spread damage wrought by the
liquor traffic, welcomed prohibi-
tion as the only solution offered
The fact that only Connecticut
and Rhode Island have failed to
ratify the amendment, despite
the frequent assertion that
many legislatures were “salooh-
controlled,” fairly shows the ex-
tent of prohibition sentiment.
The wets are naturally eager
to point to the alleged failure of
prohibition, and many of the
more easily discouraged drys
are inclined to follow suit. How-
ever, although liquor-runners,
bootleggers, moonshiners and
home-brewers render no state-
ments as to their output, and
exact statistics are therefore
not available, it may be fairly
assumed that the liquor traffic
today is far less than in the
“good old days," when almost
every town of any size had its
brewery, and distilleries were
operated on a huge scale.
Home-brew, to a casual ob-
server. is already “petering out"
—the effort is too great for the
reward, and the novelty of cir-
cumventing Uncle Sam has lost
its tang. Moonshining and li-
quor-running are still profitable
to many, but the etfo ts of en-
forcement officers, coupled with
falling prices through overcom-
petition and reduced demand
through fear of poisonous concoc- “ slue l,UH non ,>f
