Governor Allred pointed out that
an industrial survey of Texas, with
particular reference to getting men
and women off public relief rolls into
gainful private occupation, had been
recommended by the Democratic
Party in its convention last Sep-
tember.
“Inauguration of the Texas In-
dustrial Survey,” the Governor said,
“with Dudley P. South as director,

A. B. Kelley, Superintendent of
the road, “camped” here in his pri-
vate car for three days before the
rise hit, and directed the protective
work, which consisted of tying down
about a mile of track with iron
stakes and wire and using 8,000
sacks of crushed rock placed along
the dump to keep it from washing.
20 carloads of rock ballast was used.
Other officials of the road who
were here during the flood days were
L. A. Davis, assistant general man-
ager, F. H. Cook, chief engineer, A.
F. Judd, assistant superintendent, S.
Yarbrough, trainmaster.
It was estimated that this protec-
tive work cost about $2500 and it
unquestionably saved thousands of
dollars damage that would have
otherwise resulted. Without the pro-
tection o the mile of track that was
submerged to a depth of five feet
and three inches in the lowest place,
the greater part of it would have
washed out. As it was ballast was
washed from under only about 200
feet. Here the track was swung out
of line about three feet and left
swinging. On the second day after
the water began receding and as
soon as it was off this particular
section, a train load of gravel that
was standing on the siding waiting,
was backed in and in a very few
hours this place repaired. The
work train was then backed over the
entire area affected by the flood,
and it was determined that it was
safe to admit passage of the pas-
senger ti&in that night. The North
haunch train crossed running through
gO inches of water in the lowest ^
place. Traffic was tied up from
Monday at 5 p. m. until Wednesday
midnight, which was a very short
| time considering the size of the
f flood and the ehormous damage
done to railroad bridges and track
Northwest of Cotulla. Traffic was
resumed by the railroad much quick-
er than by the highway, and service
to the public was uppermost in the
i minds of the officials. Trains were
operated between Cotulla and San
| Antonio daily, and also between La-
| redo and Artesia Wells. Only
through traffic was briefly halted.
REMEMBRANCES
An -old childhood toy the other day
Carried my memory wandering back ,
To when I was young, carefree and
gay,
And the sands of life I had hardly
tracked.
It called to mind old familiar scenes
Old boyhood friends and play,
The passing years so fleeting seems
Like it was only yesterday.
The pictures march in Hear review J
Like soldiers on dress parade,
While father time it is all too true
Is the traitor and renegade.
But alas! those days are gone for-’
ever,
In fond memory only uan they last,
But one tie old age can never sever
Is recollections of the past.
The happy days beyond recall
Make me ponder and regret,
There’s one childhood only for us all
That like the rising sun must set.
—E. S. AVANT,
Millett, Texas.
