(S|M*<-ial to The Herald.)
Mi"ion Texas Nov. 11.—Considerable
interest was manifested hist night at the
meeting of the officer* and mcmlw-r- of
the Gravity Irrigation Association of the
Lower Hio Grande Vallrv in the eonelud-
i mg paragraphs of a report submitted to
the United State* coimni-*ion for the
equitable distribution of the water* of the
Rio Grande by \V. \V. Follett consulting
engineer for the com mi*-ion. This report
wn« made by Kngineer Follett about three
year* ago and portion* referring par-
ticularly to the Lower Valley’s irrigation
problem were sent to Secretary S. A.
Pipe* of the irrigation association by
John \Y. Gaines head of the commission
without solicitation.
This report in conclusion say*:
“Hlnle tin* report cover* the whole of
the Lower Rio Grande helow Fort tjuit-
inan the important part i' the lower river
below Rio Grande City. Here the develop-
ment ha* just begun in tact can hardly
be said t«» In- w»-|| -tarted on the Mexican
-ide. There i- more land on each side then
can ever In- served (without the conserva-
tion of the flood water-.) Tlii- report
lias been directed principally to the peren-
nial irrigation as only that cxi-t- now.
I There may come a time when the flood
waters will In- diverted and stored in the
soil following the method* of ‘dry farm-
ing’ and. in this way the productive area
may In- greatly increased. Tin- i- how-
ever a matter far in the future.
“It i- common belief that two large
gravity canal* one on each side prefer-
ably with their heading- at a common dam
where full governmental control of the
water- could In- had. could In* built and
all the systems -upplied -o di-pen sing
with the pumping plant- along the river.
Survey- have Inch made on the American
side with tin- in view.
“It i- phy-ieally po—ibk- to build *uch
canals. In fact the Sautena canal can
serve the Mexicali side quite well. The
pumping plant* are very ex|iensve to mam*
tain. Some of the tir*t one* built have
cheap machinery which i> fast wearing
out. Two-third* of them are either suf-
fering from encroachment of the river or
are in In-nds which may In- cut off. or both.
Hie gravity canal i~ worth considering
although I am not prepared to -ay that it
i- the la*-t solution ot the problem. If one
is put in it should head near Rio Grande
City so as to serve all of the lands now
under water.”
Secretary Pipe- read a letter from Sena-
tor Morris Sheppard in which the latter
advi-cd him of document* appearing in
the Congrc**ionul Record with reference
to the waters of the Rio Grande and stat-
ing that it Secretary Pipe- will turni'li
him a li-t ot names ot Lower Rio Grande
Valley resident* up to 3000 he would
mail each a copy. Secretary f’i|>es will
! undertake tin- at once.
Organization is Outlined.
The Irrigation association outlined plans
and purposes ot its organization agreed
upon them and reduced tlie entire to writ-
ing. They will at once lie printed in
pamphlet form copies of which will I**
di-tributcd among the people ot the Val-
ley. probably witlun the next few days.
I'laiis were outlined also lor liimncing the
organization.
Senator Sheppard in a postscript im-
pressed up>*n Secretary t'i|ies the import-
a nee ot taking up the gravity irrigation
proposition at once and preparing to pre-
sent argument to the board at Washington
0. t'.. while it is m session early m l)c-
reudicr.
A large crowd was present at the meet-
ing. and among those present were Colont"

ot tin* Hmwnsvillc auxiliary and It. A.

FORMATION OF
CORPORATIONS
ON INCREASE
(Hy Associated I'rcH*.)
Au-tin Texas Nov. 11.—According to
| Judge D. A. Gregg chief clerk and acting
1-ecivtary of state the temporary -lump in
the formation of new corporations in Tex-
as ha- passed. Sim-e the outbreak of the
Kuro|s-nn war the number of new charter-
filed have -teadily decrea-ed until the last
! week or two when business having read-
justed it-elf to a certain extent. Judge
Gregg -ay- the usual number of charters
are being filed. Thc-c new corporation*
however do not include a single state
bank. Judge Gregg attribute- tin- i- not
altogether due to the war but to the new-
federal banking system which excludes
from that system hanks with less than
♦’J5JMMI capital.
EUROPE'S WAR BILL
$40000000 DAILY;
OFFICIAL FIGURES
(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
Pari- Nov. 9.—The war bill winch Eu-
rope is meeting daily i> figured up as fol-
low- :
Kus-ia $14000000; Germany $7225-
000; France. $7000000; England $50OOf.
OOO; Austrian $4000000; various $.3-
000000; total $4t 1225.000.
The French appropriation i- from of-
ficials figures as announced bv M. Ribot
minister of finance; the Engli-h estimate
by the London Statist; the German total
from “an authoritative source” in a Geneva
paper; and the other sum* from variouft
con-ervative estimates which have np-
pearcd m one place or another. The item
“various” represents the probable ex-
1 pen-e to which Serna Belgium and the
neutral countries of Switzerland Italy
Koutnainia. Turkey Greece. Holland and
Denmark have been put.
The vast total d«ie- not include the de-
struction of property where fighting is
taking place nor the well nigh incalcul-
able losses to Europe of 20000000 men
under arms lieing taken from production.
There is no indication in France that ex-
haustion has set in but it i- evident that
*he accumulated treasure of even the rich-
est country on the continent j- lieing
poured out at a rate that add- $200000000
a month to the national debt.
