DAMAGE AT MEDINA
LAKE AND TO ROADS
LESS THAN REPORTED
Water Tuesday Is 10.77
Feet Above Previous
High Water Mark.
The loss of boats and property at
Medina Lake and the damage to the
toll road have been exaggerated said
William Furlong secretary of the Me-
dina Toll Road Company Wednesday
morning. He visited the lake Tuesday
returning late in the evening. The water
was then 10^7 fret above its previous
high water mark and was running five
feet deep over the spillway. His re-
perts Wednesday morning was that
the lake had risen several more feet
overnight with 7 1-2 feet passing over
the top of the spillway and the possibil-
ities of a continued rise in the water.
The lake is now 50 feet higher than it
was in .January. It is three or four
feet below the top of the dam.
William C. Church an attorney who
has a house three and n half miles above
the dam and who was on the lake during
the storm returned with his family to
San Antonio late Tuesday. He esti-
mated the damage nt $lOOO or $l5OO to
all property except boats that had been
swamped at their moorings.
“This includes the boats that were
swept over the spillway and destroyed”
ho said. “There were only a few. those
not of very expensive construction. The
Rascal and the Joy were salvaged. My
house was not under water as rejiorted.”
He and two negro men had a narrow
escape from drowning Sunday afternon.
when the storm began to grow intense.
Towing a barge loaded with baggage
in preparation for their return to the
city he and his men sot out at 3 o'clock
for the dam. They had not gone far.
however before the barge swamped and
part of the baggage was loft. After pro-
gressing about two miles the water got
so rough that they put In nt Red Cove
They were rescued by Fred ChristiHr*
and a man anmed Gray who works with
him.
“Christillcs and Gray rescued 20 or
30 other people who were marooned nt
different places about the lake” said
Mr. Church “and salvaged many motor-
IMints including the Rascal and the
Joy.”
Mr. Church said the principal losses
were experienced nt the Deneris cove.
Mr. Church said the Kokernot house
boat went over the spillway. He also
said that the houseboat being built on
the spill way by the Medina V’alley Irri-
gation Company had been broken up.
Both Mr. Church and Mr. Furlong
agreed that more boats were sunk than
went over the spillway most of these
swamping nt their moorings. Engines
in others were dislodged by pounding.
The pavilion at the dam was not in-
jured just escaping the high water. The
little bath house to the north was nbout
one-third submerged and there was fouv
or five feet of water in the Christilles
storehouse on the. wharf at Red Cove
a motor truck. Evinrude motors and
other supplies being submerged.

tional pride of the Mexican race was
never .more iu evidence than here yes-
teiday when all factions castes and

The proclamatiou of the “Grito” as

them as the reading of the Declaration
of Independence is to the Americans. As
Americans all stand under one banner
on the Fourth of July so al> Mexicans

A Simple Way to

Remember that wrinkles and bassinet*
of cheek vr chin are due to muscular
tissue losing its strenath and shrinking.
The akin is then too large In area to fit
such tissue smoothly. It wrinkles or sags.
To remedy this condition there's noth-

which of course smooths out the lines
ami draws in the sagging skin. It also
stimulates capillary circulation bringing
natural color to faded cheeks.
