Bell County May 1
Be a Center for
Flood Reservoirs
FLOOD CONTROL P R O J E C TS
WOULD MEA5 BIG IMPOUND-
JXG DAMS HERE.
If the Brazos valley flood reclama-
tion work succeeds, there will be a
mad scramble in this section of cen-
tral Texas for the large number of
impounding dams which will be neces-
sary and which would logically be
built in various parts of Bell county,
A- T>. Jackson, secretary of the Brazos
Klver Reclamation association, told
the Lions club luncheon yesterday at
noon at the Martin hotel.
Col. P. L. Downs was toastmaster
and has ns his guests, In addition to
the speaker, Mr. Jackson of College
Station, County Judge J. W. Sutton
and County Commissioners W. P. Den-
man, H. II. Ray and Joe Sprott. Judge
Sutton, in a few remarks at the close
of Mr. Jackson's talk said that the
commissioners had gone over the
flood reclamation plans with Mr. Jack-
son in detail and that they should not
be "taken lightly as the floods In Bell
county last year cost the county more
than a million dollars."
"There is no more serious problem
confronting us today than the mutter
of the proper control of the water
supply," said Mr. Downs. "We are
face to face with the problem of de-
vastating floods, the greatest question
in lnnd conditions."
Mr. Jackson declared that the ques-
tion of flood reclamation is admitted
by all as an important one and that
the biggest problem of the association
organized this year is to keep from
being flooded with ideas as to now to
best control the flood waters. There
is at this time no co-ordinated ,sur-
vey of the Brazos river valley, though
there are enough small surveys that
have been patched together to get an
idea of what can be done, he said.
"From these patched up surveys,
we believe that the most feasible plan
is a series of impounding dams at the
headwaters of the Brazos which will
release the water gradually. No
stream is large enough to carry off
the big flood waters within S6 hours
but impounding dams would not only
protect the Brazos valley from over-
flow but would store up water for Ir-
rigation purposes up along the tribu-
tary streams. There are 3,000,000
acres annually overflowed by the
Urazos and there are 2,000,000 acres
more that would be benefited by the
Irrigation possibilities. If there is
stilt something lacking after this is
done, then maybe a series of 1>
Itvees would be needed.
"We believe that the survey will
show that an expenditure of less than
150,000,000 would take care of the sit-
uation and the 5,000,000 acres would
benefit at least $10 an acre. Any of
the land owners would pay this $10
if he were assured of actual and per-
manent benefit. These 5,000,000
acres are now paying taxes at a rate
of only a twth of what they would
be paying If flood waters were actually
controlled. And, if the state can ex-
pect a tenfold Income from this Im-
provement it ought to help the peo-
ple. It will not hand this project out
on a silver platter and the debt would
be prorated against the land as that
is the best, the obvious and the legal
way to do it. But the government
owes it to the people to make an Im-
mediate Investigation and let us know
at once what can be done. We must
bring pressure to bear for an appro-
priation of $100,000 or $150,000 and
to provide for additional machinery
necessary to carry the project over.
To bring this pressure to bear, our
association Is lining up members,
counties, industries and railroads
which wouldprofit.
"What will it mean to Bell county?
Aside from the loss to choicest lands
from floods every year It .would mean
that this county would be the logical
location for a number of these water
reservoirs—the topography calls for
it. That means more prosperity here
because in the summer you can't keep
Americans away from deep blue water
holes and we would bring a centrali-
zation of tourists here.
"It would reduce the cost of build-
ing and maintaining your roads. Along
with the idea that it would make
roads less likely to be washed out
each year, the farmers must be edu-
cated not to run their rows up hill
and down hill but in profile so that
the water will take longer to get to
the streams and will be cleaner when
it gets there."
The Lions club adopted resolutions
of "deepest sympathy" upon the death
of Mrs. E. P. Hobbs, mother of Luke
Hobbs, a member of the club, and
spoke warm words of praise for the
life of the decedent, one of Temple's
oldest citizens.
W. W. Hair Is
Chosen as Special
Judge for Court
ACTION .NECESSARY BECAUSE OF
THE ILLNESS OF JUDGE
M. B. BLAIR.
Belton, Oct. 16.—W. W. Ilair of
Temple was elected special judge of
the Bell county district court at a
meeting of the bar here today. The
election was brought about on account
of the illness of Judge M. B. Blair,
who In all probability will not recover
in sufficient time to preside over th'e
court at all this term.
The election was held by ballot with
no lawyer being nominated. Five or
six ballots were cast before a majority
vote was received by Mr. Hair. He
was elected over his plea that he did
not want the place.
Judge W. O. Cox of Temple presided
at the meeting.
Two committees were appointed by
the chair to draw up resolutions of
respect to two departed members.
Judge J. H. Evetts and Judge John B.
Durrett, both of whom have died since
the last previous meeting of the bar.
M. M. White, Pat Paugherty and W.
W. Hair were appointed to draw up
the resolutions concerning the death
of Mr. Evetts and C. C. Countess, John
B. Daniel and Winbourne Pearce were
named to draw the resolutions cou-
cerning the death of Mr. Durrett.
The bar voted to raise the member-
ship fee to $7.50 per year and decided
to meet each appearance day of the
district court for a luncheon. These
luncheons will be held in Belton. The
committee to arrange for the first
luncheon includes J. B. Hubbard, A. L.
Curtis and Charlton Hall.
It was voted to re-organize the Bell
county bar and a re-organization com-
mittee consisting of Winbourne Pearce,
Edgar Monteith and Few Brewster
was named.
Sympathy for Judge Blair in his ill-
ness was expressed by the bar.

took a rap at the younfc people of to-
day who go automobile riding at night

at the meeting as it was learned be-
fore hand that the kiansmen were to

Tickets on Sale
for Big Concerts
Belton, Oct. 16.—Ticket reserva-
tions for the coming concerts to be
presented by the Belton club began
here this morning. The first concert
will be on the night of October 20
when the Chicago Operatic trio win
appear here. Madam Pavlocka Is a
member of the trio. When in her
teens Miss Pavloska became a member
of the Montreal Opera company. She
had had no lessons previously but with
her splendid natural voice and charm-
ing personality she had no trouble in
obtaining the position. It was done
she says simply to show her father
that she was worth sending to Eu-
rope to study. He, at first, was en-
tirely unsympathetic to liis young
daughter's yearnings after a career,
in fact, heartily disapproved.
Her success in Montreal was so
great that Edmond Clement, the dis-
tinguished French tenor who was also
a member of the company, engaged
Sliss Pavloska to appear with him in
a joint recital. This event became the
turning point, for her father finally
removed all objection and she was
sent to Tatis to study. Here plans
were being made for lier European
debut when rumors of war came. At
the time, Henry W. .Savage was over
looking for a prima donna for "Sari"
with Mitzl Hajos. He engaged Miss
Pavloska, brought her to America and
for five months she sang with that or-
ganization,
GRAND JURY IMPANELED
AND BEGINS ITS WORK.
Grass Fire Ends
in Bad Fire; Wire
Connections Lost
» :
Burning of grass in the back yard
of the home of Warren F. Merrit, 115
N. 6th St., spread to the barn, jump-
ed across the alley to the barn of Wll-
burn J. Mosley, 118 N. 8th St., and
ended in the destruction of three
barns, serious loss to another, th$
death of a milch cow by electrocution
and the destruction of wires and
cables furnishing telephones and lights
to residents on North Etxth and
Eighth streets, yesterday 'afternoon
shortly after 2 o'clock.
The long continued dry weather had
the several outhouses along the alley
where the disa trous fire occurred to
an easy kindling temperature and the
flames spread rapidly. Fire companies
had the blaze under control within a
few minutes after the alarm was turn-
ed in but the hot flames that were
leaping high into the air before the
alarm was sounded burned down tele-
phone and light cables. Fighting of
the flro was extremely hazardous be-
cause of the burning down of a high
voltage power wire, said to have car-
ried 2,300 volts of electricity. The
wires flashed and hummed in the cen-
ter of the conflagration for several
minutes before linemen were able to
cut off the circuit.
A milch cow belonging to Mrs. P.
A. Wood was found dead in the alley
after the tire was under cqntrol and
signs on the body indicated that it had
been electrocuted by falling wires.
The total loss, partly covered by in-
surance, was estimated at between
$1,500 and $2,000, aside feem the dam-
age to wires and cables.'The follow-
ing residences suffered loss to out-
houses and fences along the alley;
Warren F. Merrit; Annie L Halloran,
113 N. 6th; Wilburn J. Mosely; Albert
E. Stolz, 118 N. 8th.
As a result of the World War, 18-
296 children in Belgium became or-
