i LOWER MISSISSIPPI
FACE LONG SIEGE
MEMPHIS, March 23—(.P*—The
lower Mississippi valley faces pros
pects of a long fight against high
j water. •
Heavy rains along the upper Ten
• nessee and Cumberland rivers sent
; them and their tributaries far above
flood stage. W. E. Barron, meteor
. ologist at Cairo, 111., said today he
1, could not tell just what effect these
rises would have on the Cairo
f gauge, but he believed they would
i prolong high stages of the Mississip
T »pi between Cairo and New Madrid, l
{Mo.
» "The levees are holding and that’s
A about all," said Patrolmen along the j
A sodden banks of the raging Missis
W. sippi today.
With the 20.000 acres of farm
* land in the Indian grave drainage
«district covered with the overflow'
as a result of twTo levee breaks,
< concern was felt for the region
on the other side of this city. Tho '
' i dykes surrounding the South
Quincy gardens were weakening
« and there was considerable seepage
' of flood water.

,j **The Valley has a charm almost
IJ irresistible,’' was the comment of
*" Mrs. Hal Gaylord, who has been |
J 1 here the past three w’eeks from j
' Kansas City visiting her son. Philip
I* * E., and who will leave for Kansas
L City Sunday night.
I) Mrs. Gaylord visited the Valley
|five years ago, spending some time j
' at the home of her brother-in
i law. Colonel Rice, then commander
at Fort Brown.
5* “It does not seem possible that !
J 4 any city or section could develop
'j so rapidly as Brownsville and the
rt Valley have in five years.” Mrs.
/ Gaylord said. “The growth has
A been marvelous, an i I find Browns
ville one of the most metropolitan
centers in the South.”
Mrs. Gaylord stated she expected
to return to Brownsville next win
ter and may spend the entire win
ter here.

Meanwhile rebels at Jimenez with
their main army declared 300 fed
jeral infantrymen had been routed
at Colorado, state of Zacatecas,
j south of Torreon, in the rear of
the Calles army.
Federal troops were moving into
three fields of action against the
rebellion, north against Escobar's
main army at Jimenz or Chihua
hua City, west to relieve Mazatlan,
and south against what the gov
j eminent described as "fanaticos,”
a term to designate so-called Cath
olic rebels.
Five thousand cavalrymen from
Torreon are participating in this
new expedition. They were *sent
by General Calles’ orders into the
states of Guanajuato and Jalisco,
where the “fanaticos” have been
active for several years.
General Calles announced that
General Almazan was preparing an
overland advance against Escobar
forces at Jimenez which have
wrecked about 100 miles of rail
way tracks between Torreon and
Chihuahua City. Trucks and au
tomobiles commandeered at Torreon

pared for an attack at Eermejillo,
only 30 miles north of the city.
Revolutionary movements in the
zone embracing Coahuiia, Durango
and Zacatecas, as described in re
ports from the insurgent com
manders here, indicated a process
of wedging in the Calles army in
the vicinity of Torreon, to be
coupled with a rebel advance from
the south or the west coast.
A report received by courier at
rebel headquarters from Col. Juan
Villegas Fernandez at the Jimenes
base declared that the insurgent
forces had encountered a federal
command in Colorado. Zacatecas,
approximately 150 miles to the
south from the Caiiista base of
operations in Torrecn. The rebel
attack dispersed 300 federal in
fantrymen and an uprising in the
city timed with the insurgent ad
vance caused 300 others to flee to
the mountains. Fernandez reported.
The report detailed a campaign
by the rebels south of Colorado
where 1.000 revolutionists were
i hindering federal troon move
■ ments by destruction of railroad
lines and bridges.
Gen. Jose Gonzalo Escobar, the
revolutionary commander-in-chief,

’Photos of Valley
Displayed By S. P.
In Large Offices
— ■■ ■
Enlarged tinted pictures of Val
ley scenes are being displayed in
principal ticket offices of the Sou
thern Pacific lines over the coun
try. according to John T. Monroe,
assistant traffic manager. These
photographs are attracting wide at
tention and comment wherever they
are shown, Monroe says.
Especially constructed racks have
been supplied the offices where the
Valley pictures are on display so
that they may be brought force
fully to the attention of the pub
; lie. The scenes are of citrus or
! chards. truck farms, highways and
other things of interest in the low
er Rio Grande Valley.
Among the scenes is one of an
orchard showing grapefruit on the
trees and in boxes awaiting deliv
ery. This picture is said to have
aroused wide comment over the
country, especially in the north and
east.
“We have these pictures on dis
play,” Monroe said “hoping through
them to attract the attention of the
public to the beauty of the Lower
Rio Grande Valley, and bring this
section of the state more to the
public eye.
The Southern Pacific believes the
Valley to be one of the most beau
tiful sections of the country and
we are trying to impress this
thought on the minds of the people
who travel.”
The most dependable sign of
spring, according to old timers of
Norfolk, Va., is when prices on
strawberries and shad roe are re
duced.
