MARFA
Presidio County, Texas
Added Rains Bring
Needed Moisture for
Many Area Ranches
Rains every day from Sunday through Wednesday, dumped
a lot more needed moisture on much of Presidio and Jeff Davis
counties, crossing and recrossing some ranches, but missing
other areas entirely.
Sunday evening a storm came up from the south to sweep
north to the Davis mountains. In that shower the airport registered .73 of an inch, though Marfa got only .20 to .25 of an
inch. The rains went on north through Fort Davis and Limpia
canyon, with an inch being reported east of Fort Davis on the

CAA Station to Remain
Maria's Interstate Air Communications' station,-> which faced
the threat of being closed, will
be retained in operation, according to a wire received by The
Sentinel late yesterday from
Senator Lyndon B. Johnson.
The Marfa station was one of
those the federal administration
considered for closing up as an
economy measure, and such action would have cost Marfa several families.
No details were given in the
senator's wire, but it was ex-
pected to mean that operation of
the. station would go on at its
present scale. The wire read,
"Pleased to advise Civil Aeronautics Administration is going
to keep your Interstate Air Communications station. Regards."
When arguments were advanced from Marfa some time
ago for the retention of the station, it was pointed out that the
local station is the only one in
the Big Bend area and is particularly important in reporting
weather conditions building up
Epperson's Name
Ordered on Ballot
in this district. Apparently that
argument was given weight, although the reasons for the CAA
station retention were not stated.
Orders that the Air Communications station be retained here
gave a boost too, to hopes that
there would be no removal of
air service from the Marfa-Alpine airport. Renewal of franchise for this station and others
in West Texas by the Trans-Texas
airways is again under consideration by CAA and will come up
for hearing sc^n.

, Fritz Kahl reported Wednesday
that more than 3 inches of rain
had flooded his place, and the
ranches of Frank Jones and Gay
Howard, while rainfall! at the
Bloys campground was more
than 3.5 inches. Mrs. E. A. Mueller's place had 2.75 inches during
the afternoon and night and
showers were continuing all
through that area Wednesday afternoon. There was 3 inches at
the Johnny Fitzgerald place and
1.75 inches in Fort Davis.
Espy ranches also reported
heavy rains. Flood waters put
the highway under water for
some hours Wednesday morning
south of Fort Davis, while* Alameda creek ran bank full and
even spilled over the highway for
a distance just north of Marfa.
Enough water drained off down
the creek to raise the level of

to the 23-foot mark.

At the same time Tuesday
night, good rains were reported
to the northwest and west, with

for many years. Mr. Mead was
associated with the First National bank of Greenville for
some 20 years before coming to
Marfa in 1929 as cashier of the
Marfa State bank.

the presidency ot the Marfa State
bank, a position he held until
his death, For the last four years
he also, served as president of
the Van Horn Irrigated Farms,
Inc.

Big Lions Carnival
Will Be Staged Here
Monday Afternoon
Regular mail service became
almost non-existent, trains ho
longer traveled the tracks, daily
newspapers' became rare and
highway travel dwindled to a
trickle in Marfa this week as
the,rseult of terrific floods that
straek Texas, particularly in the
area from Ozona to Eagle Pass.
First-trouble came when the
Southern Pacific streamliner
which left Marfa Saturday night
was halted near Langtry, cut off
from both sides by raging waters
of a cloudburst, which washed
out the track both to the east
and west, and left helicopter as
the only means of removal of
the passengers. Mrs. James Keith
of Marfa was one of the passengers on that train.
Big Bridge Goes
Things got tougher when the
raging flood waters tore out the
highway bridge across the Pecos
river at Pecos canyon. The river,
ordinarily almost dry 50 feet
below the span, rose some 80
feet to s w e e p away the
bridge and close highway 90 to
traffic for an indeterminate
time| since the highway and
bridge at that point can not be
detoured and are difficult to teplace. Rains of 8 to 12 inches in
24 hours were reported in places.
Then'came the flood back of
Ozona, which swept through that
city killing some 12 or 15 persons and doing tremendous damage. Various highway bridges
were washed out in that area td
block roads and truck service.
As the crest hit the high
Devil's river bridge on the highway, it was feared for a time
that would go, as the waters
licked at the bridge roadbed, but
it held.
Highway traffic from Del Rio
to San Angelo was routed
through Rocksprings, and Highway 290 traffic through Sheffield
and Ozona Is being sent via El-
dorado and Fort Stockton on
Highway 0f.
No Train 8ervlee
With new floods daily in various-areas, attempts to'- reroute
train and highway traffic were
blocked. No trains came into
Marfa from either direction after
Saturday exceDt a work train
going down. Even attempts to
connect the city with El Paso by
truck were halted for a time
Wednesday morning by water
which flooded the highway at
Ryan and damaged a railroad
bridge there—a loss that left
railway men here unworried,
since it would be simple enough
to repair before the trains would
be needing it, apparently.
Air mail offered the only dependable mail service in and out
of Marfa, with the postoffice accepting other mail and packages
on the understanding they would
go out when possible. Buses and
trucks were carrying what they
could, but only a part of whole
load, while plans were made for
new routings. Wednesday only
one daily paper, that sent by
truck from San Angelo, reached
Marfa, and all copies were
snapped up in minutes after arrival.
%
International Bridqe Out
Highway traffic was almost
halted through Marfa, with a
corresponding loss to service
stations arid hotels. Regular
travel on the highway would wait
repairs to the Pecos Canyon
bridge, while rail authorities .said
they expected at least a week
more to elapse before they could
reestablish service.
Waters roaring down the Rio
Grande as they drained off, did
great damage at Eagle Pass, took
out the international bridges/ at
Eagle Pass and Del Rio, *M destroyed many homes with unknown loss of life in Cuidad
Acuna and Piedras Negras.
About Town
Because funds raised have been
insufficient to insure the opening
and operation of the Marfa swims
ming pool this summer, donations will be returned and efforts
to arrange for the pool opening
will be, halted, Mrs. Don Harrison, who has sponsored the movement, said this week.
Mrs. Harrison said she would
be responsible- personally for the
return of such funds as had already been received.

N o t very long ago a group of Chamber of Commerce
members and trustees, in discussing the possible sources of industry for Marfa. mentioned the need of a wool scouring plant
in this area.
It has been difficult to put the scouring plants in the area
where the wool is, for some reason, though it should be cheaper
to freight out cleaned wool than the raw product.
NQW, however, the announcement has been made that
there will be a new location in W e s t T e x a s for the wool scourging plant now located at W a c o , and President W a l t e r Pflueger,
E d e n , of the T e x a s Sheep and Goat Raisers has been authorized to name a committee to pick a location.
T h e r e will, of course, be competition for such a plant
from every town in W e s t T e x a s — a n d every city, too. And
certainly the larger places like San Angelo seem to have the
votes to d r a w even more to themselves, despite the needs of
t h e smaller communities, so answers won't be easy.
It seems to us, however, that a wool scouring plant needs
plenty of water—and that's one asset Marfa has few other
communities in W e s t T e x a s can offer. Alpine has had to fight
for enough water to serve its people at a minimum during the
last few years. San Angelo is getting some water stored up
now. but a couple of years ago even washing cars there was
against the law—and it might happen again. H a r d l y a city
in W e s t T e x a s has water to spare for lawns or any use above
bare necessities—any city except Marfa. perhaps.
Marfa has pumped consistently every drop of water any
person in town wanted for any purpose at any hour of the
day, straight through every period of drought and water shortage—pumped without lowering the water table no matter
what the demand. And the city is able to furnish plenty more.
W e don't have the bia citv. we can't exert the pressure
for this plant, but we offer Marfa for consideration simply because we do have water—good water and plenty of it. It's a
valuable asset and this is one place we might be able to cash
in on it.

very few of these violate their
