Maeterlinck. WATER'BY PACK HORSES. Problem for. he People Who Live Back from the Rio Grande. Water Is a precious article In the upper Rto 'Grande region of Texas, says the Kansas City Star. The Rio Grande Itself contains an ample sup ply for the Mexicans and few Ameri cans who live In this remote region, but It sometimes Is a difficult matter to transport and distribute a supply. In the villages nnd goat ranches sit uated back from the river the water problem Is one of the most difficult that the people have to contend with. Many months may pass without rain. The country becomes dry and parched. The hardy desert plants are the only species of vegetation that are able to go through these long droughts. Water frequently has to be transported long distances from the Rio Grande. Where the country Is mountainous, and rough water carts cannot be used, the water is carried in water bags which fit over the back of a horse. These bags are cvonly balanced up on the back of the Lorse and carry ten to twelve gallons when filled. The bags are made of stout canvas and are fitted with tin funnels. .It Is not un common to see a dozen or more of these water pack horses In a single train going to or from the river, all In charge of a Mexican driver. Seek to Domesticate Yaks. To the Canadian government the Duke of Bedford has presented a small herd of yaks.
