YUMA, Ariz., August 13.-From re-
liable parties here, Information has just
been learned that engineers discovered
last week another large stream 200 feet
wide and eight feet deep, with current
of seven miles per hour, entering the
Salton basin, ten miles west OF the
stream navigated last month by the
Carter party. The same engineers could
not get nearer than ten miles of Indian
Wells lake, on account of mud. This is
the third large stream now known to be
flowing into the Salton Basin.
Thirteen miles below Yuma is break
200 feet wide and fourteen feet deep,
through which the current Of the river
flows four miles per hour toward Alamo
Mocho and thence to Salton.
The Colorado river at Yuma today is
at the nineteen-foot mark, and fuctuat-
ing. Heavy rains on the Arizona noun
tains keep up the rivers. In two weeks
past the river here rose from nineteen
feet to twenty-one feet four inches. Now
it is back to nineteen feet.
Reports reached here today confirm
ing the account Of a crevasse in the
Colorado river, seventy miles below
Yuma. The crevasse is 1900. feet long
and ten feet wide. and extends dag
onally across the river, which pours it's
whole volume into it. Two parties were
here yesterday to investigate fully.
The earthquake OF July Both caused
damage only to horses, cattle and build

A MALICIOUS FALSEHOOD.
Mr.. Pillsbury Says Some One Is Trying
to Injure His Business.


to Injure His Business.
MINNEAPOLIS, August 13.-Mr. Pills
bury was seen tonight regarding the
Duluth special, stating that large
amount of grain had been shipped
through that point from Minneapolis to
the east. "It is malicious falsehood, p
said he, evidently promulgated by
some one desiring to do injury to my
business"
He says the figures are the grossest
and widest exaggeration, both as to
the cost and amount of the wheat. He
purchased what wheat he required for
milling, on the markets every week in
the year, at an average cost be-
low the present prices. The to-
tai requirements of his mills
are over IL, ,000, 900 bushels per annum,
if the mills run uninterruptedly, and
his purchasers have not been in ex-
cess of this amount. All the millers in
Minneapolis have not purchased the
amount stated in the dispatch during
the past year, and little wheat has been
purchased at the price named. The
great bulk has been bought below one
dollar bushel, which is about the
present value of old wheat in Minneap-
oils.

DENVER, Colo., August 13.-District
council No. 83, Knights of Labor, which
took in all the employees of the Union
Pacific railway system, has taken action
regarding the Nebraska eight
hour law, which at present is causing
trouble in Omaha and other cities.
The following telegram has been
sent to Omaha, Grand Island and
North Platte: "Section Is of the agree
ment in the contract as to working time
is still in force. 1t was made prior to
the eight-hour law, which under the
constitution it cannot abrogate. The
law is thus imperative on the Union
Pacific shop employees, because OF the
contract. In honor we are bound to
recognize the contract, unfortunate as it
appears, until it be modified by the par
ties to it. Good faith as an organiza-
tion should be considered in assisting

LANDING OF CHINESE STOPPED.
The Exclusion Law Enforced In thu
Strictest Sense.


Strictest Sense.
SAN Francisco, August IL. The land
ing of Chinese from the steamer Oceanic
was stopped today by the order OF Col-
lector Phelps. The order was due to a
circular received from the treasury de-
partment, quoting the decision OF the
United States supreme court in the case
of Wan Sing. The latter is laborer
and wanted to land on the ground Of
previous residence. The court held that
no Chinese, merchant or otherwise,
could land in the United States unless
he was provided with consular certifi-
cate. To obtain this certificate he would
have to prove that he was conducting a
mercantile business in this country,
which would be almost an impossibility
in China. Collector Phelps holds that
this practically excludes all Chinese,
except those connected with the diplo-
matte corps.

vivors among the officers of the Grand
Armee. has celebrated his ninety
seventh birthday in his retreat at
Herblay, on the banks of the Seine
NJ. Souf1ot, who is extremely popu-
Lar in that part of the country,
loves to fight his battles over again. He
took part in the campaigns of 1919 and
the three following years, and before Ma
poleon went to Elba he was promoted to
the rank of captain.
He was stanch imperialist, and after
the downfall of his hero he refused to
serve under any other regime, and was
put upon half pay. but he emerged for a
short time from his retirement to com
mand a squadron of lancers of the Old
Guard at Waterloo. After the final col
lapse of the emperor he left the army for
good, at the age of 90, and spent the fol-
lowing half century of his life in civil
employment. He then pitched his tent, -
to use his own expression, at Herblay,
where he is held in high esteem for his
many acts of kindness NJ Souf1ot is
said to be the doyen of the members of

Tracing n1issent Mail.

Tho postmaster of Philadelphia has
invented device whereby he expects to
be able to trace missent and delayed
mail matter. It consists of small
stamp to be worn on the thumb of a
sorter. 1t is an automatic mixer, and
every time a letter passes through his
hands for sorting the mere act of hand
ling it will put ON it postmark. If
each clerk has a number that number
will go with the stamp, and delayed or
missent letter will be traceable thereby
direct to the actual blunderer In his
own Office Mr.. Field is getting his patent
into use, and if it works as expected it is
probable the whole service will adopt it.
While it viii be somewhat of nuisance
in some respects, it will be welcome to
efficient sorters, as it win protect inno-
cent men from being credited with the
blunders of others.-Interview in st.

Old Church RECORD, Reoo,.rsd.

Ex-Governor Charles II. Bell has re-
stored to the First Congregational church
of Exeter. N. H., a valuable record book,
discovered by him in the shop of local
dealer in antiquities. 1t is small man
uscript volume containing record of
the 727 baptisms administered by the
Rev. Woodbridge Odlin between Sept.
%, 1743. and Oct. 80, 1853. The book
also contains few miscellaneous items.
of which this is the most important:
''Nov'r 1S, 1865. About four o'clock
in ye morning there was a smart shocke
of an earthquake, which was followed
with several smaller shockes, to the
great surprise of many. God grant vt
ye impressions vt were made upon ye
minde of many might be abiding"
The handwriting is handsome and
very legible, and the book is remarkably
well preserved. It fills an important gap
in the early records of the church, whose
age is coincident with that of the town.

After tough three hours' struggle
with death John Opfer came out ahead.
and he was full Of joy. Opfer is an en-
ploye of the West Jersey Ferry com
pany, and is fond of skating. He was
enjoying this exhilarating sport ON the
Delaware at the head of Third street,
between the Camden shore and Petty's
island, Saturday, when he struck weak
spot in the ice and broke through. The
current dragged him down and ne be-
came benumbed.
When he arose to the surface Opfer
was in the midst of the broken ice float
ing rapidly up stream, and he made a
frantic effort to save himself He seized
several cakes of ice, but they sank un-
der his weight and sent him again and
again beneath the surface. He cried
loudly for help. but he was SO far from
either shore and the floating ice was SO
heavy that no one dared to attempt his
rescue.
At last Opfer, his strength almost
gone, managed to climb upon an ice foe,
where he fell exhausted. His struggles
had been witnessed by two men on Pet
ty's island, and as the foe drifted up
toward the point they pushed off in
their boat at the risk of their own lives,
and pulled the unconscious Opfer off the
ice.
After hard fight the boatmen man
aged to make the island again, and they
carried Opfer into the little dwelling
house that stands there. He had been
struggling with ice for an hour, and
gave no sign of life when efforts to re-
suscitate him began. After two hours
hard work, however, Opfer opened his
eyes, and at last was brought out of
deaths grasp entirely.
81 thought l was a goner, sure
enough" said Opfer yesterday, ''when I
found myself banging away at those
cakes of ice. Geerozalum, but was
cold! Then all of a sudden I got warm
and cozy and settled down for a nap.
My! but it was nice till those men on the
island woke. me up" Philadelphia

An Operation Not Necessary.

Miss Alice Perry, of Bridgeport, Conn,
awoke few nights ago under the inn
preston that she was in immediate dan
ger of strangling to death. Her false
teeth were nowhere to be found, and a
doctor was at once called. The physi-
clan found the case grave enough to call
in counsel, and the only way to save
Miss Perry's life seemed by the opera
ton called tracheotomy. The instru-
ments were obtained, and the operation
was on the verge of being performed
when Miss Perry's teeth were found on
the edge of her bed.
