SWEPT BY A CYCLONE.
The Damage Done Cannot as Yet be
Estimated.

WICHITA, Kans.. June 25-At Z 80 this
evening terrible cyclone from the south

County, and nearly wiped the little town
out of existence. The telegraph wires are
down and the information was brought to
Leon by courier Owing to the fact that

clone passed over the details are meager
1t is known, however. that Ed Thurman
was crushed to death in a stable. Many
were pinned under falling houses and
their fearful walls indicate serious injury.
Il is thought that many were killed, as
tile cyclone swept on its course as far east
as the people could see it. Two general
stores. the largest buildings in the village,
were crushed like egg-shelIs. A freight
train was standing on the Frisco track at
the time and six box-csrs were lifted up
and turned upside down. This would
indicate that the cyclone was about 200
feet wide. The wreck is standing on tn q
rack piled thirty feet high, and trains
cannot pass until some time tomorrow

NOT SERIOUSLY DAMAGED.
Effect of the Flood on the Union
Pacific Tracks


OMAHA, Nebr., June 25.-Union Pacific
headquarters to-day received final re-
port on the recent flood damages in the
Northwest. The water has sufficiently re-
ceded to leave the UuiOn Pacific tracks ex-
posed along the shore, and they are in
seeming good condition for being under
waller so long. Between Portland and
Bonneville there are only few fiiled-in
bridges out. the ballast OF the track being
in fair shape, and it has been saved along
the riverside by bsgs of sand placed as a
barricade at short intervals. No serious
landslides are 10 be seen, although in some
places the track has completely disap-
peared, and new tracks and new roadbed
will have TO be built at some places be-
tween Umatilla and Portland TO connect
the tracks that have withstood the en-
crOachments OF the river. The road be-
tween Bonneville and Portland can be en-
tlrely repaired in three weeks. In the
vicinity of TIE Dalles nearly 800 men are
at work blasting the mountain for a new
roadbed, and the work of reconstruction
will be pushed as rapidly to completion as
possible. 1t is the belief of the officials
that the damage done by the recent high
waters will not amount to so much as a:
first supposed, although IL will run high
into the hundreds of thousands.

Tie Pullman Company tonight issued
a stateme mt regarding the STRIFE and pro-
posed boycott. After reviewing the situ-
alton and stating that the strikers have
already deprived themselves of more than
$1,000 in wages. the document concludes
with the statement that the boycott is
threatened because the company will not
agree TO submit to arbitration the ques-
tiOn as TO whether or not it shall operate
its shops at Pullman under a scale Of
wages which would cause a daily loss.
Anticipating the threatened boycott
against Pullman cars by the American
Railway Union, the general managers of
all ROADS which have terminals in Chicago
practically decided to-day that all Pull
man cars will get out with trains or trains
will remain at the depOts until they can
go with their usual Pullman equipment.
This decision was read at the general
managers session which was called to-
gether in special meeting for the purpose
of considering the proposed boycott. Reso-
luuons were adopted at to-day's meeting
condemning the boycott and asserting the
intention of the roads represented to act
unitedly in resisting the proposed move of
the union.

tended a mass-meeting held in the theater

The proposed boycott was heartily in
dorsed and speeches by President Debs

confident of success.

DESERT RECLAMATION
Sweet of Idaho Talks on the
Subject.
He Wants Congress to Go About
1t in a BuSineSS-Like
Manner.

WASHINGTON, June 25.-One OF the most
concise and interesting discussions of the
question of irrigating the arid lands of the
West, from a Western standpoint. is the
report made by Representative Sweet OF
Idaho upon the measure which was agreed
upon by Western members in Congress.
The bill provides for the survey of lands
and waters with view to securing accu-
rate Information as to estimates of cost
upon which Congress may proceed.
Representative Sweet asserts that IL the
land and water of the arid regions are
properly utilized and economical millions
of acres which are now but waste places
will become fertile homes for thousands.
The consideration of the question has
been too long delayed, he continues, and
while all cOncede the Importance. If not
the necessity for prompt action, there is n
inclin alton to let the matter drift, because
the East and South feel that it is a ques-
tion requiring special knowledge and that
II Congress attempts to handle il there is
danger Of serious mistakes.
Two more reasons. he suggests, that rep
TeSentativeS from the older sections fear
that national effort to establish a system
Of irrigation will result in such enormous
expenditures as TO bring forth the disap-
proVal of their constituents, and second be-
cause of a fear among Southern mem bers
and those from the east of the Missouri
River of the effect upon prices of farm
prod uct
Present low prices, most Of them, are
said to be attributed TO oVerproduction,
and the theory is that the development of
the arid regions will result In increased
competition in already profitless industry.
These facts conld not stop the develop
ment of the West, he SAYS. Railroad and
telegraph lines, the opening of mines
and the great pastoral interests OF
central arid States have attracted popu-
lation which has taken ell the lands along
the streams easy of reclamation and found
fairly good market, while the mountain 8
teemed with industrial life.
The expenditures necessary, if the Gov
ernment should enter upon policy of ma
tional reclamation. Mr.. Sweet SAYS, have
been exaggerated. It's not necessary TO
complete the work beginning to return
the money expended TO the treasury.
Small tracts could be irrigated and dis
posed of to settlers at the actual cost of
reclamation. thus establishing an Income
from the sale OF land.

LOCALLY CONSIDERED.
1t Is Not Thought the Strike VIII
Reach Here.

e, There is a wide diversity Of opinion
among the working railroad men as to the
probability or possibility of the fight
against the Pullman Company extending
to this city, and, while there is belief in
some quarters that such a contingency
may arise, among those who should be best
posted as to the situation here the impress
sion prevails that the matter will be
fought out by the members of the Ameri-
can Railway Union further east.
Over in East Oakland last night there
wasa meeting held by the Order of Rail-
way Trainmen. During the session the
contest which is TO be inaugurated to-day
was; it is said. Informally discussed, but
NO action was taken. In fact, the Order of
Railway Trainmen do not appear to be in
sympathy with the movement, if the ex-
pressions Of several of its members, with
whom CALI. reporter entered into con-
Versation, may be accepted as criterion.
:r:fQf course there is always a greater or
less amount OF sympathy expressed among
railroad men for their brethren who en-
gage in fight for the betterment of their
condition" said one OF the members of
the organization mentioned, "but | must
say that while we would like to see the
boys back East win their fight, it would be
a foolish task to attempt to inaugurate a
strike here. In the first place the order
only has about 300 members, and a large
majority of these work in the shops.
don't believe the American Railway Union
has dozen men here who are trainmen
Looking al the matter from this point of
view you will realize too that in order to
insure success. or to even make a showing,
they must depend entirely upon assistance
from the other organizations.
Now a contest OF this character means
more to railroad employees on this coast
than it does to those in the East for this
reason: In the lastnamed section of the
country the Pu!lmau Company owns the
cars operated on the various roads, while
:Qut here the Southern Pacific owns four
'fifths of all the cars bearing the name of
Pullman. As natural consequence the
. fight would be of far more vital interest to
tile Southern Pacific than it would be to
the car company, and If we went into it
we could expect nothing else than 10 find
