ENTIRE TOWN GONE.
ALTATA, MEXICO, WIPED
OFF THE MAP.
Not Building Left Standing-One or tho
Results of the Terrible September
Storm-Cloudburst From tho Hills and
Tidal Wayo From the Sea.

SAN Francisco, Oct. 19.-On the last
trip of the Pacific coast steamship ORR
{ zaba up the Gulf of California the Off
GERS and crew of the vessel were sur
prised to find one of the ports they
make regularly, wiped off the earth.
When the ship reached the mouth OF
the river Culiacan, in the state of Sina-
Ioa. the little mining town of Altata,
which had stood there on the Orizaba's
last trip, was gone. Not building
was left standing.
This was one of the results of the
terrible storm which played havoc on
the mainland coast of the Gulf, Septem-
Der II and IS.
The storm was a sort of a composite
affair, partaking of the nature OF
tidal wave and cloudburst. Torrents
rushed down from the hills back OF
Alfalfa and met the tidal wave carried
in from the sea, and the town was
obliterated. Many of the mines locat-
ed inland from the coast were flooded
by the cloudburst. Fortunately, the
loss of life was slight, and the Altatans
are now camping in tents or rudely
constructed huts little back OF where
the town stood.
Viewing the former site of Altata
from the gulf, the most striking objects
that meet the view are the spars of the
schooners Cometa and Rebecca, and of
the barkentine Helena, which were
beached by the great wave.
At Matzatlan, further up the Gulf, a
most remarkable result of the storm is
observed. In the middle Of the main
street of Mazatlan, more than a block
from the waters edge, sits a schooner
ON even keel. She rode in on the tidal
wave, and when it receded was left
high and dry.
So far as Altata is concerned, it is no
new thing for it to find itself off the
map. This is the third time that town
has been swallowed up by the sea.
Twice the place has been built. each
time at a point further up the Culiacan
river. This time the residents will
build well in from the coast. it IS said.

BASEBALL SEASON.
Stars Begin Practice Tomorrow
Good Player Drops Out.

| OOOu fldySr drops Out.
Baseball this year bids fair TO
be more interesting than for many
seasons. The different clubs will
begin practice this week, the
Stars taking the initiative by
starting tomorrow. Christian
Conrad will manage last years
champions, and the campaign laid
out by him for the Stars this sea
son calls for diligent practice and
strict discipline. 1t is the inten.
ton of the Stars to come out first
in this years series, and if steady
practice and good ball-playing
will reach the desired goal, then
another championship scoop will
be added to the belt of the Stars.
The Kamehameha School boys are
in good form and expect to put
up good games during the season.
Last years kamehamehas, cap
tanned by Robert Pahau, are thor
oughly organized and considera-
bly, strengthened since last year.
1t is to be regretted that the
veteran James Thompson will be
unable to put team in the field
this year, owing to official duties
requiring his entire time. The
loss of Mr.. Thompson as a ball
player and captain will be serious
ly felt this year, for none is more
enthusiastic over the game. His
many friends hope circumstances
will allow Captain Thompson to
be seen and heard on the dia-
mond.
1t is desired to have a league of
four clubs this year, which can be
easily arranged and will prove
much more interesting than three.
The Stars, Kamehamehas and
Alumni are already
organized, and another club to
make the desired number is avail
able. This is made up of young
men who are considered good
ball-tossers, but have not played
for a year or more.
The season last year opened du-
ring the latter part of April, and
there shout be no further delay /
in perfecting organization this
year. \ league meeting should |
be called and necessary arrange
ments made for ball-playing |
toward the end of this month. |
1t is expected that President Al
len will call the league together
this week. Such a course would /
please the balI-players and those |
interested in the game.
