THE RIVERS FLOOD,
Condition of the High Water Up to Going

to Press.
This morning the river swas still
higher than ever, but between s and
10 O'Clock was at a standstill and since
then it has been raising gradually.
The HERALD received the following
specials from San Marcial today. The
first was received at 9 o'clock and the
second at 80.
SAN MARCIAL, May 22.-Since noon
yesterday the river rose about four and
one half inches.
SAN lNIARCIAL, May 22.-Since 8
O'Clock the river has dropped about
one inch and the railroad officials be-
lieve it will now recede rapidly. Along
both sides of the river in this vicinity
thousands of dollars worth of damage
has been done to crops and dwellings.
This side of Socorro the gap in the
railroad is 1900 feet wide.
Close estimates indicate that the rise
of three feet eight and one half inches
at San MarciaI would not raise the
river here more than seven and one
half inches above the water of last Sun
day week ago.
The train from the north due here at
11:20 a. m, yesterday, did not leave
Albuquerque until today, and the
north bound train left its passengers at
San Marcial where they are being
housed and fed: and then returned to
this city, arriving at about $40 this
mornipg. However, better time will
be made today, and the return stub
train is expected to reach El Paso by
midnight with passengers from the
north. The break is above San Mar
cial where for 100 feet the road bed is
washed out, and the water is running
over the track for about 100 yards.
There could be no transfer yesterday
owing to the swiftness of the current
and the peculiar topography of that
immediate region. But as the river is
falling there are reasonable hopes OF
closing up the gap today.
\ dispatch received by Agent w. B.
Trull at the Santa Fe depot last night
from train Master Aver at San Marcial
inches here since late last night, and
is now at its highest, fully one foot
higher than at any time this year.
May possibly rise little more, but do
not think So.' This message was dated
D. IN. This noon Mr.. Trull received
notice from San Marcial that the river
had fallen Is inches at La.Joya and II
inches at a. * p. junction.
The Santa Fe people do not appre-
hend any trouble after today.
Mr.. Trull of the Santa F'e received
this dispatch from Train Master Aver
at San Marcial this noon; "River at
this point about three or four inches
fall at noon. Six inch fall at
La Joya. Rio Puerco reported low"
1t is said at the Stanton street
bridge that Governor Ahumada had
given orders that if the river rosa any
higher, to cut out the Mexican end of
the bridge.

LIES SCARS

They say the world is round, and yet
1 often think it square,
So many little hurts we get
From corners here and there,
But one great truth in life I've found,
While jourreying to the west,
The on y folks who really wound
Are those we love the best.
The man you thoroughly despise
Can rouse your wrath, tits true;
Annoyance in your heart will rise
At things mere strangers do:
But these are only passing ills.
This rule all lives will prove:
The ranking hurt that aches and thrills
Is dealt by hands we love.
The choicest garb, the sweetest grace
Are oft to strangers shown;
The careless mien, the frowning face
Are given to our own.
We fiatter those we scarcely know,
We please the fleeing guest,
And deal full many thoughtless blow
To those who love us best.
Love does not grow on every tree
Nor true hearts yearly bloom
Ala for those who only see
This truth across a tomb,
But soon or late, the fact grows plain
To all, through sorrows test
| The only folks who give us pain
Are those we love the best.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
