A NEW MEXICO RAIN.
Bridge Washed Outrageous Swept Away
Cellars Flooded Houses In
undated.


The rain which, fell soon after noon
today, was a record breaker. On palace
avenue the water poured down the street
in a perfect flood, sweeping everything
before it and flooding Il number OF
buildings on either side, bnt the most
damage was done along the Rio Santa
Fe. The dwellers in tents along the
stream suffered the loss of provisions,
damage to tents and furnishings. The
south approach to the bridge over the
river on GaSpar II was washed out
and the bridge cut off from the south
side. One party of campers, which
pitched their tents just before noon, had
barely time to get their horses and mules
out of harms way, but five wagons and
a covered buggy went sailing down the
stream on the crest of the flood wave.
When the waters subsidized portions of
the vehicles were recovered some dis
lance below town.
On the south side, along the acequia
madre, cellars we're flooded, fences over
thrown and considerable damage done
to fields of grain. At the new capitol
building a portion of the stockade was
undermined by the water, which ran
from the surrounding streets, and it fell
over.

cept on occasions" but the deficiency of
rainfall is more than made good when a

The members of the city board of edit
cation should attend as many meetings
of the teachers institute, now in session
in the city, as possible.
The impression prevails in the states
that rain never falls in New Mexico. 1t
is safe to assume that the majority of
the people in the north and east were
not in Santa Fe about l o'clock today.
Private information reaches the New
MEXICAN that a case of genuine small
poX has made its appearance in the
Grant county jail at Silver City. As be-
tween 20 and 80 prisoners are confined
in this jail the discovery is naturally
causing much anxiety among the coun-
ty authorities.
County School Superintendent Pine
announces that no certificates will this
year be granted to any persons to teach
school in this county, whether they pass
the prescribed examination or not, UNI
less the applicants can show that they
have attended a teachers institute in the
territory during the year. All the
school boards will be advised to this
effect.
Another WaShout occurred on tile Den
yer & Rio Grande last night, about IA
miles west of the city. A bridge over
an arroyo, the approaches and about 60
feet of track were swept away. The
north bound train, which left at 1910
this morning, went that far and then
turned back and reported the damage.
If the south bound train manages to
reach that point tonight, passengers,
express and mail will be transferred and
the train turned back for Colorado points.
The Optic pays the following hand
some and merited compliment to a San
ia Fe hotel: Among all the w%ell-con-
Quoted hostelries of New Mexico, the
Optic knows none so little like the typi-
cal hotel, and so truly home-like in
service and arrangements, as the EX-
change hotel, of Santa Fe. The rooms
are large and well furnished, so that
when getting out of bed you need not
strike your head against the wall; and
on going to sleep you need not feel that
you are persisted for lack of air. The
table meets every demand of the most
exacting, while the service is thoroughly
satisfactory.
Henry Pacheco wishes to contract

Teachers Institute.

The fourth day of the county teach
ers' institute, now in progress in Santt
Fe, under the leadership of County Su
perintendent Pine and Professor Lank
ard, opened this morning with a goo(
attendance OF teachers, and the exer
cises proved more than ordinarily inter.
esting and instructive. .
Papers we're read on the subject of I'M,
Country" by Miss Schnepple and Miss
Dean, both of which were meritorious.
A general discussion followed on the
question, "How to Teach Patriotism in
the Public Schools?"
Under the head of "Arithmetic," the
subject of interest and discount was dis
cussed at some length.
The exercises of the afternoon were
opened with quotations embracing
thought gems.
Following this came talks by teachers
on the constitution of the United States
and a general discussion on the ques-
ton, "Why has the United States ad'
vanced more rapidly than Canada"
The work today was very good, all the
attendants manifesting a deep interest
in the patriotic subjects discussed.
There should be a more general at.
tendance of teachers and members OF
school boards and patrons of the public
schools are respectfully urged to make
1t a point to be present at as many
meetings of the normal as possible.

A Thing of Beauty.

Upon returning to his Las Vegas home
from his recent visit to Santa Fe, DR..
Gould FASTENED to pen the following
editorial paragraph for the Optic:
''When one hasn't been in Santa Fe
for nearly two years, what will most
forcibly attract his attention will be the
marvellous change which has been made
in the plaza park of that city. Nothing
could be prettier than is now this little
gem in the heart of the city, with its
low stone wall, scarcely more than a
curbing; its closely cut grass; its firm,
smooth walks: it's abundance of seats in
the shade of thrifty, well trimmed trees.
And the people enjoy it too; for there
from early morning to far into the even
ing hours, they come and go, and sit
and gossip, make love and transact
business, All this delightful change
the Optic understands, the people OF
Santa Fe and her innumerable visitors,
owe to the ladies of that city, who
brought such beauty and comfort out of
what before had been a %desolation and a
waste

Successful Wool Securing.

The wool securing plant, at Albu-
querque, is closed for the first time in
eight weeks, says the Citizen, the sup
ply of wool giving out. Large quaint.
ties of it are, however, already on the
way here from Grants and in u day OF
two the mill will present its usual busy
appearance.
James Wilkinson, the manager Of the
plant, has just shipped 81, 900 pounds OF
baled wool in two carloads to Phila-
delphia, and if the wool already on the
way from the west arrives in time he
will ship another 25, 1000 pounds on next
Tuesday.
Mr.. Wilkinson states hat business at
his place this season will compare fav-
orably with last year. The wool is now
put into square bales before being
shipped instead of being put into long
bags as was the custom last year. This
makes it possible to load three times the
amount on a car, thus making the
transportation expense much cheaper
and the wool is sent the whole way by
rail now whereas formerly it was neces-
sary to ship it the greater part of the
way by boat.

Says the Albuquerque Citizen: This
morning, Roy Mcdonald, the officiating
secretary of the Browns baseball club,
received a telegram from Captain Craw-
ford, of the Santa Fe club, stating that
the team from the capital would reach
the city Friday evening and play the
first game at the Fair grounds Saturday
afternoon. The visitors will remain
over and try conclusions again with the
Browns on Sunday afternoon. Captain
''Syke' Young, when shown the dispatch
this morning, jumped for joy, for his
old joints were getting rusty, and the
prospects for giving them some good ex-
ercise makes him feel exceedingly
''yOung'' again,

Work Progressing Rapidly.

Work on the Ell Paso & Northeastern
railroad is progressing rapidly, and the
grading on the branch line into the
Sacramento mountain is nearing cons
pletion. Track laying will be resumed
on August 25, and the line into the great
timber region will be placed in readiness
for operating as rapidly as the steel can
be laid. The town of Alamogordo is
fast assuming pleasing proportions and
business there is on a good sized boom.
Eastern Dona Ana county has already
felt the beneficial effects of the building
of this road, and as the line is extended
into the White Oaks country the open
ing up of the lands in that section of the
territory will largely increase the popu
lation of New Mexico, by reason Of the
influx of new settlers.
