INTERESTING GALVESTON LETTER
True Description Of the storm and
Scenes Following.

True Description Of the Storm and
Scenes Following.
Mrs. Harry Burch, who has brother
residing in Galveston, received the fol-
lowing letter, which gives good account
of the storm and the after scene.
Through such letters more perfect idea
OF the devastation and suffering is had:
II have been so crowded with work,
trouble and getting things in shape
since the awful storm that have not
had time to write. Once or twice have
made an attempt, but could not get my
mind settled enough to do it. Our once
beautiful little city is mass of wreck
and ruins, and not only that, but about
seven thousand people were drowned,
besides another thousand or SO crippled
and cut up for life. We had very mar
row escape. We live out on Bath ave-
nue., about five blocks from the beach,
and that part of the town along the
beach from the east end to the Denver
re-survey, for width of ten blocks, was
almost entirely swept out of existence.
Where we lived, when you were here, on
0 street, is nothing but prairie and sand
not even the streets showing any more.
AS you get nearer town the desolation is
not so great, but there is not single
house that escaped partial or total de-
struction. There is house standing
here and there, out where we lived, but
they are SO wrecked they are not fit to
live in. Our beautiful little home is
wreck standing out there in the barren
waste all alone, with only one more
house within a square of fifty blocks.
Nearly all our neighbors were drowned
and it was only the mercy of God that
we came through alive. Our home was
strongly built and held together, enough
SO that it did not fall on US; but another
dreadful hour would have taken us and
we should not have been left to tell the
tale. There was no chance whatever if
we had been forced to take to the water,
as it was fifteen feet deep where our
house stood and the waves dashed
against us like you have seen it out at
the beach in the worst storms. We
stayed upstairs through it all, with the
water rushing through our house and
hitting the ceiling right under us. Houses
were blown to smithereens and collapsed
in the water and dashed on past us.
Sometimes a whole house would bang
up against our house and we would say,
Well, it is all over now We could
hear people screaming who were on
drifts. Dead bodies were tossed on
rushing waters through our house, as
not door or window remained to stop
them. We managed to save few
clothes, but everything else went. We
were glad to escape alive and do not feel
at all Respondent when we look around
and see how others suffered. We have
been ever since trying to do something
to clean up the pile of debris and get rid
of the dead, SO that they wauld not breed
pestilence to those left behind

U. 8. Geological Survey.

The United States geological survey
party, in charge of r. H. Chapman
of Washington, D. c., came down from
the mountains at the head of Swan Lake
last week, and camped at the Big Fork
bridge over night. One of the party said
they had enjoyed the labor. Game was
plentiful in the district where they have
been working. They killed black bear
and one of the largest mountain goats
ever seen in this vicinity.

Treasury Rulings On Customs
Matters.

The Treasury Department has tn
nounced rulings on several points
that will be OF interest to all Homo
lnlu importers, and all persons who
have business with the local Custom
House.
On the matter of returning cigars
received in parcels post, the depart
ment rules that "there is no objac
tion to returning TO the country Of
origin, as unbelievable cigars i'm
ported by parcels post, when the
addresee refuses to receive them,
as such articles are sometimes al
lowed to be exported when reg.
ularly imported and the importation
does not involve fraud"
On the matter of storage charges
where the goods imported have been
entered the department rules,
"Where imported merch sndse is
regularly invoiced, and of which
complete entry has been made,
carriage and storage charges are
not required to be paid by the
importer for conveying the goods
and retaining the same in the
appraisers store, or the place
utilized as such, for the purposes Of
examination and appraisement; but
on failure to remove the goods
within the expiration of two days
Excluding legsls holidays), after
notice to remove the same given on
completion Of appraisement of the
merchandise the importer will
be held liable for the payment OF
such storage and labor charges as
may accrue after the expiration Of
said period, at the customary rates
prevailing at the port, in accordance
with the principle enunciated in the
decision OF the Board OF General
Appraisers 1T. D. 15476-G. A.
2825).
The importer is required to pay
carriage aud storage charges in all
cases where merchandise is entered
on appraisement orders, or on dc
fectiye invoices, or OF which incom.

The New York Times is one OF
the leading Republican papers in
the Uuited States and it is evident

the territory of Hawaii State. The

most influential Republican paper,
in its doctrine, that we ara dealing

no right to interfere in national po-

Here is the N. Y. Times article:
"One incident Of the ceremony of
notification at Canton on Thursday
should not pass unnoticed because it
was unofficial. That was the intru-
sion of an appeal on political
question on which the Republican
party is not agreed, and the attempt
to obtain corntenance for a policy
to which large majority of the
party's best elements are unaltera
bly, opposed, In view of the acts
and disposition OF Republicans and
the failure of the National Conven.
tion to give any countenance to the
idea, the declaration OF Colonel Par
ker, OF the Hawaiian Islands, that the
Republican party was in favor OF
admitting those islands as a State,
made on an occasion Of high official
importanance and dignity in the
very presence OF the President,
was an unauthorized assumption
and a piece OF unwarrantable as
surance which ought not to have
been allowed to pass without
prompt repudiation by some OF the
authorized and resp onsible leaders
present"
Colonel Parker and his fellow
Hswaiians have right to cherish
ambitions for Statehood il they
wish. But no mGn has a right to
promulgate his desire on such, an
occasion as settled Republican
doctrine. No man under cover OF
speech OF compliment has a right
to intrude upon the President a
question on which the party has
not committed itself, thus striving

ed Committee Soliciting
Membership,

Wednesday evening a meeting Of citi-
zens was held in the Alamogordo I'M
provement company's Office for the pur-
pose of perfeeting the organization Of
the Alamogordo Building and Loan as
sociation.
Attorney A. C. Good, who has been
associated with a number of such in
stitutions had prepared rough draft
of constitution and bylaws, which he
presented for the consideration of the
meeting. Considerable discussion fol-
lowed and it was finally decided to hold
over the matter of adopting the bylaws
until the next meeting night, permitting
a committe of three to solicit member
ship IN the interim. Chairman Stuart
appointed Messrs. Waller, Quinlivin and
Wolfnger as the committee.
A subscription list was opened and
was literally signed by prospective
share holders in the association. 1t is
confidently expected that SIS, 900 will be
subscribed, and that no difficulty will be
experienced in floating the enterprise
as a cooperative or mutual concern.
Attorney Good is prepared to attend
to perfecting the organization. He is of
the opinion that within two weeks after
the stock is subscribed officers elected
and bylaws adopted, the association
will be in active working order. His
efforts in behalf of the members have
been prolific of much good and of in
calcuable benefit to the organization.
Messrs Scipio and Wyatt were appoint
ed with him as committee to attend
to the further preparation of the by
laws, etc
Now that the association has been
launched, every man in Alamogordo
who desires a safe investment, which
will bring large returns from small
monthly payments, secured by property
at one-half its actual value, should join.
And every man who desires to build a
small home and pay for it gradually in
a manner so that the cost will not be
felt, should join. 1t is the aim of the
promoters of the association to give the
laboring man as much of voice and
interest as the capitalist and to make it
a thoroughly cooperative affair.
