CULIACAN (Mexico), August b
The lower portion of the city of Altata,
+on the Pacific coast, just west of Culia-
can, has been completely destroyed by
a tidal wave, and not fewer than thirty
people are known to have been drown
ed. The loss of life may be several
times that number. The property loss
is heavy.
1t is reported that several smaller

completely washed away by the same
tidal wave and that the loss of life in
these smaller places is very heavy.
Relief for the sufferers at Altata VIII
be sent from Culiacan, and it is ex-
pected that the state and Federal gov
ernments will take prompt action for
the relief of the destitute.

WILD RIDE ON
A DEER'S BACK

WILLOWS, Aug. IA party OF hunt
ers which passed through town last even
ing on their return from hunting trip
in the Coast range related the wild ex-
perience of a hunter by the name of Joe
Mealey with a large buck
Mealey. early one morning last week
hunting alongside a steep mountain, shot
large buck on the opposite side OF q
rugged ravine. The hunter sat astride the
PROSTATE animal to cut it's throat, but
the moment the keen blade of the knife
penetrated it's hide the buck jumped to
his feet, and with the hunter on his back,
clinging to the antlers and neck for dear
life was off on wild run. The DUCK
continued the wild dash for over a third
of mile, jumping small ravines, leapine
brush and going like the wind, before IL
was exhausted and dropped dead
It is stated that the deer was one OF
the largest killed in those parts for years,
and that Mealey was sick from the filgnt
he received while taking his exciting and
dangerous ride. He could not jump on
as that would have been certain death
and he knew not at what moment the deer
would leap over a steep precipice-

SCHWAB MAY
LOSE HIS JOB

NEW YORK, August 1.-THE Press
says: With the homecoming of j.
Pierpont Morgan next week, the retire
rnent of Charles NJ Schwab. president
of the United States Steel Corporation,
and the election of James Gayley, the
present first president. as his sue
cessor, will be taken into immediate
consideration. The bewildering array
of projects which demand the attention
of Morgan and his associates may de-
lay action a few weeks, but just as soon
as they can get around to it the change
will be made.
Schwab's i'll health is one reason that
has brought the management of the
billion-dollar trust to the view that the
change should be made. But there is
another more potent and that is the
lack of harmony between Schwab and
his fellow members of the executive
committee of the steel trust.
Scnwab was a very efficient mechanic
when Carnegie took fancy to him. his
knowledge of steel manufacture IN all
its grades was what had endeared MN
to Carnegie and with Scotch pertlnacl-
ty Carnegie refused to see the lack OF
INNER qualifications and issued his ult1-
matum that if the United States Cor
noration didn't want to take SchWap
they couldn't take the Carnegie plant
From the beginning it was patent
that Schwab was not in sympathy with
his associates. He was not an old man,
but he was too old to take up line OF
thought entirely new and adapt nimseif
to conditions with which he was Wholiy
unfamiliar
When it came to discussing mechani-
cal details he was at home. When II
came to originating or drawing com
mercial operations he was at sea, and
so it came about that the executive ano
administrative work of the aggregated
industries fell on other shoulders.
So far as known there was no specihc
aeraement entered into with Carnegie
as to how long Schwab was to remain
as president. If there was the time Inn
it has expired.
Schwab is credited with receiving a
salary of a million dollars year.

WHAT TOM FITCH THINKS
ABOUT CURRENT POLITICS

from Republican members. But IL he Is
neither the one nor the other his efforts
will be Intellectual toward achieving any
good for his constituents. There never
was third party in our country whose
life was other than ephemeral or which
ever succeeded either in adopting meas
ures or in electing it's candidates.
and of all third parties that were ever
'butted' into a political contest the Ha-
waiian Home Rulers seems to me the
most unnecessary and unwise. How can
the native Hawaiian expect to heip tnen-
selves in any way by fostering separate
political organization upon the bases OF
perpet1lating memories of conflict and of
hatred which were best forgotten. AS Tor
