The officials of the road probably
think that shipments of hay and straw
can be held up with less damage and
inconvenience than any other class of
freight. Hay is selling freer in Wash
ington than at any other time in its
history, and it is also selling at its best
prices.
The Baltimore and Ohio continues to
receive hay and straw shipments. and
nearly all come in over this line. With

have been but few consignments re

Elkins Interested

This division of their road bisects this
tract OF $4,000 acres and it is taken for
granted that they have obtained con-
troll. Inasmuch as Senator Elkins and
ex-senator Henry G. Davis are known
as the active men in this deal. there is
every indication to verify the predic-
ton that the Goulds have won out.
In addition to the SO. 900 acres IN ques-

syndicate has purchased a large tract of
coal land In the counties of Braxton,

FATAL AUTO RACING.
Paris-Madrid Race Ends In Many
Disnsters.

PARIS, May 25.-The first stage in
the Pars-Madrid automobile race
from Versailles to Bordeaux, 343 miles,
was finished at noon Sunday when
Louis Rcnault dashed at Il furious
pace into Bordeaux, having made
record run of Sh 27m.
An hour later NJ. Gabriel arrived,
with II still better record of Sh. I'm.
1t is estimated from the times made
that these automobiles covered sixty
two miles an hour on the road outside
the cities.
These victories, however, were cloud
ed by Il series of accidents, having in
one case at least fatal result. At
least two cars were wrecked, and Mar
eel Renault. the winner of the Paris
Vienna race last year; Lorraine Bar
rows, very well known automobilist,
and Renaults chauffeur were serious
ly and, it is believed, fatally injured,
while Burrows chauffeur was killed.
In view of the number of accidents,
some fatal, in the first stage of the
paris-Madrid automobile race from
Versailles to Bordeaux, Premier
Combes has forbidden the continuance
of the contest on French territory. The
second stage of the race, which was
to have been continued on Tuesday, in
cluded u run over French territory
from Bordeaux to the Spanish from
tier Premier Combes' action will prob
ably lead to the race being abandoned.

ENID. Okla, May 2j.-IIundreds of
persons were rendered homeless and
property damage to the extent of $780,
900 was done i'm the Enid bottoms
alone by Il cloudburst that struck
west of this city at midnight. The ag-
gregate damage will probably be much
higher on account of the losses sus-
tanned between Enid and the seat Of
the storm. a bank of water three feet
high and 200 feet wide swept down
through the bottoms, carrying houses
and everything before it.
1t came upon Enid without warning
while most of its citizens were asleep.
Within few minutes u hundred
houses were partly or completely sub
merged RcScucrs went to work i'm

save persons from perilous positions.
Many lost everything they possessed.
The means for relieving distress are
inadequate.
The rainfall during the past ten
days has been the heaviest in the his
tory of Oklahoma, and indications are
that more will follow. Reports of
losses in the country west of Enid are
mcager, but it Is believed that heavy
damage was done.
Early Sunday Guthrie was visited
by another deluge, making the twenty
fourth consecutive day of rain.

speech of the day was made TO thou.
sand coal miners who had come down
from Roslyn. At North Yakima the
president spoke on irrigation to large
audience. He dwclt here on the impor-
tance Of irrlgating and of the approval
of the acts OF the last session of con
crcss. a feature of the crowd here was
the presence of thousands of Indians
from the Yakima reservation At Ell
lensburg the president spoke fifteen
minutes on good citizenship to 5000
people. First of all he said:
LET me greet those whom | know
others will not grudgp my specially
greeting, men of the Grand Army and
the representatives of those who did
even more than the men OF the civil
war, the women, for. while the men
went TO battle. to the women fell the
hardest task Of seeing husband or low
er father or brother, going TO the war,
she herself having to stay behind with
the load of doubt, anxiety and unccr-
tainty and often the difficulty of max
ing both ends meet in the household
while the breadwinner was away"
The presidential party arrived in Pas
co at 2:05 p. m. and were greeted by a
crowd OF about 100. The president
made n general talk on irrigation, stat
ing that through the assistance Of the
national irrigation act all the so called
barren wastes, including that surround
ing pasco, would undoubtedly be irri-
gated, that national reservoirs would
be constructed to conserve the supply
of water now going to waste in the Co
lumbla and Snake rivers and the bar
rem waste would he changed to ver-
liable garden OF Eden.
TO the president was given II box of
assorted fruits grown about four miles
from Pasco as n testimonial of what
pasco land would do under irrigation.
The president spoke for Il little over
ten minutes. The eastward journey
was then resumed.
About 500 people, including many
school children, met the presidential
train mt Wallula. The president made
n brief address, directed largely to the
school children, in which he encour-
aged them TO keep on striving TO secure
an education. He spoke in compliment
tary terms of the resources of the coun-
try and its possibilities if irrigation
could be secured

TACOMA, n. H.. May 27.-Nearly
100 buildings burned, $50 persons made
homeless and loss of between $780,
600 and 100000 is the story in short
Of the greatest fire this city ever eXpe-
rlenced, IL not the state Of New Hamp-
shire.
The burned district In the Lakcport
section covers about $50 acres. The
fire caught from an insignificant blaze
in the boiler room Of the ii. II. Wood
Hosiery mill in the afternoon. In fif-
teen minutes the flames had got be-
yond control of the men who had
started to extinguish them, and in a
very short time, under the influence of
a brisk southeast wind, the entire struc-
ture was wrapped in the destroying
element. Next IL went to the finished
lumber plant Of the Boulia Il Gorrell
company and then TO the works Of the
Laconia Electric Light company.
In less than an hour both these
plants were fiat. The city fire depart
ment not only was unable to check the
flames at this point, but could do moth
ing TO put out small fires which had
begun to show themselves on buildings
on the west side of the Winnipesaukee
river. The result was that as burning
brands began to fall on houses even
some distance away street after street
became n locality for bad fires. BY 4
o'clock the connagration was acres in
extent.
The work of destruction went OH un-
til the fire actually burned itself out
for want of material, having reached
the outside of what is known as the
fire district.
Help had been summoned from Con
cord, Franklin and Meredith, but the
combined forces of apparatus and fire
men were absolutely powerless.
one reason for the quick spread of
the fire over such an area was the dry
ness of all woodwork, for only half an
inch of rain has fallen over this sec
ton In the last forty days.

GREAT WORK OF RELIANCE.
Constitution sailed Piucky Race
Columbia outcInssed.

NEW YORK. May 27.-In a gamely
contested race the Reliance again led
the way to the finish line. winning her
second victory over the Columbia and
her first over the Constitution, and ?
minutes and 81 seconds later when the
Constitution swept across the line the
crew of the new boat gave her the
cheer that she deserved. The Consti-
tuition had sailed plucky race and
had right TO share in the honors.
From the start TO the finish she had
fought every mile of the way over the
thirty mile course and on two of its
legs had actually outsailed the new
boat, performance which restores
her prestige imperled in her Msap-
pointing showing in the drifting match
last Saturday and makes her factor
TO be geckoned with in the selection of
n cup defender.
The Columbia was for the day out
classed No other characterization iode-
quately Describes her miserable per
formance. From the very start she
was never for moment in the race.
While the Reliance ana constitution
were having it out between them
selves all the way around the course
the erstwhile cup defender was drag
ging along miles astern of them, and
when the Reliance sailed across the
finish line she was more than two
miles almost dead to leeward. The Re-
lance beat her by - minutes and 81
seconds, actual sailing time. There Is
no way to account for it other than
that she did not have the speed. The
wind held true from the south by east
nine TO twelve knots during the race
and favored none of the raccrs-ideal
conditions for fair test of the three
boats and devoid of the drifting fea-
lures which marred the two earlier
races.
