For Public Improvements.

Mayor Cooney has two projects
on foot for the betterment of con-
ditions in the city. He is trying
to secure the building of a high
earth walk from the Avenue
house to the Santa Fe depot.
He thinks he can have this done
for the lumber that is in the
present walk. The Mayor is also
negotiating with the Santa Fe
company for the purpose of in
ducing the company to build a
dam and canal at the mouth of
the canon to divert the food
waters into the old arroyo in
which they ran years ago. The
company has agreed to do this if
the city will deed the company
a strip of land a quarter of a
mile wide extending from the
slaughter house to the river.
The company asks this canoes
sion in order not to incur risks of
suits for damages when the inn
provement is undertaken. If this
project is carried through, the
city will be freed from all danger
of inundation from the arroyo
and the Magdalena track will
also be much safer.

Leries to Be Corrected.

Assessor Benjamin Sanchez
will soon make additional levies
that have been required by the
territory. These levies are AS
of a mill for the maintenance of
the Normal University at Las
Vegas and .25 of a mill for the
maintenance of the Orphan Chill
drens' home at Belen. This
omission at the July meeting of
the county board was due to an
oversight of the auditor of the
territory. The mistake will be
an expensive one for somebody,
as a new set of books will have
to be made out.

Reliance in the Lead.

Thursday was the day set for
the frs! race between the cup
defender Reliance and Sir Thomas
Lipton's Shamrock Ill. The wind
was so light that the race was
declared off. When the signal
was given the Reliance was fully
a mile in the lead. AS the weather
conditions were such as are sup
posed to be most favorable for

though the Americas cup is pret-
ty sure TO remain at home.

Rocksy McCarsey returned last
week from Socorro county, N. NJ.
where he located 140 acres of oil
land. Rocksy is from the oil
regions of Pennsylvania and has
had much experience in oil lands.
He had been through that section
several years ago, and was satis-
fed there was oil there, but upon
his return he found representa-
tives of the Colorado Fuel and
Iron company on the ground To-
eating land and he had to hustle
to get 140 acres, which, however,
he thinks will be ample for him

SOCORRO FLOODED.
Streets and Houses Inundated by
Rush Of Water from Arroyo
above the City
FLOOD OF 'sS ALMOST RQUALLED.
Track and Bridges on the Magdalena
Carried AWay---NO Lives Lest.

Socorro was visited last Satur-
day evening BY a food that all
most equalled the famous food Of
'95. In fact, it is the opinion of
some who witnessed both floods
that the volume of water that
came down from the mountains
Saturday was equal to that of
the former food, the only reason
why it did less damage being
that the water spread over a
greater area.
1t rained but little in Socorro
Saturday. Al about three o'clock
in the afternoon, however. a
storm began to gather near the
southern end of the Magdaleua
range. An hour later there was
every indication that a heavy
downpour was in progress on the
eastern slope of the range and on
the plain between that and the
Socorro mountain. Bv six o'clock
general attention was attracted
by the roar of the water coming
down the arroyo two or three
miles away. The roar grew
louder and louder until every
body familiar with the sound
knew that a tremendous volume
of water was coming and that
the banks of the arroyo would
doubtless be overflowcd.
Luckily the arroyo divides in
the southwestern part of the city.
From this point much of the
flood went through the southern
part and much more through the
western part of the city. What
the channels of the arroyo could
not hold rushed down every street
and alley leading from west tC
east. Yards very generally, and,
in several localities, houses were
inundated. No lives were lest
but for a time intense excitement
prevailed. In every direction
people could be seen carrying
furniture aud other movables to
places of safety or building bar
ricades against the rising waters.
The low ground between the
business district of the city and
the Santa Fe depot was flooded,
the water standing three feet
deep across lower Manzauares
avenue.
The greatest damage caused by
the flood occurred on the Magda,
lena branch of the Santa Fe rail-
road. Near the mouth of the
canon through which the road
passes, two or three bridges were
washed out, also several hundred
feet of track. No trains have
run between Magdalena and So
corro for a week. The work o
repairing the damage has pro.
gressed rapidly, however, and i
will be but a day or two until al
substantial evidence of the floot
there and elsewhere will hav,
passed away.
