Assistant General Manager Hitch
cock of the Santa Fe system this af-
ternoon stated that the total loss to
the company as a result of the flood
in Arizona will be in the neigh borhood
of 100000.
This amount will be largely counter

the benefit to growing crops from the
rain and to the increase of the COM
pany's water supply at several points
along the line in Arizona nearly all
of which had become exhausted by
the long drouth.

and doing the actual work of explOra-
ton 1t was known as the Baldwin
Zeigler exploration, and the contracts
were so made The men were signed for
a cruise of 80 months
On his first trip Mr.. Baldwin estab-
lished a number of bases of supplies
up the west coast of Greenland, and
three on the northeastern coast, so as
to be sure of supplies to fall back 10
when the dash should be made for the
pole Among these supplies were an
abundance of food, guns and ammuni-
ton, and 80 tons of coal.
When this had been accomplished
Baldwin came back to carry out his or
iglnaI purpose to secure so Siberian
ponies with which to make the dash to
ehe pole, an addition to the dogs that
are usually used. He says he believes
the ponies are priceless for this pur-
pose. When he reached a bile station

Zeigler wired him to come on to New
York for consultation. He did so and

other parties to take possession of his
ship and started them on the cruise.

out in preparing for this second cruise,

expedition has used up the supplies
which he planted along the northern
coast of Greenland by this time. He
says the expedition should be heard
from probably in September.

Ter. but Notwithstanding that he still

were shipped to the packing houses in
Kansas City and st. Joseph. Mo-, to
take the places of the striking butch
ers. The police have been active in
assisting agents here to get the men
as there have been many idle men
around since the harvest began. City

there is hardly an idle man on the
townsite. He thinks that the petty
thieving that has been going on here
for the past two months will now end.
Many of the men sent away were men
who came here prior to the harvest,
while a few of them are natives of this
part of the state.

! Railway Wants Pavement.
Two petitions for new pavement We're
received, and referred to the streets and
walks committee. One was for Twelfth
street from Kansas avenue to Jackson
street, and the other from Twelfth to
Huntoon on Jackson This is the block
| where the new street railway car barns
i are built and the city would have to
pay the cost of only half of one inter
section.
T. F. Doran, representing the railway
company, stated that the company
would undertake to find a contractor
who would do the work at once and
wait till next year for his pay, as it
is now too late to get it on this yes~'s

Can't Connect to Drain.
City Engineer McCabe filed a protest
against the permission granted by the
city to certain East Eighth property
owners to connect their cellars to the
storm water drawn. Mr.. McCabe stated
that in case of high water, the cellars
so connected would be flooded by back
water.
Acting on the above remonstrance of
the city engineer. the council rejected
the request of J. c. Yohey to connect
with the East Eighth drain.
In order to manifest its desire to
treat everybody alike, the council re-
considered its. action of the former
meeting by which three property own
ers on East Eighth avenue were given
permission to connect with this sewer.
The question was referred to the streets
and walks committee for their inveSti
cation.
