B. Barton, the round-house foremae
in this city. and T. Booth, the master
of machinery at Amarillo, returned
to the city last evening from Carls-
bad and report the good news that
Carlsbad was untouched by the flood
waters. They report that the Dig
Lake Arthur dam, owned by the Pc
cos Irrigation Co., is still intact, but
that there is an immense volume OF
water above the dam.
The head gates on the Six Mic
Draw burst at 1870 Sunday night,
and the railroad bridge over the Pc
cos at Carlsbad was swept away,
and two county bridges went at The
same hour. The bridges fell shortly
before the head gate broke, and in
ten minutes after the gates gave
away there was a stream of water
in the Pecos twelve feet high. The
engine was near the bridge when the
flood descended, and it made a quick
retreat north and escaped damage.
The electric light plant near the
river and the cotton gin house were
swept down the Pecos after the mead
gate broke. So far the town of Carls-
bad has not been damaged in the
least. but if it were not for the i'm
mems carrying capacity of the Pc
cos the town would have been swept
off the map. The damage to the three
bridges will be about $4,000.

Exciting Experience.

One of the exciting incidents of
the flood occurred Friday night. Tom
Heffner started to take Charles Bond
to his home in the southwest ga I
of the city. Bond got on the horse be-
hind Heffner. After the horse mad
turned the corner at Second street
and Richardson avenue he stepped
into a hole over his head, and off
came Bond. He swan out and came
back to town saying he was not a
bit excited.

Jenkinson Was a Hustler.

William Jenkinson, a prominent
lumberman of Dallas, who has been
held by the flood since Wednesday,
left on the special this afternoon. He
faced the situation in a sensible way
and went out and solicited business
every day. AS a consequence of mis-
labors he sold three cars of lumber
on three different days. He good IA
turedly guyed his fellow travellers
who we're around the hotel bemaon-
ing the situation.

Amusing Incident.

One of the most amusing incidents
of the flood occurred last evening ut
the Grand Central when Reclamation
Engineer w. NJ. Reed appeared at the
hotel with a cartoon of L. K. Mccall
fey and ]. w. Stockard who went to
Torrance several days ago to go over
the proposed automobile route from
this city. Mr.. Reed did not explain
the identity OF the cartoonist, but it
certainly was a good one. 1t showed
Stockard pushing the auto through
the water and mud, and McGaffey
pulling it for dear life. The cartoon
had the following wording: "Lates )
from the front. This beats railroad
ing" Signed. McGaffey.
The following wording is coming
from the mouth of McGaffey. %
X-H-A-P-" There is a sign III
pointing to Roswell and to Torrance
A chicken has taken refuge on the
top of McGafey's head. The picture
will be placed in a handsome frame
and presented to McGaffey.

REPAIRING THE STREETS.
Work Is Being Pushed Rapidly on :he
Washed Out Places.

NachS0 wv NaSCos
The streets are assuming a normal
condition SO far as mud and waite
are concerned, and the damage will
not be owe what the city engineer
and the mayor predicted. The streets
have been washed down to the gravel
in many places and in some cases
this is a benefit. Commissioner Pin
son has been busily engaged in fix
ing the crossings and things are TAX
ing on a passable condition. The
crossing at the corner Of Main and
Fifth streets leading to the depot
proved that it was built on a stone
foundation and was built 10 stay. rhe
dirt was washed out on both sides,
but the crossing was not faxed by
the flood. 1t is a fitting illustration
OF the wisdom OF doing things well.
One OF the worst damaged crossings
is at the corner of Pecos avenue and
Fifth streets. The work on the streets
will be pushed as rapidly as possible
and in a few days they will appear
as if nothing had happened.

FEEDING FOR SWEET HAMS.
How an Illinois Farmer Produces
Pork That Is Sweet, Wholesome
and Healthful.

A northwestern gentleman visiting an
Illinois farmer who killed and cured his
own meat was so captured, by the SUI
perior aroma and flavor of the, ham
served at the farmers table that he was
led to inquire his method of feeding,
which was given as follows:
"The ration is simple. 1t consists OF
corn. either shelled or on the cob,
whichever is the most convenient, and
when conditions permit, the corn is al
ways soaked. In addition to the corn he
gave a plentiful supply Of swill, made by
adding % pounds of linseed cake (oil-
meaD to the barrel of water"
He stated that he had fed hogs in this
way for IS years. They took on flesh
faster, were always healthy, and had
never had a case of hog cholera. He
was surprised at the simplicity Of ire
method and the cause of the excellence
the hog meat If this method were
universally followed venison and fowl
would be discarded, and the meat of the
once .despised hog would soon become a
delicacy more frequently seen on every
table in the land 1t is self-evident
that the reason for hog meat being un-
der the ban in olden times was the fact
that hogs were scavengers by cOmpul-
sion. Driven to eat the most repulsive
garbage to sustain life. their meat was
affected thereby, and their meat was no
doubt unclean.-Midland Farmer,

WAR HAS ITS SURPRISES.
Unexpected Results of Conflicts Be-
tween Great Nations Have
Often Come to Pass.

What novelty or what surprise will
this east Asian war produce? There NAV
be more, yet the chances would seem to
be that one will be forthcoming. as in
each of the many modern wars, says the
New York Tribune of recent date. Ma
poleon surprised all Europe with the
tiexibility OF his military organizations
and the celebrity of their movements. The
war OF 1872 surprised the world with
an amazing series of sea victories. due
to improved navigation and the sighting
OF cannons. Our civil war revolutions
ized naval warfare with ironclads and
turrets. The Eustro-P russian war of
1866 brought forward the perfected
breech loader, while the great Franco
German war surprised the world with
the deadly potency of rapid-fire artil-
lery The Russo-Turkish war gave an
illustration at Pleyna of the value of the
spade, which enabled the thinned leg
ions or Osman to hold at bay and 10
repel with mighty slaughter the over
whelming myriads of the Russian army.
The boer war showed the efficiency Of
smokless powder and Iong-range arms.
and the need of open formation in bat
tie and great mobility of troops.
The present war ought, we should
think, to teach us some new lessons. The
value OF the torpedo, the torpedo boat
and the torpedo boat destroyer should
be more accurately demonstrated than
ever before. Whether the submarine
| boat will be used and it's efficiency as
certained is not yet known. Wireless
telegraphy had its first opportunity of
service in war. There is also a rare
chance to compare the relative values
of sea power and of land power. Nor
should we overlook the fact, on the one
hand, that the newest of civilized ma
lions and the first OF Asiatic nations to
enter the charmed circle of the great
powers is for the first time to show it's
capacity in great war, and, on the 9TH
er hand, that the European power which
is of all most populous, and which has
by the far the largest army, is now to
show whether it's military efficiency is
commensurate with its physical bulk.
| Already there have been some sur
prises. The Russians were surprised at
Port Arthur. The world has been sur
prised at the readiness and ag-
gressive energy of the Japanese
and at the apparent unreadiness
of Russia for contest for
which she was supposed to be particu-
| larly well prepared. But all these things
are merely opening fiourishes. The real
work of the war has not yet begun.
When it is we'll under way and by the
time it is completed what surprises will
the world have had ard what new les
sons in the most terrible of the arts shall
we have learned?

CANCER CAUSED BY BURNS.
Prevalence of the Malady Among ths
Natives of Kashmir. Thus
Accounted For.

Jonathan Hutchinson, during MS re-
cent trip to India, made some interest
ing observations on disease, and he COM
ments uponthem in his usual inter esting
way, says the Philadelphia Medical Rec
ord. In the Polyclihic for May appears
an editorial on the cause of cancer
which, if we mistake not, is from Mr..
Hutchinson's pen, for it has all the ear
marks of his style and of his turn of
thought The writer of the editorial
calls attention to the peculiar form Of
cancer that prevails in Kashmir-the
yale of Cashmere" of TIE poets. This
variety of cancer is an epitholioma,
which is not peculiar in a historical
sense, but is merely of peculiar origin.
The site of the growth is either the alb
domen or the inside of the thigh. OF 20
cases reported by Elmslie as long ago
as 1866 four were in females and 16 IN
males.
DR.. Elmslie attributed the disease to a
curious local custom of the habitants
Of Kashmir. 1t seems that Kashmir,
which is an elevated valley among high
mountains, has a severe winter climate,
and the natives carry what is called a
kangri.
This is q small brazier, filled with
burning charcoal, and is carried under
meath the clothing. 1t is of earthenware,
protected by wickerwork When the
bearer is in the erect position the kangri
hangs on the abdomen, but when sitting
it is placed between the thighs. In
Kashmir no man, woman or child thinks
it possible to be comfortable in winter
without a kangri under the clothes.
Other writer's have described this Pc
culiar custom, and a reference is made
to it in the British encyclopedia.
Recently some valuable additions to
our knowledge of kangri cancer have
been made by DR.. Neve, the head of a
mission stationed at Kashmir He proves
that the disease is common, for he re-
fers to nearly 500 cases. These cases
point individually to local irritation
frequently repeated burns from the kan
gri-as the cause of the disease. In this
respect the subject Of kangri cancer
offers nothing new, for the fact that
cancer originates in local irritation is
generally accepted.
