John Hay.

Providence is very kind to John
Hay-and. incidentally, to thesAmer-
lean people in restoring him to
health just at the time and just in
the place when and where he can do
the most good.
Mr.. Hay has singular habit of
getting i'll when there is nothing of
special import to engage his attention,
and of sitting up and taking notice
just at the particular stage of the
game when it seems to be worth
while for him to take hand.
When Mr.. Hay sailed from home
he had the sympathy Of the Amer
lean people in his affiietion-to tell
the truth. we were a little selfish in
wishing him a speedy and complete
restoration to vigorous health and
usefulness-and there were those
among us whose faith was SO strong
that they confidently believed their
prayers for his recovery would be
answered Just about the time when
John Hay in Europe would be worth
more to America than he could pos
sibly be at home.
Hay is now IN Paris: he will prob
ably visit London, and Paris, London.
and Hay will have the burden of in
itiating the inevitable negotiations for
peace between Russia and Japan.
John Hay belongs to the American
people and We are proud of him. He
IS probably the greatest diplomat we
have ever produced. He is not spec
tacular, but he is effective His as
sociation with the intimate work
ings of the Government and with our
public policy runs back to the days
of Lincoln. One Of the best things
Mckinley ever did was to secure his
services for the Department of Stale.
and Roosevelt has done himself honor
in retaining him.
Some time ago the enemies of Mr..
Roosevelt circulated calumny
against him to the effect that he had
quarreled with AIr. Hay. The rumor,
perhaps, had no more foundation than
the alleged resem biance Of Mr.. Roose-
welt to Kaiser Wilhelm and the i'm
puted desire To emulate the Kaiser s
act of dropping the pilot, Prince Bis
marcH. by dispensing with John Hay.
But time has nailed that untruth, and
the people have the proud satisfaction
OF knowing that the two big Ameri-
cans, Roosevelt and Hay, can and
! will work together for the public
welfare. They will not be separated
If the desire OF the people has any
weight with either one OF them.

going to push it on anyone. And so
he has not subscribed. and has not
been interested, as a shareholder, and
has too often not even been enrolled
as friend 'on the outside"
In the future, let the gentlemen
who manage such causes as the audi
torium, the Fairgrounds, and the city
gardens devote more time to us 81
citizens. We will return the compli-
ment. And the city viii be vastly
benefited.

FOUR CENT RAILROAD FARES
Will Be the Passenger Rates in Wy.
oming-Round Trip Tickets May
Be Withdrawn Entirely.

Cheyenne, Wyo, May Adjective
this month, the Union Pacific Railway
reduced passenger fares in Wyoming
from 5 cents mile to cents. An
effort was made by members Of the
last legislature to reduce railroad
fares to three cents a mile, but a
strong lobby defeated the measure 1t
is intimated that all round trip tickets
will be withdrawn from sale. At
present round trip tickets are one and
one-half fare, which under the five
cent tariff Is equivalent to 3-4 cents
a mile, so that If round trip tickets
are withdrawn the reduction from 5
cents to cents a mile Is in reality an
increase of one-quarter cent mile in
all cases except where one-way tick
cts were bought.

FLOOD LOSSES GREAT.
The Damages to Farmers in the Mesil.
la Valley Near Berino Will Alone
Amount to Over $1,000
ecial to the New Mexican.

Special to the New Mexican.
Berino, N. NJ, May 4.-The Rio
Grande has been on a rampage here
for a week. The loss is hard to esti-
mate. A mild estimate would place
the losses at $4,000 If the river does
not fall at once Over $50 cars of hay
was within ten days of harvesting. The
seed sowed would amount to almost
as much in money value while the
wheat headed and heading. is beaten
down by the food. Ruin stares many
In the face. About two thousand acres
of crops are now under water and
more are threatened. The overflow
ed district includes practically all that
was overflowed last fall and an equal
additional acreage.
Berino on the hill has received big
impetus in population, the flood hav-
ing driven all the people from the low
lands. Most of these people own lots
In the hill town and they have decided
to build on them and avoid the neces-
sity of moving each year, as they
have had to do for the past few years,
from their homes in the valley. The
river is falling slightly now, but the
crops will be a total loss, as the
ground was already too wet and this
last invasion will settle the prospects
for good.

n distance of nearly 200 miles. The
only structure that withstood the flood
is the Animas Street bridge in this
city.
E. C. Murphy. an engineer of the re-
clamation service. spent several days
here looking over the flood situation
and compiling a report Of the damage
done. He states that immense stor-
age reservoirs for the flood waters are
the only things which can save this
country from overflow when the rains
set in. and that the dyking and dredg'
ing of the river channel, giving 1t a
straight course through this city. Is
the only method by which Trinidad
can be protected permanently from
damage by floods.

PLACER GOLD STRIKE.
Made by TWO italians in Colorado,
Near New Mexico Line-Ciaims
Taken by Durango People.

Durango, Colo, May 4.-The new
placer gold strike, which has been
kept dark for some two weeks, now
comes to the front with surprising de
velopments. The prospects are that
it will prove to be the largest placer
strike ever made in Colorado.
The find was made by two brothers
Italians, by the name of Cerino, while
digging well on a ranch nine miles
southeast of Durango. near the New
Mexico line. They had sunk the well 35
feet when they encountered a
flow of water of about 100 gallons per
minute, which brought up quantities
of gravel. Having been experienced
placer miners, they remembered that
gold had once been found nearby and
they started to test the gravel. In
two washtubs of it they produced a
nugget worth $3.50 This nugget was
shown in Durango and John G. Herr
an assayer, formed company to pros.
pect the find. They found that the
gold ran very evenly in the gravel
which produces about one cent q
pound, or from SIT to $40 per ton. The
prospectors are now working the find
and have secured options on 5000
acres of land surrounding the we'll
Several shafts are being sunk. The
ground in the vicinity Of the well has
been staked for radius of three
miles by people from Durango.

last night by unknown parties and
$1375 in money was taken. Nitro.
glycerine was the agent used and the
safe was completely wrecked, the
door being blown across the room and
almost through the wall at the rear of
the office.
There is absolutely no clew to the
perpetrators of the deed and the only
things in the Office this morning which
were not there last night at closing
time were a piece of burned fuse and
a heavy crowbar, evidently brought in
from the railroad yards adjoining the

SAVED BY NARROW MARGIN.
wheIms the Town of Holbrook
in Arizona.

Holbrook, Ariz., May 4.-The flood
waters of the Little Colorado River
reached the highest here at o'clock
this morning and began slowly reced-
ing. The damage to Holbrook will be
slight but the town was saved by a
narrow margin, the river cutting with.
in ten feet of the residences. The wat
ers are still wearing away the banks
next to the town, however, and all
hands are today trying to form rip
rap of wool bags filled with sand. At
1 o'clock this morning, the Little Colo
RADIO, normally stream of insignifi-
cant proportions, was a raging torrent
four and a half miles wide and filled
to the edges with debris of all descrip-
tions from the valley above. The dam
age to the valley through which the
flood came will reach hundreds of
thousands of dollars The loss to st.
Johns community, where most of the
damage was yesterday, is estimated at
from $500, 900 to $250,000, including
the loss of the dam which was con-
structed at a great expense. The
damage at Woodruff, below st. Johns,
where the second dam was carried
away, is estimated at 100000. So far
as known there has been no loss OF
life except one Mexican who was
drowned at ST. Johns. The warning
sent ahead of the food undoubtedly
saved many.
