eighteen miles to Globe and this will be the length of the transmission line. At Globe a station will be installed at which the power will be delivered and by transforming it send it out from Globe into the surrounding mines.
 MT. Clark and his associates will be able to furnish very cheap power. They have estimated that 5000 horse power is now used in Globe and 1t fs their theory that this will double as soon as electricity is placed in general use. The general growth and devel- opment of he country will also tend to increase the market for their prod uet one advantage is that for eight months of the year there will be enough water in the river to manufac- ture more than 75 per cent over the minimum the company is planning to manufacture. The plant will repre- sent when complete an investment of $3OOO, 900.
 Mir. Clark has not by any means always been mining and promoting. He when a very young man was in the employ of the Dubuque Telegraph and still holds to this day a copy of the first issue circulated, which now is of considerable value. MT. Clark is of the opinion that the southwest will sec big boom during the next thirty to ninety days.

 shipping suffered severely. Among the steamers sunk were the river boats J. r. Schuh. Mary E. Staples, Mary s. Blees. Cana, Overton, Hattie B. Moore and City of Camden. the United States revenue cutter Alert and many other smaller craft. It is feared that the crews of these boats have been lost.
 The city has been placed under the control of the militia. Nobody is per hltted on the streets except newspaper men and persons wearing badges Ap- prehension is felt for the suburban towns, as it is feared they have been obliterated. The chances are that the loss of life on Dauphin island is heavy. Many fishermen live there and in other outlying marshy districts, and from these no tidings have been received.
 The suffering of Mobile is severe The annihilation of transportation fla clllties has shut off all supplies. and unless help reaches the city soon. great distress will result. Every church in Mobile was damaged. Mobiles shin ping suffered more than anything else. Many of the river boats are now beach, ed or sunken, all complete wrecks.
 All the wharves from Frascita street. at the extreme south end of the city. as far up the river as Three mile creek. are totally wrecked. This includes also the new Mobile and Ohio docks and the Louisville & Nashville docks.
 Photographic communication is para lyzed, with poor prospects of a wire for several days. The electric light and street railway companies, and, in fact. all business has been suspended. Much fear is entertained for Morgan. where the government quarantine sta ton is located.
 In this city may persons and much live stock were rescued only after heroic efforts. Provisions are almost exhausted. Restaurants feed many, but have no supplies on hand
 Words cannot describe the terrors of the storm. Between 6 D. m. Thursday and noon Friday trees fell and crushed hundreds of roofs. Through the streets, carried by the terrific wind. were hurled hundreds of pieces of slate, tin roofing. shingles and all kinds of debris. Blinds were torn from their fastenings and windows smashed as though made of paper. Many people were injured and cut by the flying slate and tin. The railroads have started wreckers out to clean up and repair the tracks, but their task is herculean.
 The number of dead in this city now numbers seventy-f1ve.

 When the gale was at it's highest and women and children were running frantically about the streets in dark ness, an alarm of fire added to the confusion. The fire started in the Pitt mill, near the business district, and the horses of the fire department refused to go out in the weather. With tin roofs, trees and wires falling around them, the firemen dragged their hose wagons by hand to the blaze, and after hours of work controlled it.

MORE TALK
ON BRIDGE

The new Havermale street bridge
which is now on the Great North
ern cars at an expense to the city
of $40 day may be unloaoded after
all. 1t Is understood the matter will
come up for discussion when the
board of public works gets to-
gether this afternoon.
The city council some time ago
instructed the board to leave the
bridge on the cars until it was
definitely decided when it could be
moved into place either over Hang
man creek or on Howard street,
over the Spokane river. AS there
may not be definite action for some
time the board will in all proba.
bility unload the great steel pieces,
figuring the expense of moving at
later date as not so much as If
the steel is left loaded, until action
Is taken.

BUNKER HAS
quit

Frank Bunker, sanitary inspector
this morning handed in his resigna-
ton to take effect September 1.
The resignation came as a surprise
and was due to the continual trou-
BILE arising from the charges filed
against Bunker by P. Saffron, the
Main avenue clothier, whom Bunk
err is said to have abused while ar
resting. Charges against Bunker
were filed with the police commits
sion two weeks ago but the com
mission decided it had no jurisdic-
ton. Yesterday charges were filed
with the board of health and when
Bunker heard of it he resigned.
Bunker says he was asked to re-
sign on account of politics, but he
would not say who asked him. II
is said that Richard II. Hughes is
slated for Bunker's job through a
political deal.

CERACHTY IS STILL after
INSPECTION CRAFT

Mr.. Geraghty discovered the or
dinance, or resolution, which dele
gated this inspection business to
the insurance companies represen-
tative, and after cogitation came to
the conclusion that the city had
no authority to farm out" this
inspection matter. In the interest
of the property owner in question,
he dispatched a letter to General
Manager Huntington of the Wash
ington Water Power company, in
forming Mr.. Huntington that his
company was a common carrier Of
electricity under its franchise, and
had no right to refuse to turn on
electricity on John Smiths proper
ty because of non-inspection by any
representative of the underwriters.
Mr., Hughes, the inspector, is ex-
pected to be in town shortly. Mr..
Geraghty thinks that the matter
will be adjusted so that the city
will do the inspecting and that the
fee charged the owner will be done
away with.
