DISASTROUS
EARTHQUAKE
Seattle Woman Says United States
Viii Be Destroyed BY Fearful
Upheava Tomorrow.

Seattle, Wash, Oct. 14.--Tomorrow
an earthquake will utterly destroy the
entire United States, after which a
disastrous fire will rage for thirteen
days in order to purify the atmos.
phere. This is the dire prediction
made by Miss Mae Law, formerly a
school teacher, but now member of
a peculiar religious sect known as the
Apostolic Saints. Miss Law, with a
party of other Saints, sailed some
time ago for China in order to be out
of harms way when the impending
calamity shall wipe the domain OF
Uncle Sam from the map. In China
the Saints will rely on prayer for
shelter, food and other necessaries of
life, and their friends here who do
not share their delusions are more
concerned about the fate of the Saints
than their own.

United States, to be in readiness TO
testify before Examiner Ferris either
today or tomorrow in the govern

whom more than $32OOOO,0OO was
loaned by the Standard Oil Company
of New York last year over and above
the money loaned or transferred to

1t is likely that no other member of

that was all he knew about them.
Proved An Unsatisfactory Witness.
Brainard was asked concerning

"HELLO" LINE in
ESTANCIA VALLEY
Sunshine Valley Public Utility Com
pany Files Articles Of Incorpora-
ton-Capitalized at $4,000.

Within the near future Santa Fe
will be connected by long distance
telephone with Estancia Willard and
other points in the Estancia valley.
That this will prove of great benefit
to the business interests of the towns
afforded this means of communica-
| ton and bring them closer together
| in their business relations goes with
out the saying.
Articles of incorporation have been
| filed in the territorial secretary's Of
| flee by the Sunshine Valley Public
Utility Company which has for one of
| it's objects the operation of local and
long distance telephone lines in the
Estancia valley towns. Other pur-
poses of the new corporation as out
lined in its charter are to operate elec-
trio light and power plants and water
works systems. The total authorized
capital stock is placed at $25,000.
The company is composed of some
Of the most prominent business men
in the Estancia valley. DR.. w. A..
Wilson is the president, DR.. c. D. Ot-
tosen, secretary, f. P. Davies, treas
urer and H. A. Hart, general mana
ger DR.. Wilson is proprietor of a
drug store at Willard and is also en-
gagged in the practice of the medical
profession. DR.. Ottosen is also a
physician who has had many years Of
experiences in several eastern states
and is looking for location in the
Estancia valley to practice his profess
sion. Mr.. Davies is cashier of the
Torrance County Savings. Bank and is
also an attorney at law. Mr. Hart
who is the general manager of the
company, is a son of Mrs. H. w. War
ner, manager of the Office of the Pos
tai Telegraph Company in this city,
and who was for some time located
at Texico. He is an expert electrician
and has had several years experience
in telephone operation.
1t is the intention of the company
to proceed at once with the construc-
ton of telephone toll lines and ex-
changes throughout the Estancia val
ley and extending the system in to
, Santa Fe. The materials to be used
will be of the very best obtainable
and it is said the exchanges to be put
in will be as fine as any in the Terri
tory outside of those operated by the
Bell companies. One exchange is al
ready in operation at Willard.
The company has entered into nego-
tiations to connect with the Colorado
Telephone Company which will give 1t
telephone communication with all
points in northern and western New
Mexico, Ell Paso, Texas, and all Colo
RADIO points reached by the Colorado
Telephone Company.
