PECOS VALLEY
GROWING RAPIDLY
Hon. L. Bradford Prince Talks Inter.
estlngIy Of His Recent Trip to
Roswell and Carlsbad.

Hon. l.. Bradford Prince returned
sunday from the southern part of the
territory after an absence of five DAYS
during which he made the commence.
ment address at the Military Institute
at Roswell on Wednesday evening of
last week, delivered lecture at that
place on Thursday. and another lee.
ture al Carlsbad on Friday.
He speaks in the highest terms of
the rapidity Of growth in that part OF
the territory ard was particularly i'm.
pressed with Portales, Elda and Ken.
ma on the Pecos Valley railroad and
with Clovis and the new town of Fort
Sumner, as well as with Willard on
the Belen cutoff.
The beauty Of the streets in Ros-
we'll with their long lines of large
shade trees and over forty miles of
cement sidewalks, naturally attracts
everyone; and the certainty Of a full
supply Of water, now that the govern.
ment has taken charge of the rriga-
tion enterprises in the lower valley
has given new impetus to Carlsbad.
He has much to say Of the extreme
hospitality of the people of all of that
section. but adds that 1t is little
strenuous for quiet man to attend
five entertainments In one day be-
sides driving nearly forty miles up
and down the valley and lecturing in
the evening, as was the case at Carls-
bad.
The whole of eastern New Mexi-
co had the benefit of fine rain on
Friday night and through part OF Sat
urday, which will be of infinite value
to those who are newly located in
that section Of the country.

SHORTAGE IN
CHURCH FUNDS
Presbyterian Home Missionary Board
Reports Deficit Of $4,000
Due to Several Causes.

Kansas City, May 26.-Every field
home missionary fork was considered
today by the General Assembly of the
Presbyterian church in the United
States. The board for the first time in
ten years reported debt Of more than
$4,000 but explained that this was
due to the absorption Of the fork of
the Cumberland branch of the church.
The financial panic is believed to
have been responsible for this fact al
so, as the increased gifts did not large
ly exceed the increased appropriations.
The General Assembly through It's
committee on colleges expressed its
gratitude to John D. Rockefeller and
Andrew Carnegie for their generous
gifts to Presbyterian colleges.

ANDREWS THE MAN

Colonel William Breeden Thinks. II
Would Be Serious Mistake to
Turn Him Down.

Colonel William Breeden, who was
a resident Of New Mexico for about
twenty-five years, serving as Its at
torney general for long time and al
so as chairman Of the Republican ter
ritorial central committee for many
years, and who is now a practicing at
torney in Brookline, Massachusetts,,
has addressed the following letter to
the New Mexican which, in view of
Colonel Breeden's associations WIKI
the territory and its people and the
fact that he still takes a very keen
interest in its affairs is published as
Of interest and timely. The letter
reads.
"Brookline, Mass.
MAY 10Th, 1908
"The New Mexican:
81 suppose the Republicans of the
territory will re-elect Delegate W. II.
Andrews. In my judgment 1t would
be serious mistake not to do SO.
While | am no longer a resident OF
New Mexico, | have not lost interest
in her welfare. There, was my home,
for more than half my life, and | ma
turally have watchful and hopeful in
terest in all that concerns it. New
Mexico never had a delegate with
equal acquaintance and influence and
who has secured SO much in Con-
gress. He is able, faithful and v!gi-
liant. A reelection will greatly
strengthen him and he will go back
with more power for usefulness than
he or any other delegate from the ter
ritory has ever had. The Republicans
will carry the country. Mr.. Taft will
probably be elected president and with
Mr.. Andrews to represent her. New
Mexico will receive the attention she
deserves.

this case was to be held before ref.

moment attorneys for the beautiful
child.wife announced that the case
would be dropped
When the case was brought it was
thought that it was but move upon
tire part Of counsel for Harry Thaw,
who is confined in the Mattawan asy-
lum, to secure his release The plan,
as exposed by the press. was to al
lege that Thaw was insane and then
fail to prove it, which would give
rise to action seeking his release from
the asylum.
Thaw was refused his freedom yes
terday on habeas corpus proceedings,
the judge before whom the case was
brought, deciding that Thaw was in
sane. This decision is thought to
have caused the dropping of the suit
by Mrs. Thaw as 1t is much mooted
question as to whether she was sin
cere about seeking a separation.
Mrs. Thaw has not visited her hus.
band since the filing of the divorce
proceedings. Should she visit him

Floods in Oklahoma
and Texas Worst
in Years
WATERS RAPIDLY RECED|NG
Railroad Traffic in Two
States Practically at
Standstill.

Guthrie. Okla, May 26.-The sun is
shining in Oklahoma today and the
flood Is fast receding. No additional
loss Of life has been reported and the
death roll stands at eight. With miles
OF tracks washed out and many bridg-
es damaged and destroyed, the rail-
roads are still demoralized. Train
service on many lines must remain
idle for several days yet. The damage
to crops and railroads is roughly esti.
mated at ten million dollars This Is
the cOstlest disaster ever sustained
either in Oklahoma or Indian Terri
tory or by the new state. There are
many great potato fields between Mus
kogee and Fort Gibson which are en-
tirely submerged. In West Guthrie,
where more than five hundred houses
were submerged, the water drained off
rapidly today. The bottoms, however,
are likely to be under water for many
days.
Worst Over at Dallas.
Dallas, Texas, May 26-After doing
damage estimated at over a million
dollars, drowning at least three per-
sons and rendering 1000 homeless in
Dallas, the Trinity river today Is
falling slowly. 1t Is believed when
the water has receded it will be found
that the number of deaths will be in
creased All the workmen who were
carried down with the Texas, and Pa
citic railroad bridge yesterday have
not been accounted for today. Frank
Edwards lost his life last night by
falling into the back water on McKin-
ney avenue in the residence district
The city is still without lights and

few street cars are being operated by
power furnished by private compa-
MES. All the railroads are practically

Fort Worth at Mercy Of Flood.
Fort Worth, Tex. May 26.---Wth
the waters of the Trinity river still
near the summit of this stream $
banks, another great volume of water
began pouring in from the west fork
Of this stream towards this city late
asst night. Early today the river was
rising at the rate of inches an hour
and with conditions as already pre-
vail, the outcome when the crest OF
the second rush of waters reach here
cannot be fortold. 1t is certain that
considerable property loss and great
suffering will result. From Sunday
night until noon yesterday the waters
of the river had been receding.
Last night the second crest which
should reach Fort Worth late today
began The number of dead so far
stands at ten. The railway situation
is but slightly improved and the loss
es to the various lines can safely be
place at one million dollars. A serious
situation has developed here in re-
gard to the water supply. The mains
are filled with black, muddy water un-
fit for drinking even after being boil
ed and settled. 1t may be week be-
fore the main water supply is restor-
ed.
