The new juvenile home and
sheriff's residence at the northwest
corner of the courthouse square,
built at a cost of S14,400, has just
been completed and is ready for
occupancy. The building was ac-
cepted by the county commission
ers at their last meeting. The
juvenile officials have been located
in their new quarters for several
days but the work of moving and
fitting out the home with the ne
cessary furniture is not yet COM
pleted. 4.
AS there are constantly from six
to 10 children in the custody of
the matron, and more coming and
going almost daily, the care of
them has become an important
part of the county work.
The influence of the CHEEKY at.
mosphere of the new home is ex-
pected to aid materially in Undue
ing erring youngsters to turn over
a new leaf.

ANOTHER EAGLE
VICTIM

Stories of eagles carrying off
children are becoming common,
The latest is from the north.
S wooping down on barge
load of children, a huge American
eagle picked up little four year old
Carrie Chisholm in his talons. at
Eagles Nest, Alaska, and carried
her off to his mountain nest. For
three weeks searching parties
hunted high and low through the
mountainous country, and finally
captured the big eagle, and in the
nest found the bruised and man
gled body of the child.
John Kalem of Seattle was near
the barge at the time the eagle
made his raid, and he organized
and directed the searching party
of II Indians. He paid these In
dams $500 to conduct the search.
and when the captive eagle was
brought in by the Indians he took
1t, put it In a crate and shipped it
to Seattle on the Humboldt. The
big bird is to be seen there every
day in the public market.

UNION LABOR JUDAS
MAKES HIS OFFER

CLEVELAND, o., Sept. pa
Cleveland company is again ready

get the consents of all property
owners on the line of the proposed
canal, to have their houses moved
for couple of years to another
part of town.
But suppose some men were to
come and build dixie around the
block in which you live, and into
the built up enclosure were to turn
the business end of a 33 inch pipe
belching ocean water and sand?
How would you like that? How
would you like to put your house
and sidewalk on stills anywhere
from seven to II feet high, and to
live over a miniature lake until
such time as the salt water seeped
off and the deposit of sand was
sufficient to raise the level to the
required height?
That is what the people in Gal
vestop'S grade raising area had to
go through. That is the way the
boats did the work. Six times a
dayleach ship would go out into the
bay, suck up $50 cubic yards of
sand, come poking back into the
canal, couple on to mile or so of
iron pipe, and then cough the sand
through the pipe into a road, a va
cant lot or under John Smith
house. Now everything is done ex-
cept filling up the canal.

was difficult task in more ways
than one.
In looking at results it is hard
to say what challenges the admira-
ton most-the diplomacy which in
duced the owners of 2156 houses to
elevate their structures at their
own expense, without legal action
or suits for damages against the
municipality; or the ingenuity of
the engineers in devising an am
phibious kind of boat, capable of
digging sand at sea and delivering
it direct at some point a full mile
from the place where the ship tied
up.
With these boats, built in Ger
many, all the grade raising was
done. But before they could oper-
ate there had to be big canal
some three miles long, dug from
the bay into the midst of that part
of the city where the filling was to
be done. And before the canal

Special Correspondence to The Press
GALVESTON, Tex, Sept. "a
On September 8 Galveston marked
the eighth anniversary of the great
storm by the completion of huge
public works which will make i'm
possible the wreck and ruin and
the frightful loss of life which fol-
lowed the insweep of that historic
tidal wave. The city is now safe.
Built on a low, fiat island there
was nothing there to stay the wa
ters as they came, cyclone driven,
up the gulf. In consequence, they
picked up wooden buildings all
along the shore, knocked one
against the other as if they had
been toy houses, swept through the
city streets and did not stop until
they poured into the bay on the
inner side. The city was in ruins.
Six thousand people lost their lives.
What to do? That was the ques-
ton which came eventually as the
sequel to the storm. Was the city
doomed? Was the temporary blow
to business to be the end? Was it
no longer safe to live in Galveston,
and was property no longer to have
value here?
A board of engineers was called
In to help frame the answer. They
were the most distinguished engi-
neers in the land: Brigadier Gen
eral II. M. Robert, U. S. A., retired;
Alfred Noble and H. c. Ripley.

HOW THE SAND FROM THE
OCEAN WAS SHOT INTO THE
CITY BY PIPE.


OCEAN WAS SHOT INTO THE
CITY BY PIPE.
Today Galveston points proudly
to these difficulties overcome, and
these tasks fulfilled. The state OF
Texas helped; the federal govern
ment did it's part; but the weight
of the undertaking fell on the peo-
pie of the city. And for the spirit
which they have shown in Crap
ping with the almost hopeless dlf-
ficulties of the situation, these peo-
pie deserve the utmost condemna-
ton.
A new city has risen in place OF
the old 1t has a new and better
government, new and better pave
ments in it's streets; new water
works and sewers, new lights, he"
paint, new credit, new commerce
in the harbor, new railroads COM
ing in, a new regulation OF saloons,
a new moral tone-in short it is
regenerated city.
For two years after the storm the
population of Galveston decreased.
At one time it is thought to have
reached a minimum of $1,000. For
four years at least the population
has been growing, and it is now
about $4,000. Galveston harbor
clears three times the shipping
which it did before the storm.
During the past year Galveston
exported merchandise valued at
S161,352,2O1. In exports the city
