ENSLEY GETS NEW
TRADE IMPETUS

Bnsley, July Especial THE official
statement given out by the Southern Iron
and Steel company that the plant at Ems
ley would be put in running order has
given an impetus to business conditions
and has given much satisfaction to the
people of Ensley generally. While it is
understood that II will take several weeks
to make the necessary repairs it indicates
that prosperity is returning and that
many idle men will be employed. The
plant will employ, when running at its
full capacity, about 1000 men. which means
much to the citizens of Bnsley as judg-
ing from past conditions most of the
employees of the rod and wire mill live and
trade in the city. The mill will employ
about 500 skilled mechanics and laborers,
which will materially help the business
conditions and which will have a decided
effect on the prosperity of the city Mr..
Brooks, the resident superintendent who
is familiar with the requirements of the
plant, will in a few days commence the
necessary repairs and 1t is expected the
plant will be ready to resume operations
by September /.

GREAT DAMAGE BY
MEXICAN STORMS

Monterey, Mex, July 6.-With dam
age of three quarters of a million dol
lars as a result of recent rainfall and
passenger train service still lamentably
crippled, the railroad situation in north
ern Mexico Is believed to be in danger
of another setback. There was anoth err
heavy rain In the vicinity of Villaldama
this afternoon, but no advices of dam
ages have been received.
Adpices from Sabinas, Hidalgo, con-
tinue meagre owing to the fact that all
communication with this town is COM
pletely destroyed, but it is reported tn Q
town has been entirely wiped out and
that property loss, If not loss of life,
will be great. No trains are arriving
over the Mexican National and 1t is
feared that there has been repetition
of floods between here and Reata.
According to adyices received here
early today the river which skirts the
northern section of the town of Viii
laldama has already left It's banks. in
undating that section for three blocks
In width. Fifty houses had been
swept away and 100 others were I'M
der water and crumbling. Several hun
dred are homeless. To the north of
the town the railroad station is under
water and will probably be destroyed
while In the valley, several thousand
acres are flooded.
The first train over the National rail-
road to reach this city from Larado
since July l arrived last night and
left for Mexico City. This train left
Laredo Sunday evening and had been
en- route so hours.
Passengers told thrilling stories of
conditions throughout the flooded dis
trict. In many places the tracks has
been raised on ties and even then the
water rushed over the track, often
above the axles of the cars
IT n stated at the Offices Of the Ma
tionaI line in this city that it will be
several days, If not weeks, before trains
are running on regular schedules.
All train service on the Matamoras
branch has been abandoned for the
present, efforts being directed toward
getting the main lines in condition.

This WOMAN SETS
A GOOD EXAMPLE

Los Angeles, July 6-Mrs Lillian o.
Hoag has broken all records for fasting
abstaining from food for 40 days, The
highest record previously was tfat OF
Eta Priscilla Grove, Chicago school
teacher, who Stunned food Al days year
ago.
Mrs. Hoag's fast was broken yesterday
afternoon when she "dined' with her
brother on a meal of a slice of cante-
loupe. This long period of fasting was
due to an illness the woman had hoped
to overcome by refraining from food of
any kind. The result was more than was
hoped for. Freeing herself of one ailment
the woman rid herself of others.
