The committee in charge OF the
racing, and that In charge OF the eel
ebration OF Independence day held a
short session this forenoon, and it
was decided to hold the races tomor-
row afternoon. but to postpone all
the other events that were to have

next week. The races as planned will
be given on the grounds OF the Occur
d'Alene Driving club. Some addl-
tional features will be placed on the
program. and a handsome purse will
be given for each one of the events.
The action of the committee In
postponing the other events-such as
the log-rolling contest, the band con-
cert. and the spectacular illumina-
tion on the lake was taken because
Of the bad weather which has been
prevailing. 1t was feared that more
bad weather might be encountered

would not be sufficient time for the
publicity of the affair. 1t is the plan
Of the committee to add some more
events to the program. and to have Il.
occur either on July Is on the open
ing of the registration for the Occur
d'Alene reservation or on the day fol-
lowing. The Gentry brothers show
viii be in the city on July Is, and 1t
may be by reason OF this that the

MANY PERISH IN
MISSOURI FLOOD
PattOnsburg Completely Inundated
and Property Loss Is Heavy

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, July SAC
cording to the estimates made TODAY
with relation to the food In north
western Missouri from Is to 20 Deo-
pie were drowned, but it is believed
1nat when an accurate report can be
received of the conditions that the
number will be greatly in excess of
that. The fate Of the five men who
were dispatched to keep the drift
wood away from a railroad bridge
ana prevent 1t from being swept
by the food, is unknown. A search
ing party has secured the country for
them, but have found no trace Of
themi nor has any news with relation
to them been received. The bridge
which they were sent to protect was
carried away by the floods, and 1t IL
believed that the men were also car
ried away with it, and but little hone
Is entertained of finding them alive
-Four Missing at PattOnsburg.
The reports received say that four
people are missing in the town of
Pattonsburg, which is located on an
east branch of the Grand river. The
town is composed of a population of
about 5000 people and is completely
inundated. The destruction of prop
erty has been very heavy, and 1t is
thought that when full details of the
disaster are obtained that it will de-
velop that many people have persisted
and also that many are injured.
Rescuing Party In Danger.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-. July s.-The
rescuing party sent to the relief of
the wrecked Santa Fe passenger
train which yesterday plunged over
the embankment and into the Mar
ais Des Cyne river near Pomona is
stalled near the scene of the wreck
today, unable to make any further
progress because of the floods. The
rescuers are in grave danger as they
are practically cut on from all ave
nues of escape by the water.
Fifteen Drowned, IA Missing.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo, July S.-Re-
ports received here from all parts of
the flooded districts in the state say
that Is persons are known to have
lost their lives by drowning. and thai
IA persons are missing, and 1t is be-
lieved that those also have persisted.
The report says that IL cities have
been affected by the food and that
the damage to property is appalling.
Scores are Homeless.
SPRINGFIELD, Mo-, July s.
Scores of persons are reported as
homeless and also many drowned as
a result of the flooding of this city
this morning by the Jordan river.
The flood swept through the heart of
the city and many persons sought to
escape by clinging to the branches Of
trees, but before a rescuing party
could reach them they were either
swept from their position by the flood
or became exhausted and drowned.
1t is estimated that the loss of prop
erty will reach S750,OO0.

Contractor Turner Who Has
Just Returned From New

Work Will Be Completed
in Four Months.

Hotel San Carlos is the name. Pen
sacola is the place. January /, 1910,

lessee.
The Pensacola Hotel company held
meeting last night in the Chamber
of Commerce rooms to select a name
for Pensacola's new half million dol
lar hotel, the construction of which
is to begin this month. President
Muldon announced that the directors
had recommended the name San Car
los, and this name was therefore
submitted either for adoption of re-
lection by the stockholders.
The recommendation seemed to
meet with general approval. for the
motion TO adopt IL was carried Unan-
imously and many expressions of sat
isfactiOn were heard over the selec-
ton. The name San Carlos is typi--
cal of Pensacola and of Florida, II
suggests at once the romance and
chivairy of the early Spanish DAYS
and it is distinctive in that there is
probably no other hotel of. similar
name in the United States Fort San
Carlos, the little, ancient Spanish fort
at the entrance to Pensacola harbOf.
and Hotel San Carlos, the magnificent
hotel in the center of Pensacola's
business section. will help combine
to make the city itself one of the
greatest tourist resorts of the south.
Contractor Turner Talks.
Contractor Chas. H. Turner, who
returned yesterday from New York
city, says that he viii start immedi-
ate1y on the work OF clearing the hotel
site. and that he expects to have the
entire frame work of the structure
complete within four months.

neT. will be the equal of the best hO-
tells in the country and it will be SUI
perior to most of them"
The hotel is to be completed and
ready to open by Jan. /, next.
