STATE HIGHWAYS
 GOvERNOR'S DREAM System of Roads Connecting County Seats Will Be
 Constructed.

Gov. Gillet, in a recent address on
 Tn this great and important work he State should do it's share and not leave the expense to be borne alone by the counties. It should build and maintain complete system of high ways running through the State and connecting the several county seats, and the large centers of poulation.
 For this purpose the last Legisla- ture passed an act submitting to the people of the State the question of lending the State for $1S,000,000 with which to build such system of high ways as 1 have mentioned. This ques- ton will be voted at the next general election and unless I mistake the signs manifested everywhere it will carry by a large majority.
 Tt will then be the duty of the next Legislature to enact laws necessary to carry out this great project so that the best results may be secured. l ia vor the bringing to this State of the of the most expert road builders of the country, so that the roads, when built, will not be experiments, merely, but will be constructed along scienti- fic lines, so our people will get the toat for their money.
 Where the road passes over high way already constructed by the coun- ty, which is up to the standard adopt ed by the engineer of the State, then the State should take it over as a State highway, and refund to the coun- ty what the road would have reason ably cost the State had it bult It Tn the first instance. The law passed last winter provides for this.
 With the building of State high ways traversing California, and with the construction of lateral roads by the counties connecting herewith this State will have a system of roads that no other has, and we will have done that which will greatly add to the wealth of our people and increase wonderfully our population. The in- creased wealth of the State directly caused by the construction of such a system will pay, and more than pay the indebtedness incurred, and cur people will never know that such a debt exists.
 The debt is nothing; the building up of our State is everything. We are here to do our part, and let us do it fearlessly and well. This common wealth will be- in time to come, an empire great in population and rich 1 in treasure. It is to be built by those who live here, and who come to make their homes here. We have our part

Editor Walton's Daughter in
Benson Wreck.

Editor W. B. Walton of Silver
City, was in town Monday 10 meet
his daughter, Eda Lou, who is at
tending the West Lake School at
Los Angeles, and who, in company
with her grand mother, Mrs. Ashen-
felter, was on the Inflated train
that was wrecked near Benson early
Sunday morning, but as they for
tunately occupied befths in the rear
Pullman, neither received the slight
est injury.
The ladies reached Deming the
same evening of the wreck and were
guests at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.

reached the city. 1t is unnecessary
to say our Silver City brother was
very much delighted to note the
safety of his people. The party re-
turned to Silver City Monday.

awful tragedy as follows.

A feature of the opening day of

A special effort is now being

Three men are dead, two injured
and ten are missing as the result
of a collision of a work train and
a freight on the Huntington and
Broadtop railroad near Riddles
burg this morning. The work
was caused by mistaken orders.
For several months strike has
been progressing and the trains
were in charge of strike-berakers
at the time of the accident.
Three bodies already have been
recovered and a wrecking crew is
working franticalIy to tear away
the splintered box cars with the
hope that some of the missing
men may yet be alive under them
II is almost certain that the ten
missing men are underneath the
wreck.

nounced today that as a result of
an entirely amicable arrange

has purchased all of Mr.. Miners

Mr.. Dege today, will be known

business as an exclusively Tacoma

Tacoma, its home for many years
past. 1t will have no branches
or connections with any outside
institution whatever. being purely

Mr.. Dege's residence in Tacoma

premacy as a great retail market

MATAMORAS, Mex, Sept. l.
The flood waters of a score of
smaller streams today are pouring
into the Rio Grande, causing the
river to overflow its banks and to
reach the highest stage ever
known in it's history.
Although the flood has not yet
reached its crest, already many
towns and hamlets have been
washed away, and the property
loss will run into the thousands.
Thousands of acres of culti-
waited land is inundated, and this
will further swell the damage.
Valley Under Water.
The San Juan valley is entire
ly under water, and the loss to
cattlemen will be heavy.
Harlingen and San Benito are
submerged, and it is feared that
number of persons have lost
their lives.
also has suffered heavily.
The villages of Camarge, Ia
cate and Corca have been COM
pletely swept away. The loss OF
lives in these towns, however
will not be heavy, as they re-
ceived warning in time to flee to
points of safety.
Rio Grande Valley Flooded
The Rio Grande valley is COM
pletely inundated for miles, and
scores have undoubtedly LOST
their lives in the seething waters
So great is the overflow that in
some places the Rio Grande is 80
miles wide.
Hundreds of heads of cattle
have been carried away down the
stream, and the river is filled
with the debris of hundreds OF
wrecked homes.
The American levees that pro-
tected the irrigation systems have
been swept away, and it will re-
quire the expenditure of thous-
ands to repair the loss.
No relief is in sight, as the
flood water from the smaller
streams continue to pour unabat-
ed into the Rio Grande.

Exploring Many Years


The American has been explor-
ing for a number of years, but
until his reported successful at
tempt to reach the pole he has
confined his efforts to exploring
the Antarctic regions.
He has written a number of
books on the frozen regions of the
earth, among his noteworthy con-
tributions to science being
Through the First Antarctic
Night" and ITO the Top of the
Continent" the latter being a
recitation of his expedition to
Mount Mckinley in Alaska.
Went North With Peary.
When Peary made his unsuc-
cessful try for the North Pole in
1912, Cook was the surgeon of
the exploring party, and there he
gained an extensive knowledge of
the Northland.
He was born at Callicoon, Sulli-
van county, N. Y, on June /,
1856, and with his father studied
medicine. He received his degree
of M. d. at the University of New
York in 1890, and two years later
was married.
For this work of exploration of
the frozen regions and his writ
ings, he has received numerous
decorations from different gov
|ernments, among which is the
"Order of Leopold" Belgian
decoration. The Royal Geograph-
ical society awarded him a silver
medal; and the Royal Society OF
Belgium presented him with q
Igold medal in honor Of his scien-
ltifical contributions, following
the Belgian Antarctic expedition
lof 1897, when a dash was made
to reach the South Pole.
He is the president of the Ex-
|plorers' club of New York.
Left In May, 1907.
DIR. Cooks expedition left
Halifax, N. s.. in May. 1907, to
make the dash to the goal that
has spelled an untimely death for
so many brave men, and the last
word received from him was dat
ed March IT, 1908, 40 miles
above Cape Thomas Hubbard. jr.,
the highest point of land in the
North Polar seas. Twilight was
just beginning, and he expected to
reach the Pole and return to
Etah, the base of supplies, In the
following September.
The entire absence of advices
from the party for more than a
year led to the grayest fears re-
garding fits safety, and in April OF
this year steps to form relief ex-
pedition were taken.
1t was the purpose of Cook to
travel with all speed during the
long Arctic night. so that he
would be In the best possible po-
sition to make the run across to
the Pole. Cook is a man OF in
domitable courage and iron con-
stitution. who recognizes no OBJ
stacle. but hia friends believed
that he had nliscalculated the
time Of his return, and that he
