WATER.

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
MONTERREY, Mex, Sept. a.
News from the flooded district
today indicate that the property
loss will greatly exceed the early
estimates.
Reports from Tampico and the
surrounding country say that the
conditions there are much worse
than have been reported. A sub
urb of Labarra has been almost
completely wiped out, and num-
Der of people are missing.
A bar has formed across the
harbor entrance, and a number of
boats on the outside are unable
to enter and discharge their car
goes. The towns on the Mexican
side of the Rio Grande are today
feeling the full brunt of flood.
Arguelles, Saynosa, Corales,
Camario and San Miguel are COM
pletely inundated while several
other towns are practically de-
stroyed.
The Masa river is overlooking
it's banks and a wide strip of
fertile valley is completely under
water.

TALK TELEPHONE

For consideration of the matters of
misunderstanding or points upon
which the Mutual Telephone Company
and the Supervisors seem unable to
agree, there will be a meeting at 3
p. m. next Tuesday, at the City Hall,
when the Merchants Association and
the Board will hold discussion.
The consideration will be relative
to the placing of the City and County
fire alarm and police wires in the
Company's conduits; especially bear
ing on the agreement" which was
not agreed on between the telephone
company and the Board, since the
telephone company wanted to be re-
leased from digging inspection fees
and some of the Board members
would not listen to proposition Of
thus releasing the company in return
for looking after City wires.

f. T. Collins, the member Of the Salt
Lake City lodge, who spent some time
in Hawaii last spring, writes:
The committee reports unfav-
orably for the excursion for next

sue a guarantee of $36750 II

the Pacific Mail s. S. Co. will run
an excursion to the islands on their
own responsibility, and with
large reservation for Salt Lake

highly pleased with this as a pros
pective trip and our secretary has

The following is from Acting Secre-
tary Cooper's report to the Promotion
Committee for the current week;
Chairman and Members of the Hawaii
Promotion Committee.
Gentlemen:A citizen who has the
Interests of Honolulu and the Terri
tory truly at heart, commented yes
lterday in rather a pessimistic vein on
the fact that we have fallen down" on
the proposer Shriner excursion from
San Francisco, and have apparently
lost the big Salt Lake City Elks' eX-
icursion which was planned for Feb
Iruary. Everything goes lovely with
most of those propositions until it
comes to getting steamship service, and
then it's all off," was his way putting
lit.
! Now while there may be a certain
amount of truth in all this, personal
ly get a whole lot of satisfaction out
of the bare fact that so many persons
really want to come to Hawaii. 1t
speaks volumes for the efficiency of our
WOlh' I6OplO dlO NOlhih6 W 'hS"
of Hawaii as they never did before,
and no one can question that the Ha-
wall Promotion Committee has been
the biggest factor in this dissemina-
tion of knowledge. Besides there is
no reason to believe that these various
excursions planned, have been aban?-
doned. On the contrary they will al
most certainly be taken up again, and
in the meantime all the planning and
discussion which goes on is so much
good advertising for Hawaii. Here
are excerpts from letters received by
yesterdays mail bearing on this mat
ter, which shoy that we have some

Agent of the Oregon Short Line Ry,

salt Lake Elks' plans:

There was a lively scrap at today's
noon meeting of the Boardsof Super
visors over the building of the belt
road, the road around this island of
Oahu.
The matter was brought up in re-
gard to the letting of the contract for
the construction of that portion of the
belt road involved in the Kahana dis
trict.
Kane cried aloud for economy and
Cox declared that the Kahana matter
had never been passed upon properly;
that the Kaluanui road was the mat
ter that had received consideration and
been passed on, but nothing definite
had been decided in regard to the
work in Kahana.
Quinn was almost furious in his de-
claration that it was worse than the
action of a lot of children, worse than
any action of which even an incom-
petent might be guilty, to go ahead
and call for surveys of road and call
for contracts, as had been done in the
case of the Kahana road, and then for

Dwight Blake's band gave an other one of it's excellent con certs at the auditorium Of the High Schcol Tuesday night, and like the other two was well worthy of the name of musical concerts. The program was a superb one of 12 numbers and each one of them was well worth the price of admission and those who went and heard it should feel like they had received S2. 2.5O worth for 50 cents, and those who didn't go to hear it lost enough and can only regret they missed such a treat. The fact is beyond any question, the band concert given by Prof. Blake and his band is far above the ordinary travelling bands and concert companies and he gives better and more pleasing music and when people have an oppor- tunity Cf hearing one of them they should let nothing keep them away ay.-Arkadelphia Siit- ings Herald.

 "A DOUBLE l, ARISTOCRAT
5.o.o.osoeosooeoeoeoeOeoe,

(Copyright, 1909. by American Press Asso-
 ciation.l
 During a winter that my husband and l spent in London we were pre- sented at court and saw considerable of society. That season there were an unusual number of debutantes at the capital, among them Lady Gwendolen Fortesque We met her at various functions and made her acquaintance, but I cannot say that between us there was anything more than an ac- quaintance Tn the first place, she was dozen years our junior, and, in the second, her position was far above the reach of untitled Americans. Never theless I should have liked to know her, for she impressed me as being superior woman.
 Several years after this winter in London while at my home in St. Louis I had occasion to visit a public school in which my daughter was studying. Entering room where class of girls were reciting, there on a raised dais standing beside a desk and speaking to her class with all the ease and dig nifty of an Oxford professor was the counterpart of the young lady I had met in London.
 'What is the teachers nameW l asked of one who was with me-
 Miss Grandon."
 What an astonishing likeness! Was she or was she not Lady Gwendolen FortesQue? 1 have met many per son well known to me of whose identi- ty 1 was not at some time sure, and it was natural that I did not feel certain of the identity of one whom l had seen but few times. Besides, how could it be possible that member of select circle of the British aristocra- cy could be teacher in a St. Louis public school? I was at the door when the class was dismissed and went to the desk to speak to Miss Brandon about my daughter.
 Curiosity prompted me to inquire about Miss Brandon, but no one ap- peared to know anything about her, and the next autumn, when the school opened, she was not there. 1 wrote to friends in London asking of the where abouts of Lady Gwendolen Fortesque and was told that she was travelling. supposedly in Egypt. This was pug zling, but l was obliged to be content for l could learn nothing further from England. At home 1 asked where Miss Brandon had gone and was told that she had accepted a position in England. The Lady Gwendolen For tesque, or Miss Brandon, whichever she might be, occupied a considerable portion of my thoughts for some time. then gradually dropped out.
 When my daughter had finished her education l decided that she should make her debut in London. The intro duction was successfully accomplished.
