Mr.. F. p. Toof, manager of the
'Cohankus Manufacturing company,
has returned from New England,
where he contracted for some mill
supplies. including novel machinery
for making seine cord, hard twist
ed goods. OF which the plant will
have an additional output of 10000
pounds. The machinery will be de-
livered in November, according to
contract. Only one concern in the
United States now makes seine cord.
Il found New England busy and
optimistic" said Mr.. Toof. II visited
a number of manufacturing centers
and found all the factories, both tex
tile and machine, running to their
full capacity and millions being
spent in additions. Apparently those
people believe the future demands
exceed their capacity to supply and
they are taking advantage of an easy
money market. They talk in mill
lions about their improvements.

chinery.
1T is encouraging and inspiring
to visit those busy manufacturing
centers. No dread of financial re-
lapse seems to haunt either the
manufacturers or the Boston and
New York financiers, who are fur
nishing the ready capital. Neither
are there any indications of a spec
ulative tendency in legitimate in
dustry. The lesson of the recent
furry seems to have been learned.

but many lives lost yesterday"
None seem TO be explicit and do
not state the exact loss OF life. There
are some OF a pathetic nature, how
ever. They report the drowning OF
entire families. missing fathers.
mothers. children and relatives, and
undoubtedly bring the greatest sor-
row or anxiety to their recipients
While semi-ofhcial reports state
that up to noon today 400 bodies
have been recovered. there has thus
far been no attempt TO inter the
dead They are being placed along
the banks OF the river on the higher
ground. where an improvised morgue
has been constructed. and there await
Identification by loved ones.
The scenes attendant upon these
trips TO the morgue by those In search
OF missing loved ones Is pathetic In
the extreme. The bodies are guard
ed hy soldiers, who escort any
searcher Tor a missing friend or rela-
tive along the line Of dead. and In
many eases where the worst fears OF
the seeker are realized the guards
have a trying ordeal on their hands

by the city authorities and given a
decent interment.
The severe torrents OF rain which
had been falling all morning ceased
shortly after o'clock. aud the fear
that the river would again rise 10
even greater heights was dlssipated.
thus In a measure relieving the preya

II Is estimated that the river has
risen TO a height OF so 10 60 feet.
and ustil its waters recede there Is
little hope OF finding the cadayers OF
the drowned.
Appeal 20 Washington.
II is understood that an appeal for
aid has gone out from the city Of
Monterey. One statement IL to the

appealed to the authorities at Wash

press requesting monetary assistance
for the thousands OF needy poor who
have lost homes and chattels In the

According to this Information the
consul made this appeal in the name
OF the American colony OF Monterey.
Monterey IL one OF the most pro-
gressive cities in the republic and is
often referred to as the Chicago OF

corncrib.
Men have built them with straight
sides. set them on the ground. built
them with windows. and adorned
them with pleasing things to the eye.
but after they had tested them they
found out they had made a great mis-
take and had damaged corn to show
for IL.
OF course II one doesn't harvest his
corn until cold weather. when It is
dry and hard. II will keep in any kind
OF building. but where one wants TO
harvest the crop early while the fod-
der is good, 1t is best to have a pro-
per building to cure it in.
We built our last crib the old mod
e., set II up on stone posts about three
feet high. had movable steps that we
turned away from the building when
not in use. and We have never seen a
rat in this crib, while the old one we
had built near the ground was always
oyrrun with them. We built the
sides with plenty of floor and open
stats, the ends were shingled: floor

boards open about quarter inch in

Bile, outsides and corners and prevent
cement from sticking to molds; we
line the molds with old newspapers.
A better way to line the molds is to
buy cheap paper in rolls, tust wide
enough to cover the bottom and sides
OF molds from end to end. Take care
to work the paper down on the bot
tom and corners and avoid wrinkles.
Pour in the cement. well mixed and
wet, almost running. As Mr. WIN
Jams says. let the cement set twenty
four to forty-eight hours, then take
away the sides and ends and pull of
the pap&s1ining while wet.
We let the posts remain on the bot
tom boards three days at least. then
remove them very carefully, with the
board under, to where you desire to
pile or stand them up. Some recon-
mend standing. so as to wet them
every day for while. The staples

after filling the molds Three or four
hours after first punching the holes.

back side OF the post TO make it hold

You can make hole or set a staple
