WATER az PACK HORSES.
Problem for the People Who Live
Back from the Rio Grande.

Back from the Rio Grande.
Water is a precious article in the
upper Rio 'Grande region of Texas,
says the Kansas City Star. The Rio
Grande itself contains an ample sup.
ply for the Mexicans and few Ameri.
cans who live in this remote region,
but 1t sometimes is a difficult matter
to transport and distribute a supply.
In the villages and goat ranches sit.
uated back from the river the water
problem is one of the most difficult
that the people have to contend with.
The country becomes dry and parched.
The hardy desert plants are the
only species of vegetation that are
able to go through these long
droughts. Water frequently has to be
transported long distances from the
Rio Grande. Where the country is
mountainous. and rough water carts
cannot be used, the water IS carried
in water bags which fit over the back
Of a horse.
These bags are evenly balanced up
on the back of the .orse and carry ten
to twelve gallons when filled. The
bags are made of stout canvas and are
fitted with tin tunnels 1t is not un-
common to see a dozen or more Of
these water pack horses in a single
train going to or from the river, all
In charge of Mexican driver.

Woods and Edsemere, N. Y.
New York, Sept. 14.-On the eve Of
closing for the season the Gerard ho-
tel, on the beach front at Point o.
Woods, N. Y, was totally destroyed by
fire.
About a hundred guests still remain
ed in the hotel. The flames spread 80
rapidly that few saved their personal
effects. Some, with more presence of
mind than others, bundled trunks out
the windows. but many of these were
also lost, as the heat quickly became so
intense that their owners could not get
near enough to drag them to safety.
Another beach hotel, the Holmehurst
inn, at Edgemere. N. Y, was also de-
stroyed by fire on the eve Of closing
for the season. The forty-twO guests
had a narrow escape. many jumping
from windows to the lawn.
Tie damage is estimated at 100000.

LAB0RERS ARE LED
INTO A CLEVER TRAP
NonUnIon Shopmen Are Lured Away
to Strange Cities by Advertisements

Lured from their homes by promise
OF good pay and steady work. more
than 100 men from Salt Lake City and
Denver have arrived in this city dur
mig the past two days IN response TO
fake advertisements sent broadcast by
railroad union men, says the Los An
Geles Times.
The AFFAIR was taken up with the
Thiel Detective Service company Sat
urday in Los Angeles, and a hurried
Investigation showed that many non
union workers have been victimized
by their scheming enemies In Salt
Lake City.
After having spent their earnings
for railroad fare these men are now
penniless In a strange city, and with
no prospect Of work. The officers of
the detective agency have already
made one arrest In Denver In a similar
case. and II is believed that the friends
of the accused man there are further
carrying out his plans.
Manager Frank r. Clayton OF the
Los Angeles branch OF the agency re-
ceived letter from headquarters a
few days ago notifying him that the
takers had turned their attention to-
ward that city and San Francisco.
The following advertisement ap-
peared In Salt Lake City and Denver
papers: Wanted -Non-union machin-
lists, boilermakers, blacksmiths, loco
motive pipe men. handymen and help
ers of railroad experience. Apply In
person to rooms No 309 and 80 West
Bank building. San Francisco, and
rooms No. IA and Is, Hotel Orange,
Los Angeles.
The proprietor Of the Hotel Orange
at Sixth and Spring streets. In Los
Angeles, has received many letters
during the past few days from men
who state that they are coming in an
swer to the advertisement, and scores
have applied in person, having made
the trip from Salt Lake City.
I'VE have found this to be a new
and novel trick of the labor union
ites." said Manager Clayton Saturday.
"The employees of the Denver and
Rio Grande railroad In Salt Lake City
and Denver have been on n strike since
last March. Recently the officials and
the men reached a settlement. But
there were many non-union men who
had taken the place of these workers
and who would either be retained or
would stay In the city subject to call
from the railroad IL there was any
further trouble.
Advertisements printed in the Den
YER papers for non-union men took
more than 200 of them to Kansas City.
II was then learned that the whole
AFFAIR was n trick of the union to get
these men out of the city.
Knowing that our company fire.
quently supplied non-union workers in
case OF strikes, the takers used our
name as bait to lure the men away.
we found that the fake employ
ment bureau was being operated by
man named Thomas t. Hill. He was
arrested as he was leaving union
meeting and confessed that the unions
paid him $5 day to get these non-
union men out of the way
''He Is now under indictment on
charge Of using the malls to defraud.
1t is evidently his friends or co-work-
ers who have printed other advertise
ments and cnused many men to come
to Los Angeles In answer TO these
fakes"

A large amount Of work was accom-
plished at the two sessions OF the
house Of representatives yesterday
afternoon, although the sessions were
extremely quiet and but little debate
took place.
House bill los, introduced by Rep
resentative Wootton, drew forth a
short speech or two, principally as to
whether or not the state was best
served by the use Of free text books
In the schools. The bill is one de-
fining the powers OF the board of ed
ucatlon and the matter OF free text
books was brought up by Representa-
tive Thompson, who gave it as his
opinion that such a system made for
waste and a general lack of care in
the handling of the books which would
not be the case If the books were pur-
chased by the parents He stated that

of any kind was taken Of books and

of promoting the establishment OF a

was instructed to make further inves-

1t was freely expressed, however,
that the Chamber OF Commerce and
all other business organizations OF

encouragement to the enterprise and
