TIE FARMERS UNION MEN TAKE Al
 ADVANCED STEP.

One of the most deplomatic and progressive coups that the progressive Arkansas boosters have enjoyed a benefit from for many years was the recent act ion of the railroad magnate Yoakum. of the Frisco-Rock Is land lines, in conducting a party of representative Arkansas farm- CTS thro' the cast and north Showing them" the real bene- fits of good roads, how they are being built, etc.
 These men who went with Mr. Yoakum in his private car had the opportunity of learning just how, the other states of the union with far less advantage than has Arkansas, are out stripping us in the onward, up- ward march of progress. Just how they have doubled the values of their land by building perma- nent roads, etc.
 These gentlemen found out too that nearly all of these good roads were built and are being built by raising money thro' the issuing and selling of bonds.
 The representative farmers state officials of the Farmer $ Union are preparing to publish their report and it is given out from Conway, the home of M. F. Dickenson, one of the 1oak- um party, that the report will strongly urge the necessity of state aid in properly inaugural ing permanent road building; the issuance of bonds by both state ano counties for the con- struction of permant roadways.
 Now this is getting down to busine+s s and is sure to bring re- suits. 1t is not at all surprising either for farmers, like other clever business men, generally move up q peg when they are shown.
 The great trouble and greatest hinderanne to the real growth and development of the grea1 state of Arkansas today is due tt the non-progressive stand oi

TIE ONLY WAY
Many Brinkley Citizens
 Have Discovered Ii

Just what to do when the kid lneys are affected, is question
 that concerns both young and fold. Weak kidneys neglected ln childhood lead to lifelong suffer ling. People of advanced years, with less vitality, suffer doubiy.
 In youth or age, languor, back
 ache, urinary irregularity, dizzi- ness and nervousness makes life a burden.
 There is one remedy that acts
 directly on the kidneys and cures these troubles. Doan's Kidney
 Pills owe their worldwide fame
 to the fact that they cure sick kidneys and cure them perma- Inently. Follow. the example of this Blnkley citizen and you will be convinced that this is so.

Washington, Aug. 28.-Rulings on
the administration of retaliatory pro-
visions of the Payne tariff law, di-
rected at the wood pulp and print
paper industry of Canada, have been
issued by the Treasury Department.
1t is directed that If any province
forbids the expectation of wood pulp,
an additional duty of one-tenth of
cent per pound should be levied on
print paper valued at 8 cents per
pound or less, which comes from
that province, and duty of one
twelfth of a cent per pound should
be assessed on mechanically ground
wood pulp coming from such pro-
vince, and which will be otherwise
admitted free of duty under the gen.
eral provisions of the law.

MANY LIVES ARE
LOST IN FLOOD
MEXICO, SWEPT BY
A RAGING TORRENT.
PROPERTY LOSS MILLIONS
Foorer Glasses Huddleti Together
Awaiting SuccOr. Pestilence
Is Feared.

Monterey, Mex, Aug. 3O.-Twelve
hundred persons drowned, $1,000
homeless and property damage to the
extent of $12,000,O0O is the result
OF flood that struck the city be-
tween IL and II o'clock Saturday
morning. Over $50 bodies have been
recovered. Floods turned the small
and peaceful Santa Catalina River
into dozen Niagaras.
A veritable deluge of rain has
swollen the river to a width of a
mile and a half, and it completely
overlooked portions of the city. Tel
egraphic communication is crippled.
The electric plant is half under
water, the city's streetcar service is
paralyzed and the water supply is
crippled
The inhabitants in the vicinity had
barely time to fee for their lives.
The onrush of the waters carried
away their homes and chattels and
in many cases drowned occupants of
small huts used by natives. Condi-
tons are chaotic and the plazas
are crowded with homeless natives.
The scene in the fiood-swept Sec
ton is one of utter desolation. Four
city blocks on the South Side have
completely disappeared. For II
hours rain has fallen in unprece-
denied volume throughout this Sec
ton and the Santa Catalina rose
gradually all day Friday, the crest
of the flood reaching Monterey early
Saturday. Flood conditions extend
as far south as Saltillo, although no
great damage beyond inconvenience
to the citizens and minor damage to
the roadbeds of the railroads is re-
ported south of Monterey. 1t is
feared a pestilence will follow the
flood. The poorer classes are hud-
died by the thousands in churches,
and hospitals.
Monterey is city of approximate
ly 10000 population, located 100
miles south of Laredo, Tex It is set
in valley between huge mountains.

S. P. OWNS GREAT
POWER PLANT SITE
Location on Upper Branches OF
Yuba Insures Unfailing
Water Supply
Tremendous Flow Can Be Di=
verted to Develop Thousands
of Horsepower


The site of what probably will be the
largest power house of the series the
Southern Pacific company is to estab-
lish for the purpose of eleetrizing the
railroad over the Sierra Nevada noun
tains will be below Sierra City, high in
the hills near the Sierra Buttes This
location will insure a fall. when the
water has been diverted from the north
fork of the Yuba, capable of developing
such an output of electricity that the
power station will rank as one of the
greatest in the country. if the railroad
utilizes the tremendous force of water
at its disposal.
FALL NEAR DOWNIEyILLE
From the intake just below Sierra
city to the station where the great
generators will be placed near DowniS-
Vile is fall that only the pedestrian
who has climbed the Mountain House
grade can appreciate. The water rights
in this district have been taken up for
years, and this only has kept back the
envious engineers who have CHANGED to
see the wonderful natural situation for
the cheap development of enormous
power.
The position. far from the centers of
population in this state, led many
power corporations to consider the
establishment of a station there mad
vfsable. but the location is of inesti-
mable aid to the railroad for its work.
TAILINGS MAY OBSTRUCT
There is but one obstacle with which
the Southern Pacific engineers will
have to contend when the station is
finished and that is the presence in
the Yuba, the big stream from which
the water will be taken, of a large
quantity of dirt, the tailings of the New
York hydraulic mine, which has oper-
ated for generation on Howard creek,
tributary stream of the Yuba flowing
into 1t few miles above Sierra City.
The conditions that force the Sacra-
mento river to rise to food height
every winter-the presence in the river
bed of tailings from the hydraulic
mines-will be encountered on the Yuba,
the operation of the power house.
DAM MAY GATHER MUD
If dam is constructed at the head
of the diverting ditch to back up the
water. is is feared that mud will fill
it to the brim. Then the sediment may
collect in the intake and seriously in
of screens will be placed to catch the
blast nearly any device to hold the sedi-
ment may be Intellectual
No better sources of water for the
development of power can be found in
California than in the lakes and streams
which empty into the Yuba above the
point at which the Southern Pacific
ditch will lead toward the power house.
