SoFS lllCll pei oOlldl DGlOlO lllOS.
First officer f. Mills, Immediately
after the landing Of the passengers at
Point Duma, made his way overland to
Malibu ranch and there secured an au-
tomobile and came to Santa Monica,
arriving at II o'clock tonight, bringing
the first authentic information of the
landing of the passengers.
Sighted by Topeka
At o'clock, while the hull of the St.
Croix was burning fiercely, the steam
ship City of Topeka passed within a
short distance of her, but being unable
to discover any signs of life aboard,
proceeded on her course to Redondo,
and gave out the first report of the dis
aster The st. Croix left San Pedro
at 10 o'clock this morning bound for
San Francisco direct. She carried no
freight, and her passenger list of
eighty-two was an exceedingly light
one. She was proceeding in good time
at the moment the fire was discovered.
It's origin is unknown. A member
of the crew discovered the flames issu-
ing from the windows and gave the
alarm. Much excitement ensued, and
a panic was imminent when the officers
commanded the passengers to go for
ward and remain on the main deck.
Meanwhile the boats and life RATS were
lowered and the passengers placed in
them.
First Officer Mills states that as the
last boat containing members of the
crew left the st. Croix the flames burst
forth from all sides, and the iron hull
of the steamer became a roaring fur
mace.
Passengers in Canyon
The passengers the majority of whom
are women, must remain in the desc
late Zuni canyon until daylight when
relief, which has been sent from this
city. will reach them, and the ar
rangements can be made for bringing
them here.
Ten days ago an explosion took place
i'm the boiler room of the st. CrolN,
and Chief Engineer Day was scalded TO
death. The belief is that an explosion
in the engine room below the second
cabin caused the fire of today.
Charles e. Claggett, a travelling
salesman of Chicago, one of the pas
sengers on the ST. CroiX, succeeded in
getting to Santa Monica tonight. He
said that Captain Warner of the ST.
Croix. proved to be the hero of the
disaster. although all the officers and
crew worked in admirable unison, and
with great courage.
The fire, he said, ate its way through
the ammonia pipe before it was dis
covered, and that the presence of the
fumes from the escaping ammonia
prevented any attempt to locate the
fire or to check its progress.
When the first alarm was given
Captain Fred Warner, stood on the
bridge, and signalled his orders.
Women Fall in Water
The second boat to be lowered, in
which five women and baby were
placed, fell into the water from one of
the davits. The rope broke, and the
occupants spilled into the sea. They
were in danger of drowning, when j.
NIervin. the steward, leaped from the
deck and succeeded in keeping the wo-
men and child afloat, until another
boat came to the rescue. The father
of the child, and husband Of one of
the women, who was struggling in the
water, also leaped into the sea, when
the boat went down, and being unable
to swim was in danger of drowning,
when the other boat came to the res
cue AS the second boat was lifted
side of the vessel and an arm broken.

southern cattle not previously infest-
ed with any but these nominations
ticks come in contact with infectious
ticks they are just as susceptible as
cattle raised on tick-free pastures.
Many cattle appear perfectly
healthy and yet are infested with
ticks and have the fever parasite IN
their blood. Sometimes the owners
can not understand why such animals
should be regarded as dangerous to
others, and consider it unjust that
they should be subjected to quarantine
restrictions. The fact is that such
cattle have usually contracted the
disease in a very mild form at an
early age and have become immune
TO further attacks, although still car
rying the parasites in their blood
They are dangerous because the fever
parasites in their blood may be trans
mitted at any time to susceptible cat
tie by ticks.
While the disease may be produced
artificially by inoculating suscepti-
BILE animal with the blood of an in
fected one, it is spread naturally only
by the ticks. BY exterminating the
ticks. therefore, the disease can be
stamped out, and the quarantine can
then be removed.
The discovery of the part played
by the tick in the spread OF Texas
fever was made by the Bureau OF
Animal Industry of the United States
Department of Agriculture in 1891,
and the same principle has since been
found to apply to the transmission
of malaria and yellow fever from
man to man by mosquitoes, and to the
spread of certain other diseases.

ton about the ticks and giving di-
rections for getting rid OF them may

siens OF PROSPERITY

The Atlanta newspapers report
great activity in building in that city.
IL is better now than il vas before
the panic OF 1907. Our own iniorma-
tion. from Chattanooga people who
visit Atlanta frequently and have bus
mess interests there. bears out the
newspaper reports. For six months
bpflding operations have been very
satisfactory in Atlanta. and business
is also good. There is nothing IN It's
bankclearings. and other reliable
data to indicate a depression in bust
ness. on the other hand, there is
much to Indicate prosperity.
Birmingham shows the same kind OF
a business card. Building operations
have gone steadily on during the
snring. and summer dullness has not
checked them. People are building
residences, business houses are going
mn and industry is improving from
week to week. A noteworthy circum-
stance in connection with both Biz
mineham and Atlanta is that high
water mark has been reached In 0otn
cities this year for real estate prices.
This statement is based on recent
sales. The highest price ever paid
ner front foot for piece of property
in birmingham was recorded about
two months ago. Three months ago,
or something like it, Atlanta reported
a record price for real estate. Tne
prices we're for choice lots, Of course,
Int there is a demand in both cities
for all classes of realty.
We do not overstate conditions in
either city. They are prosperlng IN
all material things, and the people are
reasonably satisfied Certainly the
person who gets at the facts concern
nR growth and business in Birming-
ham and Atlanta, will find nothing TO
substantiate any report that those
cities are not prospecting.
What is true of Birmingham and
Atlanta is true of all other southern
cities. SO far as we know. All OF
them are prospecting and growing at a
most satisfactory rate, showing that
the south is going ahead in growth
and enterprise in spite of the gloomy
forebodings Of the pessimists. the
future of the south has never been
brighter than it is now, and we De-
lieve that the greatest abundance OF
prosperity will come. We have the
brains, the capital and the enterprise
to develop our resources and manu-
facture our wealth of raw material
into articles of commerce.-ChatCa'

Senator Cummins doesn't under
stand how it is an income tax on cor
porations is all right and that when
applied to millionaires it is all wrong,
The masses of the people look at this
matter Just as Senator Cummins does,
The fact is that an income tax is the
fairest tax in the world. If we can
not have such tax under our present
organic law, then an amendment to
the constitution should not be longer
delayed. There is no use resorting 10
subterfuges to raise revenue when an
income tax law can be made part OF
our fiscal system The large fortunes
of the United States ought to pay
their just portion of the taxes. That
they are not doing so, is fact, which
no man who cares what he says Is
going to dispute.-Knoxville Sentinel.

HOW CATTLE TICKS SPREAD
TEXAS FEVER.

The micropic parasi.c which causes
the disease known as Texas fever or
tick fever of cattle is found in the
blood of affected animals and is trans
ferred from one to another by means
~ the fever tick. A remarkable fea'
ture of this transaction is that the
disease-producing parasites are trans
mitted through the eggs OF the tlcK
that draws the blood, and not dlrect'
" by the old tick, as an engorgeo
tick after dropping from the most
fcow, dies without ever attaching IT.
self TO another animal. But Its on
spring, produced by the eggs lalo al
ter II drops off and before 1t dies,
carry the infection and inoculate the
frst COW they get on.
The length of time elapsing De-
tween the exposure of susceptible
cattle to infection by ticks and the
annearance of Texas fever among
them is dependent upon the climate
and the development of the ucks'
Tins if northern cattle are placed on
nastures highways, or in pens, etc.,
in summer Immediately after the
PREMISES have been infested WIN
ticks from southern cattle, Texas fev-
err may occur in from thirty to Sixty
DAVIS as the female ticks which drop
from southern cattle must lay eggs
and these must hatch before the
northern animal becomes infested
with ticks and thereby inoculated
with the disease. After the seed
ticks become attached to the animal
the disease will appear in about ten
dave in summer or a somewhat longer
neriod in winter. In fact, the disease
NAV occur before the ticks are large
enough To be seen without very
careful search.
One objection that has been ad'
yanced against the fact that the cat
tie tick is a carrier of Texas FEVER is
that cattle are sometimes found TO De
suffering with the disease without
showing the presence of ticks on
their bodies. This condition in the
case of southern cattle may be ex-
plained by the fact that the animal
already had its blood infected with
the parasites and under normal con-
ditions was resistant to Texas fever;
however, as a result of lowered vitali-
ty caused by some other disease, or
by exposure, privation, injury, rough
handling, ETC., this resistance has
been reduced and finally overcome,
and the parasites at last succeed In
producing the disease. On the other
hand. when this disease is observed
In northern animals, the young seed
ticks may be so small and SO few In
number as to be unobserved.
Under certain conditions, as when
living on horses, mules, etc, the ticks
, lose their infectiousness. and when
