ANOTHER AUTO BUS.

A sixteen passenger, so horse
power autocar arrived in this city
yesterday from the Autocar factory
in Buffalo, consigned to X. A. John
son, manager of the new Empire
hotel. Many cities much smaller
than Spokane have auto buses ga
lore, but few have made their APP
pearance on the streets of this city.
Needless to say, the auto bus is in
a class by itself when it comes to
quick trips between the railroad
station and the hotel, to say moth
ing of comfort.

CHAMPION O'C0NNE[[
To MEET MATSUOA

| ever witnessed on the mat.
Matsuda was champion of the Pa
cific coast at one time, defeating
Swanson some years ago at 142
pounds. He is recognized as one
of the cleverest Japanese wrestlers
in the country today, and is doped
to make great showing against
O'Connell if they meet.
O'Connell specifies that the bout
shall be catch-aszcatch-can affair,
the best two out of three falls to
decide the argument.
Matsuda stated last night inst
he is willing to meet O'Connell, so
the next thing to be considered is
the date.

The auto enthusiast is not COM
planning of dusty roads these days
In fact, few of them have been
heard to murmur against the mud
holes of certain localities. For the
most part, however, motorists are
delighted with the present condi-
ton of the roads, which makes a
spin over the country roads dis
tinct pleasure.
Manager H. P. Bouffler Off the
Cadillac garage returned from "a
trip to Walla Walla the other day
and reports the roads in first class
shape. He discovered great deal
of mud on his way to Walla Walla,
but was not bothered in the least
on the return trip.
On his way home he added an
extra 80 miles to the Journey by
losing his way at Spangle and TAX
ing the wrong road for Is miles.
He thought the road strange, and
finally stopped at farmhouse. and
after inquiry discovered that he
was taking an almost opposite di-
rection from that which i would
bring him into Spokane.

Suggestions for Aid OF Crop Growers.
To The Herald
Every man. whether in the city,
or on the ranch, is interested in the
prosperity Of the grower OF crops,
and ought TO be a willing part of
central Bureau OF Information
from which crop conditions of the
north may be correctly obtained.
Nearly every state in the Union
has representatives in this valley
from whom accurate information
can be gathered, nOtatiOns can be
made. and information given to
every producer. buyer, shipper,
merchant, builder, and real estate
dealer through The Herald as well
as through other publications in the
valley Let the Commercial Club
gather this information from the
private correspondence of these opeO-
pie by call or clippings from such
letters as pertain to seasons, and
such crops as go into cold storage
in the North.
Postal cards can be sent out with
questions fer the people to answer
from these northern letters, which
the most Of them viii gladly do
This viii move many to send let
tiers OF inquiry to their friends from
which Will come great deal of valU-
able information
We received d letter this week
from Springfield, Mo, stating, we
have not had a good rain since he
18th of July, the drouth and heat
are destroying all the late fruit and
vegetables
Now you see that information like
this from large part of the North
is stimulating to the grower and
his hope of success: besides what
ever leads the grower to success Is
a boon to every craft, d tidal wave of
prosperity to this city, and all the
towns of the valley
1t is well reported that Mr. opn-
man of the Farmers Department of
Agriculture in Washington, D. c..
has toured the middle west extend
ing his tour of inspection over a
great part OF Texas. He reports to
the department that drOuth in many
of the states has cut the crops down
to nearly half a crop. and some
places the drouth and heat have
been so severe that the farmers
are left with practically no crops
at all
Looking for the misfortunes OF
others il this way and for these
reasons is no sin for it encourages
the winter growers of this friendly
cline to supply them with the neces-
stiles, the proceeds Of which in
turn supply their homes. nav their
debts; besides it binds the Lower
Rio Grande TO the commonwealth of
this great country, mahing it q part

OF For School

With September comes school time
and the annual departure of sons and
daughters of Brownsville to divers
places in search of the Pierian
spring Yesterday saw the departure
of the Misses Lucille and Lily Cham
piOn for Nazareth Academy, KY. This
morning Jose Celaya and son Enrique
and Emilio Champion, with his three
young sons left for St Mary's Acad-
envy near Louisville, KY, where the
boys will study the coming session.
Last Monday, Mrs. Augustin Celaya
whit her three daughters, the Misses
Laura and Addie Celaya,. and her

Nazareth also, intending to stop off
at San Antonio, Houston and New
Orleans for little sightseeing en-
route.

FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 3, 1909.
JZIGHTEASLLYH4VE BEEN
AVOIDED.

Once more the Rio Grande has
been on the rampage and several
thousand acres of low land along
the river are under water. While
the amount of damage done by this
rise is comparatively small, meas
cured by results, yet there is no
doubt that the mere fact of the
news being spread abroad that the
river has overlooked again is likely
to do some harm to the entire val
ley And, in view of the fact that
it might all have been averted by a
comparatively small expenditure, il
is indeed to be regretted that such
an inopportune occurrence has hap
pened. Probably no other stream in
the United States is more easily sus-
ceptible of control than the Rio
Grande, especially in the lower part
of its course. By means of levees
along the banks Of the river for a
distance OF about sixty miles, with
provision to let the flood waters
through into reservoirs and natural
drainage ways, ali of which would
probably cost not over $4,000 for
that distance, overfows could cas-
lily be prevented The thing has been
done at San Benito and other places
in the valley, where levees are now
protecting the canals from encroach-
ments of the food, while the spill
ways are letting the water through
and draining it off into convenient
resacas, which viii carry off the
surplus to the Laguna Madre. It
can be done in the same way along
the entire river front The lesson
of this summer to the land and
canal owners of the valley viii as
suredly result in the construction Of
the levee system indicated before
many months more have passed, and
such a thing as an overflow of the
lower valley will be made an i'm
possibility in the future
