SAN BERNARDINO, July 14.-Ter-
rife thunderstorms on the desert, fea
! tured by cloudbursts have done consid-
cradle damage in the mining districts.
Clever canyon, north of the Holcomb
valley outlet on the desert, was
washed of vegetation clean as a floor,
mining men narrowly escaping the
walls of water which poured in series
down the gulch But meager details
have been received here. Wallace
Hampton, returning from Holcomb
valley, witnessed the floods from the
top of the gulch. The roar of the big
volumes of water as they whirled huge
boulders down the canyon could be
plainly heard
Through his field glass Hampton
could see mining parties rapidly seal
ing the precipitous walls of the can
yon to escape the onrush of waters.
1t is his opinion that no lives were
lost, though possibly pack animals and
mining equipment may have disap-
peared in the torrents.
All day lightning played about Mt
San Bernardino, over which the thun-
der clouds gathered. The storm area
extends far out on the desert and in
wide area has resulted in rain, the
showers being heavy and in most in
stances being accompanied by high
winds,

Late Nervs from the Neighbori1g Tow1S and Cities
which designed the Intermediate bridge

WHICH ueSlButu lIl6 llllti bAANoN
said:
1--WE have no pecuniary interest in
this question. We heard that the board
of trade was in the market for data
on the question of crossing the arroyo
in the most feasible manner. We
gathered up such data as was avail
able and figured out a plan, We did
not know anyone interested in the
question one way or the other We
went to work for our own satisfaction
without regard to whether the city,
the county or anyone else would ever
build a bridge.
whether our plan is logical depends
on what basis the question is consid-
cred; that is, whether you want a
purely commercial or utility bridge
with a splendid view thrown in, or
whether you want a bridge to run to
suit some individuals. 1t all depends
on the premise from which the con-
clusions are drawn. As to the cost
of the intermediate bridge, we have
estimates from leading contractors and
will submit them if the point comes
to an issue"
Mayor Farley agreed to have City
Engineer Van Ornum figure the de-
tailed cost of fills. grades and con-
struction connected with the low
bridge and arrange for a comparison
with the intermediate structure.

CHICKEN FANCIER'S LUCK
GAINS HIM FOUR HENS

LONG BEACH, July 14.-Instead of
getting two hens and a rooster, for
which he had sent $100 draft to a
Kansas City firm, w. ]. Gardner, a
local chicken fancier, received a ship
ment of six hens, the shipping clerk
having made an error and sent Gard
ner's order to Honolulu. The Kansas
City firm, however, has just forwarded
to Gardner a rooster and informed him
he can keep all the hens, hence he is
more than satisfied.
