 WITHIN THE MONTH
Towns of Mazuma and Seven Troughs,
 New, Swept by Flood.
ASSOCIATED PRhss DIsPArcH1

RENO, Aug. 1-Mazuma and Seven TrOughs, for the second time within a month, are inundated by high water that swept both towns this afternoon and sent the terrified inhabitants scurrying to the hills for safety, ac- cording to d message received from Lovelock It is not known whether any persons met death.
 Water was reported seven feet high at Mazuma. Most of the able bodied men of LOvelock have gone to the scene in automobiles to search for possible victims and render aid to the suffering. It is believed at Lovelock that several lives were lost in the two towns swept by water, but there is nothing to verify this.
 Late dispatches from LOvelock states that ten feet of water came down from the hills above Mazuma and Seven Troughs and washed out the new roads rebuilt since the first flood Communi- cation with both towns except by au- tOmObile is still cut off.

SHIPMENT OF
 MELON CROP
Hundreds of Carloads Have Gone Forward and There Are More to Follow but End of the Season is Alp preaching
S11NOO for hard water,


 That sounds like inflated figures, but it is the actual amount paid out by the Santa Refrigerator Despatch company for ice to cool cantaloupes over the long roads out of the valley And every bit of the cold stuff came out of Phoenix and Glendale, divided in amounts approximately 12000 tons here and 500 to TOO tons in the sugar town.
 According to figures given out by r. L. Girardet, travelling agent of the Santa Fe Refrigerator Despatch com pany, and the man most likely to know what he is talking about, when it comes to cantaIoupe cars, the total shipments from the Glendale and an other station on the electric line amount to 211 cars to date. It is true, there has been a big drop in prices outside, and shipments have slackened in consequence, but owing to the extra quality of the second setting" there will be from F to 20 more carloads leave Glendale in the next few weeks. If they were only good cantalOupes, said MT. Girardet there would be no place for them But as they are of such extra fine quality We can dispose of at least a dozen more cars.
 The next shipments will, of course command fancy prices, and the lucky agriculturists who happen to have a few acres of the second setting cants, will realize most satisfactorily on their crop.
 WatermeIons, except few shipped f t.,1n hay hppn sent out under ventilation only, so the exact figures on them cannot be considered in MT. Girardets province. He estimates that at least 250 cars left the valley in the last month. This with what has been sent out of the Mesa and south side districts, make the total melon shipments of very respectable size.

A Growing Revolt Among the Democrats Threatens a Change of the House Majority Naval Program of No Ships
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPArcHI

WASHINGTON. Aug. 1.-Alarmed battleships proponents in the house, the democratic leaders tonight issued a call for another caucus on the naval bill to be held next Tuesday night. It is generally accepted that at least one battleship will be provided for in view of the firm attitude of the battleship champions.
 Representative Sulzer of New York who is leading the fight for two bat tleships, announced that he had thir- ty-One signatures to his petition that the caucus release the members from the o-battleships pledges.
 With the addition of a half dozen more members Sulzer expressed con fidence that his forces would hold the balance of power and the matter would be forced into the open house. In such event, he said, he believed that with the coalition of the repub licans, two battleships could be voted into the bill.
 Majority Leader Underwood is striving to prevent the two-ship plan from going through, as is Chairman Fitzgerald of the appropriations com mitte Their objections are based solely upon the ground of economy. but recognizing the pressure of changing opinion among the members, they are now willing to compromise on one big battleship. The naval ap- propriations measure will be brought up in the house tomorrow. when it will be sent back to conference to await the caucus action on Tuesday.

According to French law, husband

for themselves, and have married each
other second time, cannot be divoro-

man who could not put up with the
freaks Of his wife sought and obtained
q divorce, but after q years reflection
he forgave her, and they went again
before the mayor. It was not long,
however, before madame broke loose
again, and tried the patience OF her
husband beyond endurance. He APP
piled to the court for remedy, but
was told that all It could do for him
was to pronounce separation, al
though he would be always obliged
to pay her alimony. He agreed, and
years went on, and the lady also went
on disgracing the name she still bore.
The man again repaired to the tribu-
nal and said: My wife, who In separ
rated from me, but who Is still my wife
and whose husband / still am, COM

to do?" to which the magistrates re-
piled: "You must go on paying her her

PROF. GlMPBELl!'s LECTURE.

/ Prof. b, w. Campbell, the soil
expert. will lecture at the high
school buhding Saturday night.
Concerning the subject of which.
Prof. Campbell is one of the lead.
ing opponents of the world. the
Los Angelica Times said:
"The story Of the growth of the
scientific principles and of the in.
creasing knowledge of how to
apply these principles so as to
produce tangible and sure results
lie an interesting one. The trend
of thought started in 1888,
.occasioned by the almost total
failure OF crops that year, did not
find its fullest realization until
1894, when marked results were
obtained in South Dakota. From
the small beginning in one state
according to it's originator, the
movement has spread until success
full experiments have been tried
even in interior India.
There is just one truth concern
ing this theme, which makes it a
matter of the deepest interest to
every man, woman and child in the
world, Campbell said. THAT
truth is, that it absolutely
eliminates any possibility of crop
failures. Needless to say the
success of the world depends on
the success Of the worlds agricul-
tural production and certainly
anything that augments this
production and guarantees against
failure of crops, is a matter of
moment to all.
