Hundreds of Families Driven From
Homes; Stock Swept Away.

Rawlins. Wyo., July pa cloud.
burst, accompanied by heavy hail,
caused havoc between here and Fer,
ris. Hundreds of sheep and cattle
were swept away and grain fields
were devastated. Hundreds of fami.
lies were driven from their homes and
many narrowly escaped death from
the sudden rush of the wall of water
which broke from the banks of the
creek running through Ferris. While
the telephone wires We're still in or.
der appeals were sent to this city for
help. Rescue parties did much
toward cutting down the damage and
preventing loss of life. The main line
of the Union Pacific was put out-of
commission and several bridges were
washed out. Thrilling escapes and
valiant rescues have been reported.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Mexico City, July 22.-Tuxpan, a
maritime town 145 miles northwest of
Vera Cruz, has been captured by reb-
els under Jose Vaga after a hard
fight. In answer to an appeal from
the British consular representative,
the United States battleship Louisi-
ana, with Rear Admiral Frank F.
Fletcher aboard. sailed from Vera
Cruz for Tuxpan under full steam.
Tuxpan is situated on river, five
miles from the Gulf of Mexico. 1t Is
an oil center, and many Americans
and English reside there. If it should
become necessary to give armed pro
lection Admiral Fletcher would have
to land force, as the Louisiana can
not proceed beyond the gulf or mouth
of the river.
American families are seeking ref
uge in Vera Cruz, fearing that anti
American riots are sure to follow the
demonstrations in honor of the new
Japanese minister.

Washington.-Report of conditions

prehension toward the situation
there. Advices which officials believe
to be perfectly trustworthy indicate
the strife between the Huerta regime
and the revolutionary elements is
nearing point where some definite
conclusion is to be reached.
Information of this situation when
permitted to become known was coup
pied with the authoritative statement
that the United States was making po
additional naval or military prepara-
tions. Reports of an impending col
lapse of the Huerta regime are being
talked over freely in official circles.
Meanwhile President Wilson is anx-
iously awaiting the coming of Ambas-

rying north from Mexico City to make
first-hand report Of conditions. His
reports will be compared with those
President Wilson has received from

TIMES DO CHANGE.

Ibid you ever notice." said a
RAILROAD official, chow eager and
anxious every community is to get
railroads? Towns without adequate
transportation facilities offer almost
any inducement for railroad to
build line within the municipal
limits. But the road is no more
than in proper running order than
complaints begin. Citizens want this
improvement and that improvement.
Kicks multiply, until the, railroad is
made out to be veritable monster
of. wickedness. Old railroad men
will tell you of the early days of
railroading in Kansas and other
western states, when towns outdid
themselves in celebrating the COM
pletion of railroad line to their
limits. Local papers issued extras,
bands played, municipal officials
made speeches, the school children
had a holiday. Now the shouting
and the tumult are reserved for oc-
casions when a court decision goes
against the very same railroads"

DEMOCRATS woN, IN BAE SKATE
Formed Defeated Candidate Made
Representative.

Boston, April 16.-John J. Mitch
ell, a Democrats, was elected repre-
sentative from the Thirteenth dis
trict yesterday, after in S-cornered
fight in which tariff discussion fig
ured prominently. Mitchell's plu-
rally over Alfred H. Cutting, Re-
publican, was 414S. The vote for
Norman H. White, Progressive, fell
1900 short of that for Cutting.
The special election was neces-
sary on account of the election of
the former Representative John w.
Weeks to be United States senator.
In the election last November Mr..
Mitchell, who was successful yes
terday, was defeated by Mr.. Weeks
by 1851 votes.

KEEP uP THE WORK.

For the first time In months some
good work was done today grading
the streets leading from the pave
ment to the city limits on Enter
prise avenue. The work should con-
tinue and the roads leading into the
city should be kept in perfect con-
dition.
About 400 farmers in Dickinson
county own motor cars and Abilene
is inviting them to come here to
trade. Is it not a matter of good
business judgment to make the
streets leading from the city limits
to the paved district as good as the
country roads?
The Grant township residents
have started a movement to improve
the roads from the city limits three
miles in each direction and are max
ing the highways highly creditable.
1t is up to Abilene to get away
from its system of neglect and make
the streets as good as country roads
at least. They ought to be better.
The city commissioners Gan do
Abilene a great service by keeping
busy on this work.

WHY LUMRER IS HIGH.

One of the members of a we'll
known brokerage house, say a New
York paper, recently bought a small
country place up the Hudson, and,
desiring to make some alterations
to the house, went to lumber deal
er to buy his materials. When he
was told the current prices for lum-
Der he was surprised. Asking the
dealer the reason for the rise in the
price in the last few years, he was
told that the pulp mills were the
cause.
Ten years ago." said the lum-
herman, common sheeting was SELL
ing about s12 to s14 per thousand
feet. Today It is $50. The paper
pulp mills are the cause, for they
viii pay as much for limbs, branches
and even stumps cut into suitable
lengths as the lumber dealers viii
for sawed lumber, so the farmers
and timber people viii not saw their
timber into boards, IS It means add
ed expense for the same amount Of
money"

SUGAR AND OTHER DUTIES.

Congress is devising a new tariff,
and is working along the lines of
least resistance rather than upon
any scientific basis, If the tentative
proposals of the measure thus far
made public are to be treated SER
iously. One of the most sweeping
experiments seems to be the reduc-
ton, and ultimate removal, of the
tax on sugar.
Probably the Louisiana sugar In
terests could stand a cut of about
one-half Of the present import duty
of 1853 cents a pound. Improved
methods of production, which q
tariff tends to discourage, might be
stimulated by competition. But it
is difficult to see where the boon to
the consumer of sugar lies in reduc-
ing and finally abolishing duty
which brings in $50, 900, 900, a sum
which must be found by the income
taxpayer, or somebody else, because
our extravagant rulers at Washing
ton are appropl iating in such way
as to make any tariff tariff for
revenue. They need the money.
Sugar is really sold at smaller
profit to the retailer than anything
else in the grocery store. There is
VIGOROUSLY no money for the gro
Ger in the handling of sugar. 1t is
in fact treated as an advertisement
for his other wares. A reduction
in the duty might make his adver-
Using cheaper, and perhaps benefit
the foreign sugar grower; but the
prospect of the consumer deriving
any benefit from the reduction is
remote. The consumer would not
benefit even to the extent of cent
pound If sugar came in free. Sure
ly there must be other taxes where
an actual reduction would increase
imports and revenues.
Removing taxes on raw material
does not seem to have had the effect
anticipated by the advocates Of that
method. With the duty off Canad-
ian wood pulp, news print actually
advanced, both In Canada and in the
United States. With hides on the
free list. nobody is any better or
more cheaply shod. and indeed with
the restoration of that duty it isl
doubtful II the conventional price of
shoes would advance. The expert
ment might be a valuable 7object
lesson in taxation.
Free wool might have no more
effect than free hides or wood pulp,
If the duty were removed altogether;
while It would certainly affect the
wool growers Of the middle west.
The country Is ID against thsl
