Steamship Agents Blame Decrease Of
30 Per Cent. Chiefly on the
Recent Floods.

New York-Up to May s the first
cabin passenger traffic between this
port and Europe was 357 ahead of the
same period in 1912 west bound and
1873 bookings ahead east-bound. The
second-cabin passenger traffic showed
an increase OF Is, 900 west-bound and
2.434 east-bound from Jan. / to May 3
over last year
Traffic east-bound from now on will
be about 80 per cent. below last year.
according to the steamship agents.
This, they say. is chiefly due TO the
number Of cancellations Of bookings
made in January and February by
persons who were sufferers by the
floods in the middle west and by the
tornado in the Mississippi valley.
Generally the year Of the presiden-
tial election is "a poor one for foreign
travel, but 1912 was a very good year.
Cancellations have been made in
the last few days not only on the older
Atlantic liners, but also on the first
cabin bookings of the Imperator.
Mauretanla and Olympia
The Atlantic steamship companies
look to the middle west and the west
for the bulk OF their summer tourist
traffic. and the sudden falling on in
the demand for cabin accommodation
and the cancellations came as a sur
prise to them A few OF the more op-
timistic agents hope that there will
be a boom in the European tourist
traffic later on. but 1t will have to
come soon to have any effect on the
trade.
Conducted party travel is also light,
according to the various tourist
agents. and there IL not much hope Of
it picking up this year. The biggest
party this summer will be the 1000

1t is not strange that San Pedro
should harbor so much game, for it
is the only really wooded mountain
on the peninsula. and the timber here
is very fine. Deer and bighorn are
not the only game; other animals
there are, not so harmless, and that
may even play the roll of hunter in

so numerous that young colts, which
they consider the most delicious of
tidbits. have hard time trying to be-

western slope of the mountain showed

On the eastern side there are
streams that start bravely from the
mountain, but they are Immediately
sucked up by the sands of the desert.
Canyon Diablo is an excellent example
of this; in the time of rains the water
rushes from the mouth of the ex-

is mere slit in the mountain wall,
in tumultuous flood. 1t entirely fills
the narrow opening so that the can

not only is there no stream, but the

streams of abundant flow start out in
this way, but all promptly disappear
And as the mountain acts as a barrier
to check the rains that come in from
the Pacific, the strip of land between
San Pedro and the Gulf of California
remains absolute desert
On the western slope, however, the
streams flow with greater assurance

To the approaching traveller the
city appears to be rising out of the

walls is occupied by gardens in which
figs. oranges and palms grow in great

In most places the streets are I'M

two horsemen to pass each other.
There is no sewerage system in the

The Tigris at this point is a little
more than 800 feet wide, but very

are no retaining walls other than
those formed by the foundations of
the houses along the banks.
Double decked horse cars, relic of
the reforms of Midhat Pasha, connect
Kazeman, the suburg, with western
Bagdad. The two parts of the city are
connected with pontoon bridges. Al
though these are very old and in con-

Battle Ground, Ind.-Guy Fisher, a

INNOVATION MAY NOT WORK
Weak Human Nature Likely to Spoil
Laudable Move Made by an
Eastern Railroad.

In announcing breakfast car serv-
ice for commuters an eastern railroad
evidently seeks to discourage the rep
rehensible practice Of sprinting for
the morning train, and the still more
reprehensible practice of missing it.
But there appears some danger that
the innovation may fail of its laudable
purpose, remarks the Newark Star.
The average commuters last moments

The time saved by not breakfasting
at home will be devoted to 40 extra
winks. AS 1t is now, when Mr..
Howson Lott, of Lonesomehurst, hears

next station up the road 1t is the
signal for him as he struggles with his
necktie to yell down stairs, Maria,
have Bridget pour the coffee. Under
the new order Of things the same
sound will be the reveille for him to
jump out Of bed and shed his paja-
mas. And then, too, what about the
card playing contingent? How can
the commuter expect to reach his Of
fee in a proper frame Of mind for
business II he has been wasting upon
breakfast the time consecrated to
the regular morning game? Pinocle

nounced that its postmasters and their

great waste of time, experienced by post
Office patrons, while waiting in line to
buy postage and mail their packages.
''Under such authorization, declares
Postmaster General Burleson, when a
parcel is presented for mailing, the clerk
receiving it. after collecting the required
postage, may indorse on the parcel the
amount of the postage, which later will

his plan will result in a great saving in
