SEAT LITTLE GOOD TO HIM
Smart Youth Had It But He DID NOT
Proceed Far Toward His Des-
tination.

An important looking and haughtily
acting young man was wandering up
and down on the platform of the rail-
road station of small western city.
He was intent on finding an empty
seat in the express, which was almost
due to start. Vainly did he search
each car. Suddenly he assumed an
official air and, walking up to the
last car, he cried out:
''All change here. This car will be
left here"
The occupants of the crowded car
uttered EXPLANATIONS which proved
their dissatisfaction, but hurried out
and packed themselves in other
coaches. The face of the young man
assumed bland and childlike express
sion as he settled himself very COM
fortably in an empty seat.
Shortly after, the station agent put
his head in at the door and said:
Il suppose you're the smart boob
who told the folks this car wasn't 60
ing, aren't you?"
Yes replied the bright youth.
with grin.
Well" responded the station agent,
"you,were right. 1t isn't. The brake
man heard you calling out about it,
and SO he uncoupled it. He thought
you were an official.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA TOWNS IN
RUINED CONDITION AFTER
THREE-DAY TORRENT.
HOUSES SWEPT AWAY
FOOD SUPPLY IN ISOLATED
PLACES is VERY RAPIDLY
DIMINISHING.

western Newspaper Union News Service.
Los Angeles, Feb. 23.-With a loss
of probably 100000 and a toll of
seven human lives since Wednesday,
Southern California began to recover
from the effects OF the worst storm in
its history. Swept by wind and rain
for three days most of the territory be-
tween the Tehachapi mountains and
the Mexican line was flooded, but
while nearly all of the towns affected
remained isolated, progress was made
toward re-establishing wire and rail
communication.
According to an estimate made by
A. c. Hansen, assistant city engineer,
Los Angeles was damaged to the ex-
tent of at least $1,50O,000. One hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars repre-
scented the damage to the city streets
alone. The balance represented losses
sustained by railroads and by citizens
who lost their homes which were
swept away by the floods with all
their household effects.
Except in the vicinity of Pomona,
this county, where young groves suf-
ltTeu SeNeTely, OTdHSt Slo"eiS lepOit
ed comparatively little damage.
Ranches and small farms in the low
lands were inundated but no reliable
data could be obtained as to the losses
sustained by them.
Railroads report that the collapse of
big bridges over the Los Angeles river
in this city and the washing out OF
heavy spans elsewhere made it uncer-
tain when traffic could be resumed.
More than 100 homes were destroyed
in Los Angeles alone by the torrents
that rushed through the Los Angeles
river and the Arroyo Seco. As the
floods in those waterways subsidized
Saturday night household goods and
other property, including everything
from pans to pianos and beds, were
left stranded on sand bars.
Whittier, suburb of Los Angeles,
reported a shortage of food which
would became acute If transportation
facilities were not restored within a
day or two.
The water system supplying Clare
mont was seriously damaged and the
towns supply of drinking water was
cut off for a time.
Pasadena suffered the same trouble
and the Orange Grove avenue district,
populated almost exclusively by a col
ony of eastern millionaires. had to get
its supply of drinking water by the
pailful from city water wagons sent
out after a big water main broke.
Claremont. near Pomona. also was
isolated. and the supply of bread was
reported to be on a famine basis.
Two railroad wrecks, in one of
which twelve persons were injured,
were caused by the storm and floods
near San Bernardino.
Food for Three Hundred Travellers.
Automobiles, wagons and pack mules
laden with food supplies were rushed
from San Bernardino Sunday night to
the rescue of 300 passengers aboard
two bloodhound Santa Fe trains, rail-
road officials fearing that the ma
rooned people are close to starvation.
The trains, known as the California
limited and the Phoenix Express, east
bound from Los Angeles. were stalled
Friday afternoon at Summit in pass
of the San Bernardino mountains.

JUDGE WALKER
 NOT SURPRISED
Says He Knew That the Heads of Re- publican OffieehoIders Hanging
 by Slender Thread.

United States District Attorney Walker returned to Valdez this morn ing on the Northwestern from Juneau. The judge admitted that he has sent in his resignation to Attorney Gen eral McReynolds and that upon the arrival of his successor he will leave Valdez for a trip to Chicago.
 In speaking of his removal Judge Walker stated that it was the for tunes of politics, and being Repub- lican officeholder under a Democratic administration, coupled with the fact that the government will spend many millions of dollars in this division in the next few years. it is but natural that some one close to the adminis- tration and of the same political faith should represent the government as district attorney here.
 Judge Walker will leave Valdez shortly after the arrival of fhis suc cessor for a visit with relatives in Chicago Dick Walker, son, who was formerly in Valdez, is now locat- ed in the windy city.
