More than a week has passed since
President Huerta. of Mexico, re-
fused to salute the stars and stripes
and since our marines and blue
jackets took charge of Vera Cruz.
At this writing there are no very
new developments. The situation
seemed on the point of breaking
every day of the time and still seems
to be beyond hope of a peaceful So
LUTON. In fact, conditions have
gone from bad to worse during the
week as far as sAmerican interests in
Mexico are concerned. The only ray
of hope SO far has been the failure
of an actual alliance between the
opposing factions in Mexico to OPP
pose the United States forces.
Americans in Mexico are in a pre-
carious condition as a result of the
popular Indignation among Mex
leans as result of the taking Of
Vera Cruz. Hundreds of them have
made their escape, hut there are
many who are unable to get out and
many others that were thrown into
Jail while attempting 10 escape. II
is reported that four have been
killed in Mexicofa and that many oth-

The fifth army brigade has en-,

United States in a position where
they will be able to press forward
and succor the unfortunate prison

Mexican nature are inclined to be-

To have a lumber yard right

eyer happened to this commu-
nifty. Your plan OF cutting out
extras and telling a man just OK

forced TO go to mail order

it the eleventh hour. One thing is

at the eleventh hour. One thing il
certain. In addition to the candi.
dates chosen at the mass meeting re-
Gently, there are Individual nomina.
tions filed for two Offices. VIM.
Jones for mayor and F. r. Schilling
for treasurer.
The writer does not propose to
discuss the merits of the opposing
candidates at this time. There is nc
reason why either one Of the above.
named gentleman should not make
good officers. Nevertheless, the
writer will go to the polls and cast
his vote against both Of them. And
many others will do likewise. II
will not be that the voter holds any.
thing against the candidates. But.
rather. they may personally favor
them. However, all fair.minded
men will accept the verdict of the
majority of those who attended the
open meeting when candidates were
chosen. 1t may be that men were
chosen as candidates at that meet
ing who are not acceptihle to some
and perhaps are not as good material
as others who might have been
chosen. That does not alter the
fact that they were chosen and, es.
pecially those who attended the
meeting of whom there were some
sixty-are morally bound to abide
by the result Of the meeting. Those
men chosen, as far as the Individual
is concerned, we're just as much
elected to the Office as though it had
been at the regular election. The
men who were chosen were not
looking for the positions. They &C.
cepted because asked to do so by the
majority of the voters present at
that meeting and that meeting was
attended by good representation
of the town-all others we're vel
come to attend.
The object Of the mass meeting
was to provide candidates for the of
flee that would be the most accept
able to the townspeople and of
whom il could not be said their in.
terests were advanced by any party
ring. The candidates named al
lowed their names to be advanced
for the Offices and it is not fair to
them to allow some few men to ac-
complish their defeat. 1t is natural
that they would be backward about
becoming candidates. And it is
just as natural that they would not
care to be humiliated by being re-
pudiated at the polls, after agreeing
to accept. The writer understands
that neither the petition of Mr..
Jones nor MIR. Schilling was signed
by the men themselves. as is custo.
mary. Hence, il is not necessarily
a fact that they are attempting to
push themselves forward in the mat
ter. The writer believes that their
becoming candidates is the work Of
a few interested parties much more
than their own.
Following is the list Of candidates
chosen at the open mass meeting
held for the purpose Of selecting
candidates: Mayor. r. j. Grain;
police magistrate, C. F. Wagner;
treasurer. P. G. Rocks; aldermen
first ward, j. A. Lang and Fred
Kelscli; aldermen second ward. q.
I. Atha and John Bosch; aldermen
third ward, a. M. Britts and L. du
Heaume. These men agreed to be-
come candidates at the request Of
the voters who attended an open
mass meeting which was absolutely
fair and above-board and are the
candidates entitled to election.

Denver, Colo, August 6.-The little
mining town of Telluride, Colo, ia

wiped off the map Monday as a result
of a cloudburst in Cornet creek, four
miles above the main part of the lit

Two women are known to have
been drowned and fifteen children were
rescued after a wall of water from
eight to twenty feet high had hit the
city.
That the loss of life was not heavier
is considered almost miraculous. Cor
net canyon runs a precitious course
directly into the city of Telluride, The
town has a population of 1000. A ma
jority Of the inhabitants are miners
and their families.
The storm in Telluride itself was
mild, but modern Paul Revere was
at hand to warn the citizens of their
impending danger from the floor rae
ing down upon them.

lives at the mouth of the canyon, had

SEA CHURCH
NOW ASHORE

New York, Aug. CATER fifty
years of rocking and rolling on ebb
and flow of tides in the East river off
Market street, the Marine church has
found resting place ashore at Mar
lners' Harbor, S. l. While landlub-
bers, harbor folk and retired seafaring
residents agree that the pains and ex-
pense OF moving the church were hard
ly worth while, as the whole church
is rotten from the seeping waters OF
fifty years, the building is historic and
dates from the days Of the civil war
For the past two years the church has
been moored in the Xii Van Kull, but
the scow on which the church reposed
leaked so badly that the bilge water
became a menace to the health of the
congregation. The edifce has been
raised from the scow ard transport
ed to vacant lot and now reposes on
a solid brick foundation. The Rev. w.
W. Mix, the pastor, is probably the
happiest of his congregation, for the
dominic is a seafaring man who could
never acquire sea legs, and he has
suffered much from the smell of the
bilge water. -
