Forty Mile Southeaster Sweeps Shoreward Along Southern Coast Doing Heavy Damage to Unpro- tected Resort Towns.
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArcHl

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 17.-Heavy seas whipped up by forty mile south easter that swept the southern coast wrought damage of more than S10O,-
 900 at Long Beach and Hueneme. John Caspinola, a fisherman, was washed off the launch Roma, which among other vessels was sent out to search for a disabled motor boat
 blown to sea with six m@mbers of the family of J. H. Blake of Redon- do The Blakes, however, were saved by another vessel.
 At Long Beach the gale rolled up the highest seas seen at that point this year. The breakers dashed into the Strand, tearing out bulkheads, cement walks and wrecking several residences close to the waterfront, flooding the streets and sending the spray over sixty-foot buildings back of the promenades.
 The greatest damage was sustain ed at Seaside Park in the Alamitos Bay districts. Huge waves battered down houses, marooned several fami- lilies and flooded the streets and car tracks to a depth of one to three feet.
 Several factories and two schools
 were among the buildings flooded
 and workmen and students took a compulsory holiday.
 At Hueneme the old long wharf at which vessels were moored to
 take on cargoes of Ventura county
 beans, was almost completely wreck
 ed. A section of it a thousand feet
 in length was smashed, the debris hurled upon the beach. The damage here was estimated at $50000 The Blake family were returning
 last night from the Abalone fishing
 ground north of Redondo when the
 storm struck their boat The motor was disabled. One of the party set
 off in a rowboat to summon hell
 from the shore. The rescuing vessels 1 however, could find no trace of the 1 little boat, with six passengers un-

COULDN'T RUN FOR
 SHERIFF WITHOUT ASSIGNING JOB
Story of Tucson Railroad Man, J. C. ConkIin, Who Was Informed by
 Company that He Must Quit,
 Heard at Wage Hearing
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcH1

CHICAGO, Dec 17.-Engineers who have been testifying for week be- fore the railroad wage board of arbi- tration, passed from the scene, and the stories of firemen, and hostlers began. The witnesses told of two dollars a day earned by a Chicago hostler. and three dollars d day by Texas fireman, who said he got most of it shoveling coal.'
 Warren Stone, counsel for the eng ineers, read into the record the case of J. c. Conklin, a railroad employe of Tucson. Conklin's friends wanted him to run for sheriff, Stone said, but he was compelled to withdraw when he received a letter from his super for stating that if he desired office he must resign from the railroad.
 He spoke of another case where a Southern Pacific engineer had beeii a member of a school board for fif teen years, but was compelled to re- sign by his employer
 That" said Stone, was in the days when the Southern Pacific carried California around in it's hip picket. When the state wriggled out, the rail- road concluded that it did not want any of their men in the game either"
 Another case was that of R. F. Cole, who aspired to the Nevada legisla ture, stone said, and had been in formed by the Southern Pacific man. agement that it was against the rules.

Louis c. Hill and Party of Capitalists Stop Over Here on Way to Yaqui River Project, Biggest in Recla- nation History.

To help open up an irrigation pro- ject beside which the Salt river val ley will be little. is the purpose of Louis C. Hill and a party of capital ists, who arrived yesterday from Los Angeles, inspected the dam and de- parted for Nogales and Mexico and the scene of their further operations on the Yaqui river.
 Eight hundred thousand acres, un- limited soil fertility and an assured water supply, are some of the things that draw the attention of the world to the Yaqui river project-a two dam system that will extend for a hundred miles along the stream, in the back country near Guaymas Government cooperation-either or any government-is being secured by the packers of the project, who are aiming to benefit not only the immi- grant Americans but the native Mexi- cans, who are already occupying the valley.
 Mir Hills companions included F. N. Watriss of New York, J. D. Pow CTS of San Francisco. H. D. Sibett of Los Angeles and w. E. Richardson Of Los Angeles.
 The party left the train at Tempe and went by auto to the dam. In spite of the weather. they had an easy trip and were back in Phoenix yesterday afternoon. where Mir. Hill called upon his former associates in tho recla amatiOn service
 Tt is a year since I was in the valley" quoth the engineer. and SC II can appreciate better than those who are here all the time, the immense improvement in the valley north and east of Phoenix. I never saw such progress. People who visit this sec tion day after day, note the slow gradual improvement, but it takes a man who only drops in once a year to see the changes.
 The purpose of our visit here is to show the investors what a nearly complete project looks like. The Yaqui project down in Mexico, is partly in operation, although none ol the pretentiOus works have been put 1 in The plans include two dams seventy miles apart, a huge reservoir and canal lines that will carry two and a quarter times as much water as the Arizona.
