WATER DAMAGE ON SAN PEDRO RIVER TOFARMS, RAILROA DS AND HIGHWAYS

hood of one mile wide and was show ing no signs of lowering.
 Greatest damage to railroad proper ty and right of way was sustained by the El Paso and Southwestern whose tracks on the main line and their branch line from Benson to Fair banks were washed out in several places. Between Lewis Springs and Hereford there was one serious wat CT break in the tracks which was re- paired as soon as possible but not before the east bound train last even ing had been delayed several hours.
 Seven hundred feet of the E. P. X s. w. tracks between Benson and Fairbanks was inundated and last evening there was water several feet deep over the whole of the right of way. It is not known what the dam age at this point is but 1t is probable that there is a good portion of the section washed out The burro line of the Southern Pacific between the same two cities was out in two plac- es all yesterday and train service has not yet been re-started
 Damage To Farms
 Several families in the neighbor- hood of st. David, on the San Pedro between Benson and Fairbanks, spent yesterday in the trees in their yards or on the tops of their homes or barns. Water in their farms and residences was from three to ten feet deep, and they were driven to cold shelter from the floods after it was too late for them to gain hing land and after they had been sur rounded by the fast rising flood wat CTS which swirled down the steep pitch of the river bed
 In the same district, above st. Dav i'd, where the Mormon colony of this section of the country have their farms, there was a heavy damage to farm property. Five dams which the Mormons have built for their irriga tion were washed away and theh fields were all of them inundated Hay stacks were taken down the stream in the hush or were SO badly soaked by the flood waters about them that they will probably be a losi Ito their owners. Farm ground iI cultlvation was cut badly a'-d filled with rolling stones Acres of sor lghum and corn lately cut wer'
 washed into the torrents.

storage and diversion dam near Fair banks and one mile above their head quarters ranch, on which during the past summer they have spent much money and which has just been placed in good shape was completely destroyed. The loss to this structure alone is estimated as in the neigh borhood of $4G0O The whole of the farm lands of the company in the nelghborhood of Fairbanks was inun- dated, and their crops in the field were destroyed One hay stack in a field near the Fairbanks station was reported ten feet deep in rising water
 The State Highway
 The state highway bridge at Fair banks was completely under water. At this point the water in the San Pedro valley was estimated as over one mile in width extending past the store, hotel and other houses ln the | little change station What damage the bridge has suffered is impossible
  near enough to examine the struct- ure The approaches are we'll GOV cred with the flood waters and 1t is thought they are washed out badly.
 Word of the water passing over the bridge was yesterday sent out from Tombstone to the state engineer s department. and a request was made that some one be sent with men to take care of the approaches and try to save them and the bridge from further damage It is not known here if men have been buried 10 the spot but 1t is highly probable accord ing to word from Tombstone, that the citizens of that city will see that the bridge has attention if the state does not take immediate action.

 No, thank you," replied Will lie, with an expression of grea, satisfaction. "I'm full"

LOCAL COWBOYS INVITED
 ID BAKERSFIELD CAL

Expert riders and ropers of the southwest will assemble at Baker field, Cal, for a four days rodeo which will be held there the third week in April. Citizens of that city have gone in for one of the biggest celebrations of the kind to be held in the country. The fes- tivities will occupy six days from April 21 to 25, the first day being devoted to harness and running races, the second to automobile races, with the big rodeo to follow.
 To attract the best talent among the riders, ropers, bull-doggers and other performers, of the va rious states big prizes are being hung up and the affair is being financed for $2o,ooo. Much of the talent will not have to depend wholly on the chance of their winning prize money, but will re- ceive guarantee of their expenses which will justify them in making the trip. But the prizes will amount to about ten thousand dollars and this will tempt men from all over the country.
 The committee in charge has engaged F. J. Griffin, a well known rodeo boss, to manage this part of the entertainment. From seventeen to twenty events will be pulled off every day. A very in- teresting part of the program, of a more modern sort, will be the automobile races. Noted drivers will compete on that track, which is on of the fastest; in fact Barney Oldfeld broke a worlds record on that tract last spring.
 Bakersfield calls their celebra- ton the Home Coming Week Festivities" and plans are being made to draw from all parts of their own state and from other states as we'll in the matter of at tendance. There are men in chaps" in this community who are capable of bringing home the bacon from tbat or any other wild west contest and they would do we'll to write the secretary at Bakersfield for further details.

 Market Letter for the Past Week.
Beef From Argentina

Seventeen hundred tons of beef is quite a quantity, and the arrival of that amount in New York from Argentin one day last week un- doubtedly has some significance, although the American public has already been cautioned that the Argentine supply had its limits. Sooner or later there must be an increase. of beef production at home, but importations from Ar gentina will help some in the meantime. Of last weeks invoice the New York Journal of Com mercc says: "The I7oo ton ship ment is being handled exclusively by Independent interests at both the point of origin and in this city, and according to those who have the matter in hand, it may mark the beginning of a series of the heaviest direct importations of Argentine meats that have as yet been recorded under the supervis. ion of the Independents who are combating the Armour and Swift combinations in the trade. ."- Dunbar'S Weekly.

Kansas City Market Letter
(By J. A. Rickart, CorrespondenD

Kansas City Stock Yards, Jan. 26, IoI4.-Cattle values last week advanced 10 to 30 cents, with greatest gains on butcher grades, next on stockers and feeders, then light beef steers, heavy beef steers taking the short end of the gain. Of 3o,ooo cattle and calves re- ceived, I3,ooo were bought by farmers and feeders. The great bulk of killing cattle were medium class, though one lot of big Miss ouri steers brought o.25, highest price ever paid in January. Re- ceipts today are II,ooo cattle, and the same preponderance of middle grade killers and stock cattle and feeders is noted that ruled last week. Best native steers here today brought 8.7o and 8.So, though prime steers would bring close to o.5o. Prices are strong to 10 higher on killing grades today, and some sales of stock cattle are IS higher. Meal fed cattle from Shamrock, Texas, sold at 700 and 500 today, weighing around Iooo pounds, and good to choice quarantine steers brought 8.25 and 8.3o, 1o3o average. The bulk of the meal fed cattle from the southwest have been run, and Colorado consignments of pulp fed cattle will not be heavy. Ac- cordingly higher prices are pre- dicted. Native COWS sell at 5.75 to 7.5o, and veal calves up to 1I.25. Fancy yearling stock steers bring around S.25, and twos up to 7.85, feeders at 700 to 7.85, about 25 to 35 cents higher than a year ago. All classes of killing cattle are selling at record prices for January, and from ST to SI.75 above this time last January.
 Hogs had some losses last week after Tuesday, but closed strong Saturday. The run is 5000 today, market 5 to 10 higher, with top at $50, equal to last Tuesday, high point of last week, bulk of sales 8.1o to 8.45. Average weight here is I8o pounds, which is B pounds less than average for Ian- uary last year. This means that many inferior hogs are included, widening the range of bulk of sales here, and all fair to good hogs sell around the top. Action of speculative markets recently denote plenty of strength, and with strong fresh pork demand, points to firm markets ahead.
 Sheep and lambs displayed weakness after Tuesday last week, but the market is strong to 10 higher today, with all the good lambs at 500 again. Receipts are 1000 today, a very light Mon- day run, and it is again demon strated that owners have only to stop loading to overcome any set backs in the market at this time. Ewes and wethers are extremely scarce, and best ones are worth around 5.6o and 5 90 respectively.
