 As a result of the unprece- dented rains in Sonora, along the line of the Southern Pacific as far south as Empalme, which destroyed many bridges includ- ing the big iron bride on the oohOI I1NSl JuoO O4 4LO1 mosillo, trains will not run south of Imuris for three or four weeks. Tuesday the authorities at No gales, Sonora, received a tele- gram from Hermosillo announc- ing that a large portion of Ures had been swept away by the flood waters. All the rivers in Sonora are reported higher than in many years, and the damage to property, especially the Southern Pacific of Mexico, is very great.
 Fred. Gilbert, connected with the Alamo Cattle Company, has for several days past been de- tained in Nogales on account of the washouts in Sonora. MT. Gilbert recently visited Ures and surrounding country on business for his big cattle con- pany, which has a concession from Governor Maytorena to ship cattle out of Sonora. He says the washouts have greatly interferred with his company's business. Several thousand cat | tie have been rounded up for shipment to the States, but the railroad is out of commission and the country to the south of us is so flooded that it is impos- sible to either haul or drive the stock to the international border.

 Wednesday s. M. Franlin the Tucson attorney, accompanied by D. B. Woodward and w. B. Duval of New York, being un- able, on account of the wash
 outs to go to Tucson by train, attempted to make the trip by automobile. They got along fine until they came to a place in the road, near Calabasas, where the Tucson Citizen is standing upside down in the mud; then they decided that they'd return to Nogales and take "pot-luck" with sfriends. A. B. Crepin, of Patagonia, whose big Stutz is marooned be- tween Calabasas and Tubac, also decided to finger longer in our gay little city on the border.
 He is accompanied by Tom
 Frazer, the mining man.
