SERIOUS FLOODS IN MIDDLE
 WEST

KANSAS CITY, June 1S.-The heaviest rains in year are falling in this section of the country causing great damage to the crops, and num- erous washouts. Several bridges throughout northern Oklahoma have been carried away by the flood waters and the water has not yet commenced to recede, so that further damage is expected. The people in the low lands have been warned, and are leaving their homes.
 The section covered by the rains includes all of Kansas, northern Okla homa, all of Missouri and Iowa, and eastern Nebraska. Many miles of railroad track have been washed away, and the train service through out the storm belt is all more or less demoralized. In several places small tornadoes have been reported over turning barns, and doing much dam- age to fruit orchards. So far but one death has been reported, that of a man killed by lightning. In the Kan sas and Missouri valleys it seems that nothing can now prevent serious floods from taking place.

CABINET I MEETING TALKS ABOUT
 M [ X|CO ]

WASHINGTON, D. C.. June 1S.- The cabinet met today, and the chief topic of discussion was the Mexi- can situation. The United States gave Mexico until June 22nd to meet the demands made by the president in his recent note of warning to the warning Mexican factions. and ways and means of enforcing the demands, in case of necessity. were considered. The cabinet also talked about the charges which have been made against Great Britain concerning the espionage on the official mails be- tween the United States and neutral countries. The matter was not con. sidered at length, most of the time of the session being taken up by the Mexican question. None of the cabi
 net ministers would discuss the meet ing after the meeting terminated.

The situation with reference to the opening of the new townsite is one that requires the working out of num- erous details and the Interior Depart ment is handling the matter as expedi- tiously as possible, with due regard for the public welfare. In the light of events and progress of things, it is quite probable that the townsite vii! be available to the public at least a month sooner than at first anticipated, due to the activity and energy dis played by Lieut. Mears, of the Alaska Engineering Commission; Chief of Field Division Andrew Christensen and Special Agent J. A. Moore, of the land department, who have immediate charge of the matter. It is among the possibilities that the lots will be

of a speedy opening of the townsite. MT. Christensen is now in Seward in telegraphic communication with the Commissioner of the General Land Office, and is expected here on the next steamer. Upon his arrival, it is possible that some information will be available.
 Just how the lots will be disposed of, is a matter of conjecture only, so far as the general public is concerned. It is quite probable that the leasing system will not be invoked. because of the legal difficulties attendant. The bill which passed the congress calling for the construction. by the govern ment, of a trunk line railway system in Alaska had a provision pertaining to the reserving of townsites and the sale" of lots therein to the general

CORDOVA GIRL PASSES
 ID LAST REWARD

Miss Jeneva Dorothy Laska. one of the brightest and most popular of Cordova's schoolchildEen died at her home on First Street last night about 7:3O. The girl has been sick for some time, being confined to her bed with tuberculosis since last November. Jeneva was born in Portland, Ore, and was 15 years old The body will be sent outside for interment. Her schoolmates always found Jeneva to be of a pleasant and even disposition, and 1t was with a shock of genuine regret that the people of the town learned last night of the bereavement.

public. under such terms and condi- tions as the President, through the In terior Department, might elect to de- eide. The word "sale," it would appear, erectually estops the applica- tion of the leasing system.
 While the leasing system seems to be eliminated as a possible solution of the problem, 1t is not at all certain that a drawing will take place It may be that the lots will be sold at auction to the highest bidder, a board of ap- praisers to fix a minimum price at which they can be sold. For the rail- way bill seems to insist that Uncle Sam shall have his "divvy" out of these townsites. Then there will be some considerable expense in connec- ton with the survey and plating of the townsite areas.

 The survey of the townsite is rapidly progressing under the capable direction of J. Frank Warner, exam iner of surveys for Alaska, assisted by Victor H. Wilhelm, a United States surveyor, and crew. An additional crew was put on this week to insure the early completion of the work. It is expected that the approval of the plat of survey will be made as soon as the survey is completed. thus obvl- ating the necessity of sending the plat to Washington for approval. This will vastly aid the early opening of the townsite.

nounced are being surveyed for town site purposes. Out of this tract some 1900 lots will be available. Should the 240-acre tract prove inadequate for the demand for lots, then adjOin- ing land to the east will be surveyed, To begin with, however, the 240,acTe tract will probably prove sufficient, unless the town shall grow with a rapidity beyond the expectations of the most optimistic.
 Several hundred lots are already staked out and 1t is advisable for the prospective residents, at this time, to visit the townsite and 80 over the ground as thoroughly as possible, so as to become informed.

The Swedish complaint recites that seven registered packages have been opened and censored by the British authorities, and that registered unit is missing. The cabinet will probably formulate a protest and forward it to the British government. The action is generally regarded with great deal of indignation unoicially, and will react against the allies far the sympathy of the American people is concerned if the complaint is found to be true.
