millions of dollars in property dam
age and the city in total darkness are
the results of cloudburst shortly af-
ter O'Clock tonight that eliminated

by the Associated Press operator who
waded in water up to his arm-pits TO
the Western Union Telegraph office,
a distance OF five blocks, and there
sent out his story.
All telephone wires were put out of
commission by the flooding of con
duits and it was several hours before

many actually lost their lives there.
Many are still imprisoned in houses
and the rescuers led by Mayor
Stern and members of the city coun-
ell have been unable to get them out.
The entire eastern section OF the city
is cut off by the water and what con-
ditions prevail in the center of this
district cannot be conjectured.
Among the missing are Assistant

police that house floated down Mill
creek with four women and three chill
dren clinging to it. Buernon and the

hibit at the Big Exposition
at San Diego.


SAN DIEGO, July 16.-Continued
additions to the exhibit relating to the
missions of southern California in the
gallery of California history at the
San Diego exposition are making TINS
of more and more interest to exposi-
ton visitors, particularly those from
outside the sunny Southwest where
the history or the missions IS coni-
paratIvely little known.
OF the chain of twenty-one missions
crested by the franciscan ratners IN
California and connected by Ell Cam
inc Real, THE Kings Highway" the
Mission San Diego de A1caIa. founded
in 1863, was the earliest. In the ex-
hibit, especial effort has been made
to illustrate the industrial side OF
the work of the Franciscans and the
San Diego mission is regarded as the
best example of this.
The earliest picture of this mission
with its simple lines and graceful
Carmelite tower shows one of the
most Characteristic examples of the
religious architecture of eae Francis
cans. The details as executed by In
dian converts. under the direction OF
the fathers, are most interesting in
contrast with the crude native Indian
