City Cut off From World Under
Assaults Of Tropical Hurricane
And Lives and Property Ap-
parently Are In Great Peril
WIND HAS LASHED WATERS
", OF GULF INTO A TEMPEST
Large Numbers of Persons Man
age To Flee Metropolis But
Thousands Are Believed To Be
Marooned With Sea Surging

tA.Socia.ed Press by Federal wirelcss.)
~ CUSTOM Texas, August
i 4 17.-Galveston is cut off
from the world. The last tele-
phone and telegraph wires went
out last night and the fate of the
city, under the furious assault of
a tropical hurricane, is unknown.
The United States army trans
port Buford, stationed at Calves
ton, flashed wireless through the
storm to Brownsville that the
waters of the Gulf, piled up before
the pressure of the wind, had risen
ten feet and that several vessels
had been capsized at their moor
ings.
Terrible Losses Certain
1t is certain that there has been
loss of life and heavy property
damage, but on what scale there is
no means of estimating. Just be-
fire tliJss4eisaa- failed, IL was re-
ported that the citizens had taken
refuge in the business district, on
the highest ground they could find,
and that they were facing their
peril bravely, in the belief that it
was not serious.
A general exodus from the city
began yesterday and thousands of
refugees are now quartered here.
The trains were unable to accom-
. modate the unexpected crush of
traffic and when the last train
pulled out, hundreds were kneel-
ing in the railway station, praying.
Second Storm Horror
Fifteen years ago next month
Galveston was wiped out by lust
such a gale as is blowing today
The loss of life was never fully
ascertained, but the newspapers
contained the names of more than
1000 dead and the estimates of the
total number drowned ran be-
tween 5000 and 1000.
With admirable courage, the
citizens Immediately set to work
rebuilding their city, and, with fed
eral aid, fortified it against future
inroads of the ocean by construct
ing huge breakwater.
AT last reports, the breakwater
is holding well, doing much to
mitigate the crushing force of the
great breakers that are rolled up
by the gale, which yesterday was
blowing sixty-two miles an hour.
Great Flood Feared
But it cannot serve to lessen the
damage done.by the rising waters,
which, finding their way into the
harbor, seek their own level and
pour in over the loWlands.
Port Bolivar, Caplen, Follower,
Sabine and Port O'COnnor, all
populous seashore resorts, are now
also cut off from communication.
When last heard from they were
said to be nearly submerged.

WEEKLY LETTER
OF JOHN H. PAGE

Iiuo Rock ssps - The farm.
ers should plow under the pcayiuo
stubblr instead Of cutting a second
time, as many are doing, Plow
under the green vines this fall and
they will enrich your land for the
next year more than their value
for hay. DO all the fall breaking
you can. and plow deep. 1t was
easy to make a crop this year be-
cause the season was good, aud
plenty OF rain fell. Next year it
may not be so. Remember that al
most any meth ID OF cultivation
will make a good crop in a good
season, while 1t takes the best
methods and greatest care aud labor
to make a good crop in a bad sea-
sou; hope for the best, and lprepare
for the worst, is good policy IN
farming.
Reduce your cotton acreage
Get more land into hay and pasture
crops. Such a system simplides
farming. You can follow a hay
crop with any crop you like. You
cannot do that with a cotton crop.
Hay is easy to grow and Is valuable.
Il provides a means Of lessening
labor and costs, aud brings good re
turns. A crop of corn at forty
bushels to the acre is not a more
profitable crop than a ton of good
hay to the acre, all things consider
ed. If you can do 80, provide past
ures for hogs, horses aud cattle.
Thus the stock gather that much
Of the crop and feed themselves.
A pasture Is much better than out
side range. BE sure TO save en-
ough seed peas for next year, and
some TO spare for your neighbors.
Cow peas are dong more than any
thing else these days to increase the
richness Of the soil. Stick to them.
They are the farmers friend.
