No railway has yet been pushed through
the Sierra Madres, so as to afford a
through east and west line on Mexican
territory to the Pacific. The Diaz govern
ment gave very liberal subsidy for this
purpose. but the engineering difficulties
were SO great that Diaz went into exile
without seeing this dream realized, al
though unquestionably some day there
will be a line probably to Topolobampo
which is a splendid Pacific port.
The lack of a railway across the Sierra
Madres makes it necessary for whatever
de facto government may have the recog-
milton of Washington to transport troops
from Sonora to Chihuahua, or vice versa,

GEORGIA LAND OWNERS
EXPECTED TO ORGANIZE

purposes OF the Georgia Land
Congress to be held at Wavcross
Ga, on August 23rd next, was
given out TODAY bv Mr. Alex K
Seasons, Chairman Of the Com
mittee on Organization:
Ii Is proposed that the owners
Of undcveloped lands in the state
OF Georgia shall effect an organi-
zatiQn with the following broad
purboscs
/. To provide a medium for
the exchange Of information and
views, based upon experience. as
10 what they shall do with their
lands.
2 TO Ding about, if possible.
IA concerted plan for the realiza-
tion Of profit from their holdings.
AS to the foregoing PROPOSE
tions no ertended argument is
necessary.
Who among the large land
owners OF idle land IN Georgia
has any well defined plan as to
what he will eventually do with
his holdings? Where the land
us still covered with uncut tim
Der, the saw mill and turpentine
farm offer opportunity for imme-
diate activity and profit. But
what about the lands that will
soon be left, and what about
those millions Of acres already
cut over, and covered with moth
ing but stumps? Shall he hold
all, or any part of these lands for
restoration for the future lumber
men and turpentine operator? Ii
SO, what part of them, and what
shall be the policy? Shall he Of
fer them for sale as agricultural
lands? If so, to whom, and
when, and what if anything may
khe do to hasten the time when
they may be SO developed, and
sold at profit to himself and
with fairness to the purchaser?
These are living questions as
yet unanswered, and their solu-
ton is fraught with golden oppor-
tunltles. There are twelve mil
lions of undeveloped acres of land
in Georgia. Give these acres an
added value of ten dollars per
acre each, and a colossal fortune
/ OF one hundred and twenty mil
lion dollars is created. This is not
mere hypothesis. 1t is a simple
problem in business arithmetic,
and with such stakes to strive for,
why should we not at least make
the effort 10 hasten the day when
It shall be at our disposal?
Organization viii accomplish
that which individual effort will
totally fail to reach, and what
could be more obvious than the
advantages of an organization of
ilItelllSence ana effort OF owners
OF large acreas of land into a
common policy of self service and
therefore public service? Because
1t necessarily follows that that
which righteously serves The in
dlvldual serves society.
What are the problems con
fronting Georgia Land Owners
which when approached individ-
ually are almost bound to be i'm
possible, or at least impracticable
but when approached collectively
give every promise of successful
Accomplishments Let us name
"a few OF these problems:

Washington, D. C.-Secretary Baker
made formal announcement that the
troop movements of Ohio and Ken
lucky soldiers had nothing whatever
to do with the Mexican situation as
such, and was solely to relieve thou
sands of troops now held in mobiliza-
ton camps only because they lack a
few recruits to bring units up to fixed
minimum strength. The order sends
the troops from Kentucky and Ohio to
the border as soon as they are equip
ped and transportation can be ar
ranged for them, and will move all the
others as soon as they are properly
equipped, with the exception of the
Vermont troops, which will start just
as soon as transportation is possible.
War Department officials decided on
their action because the troops are
restive in camp and there seemed to
be no stimulus to recruiting while
there was no prospect of movement to
the border. They now expect most
of the regiments will be filled before
the troops leave.
The Kentucky, Ohio and Vermont
troops, which will move practically at
once, will add the following units to
the long border line.
Kentucky-One brigade of three
regiments of infantry, one company
signal corps, one field hospital and
one ambulance company, mobilized at
Ft. Thomas.
Cavalry Also Ordered South.
Ohio-Two brigades of three regi-
ments of infantry each, one squadron
cavalry, one battalion field artillery,
one battalion engineers, one battalion
signal corps, three field hospitals, two
ambulance companies, all modified at
Columbus.

$50 DROWNED IN FLOOD
Two Passenger Trains, One Sunday
School Excursion, Missing in
West Virginia.

Huntington, w. Va, Aug. 11.-Gov-
ernOr Hatfield, who arrived here on
Wednesday to attend the state Repub-
lican convention, ordered special re-
lief trains to the Coal river and Cabin
creek districts, where, according to re-
ports, more than $50 have been
drowned and 5000 made homeless. SO
serious is the situation that Governor
Hatfield left the city to go to the scene
of the devastation.
The governor was informed that at
Cabin creek the loss of life would ex-
ceed 100 and that more than 5000
there are homeless. Later reports esti-
mated the damage at $1,000,00O.
The cloudburst occurred at the head
waters Of Paint and Cabin creeks and
Coal river, and the torrent which
surged down Coal river swept it's banks
almost clean of villages, while the
Kanawha river rose several feet.
Near st. Albans are marooned two
passenger trains, one of which is a
Sunday school excursion train.

HOW MOUNTAINS ARE FORMED
Earth crumples Up and Makes Great
Hills Where Plains Once
Lay.

In the region now occupied by the
Wasatch mountains number of par
allel faults were developed close to-
gether and the broken pieces of the
earth'S crust between them were
pushed up, the rocks on one side Of
each crack riding up over those on
the other side until a great mountain
range was formed where once lay a
plain. During the long period of slow
earth movement which made these
mountains, flat-lying parallel beds Of
rock were locally turned on edge,
crumpled up and folded in wonder
fully intricate manner. These up
turned and crumpled rocks are wei ex-
posed. in Ogden canyon. The west face
of the Wasatch range is believed to
mark the place of normal fault at a
nearly vertical crack in the earth's
crust the rocks on the east side OF
which went down. The forces which
have raised these mountains are still
active, for movement along this fault
