TWO BURIED WHEN
 STREET CAVES IN UNDER FIRE TRUCK
Workmen at Tulsa Almost Rescued, When Another
 Cave Occurs.

Tulsa, Okla., July 22.-E. D. Bal lard and Elmer Pinyon, workmen, were crushed to death this afternoon while repairing a broken water main, when .cave-in covered them under tons of paving and earth.
 It was at first feared that five men had been buried, but all were later accounted for.
 The bodies of both men were re- covered at 6 o'clock tonight, after workmen had dug frantically to res cue them for four hours.
 The accident occurred near viaduct on Third street, and was caused by the backing of a five-ton fire engine to the edge of the embankment. The street gave way and the engine fell in.
 Workmen succeeded in nearly eX- tricating the two laborers after hard work, but another avalanche buried them.

statistics and standards of the Cham Der of Commerce of the United States has been Investigating this subject, and now asserts that some 75, 5,O0O,0OO acres of this vast area can be re- claimed for agriculture. What this reclamation, if effected in part or in whole, would mean is indicated by the fact that the area available is about 72 per cent. of the entire crop and twice the average acreage plant ed to cotton.
 It is stim ulating to think of what this reclamation would mean for the United States in the way of agricul- tural development, but one must not stop there in order to understand it's marvellous value to the nation and to humanity. Reclamation would mean enormous additions to our crops: it would mean the development of new

and thriving communities, the in- crease of population and the building Of new railroads; but it would also mean marked increase in the health of the public, for swamps are the breeding places of disease carrying insects. It is remembere that in the early nineties of the last century it was demonstrated beyond question that malaria was transmitted by a species of mosquito and that there was no other possible method of in- lection. All that was necessary to prevent malaria was to avoid being bitten by this mosquito. One needs but to look to the Panama canal to understand what reclamation means. The canal zone was 8 death trap be- fore American engineers and scient- lstS conquered it. The tragic failure of the French to dig the waterway was attributed to the existence .of mosquitoes.

Justice BrandciS' Opinion.
(Brooklyn Eagle.) )

The decision of the supreme court of the United States in the Pacific coast rates case was announced by Associ- ate Justice Louis D. Brandeis and the opinion is by Justice Brandeis. The transcontinental railroads are wholly sustained. The complainants are thrown out of court.
 Sacramento and 1S1 other cities and towns not on the coast elaine ed equal rates from the east with San Francisco under the ong-and-short- haul clause of the interstate com merce law. They insisted that the element of water competition did not really exist because of the blocking of the Panama canal. If there was no real water competition for railroads carrying freight to San Francisco to meet, then the restrictive clause would apply. viz. that no road can charge more for a short than a long haul

BIue-RibbOn Rivalry,

The passing of James Braid, the great golfer, recalls the fine sports manship which surrounded his keen rivalry with J. H. Taylor the English star.
 Braid and Taylor were fighting rivals for over twenty years. One rep resented Scotland and the other Eng land. Each had won five champion ships and with Vardon they were nearly always 1-2-3. But when Braid wasn't winning he was always pulling hard for Taylor to lead, and when Taylor saw his chances slipping he in turn pulled for Braids success.
 So here there was a rivalry without the slightest jealousy or envy, the finest, highest type of rivalry the game could know. Both liked Vardon, but With nothing apprOa ching the same affection.

Beating the Giants.

The apparent prepondcrance of Giant power for 1917 proved to be one of the main topics at the x. L.. con- clave. It was generally agreed that, so far as the present status of the dope was concerned, MCGraW had much the best lineup in his circuit.
 The evidence in the case showed that, after he had once rounded out his machine and started the same in motion, the Giants blew themselves to about eight victories out of ten starts They went for month at one stretch before they were beaten. Granting the we'll known and justly celebrated uncertainty of the game, a ball club that looked to have the power put on display by the Giants last fall is sure to be prime favorite next spring. The one chance for an upset is for Brooklyn, Philadelphia or Boston to improve about e per cent. before the April barrier is lifted
