PUEBLO.

It seems almost heartless to mem ton anything about the city of Pueblo at this time when grief strick- en people are putting their hearts in- to the work of searching for the dead and attending to the sufferers. other than to express sympathy for the af- fiicted of the city.
 But the impulse may not be re- strained to indicate wonder as to how long a city. a town or community will continue to live with such dan gers threatening. as they often threat en city situated as is this center of manufacturing plants, jobbing houses. and great enterprises.
 Pueblo is at the entrance of the vari- ous passes connecting the eastern and Arkansas river. IL Is the principal city in the largest single irrigated area in the world It could not help being a great distributing point-a great railroad center.
 Thus gaining so many advantages from it's natural location, 1t would seem that the law of compensation of the equalizing of things ruled it.
 At the entrance of the various passes connecting tho eastern and western slopes of Colorado:" therein lies the danger. Always. probably. will it's location make it of ever growing importance: alwa:s will its location bring danger of flood and dis aster until the science of engineering becomes so perfect that a means will be devised to protect it from recur- ring floods when the snow melts above and the augmented river bursts it's bounds.
 The city will be rebuilt. No threat of future danger will take from men their courage to undo the devasta- fn.@Na NawwR

HIGHEST AND LOWEST.
California Has Both. Holding Record
 for Entire United States

Washington, June 7.-The highest and lowest points in the United States are in California, within 90 miles of each other, says a bulletin issued by the Geological Survey. Mount Whit ney, the highest point, is 14.501 feet above sea level and in Death Valley there is a depression that lies 276 feet below sea level.
 The difference in height of these two points is small. however. the Sur vey states, as compared with the difference in the height and depth of land in Asia. Mount Everest rises 29.002 feet above sea level whereas the shores of the Dead Sea lie l. 290 feet below.
 Information in the hands of the survey shows that the point about 40 miles north of the island of Mindanao in the Philippines. This would make the bottom of the sea at that point more than II 1-2 miles below the summit of Mount Everest.

PROPOSE SUPER-PONER PLANT FOR PACIFIC
 NORTHWEST CONSOLIDATING ALL RESOURCES

Portland, Ore, June 23.-A super power plant, which would mean con solidation of all power resources and the construction of a giant transmits sion line through the Northwest, is being considered by engineering au- thoritieS from various parts of the country, who are now in this section investigating the feasibility of the proposition
 At a meeting held in Portland a survey committee of engineers was or ganized, and upon the results of the committees investigation will depend the decisions as to whether the pro- ject will be carried out
 Eastern industrial and power con cerns have professed faith in the su- perpower transmission theory, and construction of such a line between Boston and Baltimore, at huge cost has been proposed Power authorities on the Pacific coast believe the plan would be easier of fulGllment in the Northwest
 The principal feature of the plan would be from the viewpoint of eco nomy. Duplication of lines through the stringing of parellel wires would the district would be -'hocked in'' on one service line, supplying the indus tries of the North Pacific territory
 With all the power plants of the Northwest pooled into one system power reserve would be created which would provide an added re-

Tobacco, canned goods. cakes candies, toilet accessories, athletic goods, etc. are sold for cash. The canteen is literally patronized, and the profit on the New Mexico is reported to be as high as s400 a week. The margin of profit is not allowed to exceed IS per cent. and usually runs about 10 per cent
 In addition to the profits from the canteen the welfare fund is swelled by receipts from the ships photogra- pher and tailoring establishment, cob bier. barber shop, and laundry. The following profits from the various shops go to the welfare fund: Tailor, cent; barber, 5 per cent; laundry. 52 per cent: preser, S5 per cent; cob bier. 35 per cent

 The participation in the athletic events is entirely voluntary, but most of the crew engages in some of the sports at one time or another during the year.

There is a. smile in the navy and the marine corps that men reserve for those that they re- spect and like It is better than any decoration Try to win it.
 On the New Mexico there are snnileS from the men for the officers, indicating that those in command have won the respect and confidence of the crew. On every side there ap- peared to be splendid team work. Commands were given in a quiet tone and every member of the crew ap- peared to take delight in promptly doing anything he was requested to perform.
