PROSPERITY IS NEAR
Says Nation is Rapidly fmer.
ging From Weller Of Waste
and ProdigaI Spending

Washington, d. C.-President Hard
ing, in a letter reviewing the
achievements to date of the Republi
can administration, particularly with
reference to Congress, declares that
surveying the national situation as
a whole, it is plain that we are
working our way out of welter OF
waste and prodigal spending at a
most impressive rate"
I'VE have made much progress and
retrenchment and greatly increased
efficiency" the President asserts. u
cannot but account it monumental
accomplishment which has marked
the work of the extraordinary session
down to the time of it's recess"
Looking to the future, Mr.. Harding
in his letter expresses the confident
hope that Congress, after the recess
and before the end of the extraordin-
airy session, will adopt both the tariff
and taxation measures and that along
with these it will pass the bill to per
nit funding the debt owed us by for
eign governments"
"This, / hope" the President adds,
Twill shortly be followed by arrange
ments under which the debtor coun-
tries will begin paying interest on
their obligations. Likewise am con-
fident that the bill facilitating the
funding of the debt of the railways to
the United States will become law
during the extraordinary session, thus
insuring a large and immediate de-
mand for employment of men now
idle"

TorrentlaI Rains Cause River and
Creek to Burst Through Their
Bounds-Wreckage of Homes
Strew Banks OF Streams.

San Antonio.-With the known list
of dead standing at AZ police officials
believe an estimate of $50 lives lost
as the result of disastrous flood
which struck this city to be conser-
vative one.
The property loss is placed at $5,-
100000 by some business men and
those in charge of reclamation work.
San Antonio was caught without
warming. The rain which caused the
flood fell in the hills along the Olmos
creek.
The electric display accompanying
the storm was the most vivid ever
seen here, as lightning flashed almost
continuously and the thunder doomed
and reverberated through the heavens.
While torrents of rain were still fall
ing in the streets of San Antonio and
the residents unable to get out be-
cause of the downpour, went early to
bed, roar was heard, subdued but
ominous as the flood waters broke
upon the town.
In some parts of the city wall OF
water variously described as 10 to 30
feet high struck with rush that car
ried houses from their foundations,
swept motor cars away, destroyed con-
crete bridges, tore down trees and
poles and ripped up the paving in the
streets like so many pebbles.
The food waters from the San An
tonic river and from Alazan creek,
and small tributaries inundated an
area approximately two miles long by
one-half mile wide including the heart
of the business section and a portion
of the residence section along River
avenue and adjacent streets, as well
as the thickly populated West Side
