New Mexico state record. (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1914-19??, 1921-06-10

Denver, June 6.-Friday, June 3, was
n dark day In the history of Pueblo,
Colorado's second city. Flood waters
from the Arkansas and Fountain riv-
ers devastated the business and lower
residence sections of the town, sweep
ing away hundreds of houses and caus-
ing great loss of life. Reports 10 date
show property loss will run into mil
lions, while constantly dead bodies
are being found, until the death roll
shows upwards Of 200. Flood waters
fill n large portion of the city, and
Saturday and Sunday AS they receded
new horrors were revealed. In some
places the water was reported seven
teen feet deep.
Puhlo's union depot was in the CEN
ter Of the flooded area, which reached
from the high cliffs on which the bet
ter residence portion Of the city is lo-
Gated at Seventh street to west of the
station. Practically all in that lower
section is destroyed. From Friday
night TO Sunday the city was without
light or water, street cars stopped,
fires became frequent and with no
chance to fight them, soon consumed
many business and residence blocks.
Tie flood was augmented by a sec
ond c%loudburst Saturday which
wrought greater havoc. sunday, with
the breaking Of Beaver dam, eight
,,ft,. r.r,I % El,r.p.a aud a terrific
%cloudburst about 3 p. m, the stricken
city is in a most pitiful condition. The
Arkansas river rushed down again and
he receding waters were given fresh
Impetus. II is impossible to tell the
extent Of this dire disaster.
Pueblo is under martial law. the
Colorado National Guard and Colorado
Rangers being in complete control of
the city. Looters have been arrested
by the dozen and several shot. Armies
OF rescuers worked day and night to
save persons caught in the flood and
who could not reach safety before the
great nine-foot wall OF water struck
the city.
Denver & Rio Grande train No. 3
and Missouri Pacific train No. II were
caught in the flood and both turned
turtle. As each carried numbers of
passengers. IT is not now known how
many persisted.
Railroad and wagon bridges are out
north. south and west of Pueblo. and
IL is difficult 10 get relief to the
stricken city. Denver sent a special
train Of clothing, food. blankets and
other necessary equipment Saturday
night. Red Cross nurses and helpers
accompanied this train with a full sup
ply Of emergency material. The Sal

Damage Can Not Be Estimated.

Pueblo, Colo.--No estimate of the
actual property damage from flood
here or loss OF life can be made at
this time. Conditions are beyond de-
scription. Virtually every building
from the p~ostoffice to the square be-
yond the Union station on Union We
nue. was completely wiped out. In adj
dition to the havoc wrought by the
water, buildings undermined by the
i%nundation have caved in causing a
scene of desolation and horror be-
yond anything ever seen in Colorado.

Justice to the Bedbup.

Many times the bedbug has been
accused of transmitting disease, but
the investigating scientist of the
United States public health service
says the bug apparently has been
charged with wrOngdOing when not
guilty, as the pest has no way save
the mouth in which to carry germs
and is too busy eating to make mouth
germs of any special danger. How
ever. the flea, louse and mosquito have

Much More Space Needed.

Hearings are to be held on Mr..
Langley's bill In the near future.
From extensive Investigations | have
made" said Mr.. Langley, Il find that
this government is far behind all the
other leading countries in having an
up-to-date botanic garden. Such an
institution has always been strong In
the diffusion Of knowledge and scien-
tlfic discoveries. This must be cor
rected. | believe the difficulty is be-
cause the existing institution has been
badly cramped for space.
my idea is to give 1t plenty of
ground for development, and at the
same time keep 1t close to the center
of population. especially so that wish
tors may easily find it and spend some
time there without having TO waste
half a day going out 4 Rock Creek
park, where some time ago it was pro-
posed to remove 1t, or the Hamilton
tract. ON the road to Baltimore, where
more recently there has been a pro-
posal to place it."
Representative Langley protests al
so that the garden should not be "clut-
tered" up with monuments. He be-
lieves that it was fair neither to the
garden nor the Grant memorial to place
the latter where II is backed up to-
wards the capitol, and SO crowded
among shrubbery that no one gets a
fair view of its proportions"
The Langley bill proposes to take
two blocks west of the present site of
the garden. between Maryland and
Missouri and Third and Sixth
streets. and add them to the care
of the garden. The government al
ready owns these squares.

WHAT A|LS OUR
FOREIGN TRADE
EUGENE MEYER, JR., DISCUSSES
CONDITIONS THAT AFFECT
BUSINESS ADVERSELY.
OUR OWN MARKET TOO SMALL
Exports Of Manufactured Goods Will
More and More Become Dominant
Factor in Americas International
Trade, Says This Expert.
BY EDWARD 3. CLARK.

Observation-Disclosures to Eugene
Meyer, Jr., managing director of the
war finance corporation, American
manufacturers are adversely affected
by foreign trade conditions at this time
chiefly in two ways. The first concerns
the goods which should find their
way to foreign consumers, and the
other concerns the goods which would
find IA very much improved domestic
market if the buying power of our own
people were increased by an improved
foreign market for the great mass of
our agricultural and mineral products.
A large part of our territory has
endured a prolonged financial strain,
Mr.. Meyer says. owing to the inability
to move goods and to liquidate loans,
and the commercial congestion neces-
sarily has been paralleled by a finan-
cial congestion.
The markets for our manufacturers
are radically and unfavorably affected
by the failure of our OWL market to
take, in usual volume, the goods which
we normally import. This is particu-
larry true of imports from South AMER
lea and via. A better buying power
on the part of our own markets in GER
tain commodities would, Mr.. Meyer be-
~lieyes, improve the market for our
manufactured goods in the lands that
produce those commodities. 1T is
clear that the whole structure of our
domestic business is intimately affect
ed, directly and indirectly, by our for
eign trade" said he. 'Our imports of
food products and raw materials in
fluence our export markets, and our
exports of other food products and raw
materials make, to "A great degree, u
domestic markets for manufactured
goods. Any sound constructive step
which would tend to overcome, in
whole or in part, the present difficult
ties would be of tremendous help to
manufacturing interests as II great
department of our economic activi-
ties.

Pressure for Disarmament.


The administration is feeling
an increasing pressure in favor of
the United States taking the lead in
a movement among the major
nations for a reduction in arnaments.
1t was this pressure that influenced
the President TO withdraw his opposi-
ton to the Borah amendment to the
navy appropriation bill, an amend
ment which suggests that the Presi-
dent invite Great Britain and Japan
to join this government in "A confer
ence looking TO a greater reduction In
ornaments.
In Withdrawing It's opposition to
the Borah plan the administration was
careful TO let il he known that IL was
not obliging itself to carry out the
suggestion of the Borah amendment
in case the house should accept II and
il should become a part of the navy
appropriation bill rs finally passed.
Congress understands that the Presi-
dent reserves the right to take up the
question Of disarmament in his own
time and In his own way. II is very
well understood that the administra-
ton has placed disarmament on its
program of things which IL hopes even
tually to accomplish, but II is not the
understanding that the number is to-
ward the top Of the program.
Secretary Of State Hughes has In
dicated from time to time that before
such questions as disarmament. asso-
citation of nations, and other matters
of supreme world Importance can be
given thoughtful consideration. many
smaller matters of international
import must be disposed of. A ia

Trend of Our Foreign Trade.

"Whether we look al the problem of
of view of the immediate situation, or
from the point of view of develop
mcnts In the future, il seems clear that
the exports of American manufactured
goods, under more normal conditions,
will more and more become the doni-
nant fnctor In the position of our coun-
try in International trade. Our eX-
ports of foodstaffs have been large In
recent years, and are large now, but
prior to 1914 they showed a tendency
toward a steady decline. Our trade
with foreign lands is tending, In the
long run, to develop more rapidly in
the direction Of the expectation of
manufactured goods. And in proper
tion to the growth of our exports of
manufactured products the question
of our international finances will be-
come an increasingly important part
of our international economic relations
and policies.
"EuroIe's financial organizations
for International trade were developed
for the purpose of financing manu-
featured exports. The marketing Of
raw materials and agricultural prod
nets is a much simpler business than
the marketing of manufactured goods.
In short, foreign trade Is peculiarly a
problem for the future that calls for
the best thought Of manufacturers and
bankers
Mr.. Meyer believes that the devel-
opment of personnel and organization
for future foreign trade and finance
will he n gradual growth.

shey drive in.
The time was when livery stable
was great social institution.
When young men wished to win
the favor OF the bellies of the town
the first thing was to invite them
for a Sunday afternoon or evening
drive. Strict moralist viewed these
excursions with some disfavor. One
man went so far as to say that no
man ever went buggy riding with
a girl with proper motives, but
public sentiment never sustained
that point of view.
In many moderate sized towns,
there would be several stables each
of which would have so or 60 horses
champing away and switching their
tails while waiting for some amor
Gus swain or commercial traveller
who might desire services. A fel-
low who wanted to take his best
girl out on a Sunday afternoon,
needed to speak for beast at least
a week ahead.
The present is sometimes called
a horseless age. But great many
more horses are being used than
some people think. The Ohio cen.
sus OF 1920, for instance, showed $40,
692 OF them on the farms of that
state alone, not counting those us

and pleasure purposes Old Dobbin

TOULOUSE SEEKS
AID IN ROUNDUP
FOR SOLDIERS
Benefit Rodeo Will Help in
Staging National Conven-
ton Here Means Much
Money Here.

The following letter has been
received by the Journal from Major
]. II. Toulouse, national organizer
for the Disabled Soldiers, league:
Editor Journal;
Dear Sir: Next week the Tri-
State Cowboys Roundup will be
held. This roundup is truly a
benefit for the disabled soldiers.
Six months before we planned the
affair, Mr.. Watkins, then secretary
of the chamber of commerce, had
been in communication with Gar
lrett & Woolsey trying to get them
to Albuquerque to put on this
rodeo.
At the time these gentlemen Wis
|ited the chamber for conference
with Mr.. Watkins, 1 had just re-
turned home from Washington,
where / had been successful in Sc
curing the next national encamp-
ment of. the National Disabled Sol
diers' league. This convention was
secured at my own expense and /
was glad of the opportunity and
proud to offer the city as the logi-
cal place for the next meeting of
the league.
The attendance at that conven-
ton will number more than two
thousand, and may I say that San
Francisco has just succeeded in
securing the next national conven-
