WinsLOU Bridge
Washed Out Again

For the second time this summer
the west approach to the Cottonwood
Wash bridge on the Winslow-H Holbrook
highway was swept away when tor
rental rains in the upper country
poured down upon it last Thursday
evening.
The crest of the flood struck the ap-
proaches about 9 o'clock, the west sec
ton topping into the raging torrent.
Scarcely "a hours after the dam
age from the last flood, which Grip
pied traffic over this section of the
National Old Trails highway, had been
repaired and motorists resumed travel
with all detours eliminated, the flood
waters once more halted motorists on
both sides of Cottonwood Wash.
The bridges at Manila and Leroux
washes were not damaged, and tour
lists returned to Holbrook to spend the
night, while all east-bound traffic was
held over in Winslow.
Repair work is expected to be start
ed Immediately after the waters re-
cede sufficiently to allow the work tC
proceed -Winslow Mail.

NOw You Tell One

Skull Valley, Matches in his
blouse pocket perhaps saved the life
of T. N. T. Smith, who was bitten by
a rattlesnake while sleeping on the
ground
Smith was walking, last week, from
Chloride to Bueno when he wearied of
the distance. He lay down under
mesquite bush for a nap. While
sleeping a rattlesnake struck at him,
hitting his blouse pocket, in which
|Smith carried his matches. The
snakes strike ignited the matches,
thus soaring the reptile away, and at
the same time cauterizing the wound
Smith is being treated for sulphur
poisoning.

Steel Weed
Purdue University ldenti-
fits Bright Flowers
Along Roads.

Tn United Press
E7AFAYETTE, Ind, Oct. 90
ii Many inquiries have
come to Purdue liver
sity regarding the nature of
the now bright. sparkling,
white blossoms along Indiana
roadsideS, which has been identi-
lied as steel weed.
Steel weed, according to A. A.
Hansen of the extension staff is
similar to iron weed, in that it
becomes so tough as to dull the
blades of moving machines and
scythes. Steel weed is also known
as farewell summer and fall white
top.
1t is especially troublesome in
poor pasture land, from which it
can be driven away by soil i'm
provement, although in corn,
wheat ;ssld clover rotations it may
also invade the clover. This can
be prevented by more careful
preparation of the land for corn
and an extra cultivation of the
crop.

BUYING Of RA|L
STOCKS BRISK

NEW YORK. Jan. S1.--Industrial
stocks in the early trading today
were under the influence Of the short
covering which produced the closing
rally OF prices on Saturday. The
weekend developments In the CHI
nese, Nicaraguan and Mexican
rsituations" were generally favor
able, and the Street was inclined to
ignore the 5000, 900 deficit reported
in the weekly clearing house state
ment.
Brisk buying was resumed in a
number OF railroad stocks, including
New Haven and Chesapeake and
Ohio. New financing of the latter
system in the amount Of 100000, 600
is expected to take the form OF q
stock issue, the Interstate Com
merce Commission having refused to
sanction bond issue to reimburse
the Treasury for expenditures on
capital account. Strength In New
Haven Is due to expectation of a re-
sumption of dividends this year.
Buoyancy in the industrials was
generally confined to stocks in
which heavy short interest existed.
General Motors sold up 23 and
Baldwin advanced about q point. Mo.
tors and independent oils were firm,
with Sinclair preferred leading the
latter group. This stock sold at lob,
the highest price In the history Of
the company, and reflected the
gradual strengthening Of the finan-
cial position OF Sinclair consolidated.
Professionals were active in the
tobacco stocks and a few of the
specialties, but outside speculative
interest in these stocks was negli.
gible. Stocks of the amusement
companies were pushed along to
slightly higher price levels, under
the lead Of Loews Inc, which sold
above So. Tire stocks and, automo-
bile accessory stocks were also in
clined to slightly higher levels.
The commodity markets were
quiet. with prices steady. Cali
money renewals 4 per cent, un.
changed from last Saturday.

u, s. PREDICTED

If the United States keeps up its
present rate of growth the country
will have a population of well over
226, 500, 900 in the year 1000.
This estimate was based upon the
announcement today by the Bureau
of the Census, that by July l, the
population will have passed lis ,628,-
600, a gain tof 1882 900 in a year
and 12,91S,00O since 1920.
Pennsylvania gained 1,1O9,g9S In
population. between 1920 and 1927.
New York increased 1,0S7,77S in the
same period and California, 1906
1S9. New York led in population
with II, 423. 900, followed by Penn
sylvania with 9,730,000.
In order to support the vast 'fu'
ture population Secretary of Com
merce Hoover believes that great
progress must be made in the better
utilization of raw materials. elm
nation Of industrial waste, develop
ment of water and power resources,
in science and other fields, that
living standards may be maintained.
Public health reports show that
the average span Of life is increas-
ing, partially from greater progress
in medical science and sanitation,
and partially from elimination of
devitalizing manual labor possible
through labor-saving devices.
