Professional Debut

Upon the close of the Civil War
the family returned to New York
and Miss Hauk, with ambitions
for a stage career, began to study
under Signor Errani, then a ia
nous teacher. About 1856 she
made her professional debut and
two years later won the praise of
critics in LA Samnabula. In
1881 Miss Hauk was married to
Baron Ernest Won Hesse-W artegg,
an author and traveller, who died
some time ago leaving her an
estate in Switzerland.
The once-famous diva made her
last appearance in America at
the Metropolitan Opera House in
1891 and three years later, as a
final farewell to the operate
stage, made a brilliant tour of
England, France, Germany and
Italy, appearing in her favorite
role of Carmen. During her
quarter century CT singing Nine.
Hauk sang many other roles but
lit was as Carmen" that she
scored her greatest triumph and
as Carmen" that she took her
departure from the stage.
For the last few years of her
life, Nine. Hauk lived in COM
parative poverty in her Villa
Tribschen, near Lucerne. When
in affluenee she had bestowed
her charities with a lavish. hand
and had sung for many benevo-
fences abroad. Before her death
she was stricken with almost to-
tai blindness.

MUCH TONNAGE
TO BE- HAULED
in BUILDING DAM
PAGE FfvE

Through its affiliation with the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States, the FL Centre chamber has
received details of the application
which is pending before the Inter
state Commerce commission for ex-
tension of the lines of the Los Ang-
eles and Salt Lake railroad, opera
ted by the Union Pacific, from its
main line to the site of the Boulder
Canyon dam on the Colorado river.
The railroad company has SUBMIT
ed to the commission an estimate of
the traffic to be moved over the
proposed new Boulder dam branch
line over five year period in con-
nection with construction work of
the dam. This estimate presupposes
an aggregate of slightly over 5000.
600 tons.
BY commodities. this total is made
up, according to railway estimates,
as follows, the figures denoting
tons:
Cement, 100000; sand and rock,
6,000,000 machinery and steel, S0,-
coo; lumber and ties, 10000; oil
and distillate, 100000; food supplies
ard miscellaneous, 150,000; rails,
fastenings and engines, 5000; wire
and cable, 10000; material for Of
fices and homes for workmen, $780,
600.
If loaded into 80 ton freight ears,
this tonnage would require 267, ,166
! cars for its transport. This would
be the equivalent of a freight train
about 2,67l miles long, or long
enough to reach diagonally across
the United States from the Pacific
Ocean to the Atlantic.
Construction of the aH-American
canal viii develop some huge ton
mage figures, too, the chamber of
commerce points out, and it is like
ly that standard railway tracks will
parallel the route of the canal and
aid the movement of men and ma
terials when work on the huge
waterway begins.

Business Map
Shows Valley
Condition Good

As the accompanying photograph
shows, Imperial Valley still remains
Gin the white,o ON the monthly
map of business conditions issued
by the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States.
Again this area and the area
around San Francisco and San
Diego are the only areas in Califor-
MIA to be shown i'll white, denoting
good business conditions. Two
months ago the national organiza-
tion placed Imperial Valley in the
"fair' division, but upon being
furnished statistics by the Ell Cen
tro Chamber of Commerce, and val
ley leaders, the valley was changed
back to Il white rating.
The close of successful canta-
loupe season, folloVing in the wake
of a splendid lettuce season, finds
Imperial Valley in good condition.
The hay crop has been equally as
spccessful as cantaloupes, and
grapes which are now being ship
ped are bringing good prices
Indications point to a successful
fall season following the usual mid
summer quiet spell. The stimulating
effects of the passage of the Swing
johnson bill will be felt consider
ably this fall and winter, business
leaders here state and there is lit
tie reason to doubt that Imperial
Valley will continue its record OF
staying Gin the white' more con
sistently than any rural section i!

SEABRIGHT, y. j., July 30.U.P)
A heavy rain that fell late yester-
day and last night gave contestants
in the Seabright invitation tennis
tournament the prospects of better
playing conditions as the second day
of play started here today.
The broiling sun that burned the
trim turf courts here Yesterday, took
a heavy toll among the players, and
resulted in at least one outstanding
upset-the defeat of Clara Green's
Pan, eleventh ranking women's star
of the United States.
Miss Greenspan was eliminated in
her second round match by Evelyn
Parson of California, 6-3, 6-l.

Carnegie To
Make Second
Cruise Soon

SAN FRANCISCO, July so. W.P)
The magnetic two-masted
barge Carnegie was being prepared
here today for another cruise of -
months to find out new secrets con
corning deviations in the magnetic
North Pole and general oceanogra-
ply.
The Carnegie docked here Sunday
night after a voyage of more than
q year and its captain, j. P. Ault,
astonished scientists and mariners
with discoveries that had been made.
1t is due to sail again about Sep
tember |.
Ault was cautious in telling the
findings, talking about them brief
ly and remarking that complete
report would be made by the Car
negie Foundation later.
He said it had been determined
that the northern magnetic pole,
which mariners have regarded as
constant, is always changing, al
though the wobble' is not great
Other accomplishment were loca-
tion of mountain range under the
Pacific ocean with peaks as high
as 10000 feet and determination
that Easter island has not disap-
peared as reported but numerous
little islands east of it have van
ishcd below the surface of the Pa
cific due to submarine disturbances
in that vicinity.

New Buick Car
Draws Many To
Roberts Agency

A record number of motorists CON
tinuc to visit the showrooms of Ray
c. Roberts to inspect the 1880 Buick
which made its appearance in FL
Centre last Saturday and Sunday.
The reception accorded the new
Buick is one of the most enthusias-
tic in local automobile history.
The Buick line for 1880, in the
opinion of those who have viewed
it here, has far exceeded the most
optimistic expectations held for it.
The many rumors which stated that
the new Buick was car of distin-
guished beauty, have been verified
by the car itself. Embracing ad-
vances heretofore unseen and un-
heard of in a car selling in or near
its price class, the new Buick is eX-
pected to follow the popularity of
its predecessors. Ali wheelbases
have been heightened, bodies have
been lowered, and line and contour
has been refined. A marked change
has been the Identification of the
radiator, giving it an extremely
smart appearance.
Divided into three series-the 40,
80 and 60--the 1880 Bucks have
wheelbases of 11S, 124 and 132 in
ches. The series 40 includes six
models; the series so, two models
and the series so, six models. The
series 40 motor now develops S0lA
horsepower. Repeated tests made
locally since introduction of the
ears reveal that both motors develop
a speed well in excess of 20 miles
per hour with ease.
One of the outstanding factors in
enhancing the beauty and efficiency
of the neW cars has been she adop-
tion of thermostatically controlled
shutters, covering the radiator core,
This, added 10 the introduction of
Il thin margin radiator shell, gives
the new Buick an exceptionally
smart. front view appearance.
There has also been great interest
manifested III the ingenious road
shock eliminating GevIce which this
year s Buick has introduced and
which, coupled with new type steer
ing assembly, gives to lshe new car
an almost unbelievable ease of steer
ing. The 1880 Buick also introduces
the esloping non glare Windshield
which deflects all glare from APP
preaching lights.
Collectively, the array of refine
ments and Improvements on the 1890
Buick have been unanimously en-
dorsed by the public in the opinion
of Ray c. Roberts.
"Never before in my experience
have l seen a new automobile meet
with such whole-hear;ed and enthu-
siastic approval he declared.
People have speculated and queri-
ed for the past many months as to
.lust what Buick was going to do for
1890. The public felt confiden; that
Buick was going to step out and
startle the industry with something
big this year. They knew that
Buick was determined to maintain
its outstanding leadership in the
fine car field. Their fondest hopes
have been gratified. The new cars
have received more favorable com
ment shan any in Buick history, and
undoubtedly the fiscal year 1880
will prove the greatest selling per
iQd that Buick has yet experience
