May Lose Arctic Collection
Oklahoma is likely to lose the mag-
nificent collection of Arctic animals
and birds made by Professor G W
S-tevens of the Northwestern Normal
school in Alaska last year as the re-
sult of the holding of the attorney
general’s office that the board of pub-
lic affairs would not be justified In
purchasing the Stevens collection for
the Alva school under the appropria-
tion of the last legislature
Professor Stevens had received good
offers for his specimens from mu-
seums all over the country but was
willing to turn them over to the statd
at the hare cost of securing and
mounting them None of the specl-
ments has -been mounted the only
work done so far having been the
thorough curing of the skins to In-
sure their perfect preservation It is
possible that the collection may be
kept intact until a special appropria-
tion may be made for its purchase ’
The collection was secured after
many exciting experiences and great
personal vicissitudes Professor
Stevens obtained his training in zoo-
logy and taxidermy under Professor
L L Dyche of Kansas university
whose collection of American mam-
mals is one of the greatest in the
country and has become a rival of
his former teacher in that line His
next expedition will be to Mexico and

rare specimens to attract the atten-
tion of naturalists

HOMELESS CARED FOR
PROMPT ACTION TAKEN TO CARE
FOR THE STRICKEN ONES’
LIFE LOSS ESTIMATED AT 2000
In
Stricken City Few Have Been
Permitted to Go Hungry
Soup Kitchens Es-
tablished Laredo Tex— While conditions are
gradually being brought back to nor-
mal as fast as willing workers can
bring about results It may be many
days before Monterey will resume Its
wonted tranquility
The various organized relief corps
are busily engaged Committees are
endeavoring to secure Identification
of the dead bodies as they are brought
In by searchers while other commit-
tees are charged with the duty of
seeing to the sheltering and feeding
of the thousands of homeless Hun-
dreds of the victims wander dis-
tractedly about the scene of the
flood hoping against hope that they
may be able to encounter missing rel-
atives or at least recover their bodies
and give them a Christian burial
Prompt measures taken to house
and feed the homeless have proved
effective and very few it any have
been permitted to go hungry Soup
kitchens have been established at
four different places throughout the
city where food and coffee are doled
out to the needy
While the poor are the greatest suf-
ferers the flooded district principally
having been located on the flats along
the east banks of the Santa Catarina
river they are are not alone In their
losses for the rich as well were more
or less Inconvenienced and were
compelled to leave their residences
They did not suffer the loss of fur-
niture as did the poorer elements
Of the four hundred or morb bodies
thus far recovered about 30 per cent
have been identified and were interred
yesterday The balance will be In-
terred by the city authorities today If -not
Identified by friends or relatives
Press reports have estimated the
loss of life at anywhere from 400 to
1200 lives but private Individuals
venture figures even more astonish-
ing A prominent capitalist and busi-
ness man of Monterey has hazarded
the assertion that the death roll will
eventually reach 2000 However It
is thought this estimate may be ex-
aggerated owing to the excitement
and chaotic conditions existing in
Monterey ‘ -
There are several small villages
containing from fifty to one hundred
inhabitants located along the banks
of the river to the south of Monterey
and it is reported that they have been
completely wiped out and the inhabi-
tants drowned
It is on this ground that Mr Tre-
vino the capitalist places his esti-
mate of the loss of life at a higher
figure than has yet been stated
While no American lives were lost
in the catastrophe several Americans
suffered loss of property '
The city remains in darkness
When nightfall comes there is a mot-
ley crowd wending its way in the di-
rection of the scene of the flood
which seems to exercise a deep fas-
cination over them
The bursted water mains have not
yet been repaired but officers of the
company state that they expect to be
able partially to resume the water sup-
ply tomorrow
Tracks Washed Out
Railway telephone and telegraph
communication Is either out of com-
mission or bo badly crippled that it
is practically useless
