TWELVE HUNDRED PEOPLE PER-
ISH AT MONTERY, MEXICO.
Monterey, Mexico, Aug:. 29. — At
r.oon today it stopped raining for the
first time since last Thursday after-
noon, and some idea of the horrors
of the flood Friday nigfot and Satur-
day could be obtained.
It was at first reported that 800
lives were lost in the disaster, but
tcday shows that the number of dead
will reach 1,200, and perhaps more.
The river has fallen considerably,
and, while still high, - the danger is
now over. Seventeen and a half inch
es of rainfall is the official record
during Friday Saturday and today.
This rain was a steady downpour and
at no time appraoched the status of a
cloudburst. I
The river was higher than it has 3v-
er iheen in the history of Monterey and
at one time the Plaza Zaragoza, thu
highest part in the city, was flooded

Red-headed persons are joked
about on and off the stage ,and are
generally considered quitiki tempered
and pnone to get into troube. To the
credit to the red-heads be it said,
however, that out of the 3,500 convicts
in the Texas penitentiary, only one
man with auburn locks can be found.
—Quanah, Texas, Tribune-Chief.
Of course the fact that the Tribune •
Chfef man is capped with an auburn
hirsute causes him to grow chesty be
cause there are none of his color in
the pen. But the red-headed theory
as to lightning temper applies only
to ladies who have also divengent
strabismus. Try the meekness theory-
there ana report results.

Two priests were with them, and,

the walls fell and the whole ninety

Thousands of people were standing
on the north 'bank of the river, unable
to render aid to the unfortunates on
the buildings on the south side, for
nothing could have lived in the cur-

When the board of directors of the
Booster Club met Monday evening in
the club rooms in the New State
building, H. H. Olmstead was pres-
ent and outlined his plans of estab-
lishing an alfalfa meal manufacturing
plant in the cojnty seat .
The proposition was discussed from
every view point. It was stated that
fot' $15,000 an alfalfa mill and ice
plant combined could be built and
equipped, and that the same would be
a fine paying investment. Given foe-
lcw will be found a very conservative
estimate of the cost and gain on an
afalfa mill alone.
An example of one day's work of ten
hours with a CO horse power alfalfa
meal machine.
Manager $4.00
Two feeders at $2 4.09
One machine tender 4.00
One sacker and weigher 3.00
One ton of good steam coal.... 5.GJ
400 sacks at 7c each 28.00
Incidental expenses, taxes ... 2.00
20 tons alfalfa at $10 200.00
Total expenses for 1 day 250.00;
Present wholesale price of alfal-
fa meal at $2J per ton and
20 tons per day 400.00
Deduct expenses 250.00
Net igain 150.00
At this rate for 100 days run you
have $15,(MK) profit on your mill clear
and the neat sum of $2,000 over, and
above every expense for 100 days run,
which is a very conservative estimate
for a year.
We consider that every a«re of al-
falfa that is within hauling distance
of this mill will double in price within
one year, and if this mill is located
here it will cause three times tha
present acreage to be sown, meaning
many thousands of dollars to the
farmers.
The Beacon is convinced that this
industry is the most needed of any we
are working for and we hope to see
Mr. Olmstead succeed in establishing
this plant and also to connect *n ica
plant. It is said that with a local ice
plant, ice could be sold at retail 25
certs per hundred, and at this price
every one of the Beacon's readers,
whether in town or country could have
ice seven days in the week. A farmer
could take home a cake of ice on Sat-
urday and it would last until the next
Saturday. Just think of the cald
milk, cold butter and ice cream.—
Cordell Beacon.
TESLA TO MAKE RAIN.
iNicola Tesla who in the field of elec
trical accomplishment divides honors
with Edison, is quoted in the news-
papers as expressing the belief that
science will soon discover the means
of harnessinigt another force of naluro
or iby using a force already partir
under control, be able to produce or
prevent rain at the will and option of
the operator. And this too in re-
stricted or widely-extended areas.
The crude efforts and disappointing
results of the rain-maker up to date
serves as a kind of standing joke, but
if Tesla says it can be done, then we
shall wait a while and suffer no se-
rious shock of surprise if this wizard
of the electric sphere makes good. He
has done so many impossible things
that perhaps his stock of accomplish
ments is not yet exhausted.
But would it not be a practical res-
toration of the Garden of Eden right
here in Greer county, if one could till
his farm and garden during the week
with the full assurance that at sun-
down Saturday the gentle patter of
the rain-drops on the roof would lull
to sweet repose the righteous and fur-
nish to the wicked, even to the boot-
legger and his patrons, these regularly
recurring periods of opportunity to
render thanks.
And then when we have rain to or-
der we shall place the thermometer
at about 75 and Issue to it the same
command that the old Isrealite war-
rior placed on the sun-stand still.
When one of these blistering winds
from the Texas plains starts in to in-
vade grand old Greer, we shall have
our rain operator suspend a cloud ov-
er the channel of Red river which no
amount of plains caloric shall be able
to penetrate. Controlling the heat
from the south we shall also establish
a warm rain belt to the north for use
in winter and with it melt the nose
and the toes of these beastly blizzards
from Kansas that have been wont *o
swoop down over our broad acres of
deep alluvium and congeal the rich
blood of shivering mortals on the
high-ways. When that time comes
we shall during the first year repro-
duce all the glories of Bdcn except
tbe fig leaves, and we shall have plen-
ty of them grown by the beginning of
the second year after Teela makes it
rain.
