Dikes on the Mexican eide be low Juarez gave way but the cre ation of several small new chan nels. It is believed, will divert force of the water from two sharp benda where pressure was the greatest and will avert serious damage. Crews are working feverishly under direction of L. M. Lawson. project manager of the reclama tion service, strengthening weak spota in the dikes along the Rio Grande river near El Paso as a precaution against the flood. Sacks, shovels and lanterns havo been obtained from Fort Bliss, and Brigadier General Jos eph Caster, officer In command, has offered the use of soldiers and trucks. Arroyos at Hatch and Rincon, N.

This detour was about five miles long and over a rough and dan gerous road, which has been prac tically abandoned; tourists were cut out of about four miles of pav ed road. The obstruction, which the con tractor claimed necessitated the detour was only 150 yards In length, and the county court last night ordered that some easier way around bo provided. As a result of this action cars are being al lowed through todny and it Is ex pected that a short detour will be arranged through an adjoining field. The '.fork is being done at the north approach of the new Oak land bridge and overhead. A steam shovel is being lifted to dig out dirt for the fill and the heavy trucks hauling the dirt keep the highway blocked much of the time.

SALEM, OREGON, SATURDAY, AUGUST 1, 1925 MARKER OF WOOD SHOWS E Stone Memorial for Bryan Planned Later; Broken Family Circle Still In Washington. Washington, Aug. 1. A simple wooden marker, set aside the withering clusters of blossomy that hid his grave, alone marked tho last resting plaee of William Jennings Bryan in Arlington na tional cemetery. Just over the hillcrest stand the row on row of white head stones above the soldier dead who lost their lives in France. Closer about the more Imposing monu ments of tho officer dead with whom he keeps his last encamp ment and all about are the signs of the orderly reverent care with which the nation surrounds the last sleep of those it has called to its service. Plan Stone Memorial One day a stone memorial will be erected to tell in graven let tering that the commoner lies here on this peaceful slope. But It is yet too soon for the stricken widow, the brother, the children and the grand children of the dead to have made their plans for that permanent testimonial to their love. The broken family 'circle was still in Washington today, gath ering again the threads of every day things of life to which they must turn back. Other members of the family planned to leave tonight for their homes. Former Governor Charles W. Bryan expected to go direct to Omaha and prepare to fill the lec ture engagement he has made for the weeks ffhend. Those of them who could planned to stay on a day or two with the mother. Widow Cheerful After the last service at the gravo Inte yesterday many of the old political antf personal friends of the commoner left for their homes and others boarded their trains today. There, was no defi nite step taken among them to ward a memorial to the dead leader, nor is it likely that the question will be opened until Mrs. Bryan has Indicated her wishes. The widow appeared well and cheerful todny after a night's rcstiul sleep and It is considered probable that she would leave for Florida with her household to night. William Jennings Bryan, the son, will accompany her. "Mrs. Bryan continues to be a marvel of resolution, of faith, nnd trust," Walter E. Thompson, the Bryan secretary said. "She deeply grieved, hut fs sustained In a wonderful way In her sorrow by her faith. She Is quite cheer ful." Today a group of the faithful friends and attendants of Mrs. Bryan In her hours of grief visilrd places of interest In the city as guests of tho bereaved woman. STILL MANAGER New York, Aug. 1. (A.

Lo ml on , Aug. 1 ( A I ) Not -withstanding tint Die financial as sistance wbif'h the government Is to glvo to tho mine owners will add, according to unofficial figures something lie 10.000,000 pounds sterling to the country's budget, there Is a great sense of relief that a miners strike affecting more than a million me:i has been prevented. Strike noticeH had been Issued several days no to tako effect nt midnight ln.st night, and tho carry ing out of tho threat was averted only by the lat minute offer of the government to give financial aid to tho mine owners to enable them to maintain tho present wage scale. The agreement carrying the present scale of wnges, was to have expired nt midnight and It was a new ngrcenirnt proposed by tho mine owners to supercede It with Its clauses Involving decreased wagen and' a longer working day that brought the strike threat. Under the arrangements made yesterday to prevent a strike which would have caused one of the worst Industrial calamities In re cent times, the miners will remain at work receiving the same wages as they did under the old agree ment, and remain In the pits the same number of hours each day ns at present. The government will grant financial help to the owners until May 1, 1926. If In any month the wanes paid to the men exceed the recognized ratio of division between wages and profits are lower In any dis trict, then tho wanes payablo at the minimum percentage under the agrerinent the exchequer will make up, the deficiency. In any month In which tho estimated av erage profit of a district In which subvention Is payable exceeds fif teen pence per ton, the excess will be used In the reduction of the amount of the subvention. Yett'rd.iy's victory for the min ers, for they regarded It as fiu;h. has brought joy to the entire labor world nnd the labor leaders at tributed It to the solid support giv en to, the miners by the trade union movement.
