Guaymas, Alta ta and Topolobampo were also terri bly damaged by the 6ame wave, which was the result of an earth quake. The hurricane succeeding the wave lasted five days, cutting off communication so that no details of the frightful disaster arrived until word was received from the governor, at Hermoslllo, Sonora, today, asking for provisions', tents and clothing. The governor's dispatch states that from 300 to 500 perished In the ti dal wave and hurricane. It is im possible to estimate the damage in property.

Sabin of the Commercial Club to promote the good roads mat ter and the proposed bond issue Is interesting itself In an effort to get the governor to call a special session of the legislature that an enabling act be created empowering county courts to call special elections for voting bonds for good roads. The committee is composed of II. C, Kin ney, H. L. Gilkey, R. E. Kroh, P. B. Herman and Judge Stephen Jewell. The committee takes an opposite view of the case as is taken In Jack son county, that is, the members of the Grants Pass committee believe that the law Is Inoperative until an enabling act Is created by the legisla ture. Jackson county seems to be proceeding on the ground that If any testing of the law Is to be done that proposed purchasers of the bonds ran take the Initiative. Judge Jewell today stated that be has just written Governor West pro posing that the governor call s spe cial session of the legislature, the law making body to convene for the ex press purpose, and no other, of' pass ing an enabling act. A few days and a law of a few words would settle the matter, ho the governor is reminded. The Josephine official is also writing to Judges in other counties, asking that they write Governor West on the same line. In discussing the matter Judge Jewell took the ground that for spe cial election a method of procedure Is always provided, one for calling pro hibition elections, one for In Ration district elections and so on, and tluil In calling a bond election the court would not know under what form the call was to be made or under whnt form the election would be held. He argued that a special election would cost $2500, hence the 'ourt did not care to mnke a call for a special elec tion without the matter being set out clearly by the legislature.
