tal damage in the Imperial valley I

list of the dead at Mxicali across

fatalities occurred, brings the
number up to eight. Four Amer

killed. The injured number a
score.
GREAT PRECAUTION
WITH LIBERTY BELL
(Continued from Page 1.)
portunity to view the historical 1
reminder of the War of Indepen- 1
dence. The bell will leave Port- I

the same day, be on exhibition
until 2:30, aud will then be mov
ed to Eugene, Ore., arriving
there at 5 p. m. The people of
Eugene will have 15 minutes in
which to view it. Arriving at
Roseburg, it will be on display
the same length of time, arriv
ing there at 8:15 p. m.
On Friday July 1G, the bell will
be in California. It will reach
Marysville at 12:15 and be on ex
hibition fifteen minutes. At 2
p. m. it will be in Sacramento,
where U will remain for one hour
and then be moved to Oakland
and San Francisco. July 17 will
be Liberty Bell Day at the Expo
sition and people from every cor
ner of the State are expected to
visit the fair on that day.
Every precaution will be taken
by the Southern Pacific in trans

freight ship, where a special
freight car and switch engine

will be placed on a truck and

the city to the fair grounds.

Wm. Hill Well on
Road to Recovery
William lllll, who sufforcd a
sovcro accident at tho Dooth
Kolly mill several weeks ago,
has left tho hospital, ami the
bandages havo boon removed
from his head whero tho saw
had cut gashes Into his skull.
Ho was bothered for a fow days
by spots appoarlng before his
oyes, duo to tho fact that the
vision center of tho brain had
been injured, but this trouble Is
wearing away.
WOOD PAVEMENT
UP-KEEP IS SMALL
(Continued from Pngo 1.)
because of the decay of tho un
treated plank foundation. A
treated wood pavement has been
In use on Tenth street, Minnea
polis, for 11 years and is still In
good condition. Pavements laid
In Indianapolis In 1S9D to 1000,
gave 14 to 17 years of service.
In fact, wherever wood block
pavement has been laid under
tho right conditions and meth
ods, It has proven satisfactory.
While th first cost of treat
ed wood block material is un
doubtedly higher than that of
most paving material, it is in re
ality the most economical bo
cause it shows the lowest aver
age cost por year during its per
iod of life. The first cost aver
ages from $2.25 to $3.75 per
square yard, but the yearly up
keep averages much less than
for any other kind of pavement.
For instance, wood pavement on
a heavy traffic street in New
York, after eight years of use,
had cost 7 cents per square yard
per year for repairs. Wood
pavement on a light traflic street
in St. Louis, which cost $2.10 per
square yard to lay in 1903, re
quired the expenditure of but
2-10 of a cent per square yard
for the entire first nine years of
its life.
Furthermore, the modern
treated wood block pavement is
admitted to be fully .is sanitary
as any of the other pavements
in use. On account of the smooth
surface and well filled joints.
dirt cannot collect In pockets
and whatever is on the surface
is 'easily removed. Then, too,
treatment of the . blocks with
creosote renders them thpr
oughly antiseptic.
