San Francisco Earthquake Devastates City and Lisbon?
San Francisco faced a devastating 5:15 a.m. quake that toppled steel and brick structures, sparked widespread fires after water mains failed, and led to Marshal Law as troops patrolled the ruined city. Relief poured in from Congress, states, and millionaires, with San Francisco’s insurers warning of heavy losses and a long recovery ahead.

Irrigation plan eyed for Clear Fork valley project
Judge R F Arnold and Robert Fowler of Graham and H P Farris of Clinton Mo toured the Clear Fork valley last week to obtain subscriptions for a proposed irrigation plant on the Clear Fork of the Brazos below Paint Creek. They reported subscriptions covering 80 000 acres and a plan to build a granite dam and a railway to create water rights for 30 000 acres at 2 50 per acre annually. The project, estimated at about three million dollars, would flood about 6000 acres, with Albany landowners Matthews and Reynolds holding water rights on 20 000 acres. Opinions are divided, but supporters hail it as a transformative boon for Graham and Young County.
