From Rattlesnake tank, five miles east of GiIa City, to within half mile ol Yuma, the track is thoroughly demor- alzed. A work train went out from Yuma yesterday with several carloads of ties to repair damages, and it is reported that crew of 200 men is working from the eastern end. It is therefore only a
 question of few days when communi- cations will be opened in both directions

all were fife on high land, A few whose houses were on comparatively high ground began constructing small levees in houes of saving their homes; for should the water even get to the sides of the adobe houses, orlv a few moments would be required to so soften the walls that their destruction could not be pre- vented.

 SCENE WAS APPALLING.
 The Colorado river on the north side of town was a mad, seething torrent East from Main street down as far as the round-house and out as far as the eye could reach, was one continuous stretch of water. The penitentiary hill was an island A few who were the fortunate posseSsors of skiffs brought them into town and used them in helping to save the property of those who had not time to get their hou -ehold effects out before the water caught them. Boats could go anywhere on Main street, from the old Capitol saloon to the Yuma Exchange, 10 the Colorado Hotel, and up Gila street and Maiden Lane to the round house.

 and still rising. At noon the gauge in the Colorado river showed ? feet of water, with no signs of diminution. Last spring the same gauge, at the time when the river is supposed to be highest, showed only A feet of water. At 4p. m. the gauge registered 27 feet ? inches the highest point. where the water stood until nearly six o'clock.
 When the railroad was built there was spur track laid from the main line down to the freight depot. This track was continued down past the ship yard and an embankment was thrown nearly across the arroyo which runs from the Colorado up through the rincon. This narrowed up the outlet, and kept the water back in town. Early in the morn ing Capt. Ingalls, sent lot of men from the hill to cut away this embankment and open up wider channel, It was not until nearly night that enough had been accomplished to make much difference in the outflow, and about this time the

SPECTACLE OF BEVASTATIOs
Unparalleled in the History of
 Yuma.

Last Tuesday morning the soIdest m habitant," with his ears sadly Tapping III the gentle brrezes, and a general air of dejection penetrating his whole being, walked slowly over the hill. As he reached the crest he turned and pazed for moment upon the scene whlci. lay spread out at his feet While he looked the melancholy light in his eye deepened aud his face assumed the ashen hue of despair. Like Othello, his occupation was gone. He Was no longer the only map who had seen the like. The tender foot andi the carpet-bagger were at last his equal; and as he realized that for the last time he had told with telling effect the story of the wonderful flood Of '62. ne brushed away the binding tears, turned his face toward the setting sun. and slowly passed out of sight. Poor fellow! he has gone to his last resting place, and while he had many good qual- ities and noble traits, we cannot pause to gIve him more than passing tribute. His memory will be kept ereen-for he left large family; and so long as there IS left in Yuma person who resided here this week, there will be found men and women who will gather their children around them in the twilight and tell them of the great flood of 1884. Sic t,,an- cit g1Oriq oldest irhabitant.
 All day la't Sunday reports were com ing in that the upper Gila and Salt riv- CTS were rising rapidly. For week pre- Tious hardly day had passed without bringing the news of some severe rain storm or cloud-burst in the interior of the Territory, and from the alarming manner with winch the lower Gila began To rise It became apparent that
 FLOOD WAS COMING.
 The first notification received here was telegram from Geo. ". Norton, at Texas Hill that the GiIa was flooding that sec ton. Anxious eyes watched the influx of water in the laguna on the east border of town, but the rise was so slow and steady that many thought the town would es- cape. By Monday noon the situation be. came more serious, although further
 
 rise of eighteen inches was needed to carry the water over the levee which had been constructed years ago to protect that portion of town from the annual rise of the Colorado. However, a number of men began work at once to build up the ievee in the lower places. Late in the at- ternoon Supervisor Chas. Baker, of Adonde, came down and reported his ranch under water, and a still further rise in progress up the river This made previous apprehension almost absolute certainty, and while hoping against hope, all whose houses were in danger beran preparations for moving to higher lands. About two o'+l 'ck Tuesday morning the water broke the lovees and came rushing into Gila street with q

WATER COMMENCED REcEDING.

From nine o'clock Tuesday morning until Thursday there was a succession of catastrophes which told dismal tales of destruction end devastation. Every few moments the sound of crashing tim bers and loud splash would greet lhe ears. and tell all too plainly the story f ruined homes. Wherever the water touched the houses are doomed. Hun dreds of people are houseless, and net only without shelter, but in many in stances without food, and with scarcely enough raiment to cover their bodies from the cold winds and piercing mois- ture. Many have lost their all.

THE LOSS

cannot te fully realized in it's intensity except by those who have really suffered Without help, and that immediately, God knows how it will all end. A relief com mi ittee should be formed and those in need should be aided. The greater DOT ton of the loss falls upon our poorer citi- zens-the ones that could afford it least.
 At this hour it is impossible to tell the full extent of the loss. Property to the extent of fully $50, 900 has been destroyed. The heaviest losers are A. Lorette, Mrs. J. L. Smith, A. G. Ringwald, J. ". Dor rington and Chris. Horner. The fortu- nate ones are few among those who owned property m the flooded district. By strenuous effort the Colorado Hotel was saved, as was also the residence of Mrs. Smith Mrs. Schultz's house was high enough to stand almost foot more of water, and she consequently occupied
  Lorette worked faithfully and success fully to save his store The hardest struggle of the day vas made by Super visor Thurlow to save tLe U. s. Exchange property. He commenced throwing up entertainments at daylight Tuesday morn ing, and kept large force of men work ing all day with picks and shovels. Two or three times it looked as though the water would get the best of him, but each time his efforts were doubled, and he finally came of victor. It was long and severe struggle, and in gaining the day he is entitled to unlimited praise. MT. o. F. Townsend also saved his house
 The SENTINEL fared no better than the rest. The water was two feet deep ir the office, and quantity of paper and blanks was destroyed. Enough material was removed in a boat to get out the present edition, and by next week everything will be agaln in smooth running order.
 Particular praise is due Mir. H. H. Douglas for the valuable service he ren- dered with his boat. All day long he labored transporting goods and carrying supplies to those who could not get across to the upper portion of Main street.
 At about six o'clock Tuesday evening, as above stated, the water be gan to go DwE. By nine o'clock it lad fallen three inches, and by the next morning it was fully foot lower. From that time it has been steadily running out, IS fast, in- deed, as the river would lower to provide an ou let.
