tution and suffering.
SANTA FE, N. NJ, June 23.-For more
than month the high waters have
swept through the Rio Grande valley
and every hour the course of the river
has been changed. The long overflow
has thrown almost all the earth into
quicksand. The wagon roads are en-.
tirely abandoned, and only by most per.
sistent efforts has the Atchison, Topeka
aud sante Fe Railroad Company been
able to support the track on the main
line. Between Alamillo and the
Socorro river, which appears to be on
both sides Of the track, the roads out
Of sight in several places. The railroad
company continues to push their trims
through, using teams and boats in
making transfers At Socorro the river
course has changed more than one hun
dred yards and completely undermines
the track. Within half day there were
fifteen feet of water where the roadbed
ought to be. From Rincon to Dona Ana
there Is nothing to suggest railroad.
The towns OF Tome. Los Pinos, Valenira
and Peralto, in Valenira county, are
swept away and five hundred families are
destitute on the mesa, San Mareial is
flooded, boats are being used to pass
from house to house. The iron railroad
bridge at that point was saved by throw
ing into the river several loads of cut
stone worth $3.50 per cord. Socorro has
four or five feet Of water on Manazares
avenue The town OF Albuquerque is
flooded. More than two-thirds OF the
crop in the valley is lost. Wheat that
was nearly ripe has fallen, and in places
carefully cultivated fields are only a
sheet OF water. This state OF affairs is
expected TO remain unchanged thirty
days longer, as the snow in the noun
tains Of Southern Colorado is ten to
fourteen feet deep and heavy rains are
falling in Northern New Mexico almost
daily.
