The bill to divide Los Angeles county and

considerable attention. and its friends put
forth the following arguments: The terri
tory forming the proposed new county is %

taias over 900 inhabitants. Three rail-
roads run into and across the proposed new
county, which contains IL towns and
villages. one of which has population of
5 900. II has an area OF over 900 square
miles. and was assessed during 1888 for
more than eleven and half millions of
dollars. There are q other counties of the

western eide, skirting the Conemaugh and
lying between that and the railroad, had

standing these outlets the water kept rising
at the rate of about ten inches On hour.
SENDING OUT WARNING
"By 11:3o, I had made up my
mind that it was impossible to save
the dam and getting on my horese
I galloped down the road to south
Fork to warn the people of their danger
The telegraph tower is mile from the town.
and sent two men there to have messages
sent to JohnstoWn and other points below.
she had sent of the news and had to
be carried of. The people at South
Fork had ample time to get to
high grounds ana they were able
TO move their,furniture toe In fact only one
person was drowned at South Fork and he
while attem pting to fish something from the
flood as 1t rolled by. 1T was just twelve
o'clock when the telegraph messages
were sent out, that the people at Johns
town had over three hours warning.
GAS I rode back to the dam 1 expected
almost every moment to meet the lake COM
ing down on me. bat the dam vas still in
tact, although the water had reached the top.
At about l o'clock walked over the dam;
at that time the water was three inches
deep on 1t and was gradually eating away
the earth on the outer face. As the stream
rolled down the outer face it
kept wearing down the edge of the
embankment and 1 saw it was merely
acquisition OF time. I then went up
to the clubhouse and got dinner, and when
L returned saw that good deal more of the
outer edge of the dam had crumbled away
The dam did not give way. At rough
guess 1 should say that there were sixty
million tons of water in that lake and the
pressure of that mass of water was increased
by foods from two streams pouring into it,
but the dam would have stood it could the
level of the lake have been kept below the
top of the dam. But the friction of the
water pouring over the dam gradually wore
it away from the outer face until the top be-
came so thin that it gave way.
THE BREAK COMES.
"The break took place ut o'clock. II
was about ten feet wide at first and shallow,
but now that the flood had made a gap, it
grew wider with increasing rapidity, and
the lake went roaring down the valley
That three miles of water was drained out in
forty-fEe minutes The downfall of thosa
millions of tons was simply ire
sistlbl- Stones from the dam and
bowlders sin the river bed were carried
for mile. Trees went down like you might
cut mullen stalk with a swish of your
cane. 1t was terrible sight to see that
avalanche of water go down that valley
already cnoked with floods.
