the old part is standing intact, while

invariable practice of engineers for

GROWING STEADILY.
Brule County, Dakota, Making
Immense Strides.

Brule County, Dakota, Making
Immense Strides.
Special to the Globe.
CHAMBERLAIN, S. D., June 7.-BIule
county in 1880 had by the census re-
ports of that year population of 29S.
At present the population of the county
is in the neighborhood of 10000. In
1880 the total valuation of the county
was s62,0SS. Last year the assessors
returns showed a total valuation of
S1,391, ,S29, the assessment being made
on the basis of one-third the actual val
uation, through the mistaken idea of
assessors that to put in the property at
its actual valuation would increase the
taxes. In 1880 there was no wheat re-
ported. and but 1870 bushels of corn.
Last year there were 471,200 bushels of
wheat raised, 959,900 bushels of
corn and $4,000 bushels of oats.
Every branch of industry has
increased in like proportion. The in
crease of population, the increase of
land under cultivation, and the eXcep-
tiOnally good outlook for an immense
crop this year are certain to result in
largely increased yield this season over
that of last. The farmers are constantly
adding important improvements to their
farms and houses, and the country
which but few years ago was perfectly
wild, now has the appearance of having
been settled for at least twenty-five
years. Development has been rapid and
permanent. One important factor in
the speedy development of the county
has been railroad facilities from the
very outset. In Dakota railroads are
the forerunners of civilization. In other
new countries the opposite has usually
been the rule. Brule county may
well be proud of her progress
during the past eight years,
and when we consider the resources of
the county, and the fact that as yet
large amount of land within her borders
remains covered with wild prairie grass
we have reasonable grounds for saying
that bef ore eight years more pass away
our people will be numbered by tens of
thousands, and the value of their prop
erty will be many millions of dollars.
Her soil is Of quality uneXcelled in
any portion of the Union, being we'll
watered and particularly adapted to the
raising of all kinds of grain, while the
rich fields of nutritious wild grass rem
der stock raising decidedly profitable.
The development of Brule county has
been indeed gratifying.

IN CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA.
Seventy Miles Of Barren Waste--s
Thirty Feet of Water.

BELLEFoNTE, Pa, June TN all the
history of Central Pennsylvania there
has never been known such high water
or never has been attended with such
disastrous results as that of the last day
of May and the 1st of June. In 1S65 we
had floods, but this time the waters at
this place were two feet higher than on
either previous occasion. Bellefonte is
built principally upon the hills, but
notwithstanding this fact the water
overflOwed the lower streets and filled
the lower parts of houses. The damage
at Bellefonte was very slight, but in the
Bald Eagle valley $500, 600 will not cover
the damage done. In the upper end Of
the Valley, at Tyrone, down through
its entire length down to Lock Haven,
ley-almost mile in width and from
three to fifteen feet in depth. Where a
week ago was rich, fertile valley,
blooming with the promise of bountiful
crops. there is now nothing but bar.
ren waste dotted every hereand there
with huge piles of stones and debris,
the remains of houses and barns and all
kinds of buildings torn to SplinterS and
piled up by the relentless flood. In all
that stretch of valley for distance of
seventy miles there is not one farm un-
injured. The Bald Eagle Valley rail-
road was washed out for more than half
its length, but has since been tempora-
rily repaired and there are now trains
running into BellefOnte over the road.
In Milesburg the water filled the houses
to depth of from three to six feet and
great damage was done. No lives were
lost, however. The iron bridge at that
place was washed away, and the Mill
Hall bridge, at the lowest end of the
valley, was also taken. At Coburn the
waters reached their worst. 1t spread
over the entire town, and in some places
the waters, by actual measurement, were
th irty feet deep. There were drowned
Mrs. Simon PhOust and two children.
Simon Phoust was in Cameron county
at the time. and, being notified of the
fate of his family. he started home. In
crossing river he too fell in and was
drowned, and thus the entire family was
wiped from existence. There is not one
good house left standing in Coburn, and
the total loss will aggregate fully $780,
600. The valley is strewn with bodies
of all Kind of animals.
