ST LUKE NEWS.

The tremendous rain which commenced
here at o'clock Oh Monday evening, and
continued until about Il minutes Of 10
o'clock, caused the biggest and most dis
astrous freshet that the Oldest of our
people can recollect. The creek became
raging torrent, sweeping everything
before it and causing sad loss in the dis
truction of crops, fencing ond other prop
erty. Among the heavy lOosers are Chas'
Ryman, all his bottom land corn gone'
Rev. VIM. Wisman who looses about half
of lis bottom corn, as we'll as Mr.. Sam'l
Doll and Milton Wisman, whose bottom
lands corn crops are all gone. Messrs
Jos. S. Gochenour, Thos. Stickley and
VIM. Gocheuour have lost heavily in
fencing. Mr. VIM. Fry had colt drown
ed and horse badly damaged. Mr.
haun and Mr.. Chas. Peters were also
among the sufferers by the mighty rush
of water. and many others. AS near as
we can estimate about IA inches of water
fell in the two hours and three quarters
that the rain continued.
All of Mr.. Jos. S. Gochenour's water
melons were washed away. l know tha
will cause our young friend Edgar Ma
phs much sorrow, as he says they we're
the best he ever ate and no expected to
eat still more of them.
Later reports show that'th losses wer'
lheavier than first reported. Mr.. Wm
&ochenour's land is badly damaged by
dbarge IN the course of the creek caused
BIZ the f)ol. Strong post and board
fetce that was supposed to be safe was
tc II out, and large rock washed for SON
distance. The roads are also greatly in
ilrbd and will require extensive repairs
WlSearn that Pugh's Run was also very
bipI, and the losses along that stream ar

dollars.

At this writing we are very dry through
this section and many of our farmers are
waiting for rain to commence seeding,
but some are seeding despite the dry

are about dry.

stealing watermelons to make mp for the
scarcity Of water. Some of them Will b .
caught, those who are destroying the
patches by cutting MP The unripe fruit

the melons they conld use, thus showing
bow utterly degraded and how far lost to
ali sense Of shame they are. And then,
too, to trg TO get 10 decent class OF 50
clety and attempt to associate with ladies.
Boys, you are on road that will soon
brilg you to bad end. Better reform,
stay out of Mr. Burners and others
patches, then you may be more fit to keep
company with young ladies. II Is far
better to be gentleman than low melon
rogue.
The people of Page and Warren are
working on road that leads from the
Cross Roads to the South River, and ttoj

great help to this community, as well al
to the other side.
Last week one day, three loving couples

The work on the extensive improve
ments to the Reformed church, of this
place, Is well advanced towards COM
petiOn. A spacious recess has been built
il rear of the pulpit, addinA to the size
and improving the appeara pee Of that
part of the building. A largAaddltion to
the forth side Of tie church contains a
cOmmodius room for the Sunday school
and prayer meeting, and as 1t IS so ar
ranged that the glass partition dividing it
fem the main building can be thrown
open, giving a clear view OF the pulpit
from all parts of it, it will be a great con
venieuce at times when the congregation
exceeds the seating capacity of the church
proper. a great improvement is the re
moval of the old wooden cupola and The
substitution of a very handsome bricl
tower at the north front corner, with {
slate roof surmO2nted by a large eros

about 81 feet high. The entrance 1

While Ike Scott was watching a SO lilrel

frou this place, one day last week, he
was considerably surprised and Just a
little uneasy to see a large black bear
looking at him with much lnteTes'. Hay-
iny n,tbing but a shot gun charged with
small shot he thought it best not to bring
on a light. He accordingly remained
perfectly quiet until the bear, after salts
fyipe us curiosity, walked off in the op-
posite erection. Mr. Scott who is fine
shot, saSs he could have settled things IN
short orcer with good magazine Win
chester file. These animals have been
UNUSUALLY plentiful in the PowelPs Fort
sin,-1ss-seyeral years. Several
weeks since we published the capture and
killing of large one in trap by Mr.
Newton Cook, in the upper Fort. Since
then he has caught larger one in his
trap, it weighing $50 pounds. 1t was
carefully skipned for Dr.. Hutchinson, Of

SOMETHING IMPOSSIBLE ELSEWHERE.

About twenty months ago an attache
OF the HERALD Office received letter
from an old acquaintance inquiring
about the rates OF living in Los Angeles,
and asking if it were really true that the
summer is the plessantest time of the
year. The writer was a business man
of Portland, Oregon, and his wife was in
poor health. The response received by
him from the journalist was 30 satisfac-
tory that he left his business in charge
OF his confidential clerk. to whom he
sold 1t out short time afterward.
He had only been here day or two
when he met his journalistic friend and
remarked, in the course of brief con-
versation, How low property is held
hers-do you think it can get any low
err" The journalist replied that he
thought everything had about touched
zero and the next movement in the
values OF realty must be an upward one.
The Poftlander evidently thought go
too, for he made investments to the
amount Of $40 900 on Seventh street and
$1,000 on Jefferson, near the city limits,
the last being made about fifteen
months ago. On Saturday last this
gentleman, with his wife thoroughly

THE proposition to widen Broadway
was the aubjsct of much oratory pro
and con in the council yesterday. and
while many of the substantial property
owners presented ambitious arguments
for the contamination OF the improve
ment there were many citizens who took
the conservative side and opposed it.
The vexed oil well question in the sec-
ond ward bobbed up again. and was
made the special order of the day for
Wednesday. when it is expected that
some results as to definite course OF
action will be agreed on by the city faith
ers. The matter of awarding a contract
for the improvement of Figueroa street,
from Adams street to the south city
boundary, came up in the shape of a
mild hammered battle among the con-
tractors, who disputed over the some
what ambiguous terms which govern
city contracts. After much fretting and
tuning, the contract was let to the bid
der designated as the lowest by the city
engineer, and the large lobby of property
owners departed apparently happy. The
improvement OF the southern end OF
Figueroa street will make it one OF the
most magnificent thoroughiares in the
City of the Angels.
