FROM THE FLOODED DISTRICTS.
Application of Government Mea-
sures Of Relief.

WASHINGTON. d. c., April 13.-The
only news from the flooded districts re-
ceived at the War Department this morn
ing came from the upper Missouri sec
ton. The report from the Army Inspec-
tor at Grand Forks. y. d.. shows that
the situation there. as far as the labor
ing element is concerned, Is quite as
bad as II was reported TO be yesterday
at Moorhead, MINI. The telegram Is as
follows:
1.-TWO hundred families have been driven
from their homes i'm consequence Of the
food. All the busnesshouses, with
one exception, are badly flooded.
The water is from six to ten feet
deep on the principal streets. Fifty fami-
lies comprising two hundred and thirty
souls are entirely destitute and in need
of immediate aid. They have iost every
thing and are without means. These peo-
pie owned and lived In small dwellings,
heing principally laborers. Three thou
sand dollars would be sufficient 10 fur
nish them proper shelter after the water
falls. Seven thousand rations will be
sufficient to carry them through the next
thirty days and can be purchased here
al not to exceed twenty cents per ration.
"The people cannot furnish this assist
ance as there is not much wealth here.
Hugh Thompson. County Commissioner
and chairman of the Relief Committee,
is a proper person TO attend 10 the dis
tribution of supplies, as well as shelter
ing the destitute. should the department
so desire"
The Inspector further suggests that
81 400 be placed at the disposal Of the
Relief Committee.
REQUEST FOR TENTS.
The first application for tents for the
she ter of the people driven from their
homes by the flood waters came 10 the
War Department from Memphis to-day.
A few days ago the Memphis committee
thought they could get along without
the tents, but the recent spell OF cool
weather made IL plain that they Will be
necessary TO prevent suffering. The
Army Inspector at Memphis telegraphed
the department to-day that the Mayor
OF that city had just applied 10 him
for the loan OF go "a" tents. which
were badly needed The Mayor offered
TO give satisfactory account OF the bor-
rowed property. Secretary Ager imme-
