tion was three and one-half feet in sixty
hours, resulting in flood Of enormous
proportions, covering an area Of many
square miles to depth Of from five to
twenty feet and loss OF from twenty
five to forty million dollars. No less
than twenty populous towns have been
inundated, as we'll as thousands OF we'll
ordered farms which are today in a
complete state OF desolaticn. Within
the influence Of this awful disaster there
are over 10000 people, almost half of
whom are in state Of helplessness today
except as they may be provided for by
those who are generous and able to assist
them The state has appealed 10 the
nation for financial aid.
