PITTSBURG'S FLOOD PAST.
Cleaning Up Now In Progress and
the Damage Very Heavy.

Pittsburg April 22.-The flood is over.
Notwithstanding the fact that in the early
day there was every evidence of renewal
of the high water, the announcement can
be made authoritatively tonight that
there is not the least danger of another
rise at this point nor above for the pres
ent, but towns on the Ohio river below
here are not yet out of danger. because
of rains in the valley last night and to-
day. All upper river points report the
rain and snow has ceased and the rivers
are falling.
The Ohio registered 1873 at the dam here
at O'Clock. and is falling Forecaster
Frank Ridgway says 1t would require a
steady downpour of rain for twenty-four
hours TO check the fall, and form present
Indications such "a thing is not likely. The
rivers about this city are down so that
the works along the banks are running.
There is a great deal of cleaning up to
be done. The flood brought in much s.iCny
mud that 1t left when it receded, and 1t
will require a day or two to remove IL
from many of the mills. In a number of
places this mud has ciogged UP the ma
chinery, some of which will have to be
taken apart and be cleaned.
The creeks and runs which did so much
damage in the outlying districts on Sat-
urday are back well within their banks to-
right, and mud and slime are the only re-
minders left of the storm.
Carnegie borough is busy cleaning Up
and repairing the bridges, houses and
roads that were destroyed when Char
tiers creek ran wild. The same state OF
affairs exist at McKee's Rocks, and other
towns that the water reached.
The railroads have recovered remarka.
bly, we'll from the effects of the flood
and snow storm. and now the various
lines have resumed operations to all
points; but several days no pretention at
running on schedule time will be made.
Total Loss May Reach S2,OOO,0O0.
look over the ground after the flood
shows that the losses will be fully as
great as was estimated yesterday In and
about Pittsburg it will probably take ST.
100000 to pay the total cost of the injury
to property by the water and by land
slips Add TO this tie great loss to the
railroads and manufacturing plants up
and down the rivers in this immediate
vicinity. with the loss in wages to the
workingmen and the total will not fall
far short OF the S2OOO.OO0 mark.
The work Of cleaning up is going on
everywhere IN the flooded district. Most
OF the water front mills and factories are
sim idle, and will be until the mud Is
gotten out Of the machinery aud water
pumped out Of the pits.

drawn over the boundary marking the
territory defined by Field Marshal Won
Wsldersee as the sphere of operations for
the allies, as the Governor of Shan 81

tons nearly a week ago, ordering their
withdrawal. The Governor could have con-
veyed this order to the troops in ques-

The Republican Journal has entered upon
its 73d volume. The first number was issued
February 6. 1929. 1t then had four pages,
about p by 10 inches, set in long primer
type. OF its many competitors in the local
field three or four were started expressly to
''kill The Journal" But The Journal still
lives. While the earlier issues may suffer
in comparison with the S-page paper of to-
day, in contents as well as in size-local
news was then an unknown quantity-The
Journal then ranked well among it's con-
temporaries and had as editors men
of high standing and conspicuous ability.
The first publishers were Robert White
and Cyrus Rowe. The latter was the editor,
and he had the aid of prominent Democrats
John w. Frost, then d law student with the
Hon. Alfred johnson, edited The Journal
in 1S34-5. He later became the editor of the
New Orleans Crescent and fell in duel
originating in political difficulties in July,
1851. The partnership of White Il Rowe
continued until 1871, when Mr.. White re-
tired to engage in business. Mr.. Rowe then
