necessary additional gas producers and 1t is thought that by the time the raii mill has begun this work will be com menced.
 The furnaces will be of somewhat diff ferent type from those now in operation and it is likely that the new ones will be stationary instead of tilting. The work ings of the mill have thus far demon- strated the fact that success is inevitable The new mill when running to it's capac- ity will take not less than six hundred tons of basic steel from the market and in order to meet the demand for it's pro duets, which is well known to be steadily increasing, the present plant will likely be doubled within another year.

 The Watauga poured It's volumes into the Holstcn. spanned by many bridges. which were swept away with little or no warning. The Chuckey river in Greene County and the French Broad in Jeffer- son are also out of bounds, and growing crops have been swept away all along their courses.
 Reports are reaching this point slowly. on account of wires being down, of great damage done by the most terrible floods ever witnessed in the upper portion of East Tennessee. Four other lines have been reported lost today. On the Chucley river three childrn of Joseph Hill were drowned in his house, while he was at his barn looking after his stock, and una ware of the danger at his house.
