HUNDREDS PER|SHED
IN THE FLOODS
Three Towns Washed off fhe
Face of the Earth.
MANY H0MEI.ES AND HUNGRY

Bluefields, w. Va. june 81
The sun rose this morning on n
scene of desolation and in every
direction are signs of wreck and
ruin. The downpour of Friday and
Saturday has caused a tremendous
property loss. and the loss of life,
while not so great as at first re-
ported, will number 100.
The disaster began with heavy
rainfall Friday afternoon, which
washed away bridges and caused
more or less damage But as
night came on the storm grew in
intensity, and Saturday morning,
shortly after midnight. the ele-
ments seemed to have been let
loose. The lightning flashed,
thunder rolled and the rain fell in
tremendous torrents. The Elk
horn creek, fed by various basins,
swelled in an hour to roaring
torrent, The town of Keystone. IA
pleasant little village. was swept
out of existence, many people be-
ing drowned and much property
destroyed. Twenty eight miles of
railroad track was swept away
The flood Saturday morning came
suddenly down on Chekre. :, a ne
gro settlement. la an hour the
village was under six feet of water.
Nearly everybody in the town was
drowned The little town of Van
dyke was also swept away.
The fury of the tempest was un-
paralleled. The first reports said
that 500 had been drowned but
this was exaggerated. Forty five
bodies have been recovered. Hun
dreds of people are homeless, and
many are on the brink of starva-
ton. The flooded district covers
an area of thirty miles. and the
loss of property is known to be
over S2,O00,0O0.

Shipped by Water.

There is group OF mines in Nevada
whose ore product is shipped to the
Sclby Smelling Works entirely by
water The mines are located in Vel
low Pine district at the extreme south
ern part Of Lincoln county and the ore
is carried by way Of the Colorado riv-
CT to the Gull of California, thence
south to the Pacific Ocean, then north
again to San Francisco and San Pab-
10 Bays, where the ore is deposited in
Selhy's. Despite the great distance
traversed in making this trip, the mine
ow.:@rs find that they can thus trans
port their ore much more cheaply than
by rail, even though there are smelt-
e1s as close as Salt Lake.

K. Of P. Endowment.

Considerable is being said in the pa
pers these days about the Endowment.
or insurance rank, of the Knights of
Pythias, and frequently it is asserted
that death claims to the amount OF
half million dollars are due to be
paid with less than $500 to meet them
with, and it is hoped that the thing
will not go into bankruptcy, etc. 1t
has been said in Carson that the whole
concern had gone to smash.
Naturally the public not directly con-
cerned cannot know any more about it
than is published in the papers, and
most OF the them give the wrong i'm
preston, concerning bad investments,
etc"
The truth of the matter is that the
rank is absolutely sound and secure.
1t has ample surplus in securities, but
not in ready cash. The policy has al
ways been to invest all surplus cash in
first class securities, bonds, etc. The
bad management in the present case
lies, not in pilfering or bad investment
but in the fact that the surplus was in
vested in securities not readily con
vertable into cash without the usual
small loss resulting from forced sale
OF securities before they are due fol-
payment To avoid the sacrifice of a
forced sale is the object Of the present
convention. Also not enough cash was
held on hand 1t was invested too fas
and so when the Galveston disaste,
came on and an unusually large death
rate in other quarters came on, the
cash was not on hand to pay them, not
witlstanding that the fund has some
, millions OF dollars in gilt edged secur
ties.
The result Of the present meeting
will be simply that the Board OF Con
troll will be instructed to keep more
money on hand to meet just such an
other emergency, when it comes, an
things will go on as before.

THE PULLMAN CAR CO.
It Has Decided to Pay Taxes
In Nevada. =

At the April meeting OF the State
Board of Assessods the proposition of
securing taxes from the Pullman Car
Co., was discussed. ---
The assessors were instructed by the
State Revenue Board that it was pos
sible to collect these taxes under the
u. S. Supreme Court decisions to the
effect that each county was entitled to
pro rata OF the milage over which the
cars run. Deputy Assessor Beard, OF
Washoe, sent demand for state
n1ent to the office Of the Company in
Chicago and received it few days ago.
1t scheduled 50 standard sleeping
cars in Nevada, valued at $1,000 each,
or $2o5,ooo These cars operated in
ten States with total milage of 5616
miles, or S47.Io for the lot. -.;.,,.
There are also al tourists cars oper-
ating in the State portion Of the time
valued at about $3.50 each, running over
total of 1865 miles of road. This
averages $4,S5 per mile for each mile
in Nevada. The total average for the
first class sleepers and the tourists
cars is S52.o4.
On mileage basis the amount sub
ject to taxation in the various counties
of the State would be as follows, in
round numbers:
Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1901-07-14

This makes a total valuation through
Out the State OF over $4,000 on which
the Pullman Co. is ready to pay taxes.
The statement secured by Deputy
TO By A. S. Wansheimer, Secretary to
die Pullman Co., in Chicago.
Although the valuation placed upon
the first class cars, $1,000 is consider
ably less than the cost OF building and
real value Of the cars, it is not likely
that the assessors will make any at
tempt to raise it as they have never be-
lore succeeded in getting anything out
