G. II. Dietrich. United States Senator

visit to Alaska. His object in visiting
the territory was to familiarize himself

attach much Importance to the glowing
reports Of Alaska's great agricultural
possibilities that have come here for
years past. He says that the expanding
of many thousands Of dollars at the gov

the agricultural possibilities of the terri

FLOOD LOSS is GREAT.
TWO JERSEY TOWNS SUFFER
DAMAGE or 50, 900, 900.
Paterson and Passaic in a Terrible
Plight-other Places Fare as Badly
Thousands Are Homeless-sI Mills Are
Closed and People Idle.

The people of Peterson, \. J., now
realize the extent OF the great food
which began Friday. Nearly two entire
wards, taking in the manufacturing sec
ton. have been under water. Monday
morning thousands of men, women and
children employed in different mills and
factories found they could not go to
work on account of those plants being
shut down. Hundreds of these people
have also been driven from their homes
and have neither food nor shelter
The heaviest damage in Paterson was
to the manufacturers. At present it is
impossible TO give an accurate idea of
the total loss. but conservative estimates
are about $2,000.O00.
The health authorities have a difficult
task before them in devising means TO
prevent az l,idemic of sickness in the
flooded territory The people who were
forced to leave their homes will not be
allowed to return until the districts are
in a sanitary condition.
Passnic Conditions Better.
The food conditions in Passaic and
vicinity were considerably improved
Monday. The high water mark ut the
midnight had fallen two feet in the
morning. Wellington was under water
and several hundred persons took refuge
in the public schools. -Four or five hum
dred r's'deuts of Wellington are being
sheltereu the town hall and school
buildings Tassaic
The loss .u.n the flood in Passaic is
estimated at about S2,o000O0. without
any insurance. This does not include
the loss to workmen who are thrown out
of employment temporarily or the loss
sustained by manufacturers by the inter
ruption of business. Nearly every mill
is closed.
u At Duttonville. fifty or more houses
were washed from their foundations and
many overturned and wrecked.
Trolley connections between Passaic
and Paterson have been restored.
Owing TO the interruption of railroad
traffic hy the floods, New York City has
been suffering from its most serious milk
famine since the big blizzard of 1888.
Conservative estimates are that only one
tenth the normal supply is being distrib-
uted and several days must elapse before
conditions are again normal.
Reports from all sections on the coast
show heavy seas, with some damage to
water front property and small shipping.
= 1t is estimated that the havoc wrought
by the flood near Trenton. n. j., VIII
