this moment Untold suffering must
follow in the weeks and months ahead
among the people living in the low
lands along the north of the river for

brace the damage done in this locality.
Land flooded in the past few days is
appearing once more bearing the re-
mains of the growing crops and nur-
sery stocks of the north bottoms.

The island which the buildings Of the }.
H. Skinner nursery formed has.
through the highest water, been
througed with refugees. Ninety-seven
people were given supper at the J. II.
Skinner home Saturday night. A tenn
porary relief station has been estab
lished in two-stOry building opposite
the Skinner place. and scores of people
from every direction get food and APP
parel there. The houses in Shorey and
north to the Reform school road, when
were in water on Saturday. are being
reoccupied. but their tenants have no
food except by charity. All these houses
were ransacked for what their larders
contained days ago. Now the food
consumed comes from the Reform
school.

is returning to see if access can be
