TIE TERROR OF THE CAROLINA
FLOODS.

The foods in Western North Carolina
last year did not attract such wide in
tcresst rs the South Carolina floods this
year, but they were quite as destructive
to large sections of country. 1t SO hap
pened that the floods in Western North
Carolina did not reach the manufac
turing districts OF the State and that
the loss did not mount up into ascer-
tanned millions. But the loss was very
heavy temporarily and heavier perman-
emily, carrying away bodily acres and
acres OF rich land In South Carolina the
loss is greater and it bears with peculiar
hardship upon the cotton mill operatives,
living close together. They have lost
their all North Carolina should at once
respond to their needs and prevent suf
fering.
The lesson of these floods is one that
men of wisdom have foreseen and at
tempted to prevent If the mountains,
and plateaus are denuded of their trees.
these floods viii grow more and frequent.
They are costly lessons as to the need
OF the Appalachian Forest Reservation.
The fight for the preservation of the
forests should be renewed with increased
earnestness when Congress meets in De
cember. The Kansas floods caused q
loss of eight million dollars. There are
no forests there to be preserved. If ac-
ton is not taken within the next few
years there will be no forests in North
and South Carolina. Georgia, Tennessee
and Virginia and Alabama to preserve.
IAN ounce Of prevention is worth pound

the recent wreck on the Atlantic Coast

are at least three or four days hard work
for the wrecking crew to remove the

The engine is buried up to the top of the
driving wheels in the mud at the bottom
of the 20-foot wash-out. Up to last night
the engine had not been moved from
where it struck when it went into the

COLORADO FILES ANSWER
Has Irrigation Rights In Arkansas

A DITCH COMPANY ANSWERS.

Washington, Oct 14.-Tne answer
of the state of Colorado to the amended
bill of the state of Kansas in the suit
of the latter state to cnjoin Colorado
from the further appropriation of the
waters of the Arkansas river for irri-
CATION purposes vas fled in the United
States supreme court The document
was presented by Colorado's attorney
general, n. G. Miller, who is to be as
sisted i'll the case by formidable array
of counsel, including former United
States Senator Wolcot: and former
Justice Hayt. The answer sets mp the
contention that the United States
supreme court is without jurisdiction.
1t is also denied that the Arkansas is a
navigable stream, or that the use OF
water for irrigation in Colorado has
the effect OF diminishing the volume
of the stream in Kansas. The use of
the water for irrigation is defended as
in accord with the custom prevailing
in the arid region of the country, and
the fact that is set forth that many of
the ditch corporations HOW operating
in Colorado were incorporated by Kan
sas when that state comprised the
territory now embraced in Colorado.

WATERS ARE SUBSIDING.
The Estimates of Damages Are Still
Growing Larger.


New York, Oct 14.-With the re-

quarters, Paterson, Passaic and the
other water-swept New Jersey towns
are relieved of further peril and are
beginning now to get clear idea of
the extent of the devastation.
In Paterson alone the damage to
property is estimated at $4,000, 600
without taking account of the loss in
wages to the thousands who have been
temporarily deprived of occupation by
the shutting down of factories.
The distress continues great and
fully 500 persons are still compelled to
seek food and shelter in the armory.
No additional fatalities were reported
throughout the day.
In Passaic the damage is estimated
to be ut least equal to that in Pater-
son.
Many adjacent villages still were
under water, but with the falling of
the waters all danger of collapse of
the great Dundee dam WAS declared to
be past
