Union Pacific Tracks Washed Out
and Much Do mage Done.
Denver, Col, May PA telephone
message from Cheyenne, Wyo., at 11:30
o'clock Friday night said that the F.
Crow river, which runs through
Cheyenne, is running bank full as a
result of heavy rains. From eight to
twelve miles of the main line of the
Union Pacific railroad and several
miles of the roadbed of the Colorado
& Southern road have been washed out.
Several lives are reported to have been
lost among the ranchers along the
Grow. The river in Cheyenne has
spread out over the lower sections,
flooding the dwellings and business
houses. Telegraph wires between
Denver and Cheyenne are disabled.
Six persons are known to have been
drowned, namely: Two Clayton chill
dren, private Hughes, of the Thirteenth
artillery, and two men, a woman n
a child, whose names nave not been
learned. Besides these, many persons
are missing. The Union Pacific tracks
at Buford, rs miles west of Cheyenne,
are washed away in many places. Two
of the companies bridges have gone
out, and it's tracks have been weak
ened on the line between Cheyenne
and Greedy, Col. In the city of Chey-
enne the lengthy embankment on
which runs the Union Pacific tracks,
has been pierced in two places. This
embankment is holding the flood, and
water has accumulated to a depth OF 20
feet, and extending over a space two
miles wide and several miles in length.
The opening in the embankment is
not large enough to carry off the wa
ter, and the pressure against the en-
bankment is liable to cause other
breaks.

Shortly after that / met the baker, and

this and asked if the horse seemed to have
any difficulty in hearing. To my surprise,
the baker said the morse could hear as

CONSUMPTION OF COTTON
Comprehensive Report to Be Issued
by Department of Agriculture.
It Will show d Phenomenal Increase
of Consumption I'm Our Own
wing states.

Washington, May 21.-The depart
ment of agriculture will issue shortly
a comprehensive report on the con-
sumption of cotton in the cotton states,
compiled by J. L. Watkins, the cotton
expert of the bureau of statistics. Re-
viewing the industry in the past 20
years. it says that Notwithstanding the
great increase in the worlds consump-
ton of cotton, the overshadowing fea-
ture of the period Is the phenomenal
increase in consumption in the cot
ton states. This consumption, in the
south, increased 1907 900 bales, or 500
per cent, the consumption in the north
increased in 20 years 1852 900 bales, or
So per cent, and in the whole coun-
try 1869, 900 balQs, or nearly 14S per
cent. The report says every additional
10000 bales consumed in this country
means shorter time for some foreign
mill, perhaps its shutting down, If no
further expansion of the cotton crop
takes place. During the past 20 years
the United States has increased it's cot
ton crop nearly $4,000 bales, or
about SO per cent; midas crop has in
creased 1,500, 900 bales of 400 pounds
each, or Z 3per cent; Egypt's crop has
Increased $40, 900 bales of 500 pounds
each, or 73 per cent; Egypt's crop has
used to draw so largely upon this coun-
try for her raw cotton, is now sup
plying her own mills with 200, 900 to
300,0 600 bales grown in her trans-Cas-
plan provinces. The worlds consump-
ton of cotton has increased nearly
1000, 900 bales, or about "a per cent,
eand the United States, the largest pTa-
Queer, also has become the largest con-
sumner of cotton. The price of its sta
pie is now regulated in the home mar
ket instead of Liverpool.

STREAMS SWOLLEN
BY A G%L0UDBURST
Heavy Storm Strikes Colorado Doing
Much Damage.
SEVERAL LIVES REPORTED LOST
Colorado d Southern Railroad
Bridge at Tfmnath Wrecked
Wire Communication With Sec
ton Entirely Cut OF.

Denver, Col, May 21.-A cloudburst
at the head of the Cache la Poudre
river caused that stream to overflow
its banks, and meager reports received
here indicate that great damage has
been caused by the flood. The rush Of
the flood caused the dam which holds
the water of Livingston lake, 65 miles
above Fort Collins, to break, and this
added volume of water swept down
the Cache la Poudre, practically WHIP
ing out the towns Of Livermore and
La Porte, respectively Ia and 8 miles
above Fort Collins. 1t is reported that
one person was drowned at the former
place.
River a Mile Wide.
At Fort Collins the river, which
normally is about the width of the
average mountain river, is now over
a mile wide, and the Russian settle
ment, consisting of about 800 families,
is inundated. Already a number of the
frame dwellings of these people have
been swept from their foundations and
sent swirling along with the flood. In
several instances the occupants were
unable to make their escape, and were
carried along. 1t has not yet been
learned whether there was any loss
of life at Fort Collins, but it seems
safe to predict that there has been.
Wreckage of houses, household goods
and carcasses of dead animals, etc,
being carried by Fort Collins by the
flood.
Bridge Washed Out.
From Greeley, about 25 miles east
Of Fort Collins, comes the information
that a number of wagon bridges be-
tween there and Fort Collins have
been washed away. and the Colorado
& Southern railroad bridge at Timnath,
about midway between the two towns,
wrecked. No trains will be sent out
on that line Friday night. The Colo
RADIO & Southern from Collins to Gree
ley is a branch line. Although the
crest of the flood has not yet reached
Greeley, and is not expected until mid
night, ranchment and other jewellers
along the bottoms are moving to the
high ground. The Cache la Poudre
river runs through n Of the most
thickly settled and richest agricultural
districts of Colorado. A large portion
of the northern part of the state is ir-
rigated from this stream, and a num-
Der of immense reservoirs have been
constructed for the purpose of storing
the water. Should the force of the
waters rush weaken these sufficient to
cause a break and release the stored
water, the result could he nothing but
disastrous.
Wire communication with the flood
section is fitful, and all the towns
along the upper Cache la Poudre have
been entirely cut off.
