1t is believed that the foods
have reached their highest point.
All kinds of rumors and re-
ports are heard on the street to-
day of a greater rise in the wa
tiers coming tonight. But those
who are best able to Judge think
that the worst is over. James
Sutherland, the manager of the
Diamond "a" ranch saws that
ii there was a greater rise in the
river above here he would have
been informed of it, and up to
the hour of going to press he
has received no such report. The
probabilities are that the wa
ters will reach no higher point
than they have reached and will
fall during the night.

mile in width, and had reached a
much higher point than in 1901.
In the winnings Of the little
steam before it reaches Roswell
it travels probably a hundred
miles, and not until nightfall
yesterday did the stream at
Roswell begin to assume a
threatening aspect. Yesterday
afternoon The Record warned
the people that the food was

thought that the dixie the city
built along the Hondo after the
flood OF 1901 would save the
city from any damage by the
high waters. But with such

goods from the floor

from the water.
It was about $50 last evening
when the water broke over the

Below is given a list of some
of the property losses. This loss
will not be great. The people al
over town are in the best of hu'
NOR, and making the very best
out of a bad situation. The
Public School and the Military
Institute have been dismissed
for the day, and not only the
children but the adults as we'll
are taking a holiday until the
waters subside.
Main Street today has resem-
bled a street in Venice minus the
gondolas. The waters are not
Venetian blue however although
an Italian sky has smiled upon
them. but they are darkly shad-
ed with Hondo mud. All kinds
of sights were to be seen on
Main street this morning, and
more than that the whole town
to be out to see them.
many parts of the sidewalk
the water was more than knee
deep, while there were portions
of the streets where horses could
swim. The amateur photograph
as we'll as the professional was
on hand, and the pictures of the
day will be preserved. Every
kind of vehicle was brought in
to use. The drays put lawn
benches in their wagons and
people through the mud
waters. Young people made
up parties and hired a wagon
for the entire morning. A man
would get as ride a horse and
with his wife riding behind
would look the landscape or
or waterscape DER. A horse
would occasionally fall and his
would come to the surface
covered with water and mud.
People would attempt to cross
crossing where the crossing
was not and receive a ducking
for their mis-step. Society young
women waded through the most
dangerous places totally uncon-
sclous OF a too free display of
hosiery. In fact all false dignity
and prudish propriety have
been put aside for the day and in
the rushsOf waters men and wo-
men, boys and girls, have had
the enjoyment possible out
of the Hondo's latest escapade.
Even Tracy of Carlsbad would
have smiled to look upon the
scene. The last day of Septem-
Der will be long remembered in
many ways and by many people.
THE DAMAGE.
At the hour of going to press
it is impossible to estimate the
done by the flood.
The adobe building in the rear
of the Oriental Saloon fell this
morning at $50 o'clock. For
the occupants had fed
from the building.
The adobe building in the rear
of the Grand Central Saloon fell
during the night.
The adobe building on Main
street, next to the Seay, Gill &
Morrow store fell early in the
night.
Nearly every store in the city
was damaged and the extent OF
the damage is impossible to es.
innate at this writing.

ton failed to verify the report,
Almost every chicken in the
city has bitten the dust.
About seven O'Clock this morn
ing the house occupied by II. j.
Wall and owned by A. NJ, Rob
ertson began to fall. Mr.. Wall
will lose much of his furniture.
In many parts of the city small
adobe buildings are down, and
it is impossible at the hour of
going to press to get a list OF all
these.
In several of the business
houses the floors had to be cut
to prevent the under flow of the
water pushing it up. This was
done in the postoffice and also
in Walker Bros. store.
The Citizens Meat Market on
Main street is a complete wreck.
The little adobe that was Oc-
cupied by Shoemaker Welter and
was destroyed by the food was
owned by H. w. Scurlock. This
damage is about $500.
The family of Mrs. Cobean had
to move out of their residence
on North Main street.
One wall of Mitchell's livery
stable and one wall of j. NJ.
Jumps stable has caved in.
1t is feared that the flood has
played havoc wish the sewerage
system.
On the east side OF Main street
many of the business houses
prevented the water coming in
bv putting boards across the
doorway then filing back with
rags. sacks, and in fact most
any material at hand. Last
night was a time to tax the in
genuity OF 3 genius.
The rear end OF the Palace Sa-
loon has fallen in and the placed
is closed.
The rear end of the Citizens
Meat Market has collapsed and
the place has been closed and
ropes placed in front to protect
the pedestrians.
Judge Evans residence has
fallen and also a tree adjoining
the building.
The residence of f. NJ. Smith
is badly damaged.
The side of NJ. d. Minter's resi-
dence was torn out.
Dllley & Sons estimate their
loss at $3.50.
The Western Grocery company
at the corner of Fourth and
Main probably suffered the
heaviest loss of any of the mer-
camille establishments. Their
loss will probably go over a
thousand dollars. 1t was from
their ware house at the rear of
the store that the fire alarm was
sounded about midnight last
night the water coming up to
some lime that was stored in the
building. The fire company
made one of the quickest runs
that they have yet made despite
the darkness and water. The
engine was on the ground in
probably less than three minutes
after the alarm was turned in.
The fire was soon put out.

"A medical authority has uttered a
warning against the habit Of sitting

author gives curious turn to his ex-
PLANTATION of the Greek word "louo-
