GUNNISON OVERfLOWS
BANKS AT DELTA.
North Delta Suffers Some From
Backwater. School House Sur.
rounded by Water.

The Gunnison has swollen in the past
few days until it came within an inch of
being as high as last year, when the
greatest damage was done. From re-
ports gathered Sunday morning wit
messed the highest period and at that
time the banks along the south side
near the North Delta bridge could no
longer hold the stream and large body
was flowing down the road. Across
the stream and in North Delta a dyke
had broken and the consequence was an
overflow into many peoples yards and
especially in the vicinity of the school
house which was surrounded for two or
three days this week.
The commissioners took active steps
to protect the bridge and a few days
before had erected block and tackle
TO be used TO dislodge debris coming
down the river. The apparatus came
into good play four or five times and
huge trees were lifted and turned and
allowed to float on their way if caught
by abutments. A foot bridge was built
along the field occupied by Fad.ey's
corral and pedestrians were not incon-
venienced to any great extent. Mr..
Getts says that the bridge Is intact, no
damage having resulted % far aside
from . small section Of railing being
broken by . down-coming giant Of the
forest.
Although some beets are under water
and some other damage has been done.
the fact is that 1906 does not compare
with 1905 as 4 catastrophe. Farther
up the river. at Paonia, the damage
hiss been much greater this year than il
was las., several ranchcrs having al
ready lost land and trees that will
aggregate q sum nearly to SIS. 900. 90.
Ira Cline has been the worst sufferer.
Geo. Merchant is another and the coun-
ty itself another.
The School Board in District No. l
(Delta) ordered school to resume yes
tcrday morning, having been closed the
whole week on account Of the water
around the school house.
Although old-timcrs say that the high
water has not yet arrived and claim
that more is to come, the situation will
be relieved or intensified by the wealth
er. There is no doubt but what there
is yet world of low snow but con,in-
uation of the last two days Of cold will
allow the flood to subside to such an ex.
tent that fresh melting will have to
come all at once to bring the river back
to its high stage of the past week,
Little, If any, snow has yet melted in
the Gunnison country. the stream of
the past few days resulting from melt
ing in the North Fork and Muddy coun-
tries.

Oakland, Calf. May 7th, 1906.
Dear Fred
Yours received and was glad to hear
from you. l came here week ago to-
day. This is terrible place. l could
not get bed at any price the first three
nights was here, but am faring better
at present. have got place to sleep
and am making up for lost time. You
have no idea what things look like by
reading the papers. You can go for
miles and see nothing but big fine build
ings all torn to pieces. l have friend
here on the police force, and he gave
me a permit to go all over the burnt
district. put in days at it and the
sights are terrible. The streets are
piled from one to fifteen feet deep with
brick and stone, dead horses and men.
| haye seen them take out nine men
since l came and they have only got
Market Street cleared for miles to-
day and you can imagine about the
hundreds of other streets to clear yet,
and all the alleys. A district of II miles
square was burned. 1t cleaned the
whole business part of the town, just
left the Post Office and Government
Mint standing. The papers try to make
it as light as possible, but it is NO use
trying to fool the people-they wont
stay here if they can get out. They
had another shock here yesterday. It
was my first earthquake and to tell the
truth it was rather funny to me but the
people are all worked up over the big
one and when this one came it put the
fear of God in a lot of them; some ran,
some prayed and some of them swore.
l looked wise and grinned. for could
not do anything else. 1t was over in =
few seconds; it tore down three houses
here in Oakland and don't know how
many Of the old walls fell over Frisco,
but you cans see any account in the
papers. l will send you one of the clip
pings from an Oakland paper and you
can see what they say about it.
guess of all the sights to see, China
town was the worst. They claimed to
have about 25, 900 Cinnamon in San
Francisco and the police say that 10, 600
of them were sick and crippled and not
one of them that was sick or crippled
has been seen s'nce the fire. The SOL
diers kept them all herded up in China
town until the fire was all around them
before they gave them chance to get
out. They had tunnels dug for miles
all under the city and it is the talk of
the town that those tunnels are full of
dead Cinnamon. They are still guard
ing that part of the town and no one is
allowed to enter it. have permit to
go all over the city but can't get in
Chinatown, they won't let Chinaman
go on his own property. That part of
the town is entirely surrounded by SOL
diers and they are welcome to their job.
They take all the dead horses and men
and burn them. Well l could tell you
more about the sights here but don't
suppose it will be of any interest to you.
Give my regards to all the boys. Write
me at Bandon. Oregon as l am going
there as soon as can get boat out of
here.
