Residents of the town who lived on
higher ground and beyond the reach Of
the torrent saw houses containing fami-
lies crying for aid swept away before
their eyes. powerless to render them any
assistance. Eye witnesses of the disaster
tell of seeing lights flickerine for a mo-
ment in doomed buildings. and seeing the
structures drifting in to the narrow
canyon. crushed against one another like
bite Of pasteboard.
An entire row of buildings was COM
pletely swept away. and others were
found a shapeless mass a hundred yards
from their foundations. Everywhere are
seen bodies of drowned cattle and horses.
Only stone buildings and those on
higher ground were left standing.
To Mrs. 8. J. Rookie, a telephone op-
orator, who lost her life in the flood, many
residents owe their escape.
In the face of certain death she stayed
in a doomed building, sending alarms to
every resident who had telephone. Her
own escep pc was cut off by water.
Ration, N. NJ. also suffered severe
loss. Many homes were washed away
and several hundred Mexicans spent the
greater part of the night in the Catholic
Church.

did that, but they yelled themselves
hoarse and tried to show that they
we're very much in earnest.
Furthermore, McGaw said to-day
that Bryan was certain to carry West
Virginia, and that conditions in that
State were never better for a sweep
ing Democratic victory. In this decla-
ration he was backed up by Clarence
Watson, the millionaire coal operator
and West Virginia's representative on
the Credentials Committee.
Watson is also of the opinion thai
Bryan will carry the State. He is the

A Great Land Opening.

A number of exceptional opporuni-
ties are now being Offered by the
Government for enterprising and in
telligent farmers to secure choice
farms on a dozen or more large iri-
cation projects which are nearing
completion.
Owing to the rapid narrowing of the
limits of the unoccupied public do
main, it is doubtful if Ghese oppor-
tunities will ever occur again. 1t
is probable, therefore, that the West
will see one of the greatest influXes
of homeseekers in 1908 that has been
witnessed in many years.
The great fertility and wonderful
crop yields from irrigated lands, and
the favorable terms the Government
offers settlers warrants The belief
that before the year closes not a sim
gle farm will be without it's entry
man. These farms are located in
North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming and
Nevada.
A letter addressed TO The Sta,i.ti-
