OKLAHOMA CITY, Okl, oct 22.-Serous
floods threaten portions of central and
north Oklahoma, the result of a steady
downpour Of rain that has prevailed for the
last three days and still continues. In some
portions the rainfall has amounted almost
to the proportions of a cloudburst Nu-
merous reports OF loss OF life, made yes
terday, remain unconfirmed and are be-
lieved to be without foundation. No single
report Of loss Of life has been yer fled.
The heavy rainfall began Monday morn
ing and at places has fallen incessantly
since then. It has caused the Canadian and
the Arkansas rivers two of the largest
streams In the state, to overflow their
banks, doing much damage to farm lands
causing washouts on the railroads and In
some instances threatening small towns.
At Tulsa and vicinity the Arkansas had
risen ten feet in the twenty-four hours
ended this morning and was then still
coming up. This brought the stream to
within three feet of the highest stage
reached in the flood last spring. Many
farms around Tulsa were flooded and farm
ers and their families were compelled to
move out The town of West Tulsa is
threatened with inundation.
In the vicinity of Perry last night all
/ streams rose suddenly and hundreds OF
! acres of crops were flooded. A third OF the
town of Pawnee, with 1850 inha bitants, was
covered last night with six feet of water.
In the valley of the Canadian the valleys
! for several miles between Shawnee and Nc
Loud are inundated and several parts of
the Rock Island. Missouri, Kansas & Texas
and the Santa Fe tracks have been washed
out. In many directions telegraph service
is interrupted and details are lacking.
Tracks Cause InundatIon.
| Ell RENO, Okl, Oct 22.-Two hundred
workmen were unable to reach their work
in the Rock Island railroad shops and
yards today and the night crews were conf
pelled to go to their homes iry boats owing
| to high water from Four-Mile creek filling
the lowlands between the city and the
yards The embankment at the new yards
prevents the water from reaching the
Canadian river and has flooded out rest
dents in the northwest portion of the
town, caused the lee plant iron foundry
and other Industries TO suspend. This is a
recurrence of last springs floods and dam
age suits for thousands of dollars were
filed against the railroad at that time and
the same thing will probably be done
again. At noon the new yards were practi-
caly closed on account OF the water
