The Troubles Of High Water.

CoIlux has been cut oil from all rail-
ru,d communication for about ten
DAYS. and it now looks as though
this may be the case for two Or three
weeks to come.
This has uccasioned u great deaf oi
trouble and delay in getting neces-
sary supplies to the town. Two o'
tnree launches or gasotiue boats nave
fortunately been available, and by
n.in. them for towing fiatboats, sew
ernI loads of freight have been
brought down from Aloha or mp from
Buyre. 1t is reported that skiiis
wbi.i, come from Aloha can run down
the riilrond right OF way, directly
nver the track. which is submerged
in some places 10 to 10 inches under
water.
All sorts of transportation is beln"
brought into play. Wagons go t.
Bo,ce and get freight across the
river by skiff, hauling it up the east
bank Of Red river to Coliax, dis
t,ncr of twelve miles. This strip o
country along Red river is fortunate
" nbove overflow thus far.
Parties from Boyre report that tn
water in that town covers all tn
streets. aud il ia some Of the stores.
Arrangements are being made Z
have freight for Colfax brought t
Chopin, ON the I. & Z. railroad, t
be brought down Cane river iron
there to Colfax by launches nm
barpes. This is considered to be th
best way to get freights, and perft'
ton of this arrangement will in larH
,npusure relieve the situation.

ed permission to employ CONVEX
nnce to carry the mail from Cola

issued that mail for Colfax he route

In response to telephone ciiil on
Wednesday,. Mr.. Felix r. Bullitt' p"-
lice Juror elect for ward six, came
from Aloha to Coliax in skill. His
mission was tn see to the listing oil
overflow sufferers in ward six and
the making of some arrangements
Tor their relief. He came down the
railroad right Of way, and for a good
part of the distance he said his boat
was rowed directly over the railroad
track, which was under the water
from 10 to Is inches. In common
with u large number Of tire citizens oil
ward six, Mr.. Bullitt is sufferer from,
overflow and has lost his entire crop.
He says that while be himself may be
able to pull through the bard times
all right, there are great many o'
his neighbors in destitute and dis
trpssing condition who will be bound
to have help. Mr.. Bullitt also stated
To ns that the bill on which Aloha IT
partly located is filled with refugees
from the high water, and that every
available house is occupied, black.
smith shops aud corn cribs betty
used for shelter. and in some cases
three and four families are living in
the same house together.
