SenoT Ricci said that the public buildings
IN Washington compared favorably vita
the classical palaces OF Italy
Your public buildings show that the
American taste for artistic surroundings
IS refined and cultivated. L also shows a
desire TO vary the style OF buildings. You
have the Treasury building and others q
that style. there is the State. War and
Navy Department; there Is the Post-ofacs
Department, the Municipal building. the
Congressional Library. all OF which are
different styles
One feature OF architectural Washing
ton that particularly attracted nv at
tentioD was that little huts Inhabited By
negroes occupied a place on the most
fashionable thoroughfares side By side
with magnificent palaces and the rich

You must not judge the Italian peo-

A cloudburst extending a long dis.
tance across the upper range Of the
Greenhorn mountains yesterday after
noon, caused the most damaging Food
In this part Of the Arkansas valley
that has been witnessed here since
1894 when the entire stretch OF the
Rio Grande and Santa Fe railroads
were washed out between this city
and Pueblo. The water here was
high in all creeks and In the river
and although the exact damage may
never be known, but estimates now
shows over 5000 considering
actual damage and delays to public
works.
The water commenced coming down
Sand creek and Oak creek about
4 80 in the afternoon and made a
rapid rise. Both creeks were run
ming higher than in the memory Of
the Oldest inhabitant. All the bridges
on Oak creek are washed out and the
Fifth street bridge over Sand creek
we're carried out. Most Of the other
bridges on Sand creek were 80 badly
damaged that they will have to un.
dergo repairs.
The water was running about eigh-
teen or twenty feet deep in Sand
creek and about twenty or twenty five
feet deep,in Oak creek. Chandler
creek WAS ten feet deep and the Hard.
scrabble WAS an ocean OF water. All
the streams were out of their banks.
The Second street bridge over Sand
creek blocked with debris and caused
the water to flow over the banks in
both directions. flowing down Second
onto Petroleum avenue and flooding
the property Of J. V. McCandless.
The blocking Of the bridge and the
now concrete retaining wall built by
A. X. Gumaer were moro or less re
nponsible for the flooding Of East
Florence. which was inundated from
one foot to three feet. The water
WAS standing three feet deep In tho
Santa Fe depot.
The most exciting times was down
In North Florence where some won
on and children we're surrounded by
water and had to be rescued by n
PARTY Of stalwart men who braved the
demonstrating water. sMrs. James
Burns and Mrs. Dan Sharp and their
two children had n remarkable escape
and II they had not been rescued they
would have perished. They were
all seated In the Burns house when

brought her out Of the stream OH
horse back
In order to reach the women and
the other child, the rescue party hur-
riedly built RATS and drifted out into
the raging torrent and carried the
helpless women and child out onto
safe ground. AS the Senator John
ston house was the only ono in that
vicinity that was not flooded. the
rescued were carried there aud cared
for. One other woman who was
bedfast with the rheumatism was
carried out of her bed while she
and the bed we're floating on the
water in her house A sick child
was also carried out. The little
girl rescued from tho log was almost
chilled to the bones and was shiver-
ing as II she had been out in cold
winter day. There were many others
In the flood dist rict who we're carried
out by the rescuers.
The water was blocked at the Sixth
street bridge and took a shoot to the
west from there, flooding that resi- :
dence section from Rev. Kessler's =
home down as far as to the railroad
tracks and the land was inundated
from eighteen inches to three feet.
Water broke into the Kessler residence
and run over the kitchen. Mrs.
Thompkins and her daughter Mrs.
Jones waded out of their home on
Pixies Peak avenue In three feet Of
water. They were slow IN getting
out OF the house but when they did

ings were under three feot of water.
Their chickens were killed and

the water began rushing through the
property. Ora Of the little girls was
carried out Of the house by the water
and lodged on piece of driftwood
that was passing.
The two women and the other child
were caught IN the house and could
not get out. The house WAS floating
on the water and II it had sunk the
occupants would have perished
Charles Pike was the hero Of the
hour. Securing horse he started
into the deep water, but the force of

the animal and had very narrow

Fighting for something to grasp 30
that he would not sink. he finally mp.

grasp its tail and by an heroic effort
he managed to pull himself onto the
horses back. Then he went further

The accumulation of debris at the
Santa Fe bridges "a both Oak creek
and Sand creek blocked the water

ing up as far as Sixth street. There
was one foot of water running
through the W. L. Crippen home on
West s eventh. The rescuing PAL
ties carried out many women and
children from their homes on lower
Pixies Peak avenue.
About 1900 feet of the Santa Fe
branch running to Rockvale WAS
washed out and the bridges we're
either carried out or washed out Of
plumb. The Rockvale mine, on
this account will be i'd 10 for several
days. All tho bridges on the Chand-
ler branch Of the Rio Grande were
washed away and most of the track is
gone. 1t will be about ten days. 1t
is estimated today, before the track
can be relaid and the mine resume
operations. All the mines In that
vicinity will be idle for more or less
time.
The big steel bridge OF the Rio
9rande on Oak creek WAS thrown four
or Ave inches ont of line and travel
is slow over that part of the road.

and Canon City, is out of commission
