ed, many families being driven from
their homes, and the power plant of
the Dallas Street Railway company is
under water to the first floor, cutting
of all light and electrical current.
Lowlands Flooded.
The flooded section is along the
stretches Of lowland, and the main
residence and business sections of the
city will probably escape the waters
invasion. The property loss will be
heavy.
Left All Behind.
Those driven from homes were fore
ed to leave all their possessions, many
barely escaping with their lives. House
hold goods In many instances were
piled high. their owners climbing to
the summit OF the piles to escape the
rapidly e~ncroaching waters.

was paid for an e~ighty-acre tract of
arid land In order to get a line through
that section.
Using Old Survey.
An old survey made years ago by
the Union Pacific iss-being used for
the route of the new road and it Is
along this survey that the purchases
are being made. The object of the
road is to open a new section of coun-
try between Fort Collins and the Wy
oming line, furnish a more direct route
to the west from Denver and to con-
meet the Kansas City line with a di-
rect route to new lines now being con-
structed in Idaho, Washington and
Oregon. The new route is to be
made second in Importance to the
main line through Wyoming.
viii Not Block New Road.
Vice President Schemmel of the
Denver, Laramie and Northwestern,
stated this morning that he had been
informed of the activity of the Union
Pacific, but that the proposed extern
sion of the Union Pacific would not
in any way block the new road to the
northwest. He says there is room for
all of them.
Coincident with this extension It is
learned that the relations between the
Colorado and Southern and the Union
Pacific will be friendly in connection
with the extension. Both roads will
use the same terminals at Fort Collins
and the Colorado and Southern will
build a cutoff from Longmont to La
fayette which will give both roads
about the same mileage to Fort Col
Inns.
