Fort Worth, Texas, May 27-In the
grip of the most remarkable flood
which ever swept down Trinity river
at this point, north, east and west OF
Fort Worth not railway wheel is
moving, nor is any effort being made
TO start traffic. Every energy of rail-
way officials Is being bent towards
saving tracks and bridges In the vicin-
ity of Fort Worth. Trinity river
sweeps in a great arc around Fort
Worth, surrounding the town on three
sides. Across 1t there are dozens of
railway bridges and none OF them are
considered safe for traffic The waters
show no indication of receding and
every hour piles up the damage. Hun
dreds of cottages and humble homes
in the lowlands along the river are
Welding to the force of the flood and
are floating down stream, carrying the
fortunes OF the unhappy owners.
There was no loss of life today.
Dallas, Texas, May 27.-Six uniden-
tilted dead, a property loss OF more
than $l,000,000 and five thousand
homeless is the estimate tonight of

DRAINING THE EvRRoLAoEa
Vast Areas In Florida Becoming
Available as Garden Land.

The department of agriculture is spe-
cially interested in the project now on
foot OF draining the Everglades. These
half-hooded swamps to the south OF
the huge pond known as Lake Okee-
chobee are to be converted into dry and
productive land by constructing dikes
and pumping out the water-an
achievement which, when carried into
effect, will bring about the shipment, a
dozen years from now, of immense sup
plies of tomatoes, new potatoes, cab
bages, string beans and other fresh
garden produce to northern markets all
through the winter
1t has even been suggested that Lake
Okeeochobee might be drained by con-
meeting 1t with the Atlantic ocean by
canal 30 miles long. thus redeeming
100000 additional acres OF first class
farming territory.--outing Magazine.

Of Cincinnati, on Tuesday presented a
voucher for s12.S5 for personal ex.
penses to the auditor Of state, who re.
fused to honor 1t, claiming that the
Joint resolution under which the com
nittee was appointed is not valid The
voucher was drawn against the fund
Of $4,000 appropriated by the legisla
ture to pay the expense of the inves
tigation. Mandamus proceedings will
be instituted in the supreme court tc
compel the auditor of state to honor
the vouchers of the committee and an
early hearing and decision will be
urged. Representative +. w. Van
Dusen OF Norwalk, a member OF the
Cincinnati investigating committee
presented the voucher at the state au
ditors Office in payment Of his ex
penses, amounting to $4790. This
voucher was honored and he was
given a warrant for that amount drawn
on the legislative committee expense
fund and not the special expense fund
for the Cincinnati committee. This
was done by an agreement with State
Auditor Guilbert before the committee
left for Cincinnati so that the mem
bers might secure their initial expense
on this trip regardless Of what the
courts may DECIDE as to the validity Of
the investigating committee.
