Paul got .barg6s and RATS and with a
crew of % men patroled the river at
all hours, rescuing the cattle from the
floods The cattle were all put in
pound and the owners could get them
by identification. Many thousands of
dollars worth of live stock were saved
in this way, beside great amount of
suffering.
The Mississippi river during the
flood was the widest it has been since
1888. In some places the river was a
mile wide and the. railroad traffic at
these points was completely shut off.

Value and Protection Of Street Trees.

Municipalities have of late much
awakened to the value of street trees
and the ACCESSIBILITY of protecting
them, more especially since several
eastern courts have placed a value of
several hundred dollars on fine old
specimens damaged by public service

street trees as so many distractions
and nlace no value upon them. This
