TOWN OF BOULDER FLOODED
Great Northern Will Not Be Able to
Run Trains Into Butte for
Three Weeks.

Butte. Mont, June S.-Telephone ad-
vices from Boulder, Mont, fifty miles
north of here to the Miner tonight
state that the streets of that town are
flooded, ii being impossible to walk
around the town, the water coming to
the knees of horses. the flood being at
higher stage tonight than last week.
1t was feared tonight that the Boulder
river above the town would break
through its banks and inundate the
place, and that every building in the
little town would be washed away.
A mass meeting of the people was
called and a large force of men imme-
to construct levees, as this course is
believed to be the only one which will
prevent the river from doing enormous
damage.
District Manager George r. Arm
strong of the telephone company who
telephoned the Miner tonight, states
that the damage done to the Great
Northern between Butte and Boulder
is serious. All of the railroad bridges
are either out or so badly damaged
that they will practically have to be
reconstructed, and the grade in places
is Obliterated.
At Bernice. the country road was so
badly flooded that the repair wagon
began to float and they had to aban-
don the vehicle and feel their way afoot
on high ground.
Mr.. Armstrong does not believe it
will be possible for the Great Northern
trains TO get through from Butte be-
fore three weeks.
