Canon city Flooded Again.

Canon City, Colo.-For the third time
last week cloudbursts in the noun
tains near here Saturday raised the
Arkansas river to high stage last
night and its waters congesting in the
Royal Gorge again overflowed the rail-
road tracks, causing washouts and
rockslides in numerous places. The
heaviest rainfall seemed to be along
the headwaters of Currant, Wilson and
Four-Mile creeks, converting those
streams into raging torrents.
The wires carrying electricity for
lighting the streets at Canon City, as
well as conveying power to Cripple
Creek and Victor, were disabled by
the storm, the north approach to the
Santa Fe railroad bridge was swept
away by the current and over fifty
feet of track precipitated into the
river.
An east bound stock train carrying
1.700 head of sheep was caught by the
storm while entering the Royal Gorge.
but was stopped by a rockslide near
the hanging bridge and found itself
unable to retreat on account of the
washout in the rear. 1t was forced to
weather the storm all night In the
gorge with imminent danger of being
washed into the river, the cars at one
time standing in nearly four feet of
swiftly running water.

taken on the Pribiloff Islands by tho
North American Commercial company
which leases the sealing rights from
the government. The report should
have been received by August 10, but
nothing has been heard from Mr..
Lembkey. The fact that there were
known to be number of Japanese
pelagic sealing expeditions in the VI
