natural for man to dislike fat on

PEOPLE ARE MISSING
AT COLFAX

and business houses swept far from
their original sites-these are some
of the general features of the flood
that has devastated Colfax. Today
the waters are receding and the gi.
gantic task Of ehabiIitation has be-
gun. 1t is impossible to give a close
estimate Of the damage, but it will
not run less than 100000. JnJ
Fed by melting SHOWS in the
mountains and heavy rains, Spring
Flat creek, from tiny brook Tues
day morning, became roaring,
ever widening torrent Tuesday
night. Wednesday morning It's bed
encompassed the entire city and
during the day dwellings, business
houses and everything movable
bobbed about upon the rushing wat
ers like corks. AS the waters re-
cede this morning Colfax citizens
find it difficult to recognize the
city.
ALL BRIDGES OUT.
Every bridge in the city went out
except the street bridge of the o.
r. &, ~. one. bridge belonging to the
Inland Railroad Co. and two bridges
in the north part of town. All the
buildings on the south bank of the
South Palouse river are thought to
have been wrecked. The Inland de-
pot was floated from its founda-
tons and lodged near the o. r. &
N. depot. two blocks away. The resi-
dence district from Lake street east
is in ruins. Floating residences
damned against each other and
were crushed into splinters.
Several persons were forced to
remain on top of buildings until res
cued this morning and many mar
rowly escaped death.
Intense suffering is reported
among some of the more destitute
refugees, but every effort is being
made to relieve their condition by
persons residing on the higher
ground. whose homes were not
reached by the water.
ELECTRIC SYSTEM WRECKED.
The electric light system is
wrecked and it will be several days
before it can be repaired. In the
meantime, the city will be in dark
ness. The entire water supply Is
also cut off. Railroad tracks have
been washed away and wagon roads
have been obliterated. Except for
one telephone wire the city is with
out outside communication.
The exact number of persons
missing is not definitely known to-
day, but it is believed that when the
flood has subsidized and order has
been brought out of the chaos that
now exists, it will be found that
several persons have been drowned.
