lot in the past: Prom about the year
1445 until 1775 the miners of Scotland
were bought and sold with the soil

bloodhounds were kept to trace them

days in the year except Paschal and

are ready to dig Mr.. Carr an
nounces he will be ready to receive
beets next week. The dump is
not ready but the scales are in
place and the beets will be weighed
and piled up in the street until
such time as the railroad can get
the beet trains to running.
The fields are soft and it is GO
ing to take lots of time and hard
work to get the beets to market
Sup't Carr is anxious to begin the
harvest as soon as possible. Sc

FLOODS WORK HAVOC
Heavy Rains Start Rivers on
Rampage and do much
DAMAGE.

The Conejos river Friday was the
highest ever known. At "a point
opposite Conejos at 10 O'Clock the
river was nearly two miles wide
and running through the old town
of Guadalupe. Guadalupe is the
oldest town in Colorado having
been settled something like 52
years ago and the water never be-
fore came up into the streets. The
inhabitants were driven from their
homes at an early hour this morn
ing and several of the ancient
adobe buildings have fallen in
ruins.
There is so much water at this
time that the damage cannot be
estimated but it is known that
Broyles bridge is gone, Jacobs
bridge and lake are gone. At the
San Juan bridge the water cut
around the south side. The little
cement bridge across the mill ditch
is gone and the ditch full of gravel.
The steel railroad bridge and the
concrete wagon bridge are still
standing but approaches are
washed away. There are two
breaks in the railroad grade and it
is estimated about 200 yards of
track washed away.
Along the Conejos river the
damage to crops must have been
immense, Most of the grain was
standing in shocks in the fields
over which the water ran at depths
varying from several feet to few
inches. Many farmers lost every
thing and will need aid to get
through the winter. -.--
The Alamosa and Rio Grande
are also very high. A small dam
above the Terrace reservoir washed
out last night giving rise to story
that the reservoir was in danger
but such was not the case.
The Terrace reservoir was empty
at the beginning of the flood and
with valves wide open and water
pouring through the tunnel full
capacity it gradually filed until
about three-fourths full Friday al
noon after which it began to fall.
The river at Capulin was run
ming bank full and almost over the
.levee which keeps it from running
into La Jara creek. The La Jara
and the Terrace reservoirs held
the angry waters in check and
saved the town and surrounding
country from what otherwise must
have been a terrible flood.
Reports from Del Norte state
that few bridges are left in that
vicinity and the damage along the
Rio Grande has been great.
