little damage. The wagon roads and
the railroads have suffered greatly
and many bridges are a total wreck
La Plata River Highest Ever known
A Foot of Water in Hesperus.
Special to The Herald.
HESPERUS, Colo, Oct. 6.-The La
Plata river here was the highest ever
known last night, the water rising
until it stood more than a foot in
depth on the main street Of the town.
The banks of the big irrigation ditch
were cut at point about mile above
town and this outlet saved the town
from being entirely swept away. The
bridge on the main sidetrack was
washed out and the bridge on the
main line of the Rio Grande South
ern, across the river near this place,
is partially out. Reports from La
Plata and Fort Lewis are to the eff
feet that very little damage, except
the almost total wrecking of the
wagon roads and the sweeping away
of the bridges, has been done.
All Bridges On the Animas Below
Durango Are Out-Family Lost.
Special to The Herald.
AZTEC, Oct 6.-The Animas is
raging today and this afternoon is
higher than within the memory of cit
lzens of the valley for the past twen-
ty years. Farmers were all warned
along the river by the telephone COM
pany yesterday and consequently less
damage than otherwise. Worse loss
is probably to grain and crops from
fields adjacent to the river banks,
which there was not time to save.
Every bridge in the county is out.
but one and that is a wagon bridge
at Aztec. Railroad bridges at Riv-
erside, Cedar Hill, Flora Vista, Farm
ington, Bloomfield are all out and a
wagon bridge at Flora Vista and other
points.
No loss of life is reported except
possibly in the case of Mexican fam
ily, living at Blanco. House, barns
and all their buildings were swept
away, and no one has seen any trace
OF the family. 1t is hoped that they
escaped to the hills but so far no one
has seen anything of them.

Pensions for Mothers.

A beginning under the Illinois law
for pensioning mothers was made at
Chicago on the 18th when four
mothers received checks for the sup
port Of their fatherless children. The
payments, made by County Agent
Joseph Meyer upon the order OF
Judge Pickney Of the Juvenile Court,
amounted to $40, apportioned &C
cording to the extent and condition
of the respective households and be-.
ing in the aggregate for months
care of seventeen children. Each Of
the four families had been sharing
in monthly rations distributed at
various depots Of the County Agent
The pensions eliminate these gifts of
food and clothing. A reporter for
The Chicago Tribune wrote Of one
of the four cases that he had found
a happy celebration in progress in
Mrs. Topples spick and span home
on the second floor Of a tenement at
5000 Archer avenue. The bare floors
had been scrubbed to snowy white
ness. In the kitchen entrance hung
the family's washing that appeared
clean and sweet. Mrs. Topped was
pleased to receive a visitor and dis
cuss her good fortune. "We'd much
rather the money than the rations,' y
she said. 'If they were the same in
value, I'd prefer the money. My
children range in age from 2 to II.
Their needs are all so different. With
this income to depend on l can stay
at home, make their clothes, and
keep them we'll provided for. I used
to have to go out to work and then
there was no one to mind them. ]

they were getting in bad company or
getting in accidents. The children
are all so good, but it takes mother
to watch them all the time, whether
they are little or big. I really was
at the point Of sending one or two
to some home. Wouldn't that have
been too bad? 1t would have brok-
