Durango, Colo.-Large forces of
men are at work repairing the dam
age wrought by the devastating wa
tiers, but they are engaged in once
more placing the stricken city in rum
ming order they are faced with a men,
caused by the flood-a shortage in
the food supply.
While it has not reached the famine
point as yet, the supply of flour and
potatoes is growing slim and sugar
has become almost an unknown
quantity. There is large flour mill
here, but the total absence of wheat
renders it of no assistance now. The
grain must be brought from the San
Luis valley and until the railroads
resume traffic this will be practically
an impossibility.
Dealers have not raised the prices
on their wares, but have issued
warnings to the people to econo-
mize.
Pack trains can bring in a limited
amount of supplies, but the Difficult
ties encountered would make the
prices prohibitive for many of the
people.
The Denver & Rio Grande is now
building spur of track from its line
down through one of the principal
streets of the city to the river in or
der to recover two box cars that
were on the bridge when 1t was
swept away.
The Rio Grande Southern succeed
ed in getting train from here to
Mancos, thirty-one miles The com.
pany expects to get to Dolores,
twelve miles farther, within two or
three days. A combination train car.
rying passengers. mail, baggage and
freight, will be run from here east as
far as the washout at La Baca.
1t is reported in Durango that one OF
the rescuers was drowned in Telluride.
His body has not been recovered. On
the Pennington branch of the Rio
Grande. during the progress of the
flood, bridge after bridge went out aft
er the last train had passed.
As reports continue to come in from
the flooded district it is evident that
the destruction will be greater than
anticipated. The most conservative
estimateh now place the loss at 3d.
100000 in the San Juan valley.
During the height of the flood on
the Animas river, a section man on
the Pennington branch of the Rio
Grande at Bindad reported seeing
cabin containing a man and dog
floating down the stream. Both were
lost. The idendity of the man has not
been ascertained.
A stage line has been established
between Durango and lockwood, a
distance of eighteen miles. From Rock
wood the travellers take saddle horses
to Silverton and from there to Ouray
to the railroad. The famous Red
Mountain toll road from Silverton to
Ouray is 80 badly damaged that it is
impossible except on horseback.
Trains now can operate from Den
yer to Lumberton. N. NJ, seventy-five
miles east of Durango. and from Du.
range east distance of thirty-one
miles, leaving a gap of forty-one miles
over which trains can not cross.

WILL BUILD TOGETHER
School Districts Nos. 81 and 81 COM
bine Snto One.

A very large and enthusiastic Cit
liens meeting was held at Fridayville
school near Springfield on Tuesday
evening. The meeting was called
for the purposa Of discussing the
advisability of combining districts
Nos. 81 and 81. After a thorough
discussion it was unanimously de-
cided to combine the two districts
and build a new modern two room
school building in the center of the
new district at cost Of about $1,000.
This comra :-;ty has a your:shing
Rural School Improvement Associ-
alton that has raised in the past few
years about $3.50 to use in equip
ing this new building. The trustees
of this new district have in sight
about $500 to put in this new build
ing and are thus entitled to 500
aid from the State and County to-
gether.
This is a wide awake and progress
sic community and they mean to gife
their children tile very best educa-
tional advantages possible. All other
districts that are able to combine and
give their children better education
al advantages should do so. The
State will aid literally all districts
that do so to build fine schools.

At four o'clock Tuesday afternoon he
called for a cigarette, the first re-
quest since the accident, except for
water. Drs. Edgar Horger, of Eutaw-

WILL ERECT NEW CHURCH.
The st. Matthews Method.sts to Have
Handsome Ediflce.

Handsome Ediflce.
The st. Matthews correspondent OF
The State says:
That the Methodists Of st. Mat
thews will soon have handsome
new church is now almost certain.
The late J. K. Wannamaker, who died
last February, made a bequest OF
$4,000 in cash to this church, which
amount was to BIZ available within
three years after his death. The ex'
ecutors of the will will be able to
pay $4,000 Of ,tha; amount one year
from the date OF Mr.. Wannamaker's
death, and the remaining $4,000
will be paid at the end of three
years.
As the membership has been con-
templating the building of new
church, this generous gift came at a
very acceptable time. At a meeting
of the trustees OH Sunday, it was de-
cided that a meeting Of the church
to be held at RE early date for the
purpose of formulating plans for the
new building. Another question to
be decided is the location-whether
the present site or another will be
used. The church was at one tims
centrally located, but the general
growth of the town has been in a
different direction, and the location
is rather remote from large part
of the membership.
The fund as given by Mr.. Wanna
maker will dobtlass be supplemented
by a good sum, and in addition to
the church, modern and commod-
ious parsonage will be erected. 1t
is proposed that building commit
tee be appointed in the near future
and that work shall begin on. the
building in the early part of the
coming year.

Very Bedly Needed.

There has baen a good deal OF
talk of the great need of new opera
house in Oranseburg. Lately this
matter has taken on other aspects,
and a company is considering the
erection of such a building in this
city. 1t is thought that in the near
future these plans will eliminate in
the erection of an up-to-date play
house. Such q building is badly
needed in this city and 1t is hoped
that the need will be supplied before
long. The present opera house could
he enlarged by the city, and made
to answer all purposes.

PROPOSED SCHEDULE
Correspondent Writes Interestingly
on the Suject.

In reference to dispatch from FL
loree in regard to- change In schedule
on Pregnall branch Of A. c. l.. Ry.,
I beg to say that some time ago an ef-
fort was made to get a schedule some
thing like this: Leave Orangeburg
In the morning on the Lane train
at, say seven A. NJ, run to Creston,
and then in down, in and out to Fer
guson, If possible and connect by all
means with the up train of the South
ern at Pregnalls. Then do not walt
to connect NTH train going down but
return at once to Orangeburg, reach
ing there, say 11.30 or II M. Then
leave Orangeburg in afternoon at
about four o'clock, run ON down. In
and out at Ferguson and connect with
the up and down train on the South
ern in the afternoon and evening at
Pregnalls, then back to Orangeburg
as usual.
Some of us think this would be the
most satisfactory schedule that could
possibly be gotten, feeling as we do
that it is more important to connect
with the train going up on the South
ern in the afternoon than to connect
with the midday train going to
Charleston. We understood some OF
the folks at Elloree agreed to this
proposition when it was first made
but on second thought decided against
it. Some of us think the above sched-
ule would suit the travelling public
and the majority of people along the
whole line of rood better than any
we can get, and we do hope Elloree
will be magnamimous enough to be
willing without kicking to see this
put into operation, provided we can
get it. The only way to get and hold
trade is to meet competition and
merit patronage. Pou cannot force
people to trade where they do not
wish to trade, and you may rest as
sured the majority of people soon
find out where they can get the best
bargain. When they find that they
can get better bargains at home they
will not go elsewhere to trade. So II
it is possible for the Chamber Of Com
merce at Orangeburg to- get this
schedule let them go ahead and do 80.
And besides I hear some say they
wish they could have Sunday train
on this road, though, am not advo-
eating that.

WEATHER REPORTS.
To Be Furnished Farmers by Bell
Telephone Company.

To Be Furnished Farmers by Bell
Telephone Company.
Through an arrangement perfect
ed between the United States Wealth
er Bureau and the Southern Bell Tel
ephone Company, more than $4,000
Southern farmers will receive daily
weather reports by telephone begin
ming July 1st.
The daily weather reports will be
furnished the Telephone Company by
the Weather Bureau and the report
will be read to the farmers by tele'
phone operators. At a given hour
each day a general alarm will be
sounded, calling every farmer to- the
telephone. When they are all as
sembled the report will be read. Any
farmer who Is not able to answer the
signal and hear the report has the
privilege of calling the operator and
securing the information.
Almost every farmers telephone
line connected with the Bell System
has SIX or more subscribers and by
reading the report to each line the
work can be speedily accomplished
This is the first comprehensive and
systematic effort to furnish this In
formation without cost to the farmers
of the South. The spread Of the tele
phone in the rural districts in the
past few years has made 1t possible
to reach such large number of far
mers through the Bell System, an6
the dissemination of weather news b!
telephone is one of the many practi
cal uses for the telephone on the
farm.
The territory of the Southern Bel
Company covers the state Of NORTH
and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida
Alabama, Virginia and the southern
half Of West Virginia.
