The modern progressive house
keeper who has a ireless cooker no
longer finds it necessary to stay at

A great many people like boiled

cabbage, ~caulifower, sauerkraut, etc.
BY using the fireless cooker all doors

is to boil the dinner a few minutes

the cooker from six to eight hours.
The cooker may be placed on the

had been no casualties practically all
OF the refugees were faint from hun

The port authorities promptly or

engagement near the Dardanelles, but
the Ottoman authorities concede the
loss Of only one vessel, maintaining
that the rest of the fleet has reached
Constantinople In safety. 1t Is GER
tain, however, that there was an en-
gagement and that the Italian feet

So strict is the censorship at italian

Little News of Reliable Nature
Concerning Recent Happenings Per-

statement made at the German for

o00. .0oo-Entire Valley Scene of
Desoiation.
Austin, Pa, Oct 3.-With the arriv-
al of carload of collins here the
grimness of the tragedy, which has
practically obliterated this town, was
impressed on the survivors and on a
considerable number of workers, who
began anew their efforts to mine deep
ly into the hard hills of debris.
Twenty victims, including two at
Costello, had been placed in tempo
rary morgue at Odd Fellows hall, one
of the few buildings standing on the
ruined district.
The most essential matter in hand
here, aside from the persistent work
of clearing away the more accessible
ruins, is the completion of a census
of the living Austinans If the death
list aggregates anything like the enor-
nous number some have estimated
the health officials realize that condi-
tions demanding prompt attention
will arise within a few days In the
ruins.
The policing conditions are prac-
ri A
pour of rain served to materially re-
duce the number of incoming sight
seers and to this extent the police
were relieved. The state constabu-
larry, state sanitary engineers and
chief officials of the state health de-
par,,a.ar,- are cooperating in the meas
ures for protection and relief.
Dead May Number $50.
The most reliable estimate of the
number of dead places the total at $50.
The aspect of Austin, Costello and
the valley beyond is as dreary as it
is appalling. The valley side hills in
which they lie are still Uttered by the
shattered homes of their people and
the remnants of prosperous places of
business and manufacturing plants.
No reliable estimate of the property
loss can soon be made, but it is safe
to say it will not be less than $S,000,-
900. The paper and lumber industries
are utterly destroyed.
Questioned as to the cause of the
sudden failure of the Bayless Pulp and
Paper company's dam citizens and
business men accustomed to visit Aus
tin shake their heads ominously. They
recall the scare a year ago last jan
uary when considerable leak was dis
covered in the immense cement struc-
ture.
4 Below the torn dam the valley for a
mile or more Is swept practically
clean to bed rock, and Freeman's run,
the reservoir feeder, swollen by the
rain, is sweeping through new chan
nels where the main business portion
of the town once stood
Costello. three miles away, is pro-
portionately as shattered as Austin.
Only the loss Of the floods momen-
tum and the timely warnings given
by operators who risked their lives to
do so held the death list to two.
