AUSTIN RUINS
Number of Victims Will
Not Exceed no.

Austin, Pa, Oct. 3.-Now that IN,
facts of the Austin food can be MAJ
clear, 1t Is known that the stories teie
phoned from this devastated town re-
specting the death loss were grossly
exaggerated. The roll of dead viii not
exceed 100. There are twenty-four
identified bodies and atotaiof eighty-six
reported missing. The authorities say
that there may have been strangers In
the town who were drowned. Even al.
lowing for these and for mistakes In
the hurried canvass, 1t is not expected
that the total dead win exceed 40.
The greatest difficulty now Is the re-
covery of bodies from the thousands Of
tons of wreckage that choke the mar
row valley. More men are needed to
help in the work OF lifting the timbers,
trees and destroyed houses heaped in
certain parts of the town ana strewn
along the valley from this place to
Costello. The officials say that unless
the wreckage is cleared away within
thirty-sfx or f~orty-eight hours and the
bodies dug out 1t will be necessary to
apply fire to the debris as a means to
prevent a pestflence.
Something like organization came
out of the energetic but confused eff
forts Of Sunday and yesterday. A
steam log roller grappled at the high
pile of splintered boards heaped In
front OF the Bank Of Austin. The

the authorities have concerned them
selves most The town received its
drinking water from a number OF
springs and wells upon the hilIsides
above. mr. Dixon has posted notices
through Austin warning the survivors
not to use this water.
A house across from the authorities
headquarters has been made into a.

BOTH STATES GET
INHERITANCE TAX

Salem. Ore.-The Attorney Gener-
AIS office has rendered an opinion on
the question as to whether or not the
state of Oregon is entitled to an in
heritance tax on property located in
this state while the certificates of
ownership of the same are being held
in California. 1t is held that mas
much as the statue of this state pro-
vides that the state shall demand an
Inheritance tax. and as the property
is located in this state, the state is
legally entitled to the tax, while Cali
fornia, if that state has an inherit
ance tax law, is legally authorized to
collect tax on the certificates. I'm
der this holding, both the states OF
oregon and California are empowered
to collect tax from one piece OF
property.

ALL TASKS SHOULD
Be SYSTEMATIZED
Set One Evening Aside for
Letter Writing.

All busy women know the value of
system. and every busy woman should
systematic her daily tasks.
In the matter of letter writing, many
women are great prOcrastinators. They
persistently leave important letters I'M
answered until the last possible mo-
ment and then have to write a hurried
note, often forgetting to take up i'm
pertant subjects for discussion.
The best way to do is to have one day
or evening set apart for weekly letter
writing One woman reserves Tuesday
morning for this purpose, and she al
lows none but the most pressing duties
to interfere with her writing.
While reading a letter she will jnt
down any particular thing she wants to
mention in the reply on the back of the
envelope. place it in the letter rack On
her desk and when Tuesday comes has
all the weeks correspondence ready fox
answering before her. If during the in
term of the receipt and answering of
a letter she thinks of any point she
wished to discuss, that, too, is noted on
the envelope
With this system letter writing is a
real pleasure-one that is looked for
ward to every week with keen interest.
