innate the damage done by the flood

making an investigation from the
Burgess place up to the place of or
igin. His own loss Mr.. Nelson esti-
mates at $4,000 and he counts him
self very fortunate at that. His
house was one of the few which with
stood the flood waters due, in his be-
lief, to the fact that it is a house built

ranch is situated right at the juno

followed that down the main branch

barns and outbuildings. However, he
lost everything of an eatable nature
on his place except thirty jars of
canned fruit which were in his cell

more fortunate neighbors for two
days.
Hail I'm Great piles Yet.
The progress of the flood was re-
tarted considerably, according to Mr.
Nelson. by the great masses of hail
in the water and this hail. he de-
clares. was deposited along the creek
in great piles which will remain un-
Ii snow flies. On his place. he says,
there are several piles of this hail,
almost solid ice, which is still four
and five feet high.
Mr.. Nelson tells many other details
and incidents of the flood which in
dicate that in proportions it was al
most as great as the Heppner flood
and was only less destructive because
the valley was wider and less thickly
populated.

FRIGHTENED BY
AN EXPLOSION
WERE USING SHELLS LOADED
DURING THE CIVIL WAR AS
"DoG IRONS" AND POT WAS
BOILING NICELY WHEN FUSES
BLEW OUT.

Several negroes at Warrington mar
rowly escaped serious injury yester-
day afternoon when some shells, used
during the civil war, and which the
negroes were using for dog irons"
exploded. None of them were in
jured, but at last accounts it was re-
ported that some of them had not quit
running.
At Warrington there are a couple
of old cannons used during the war
between the states and it is no IN
common thing to dig up the old shells
or projectiles, used in these guns dur
ing the war. there being numbers Of
them imbedded in the sand along the
beach.
1t seems that a crowd of negroes
had secured four of these old shells
and were using them to place q POT
upon, having built their fire under
the pot and between the shells. For
several minutes everything went along
nicely and the pot began to boil.
Just about this time the heat be-
came sufficient to cause the powder
placed in these shells forty five Or
fifty years ago to explode. Fortu-
nately, for the negroes, the shells had
been loaded so long and the elements
had worked upon them to such an ex-
tent that the explosions were not
serious, but it gave them a good scare
and made them forget their cooking.

RICH GIRL DIES
IN LOCKED FLAT
BODY OF REcLUsE, WHO LIVED
ON MILK, CRACKERS AND CAN
DY, FOUND IN HOUSE IN NEW
YORK.
Special to The Journal.

New York, Aug. 1s.-Eugenia Lut-
treI, said to be the daughter of the late
State Senator George M. LuttreI, was
found dead early today in a Broadway
apartment house under queer circum-
stances.
Although the woman was wealthy,
with books indicating fortunes in real
estate in Jacksonville. Fla, and this
city, 1t is believed that she had sub
sisted for months on practically no
other food than milk, crackers and
candy.
Hundreds Of milk bottles and count
less candy and cracker boxes were
found strewn about her apartment.
Although she had occupied the
rooms for the last five months, Miss
Luttrel and never had her furniture
unpacked. She had not even put up
bed for herself.
Attendants at the apartment house
said she had been content to sleep in
chair drawn up to a window. She
had lived utterly alone and had no
visitors since the death of her mother,
six months ago.

ENFoRcED-NUMsER OF AR
RESTS MADE LAST NIGHT,

Automobile, motorcycle and bicycle
owners and riders will find il to their
interest to see that they comply with
all Of the laws regulating lights, bells,
horns, speed, ETC., as Chief Sanders
OF the police department, is now wag-
ing a special campaign to see that
the laws regulating these vehicles and
machines are strictly complied with
and last night eight or ten arrests were
made for violations of the various
sections Of the code relating to them.
Not only have all of the officers
been given instructions to pay es-
pecial attention to the enforcement of
these ordinances, but last night a man
was detailed to the task Of watching
the automobile, bicycle and motorcycle
operators on East Hill, where the
most Of the complaints have been
made.
Officer Commyns, who was detailed
to look after the enforcement Of the
ordinances in this locality, made some
thing like half a dozen arrests last
night, while the mounted officer on
the east side Of town made two or
three more arrests.
While the laws are rather generally
observed in the down town district.
many complaints have been received
from residents on East Hill, where a
lot of new street paving has been
recently laid and where it is claimed
that many of the automobile drivers
ignore the ordinances regulating the
speed, the sounding of signals, the
carrying Of lights, etc.

Mclaughlin Seeks
Mobile Terminals
tcontInued From Page One,

tContihueO from PaQ6 On60
One Mile Creek, where extensive
wharves and terminal facilities are
under construction. The connection
Of the two properties by a bridge
would be easily possible.
GIVES CONNECTION TO REFORM.
The recent connection of the lines
Of the Tombigbee Valley railroad and
the Alabama, Tennessee & Northern,
also a Cochrane property, gives the
Cochrane lines system reaching from
Hannahubba, on the Mobile river near
Calvert, to Reform, in Pfckens county.
The Mobile Terminal Company has Sc
cured right-of-way from it's water
front property to a connection with the
Southern Railway north of Mo-
bile, and it is understood that this line,
which Is virtually q belt line, will
eventually connect with all railroads
entering Mobile. The announcement ct
an extension Of the line of the Tom
bigbee Valley from Hannahubba to
connection with the Mobile Terminal
Company is expected at any time
This extension, with a bridge and con-
nection at Blakely Island with the
Pensacola, Mobile & New Orleans
railroad, would give a through line
from Pensacola and Mobile as far
north as Reform.
North of Reform numerous survey
ing parties have been operating for
sometime past, some in the employ
Of the Illinois Central railroad and
others in the interest of the Alabama,
Tennessee & Northern. Mr.. Cochrane
has stated his intention Of tapping the
Alabama coal fields with his line, by
an extension north or northeast from
Reform, and preliminary surveys for
this line have been made in several di-
rections. Persistent rumors have been
circulated that 1t was the purpose Of
the Illinois Central to acquire The
Cochrane properties in order to secure
another outlet on the Gulf Coast, but
MI. Cochrane has denied that nego-
tiations TO this end are pending. The
fact that Mr.. Mclaughlin was, soma
years ago, prominently identified win
the construction department Of the Il
linois Central gives added interest to
the rumors, especially in view of The
plans Of the Pensacola, Mobile &
New Orleans railroad to connect with
the B1akely Island terminals. A con-
nection or traffic arrangement with the
l. c., even though no direct sale Of the
Cochrane lines was contaminated,
would give both Pensacola and Mobila
another direct line to Chicago, st
Louis and Kansas City.
