MADE II A SUCCESS.

Mention has been made that Will
liams & Finnie, proprietors of the Oro-
vile brick yard, had already burnt one
kiln of brick. Experts have passed
on these brick, and pronounce them to
be first-class building material. The
brick have been accepted by the arch
itect who is to superintend the con-
struction of Mr.. Grubb's ney hotel.
Men with the experience to pass judg-
ment, who have seen samples OF the
brick in the Gazette Office freely praise
the workmanship. Another kiln of
125,OOO is nearly ready to fire. The
manufacturers are able to supply brick
at a price that justifies building hous-
es of that material in the future. 1t is
to be hoped that Messrs. Williams K
Finnie will be rewarded for their en-
terprise by receiving orders for as
many brick as they can turn out.

Friday and Saturday last. They came
over in an automobile, and from here
DR.. Couche went on by train to Grand

coming to the country, going from

been in business at Twisp ever since
the town was established. They felt
considerably disappointed over the
failure of the county divisionists to
win out, but were somewhat comforted
by the strong showing made in the
face of such active opposition, and feel
confident that in another two years
their cherished hopes will be realized.

day helped the situation here and on
the lower levees somewhat. The riv-
er fell four-tenths of foot here in the
past "a hours, but the crest of the
flood is moving south.
desperate fight is on today to hold
the levees at Luxora, Osceola, Bar
field and Caruthersville. The water
is topping the levee for miles below
Charlottesville, and sand boils and
crawfish leaks add to the terror. The
steamer Kit Carson with fifty thous-
and sand bags arrived at Osceola to-
day.
The break at Wilson is one thous-
and feet wide, and eastern Arkansas
will be flooded from the Mississippi to
Crowley's Ridge, an area of 100000
acres.
The water reached Earle, Arkansas
last night and the electric light plant
went out of commission.
Couriers rode all night in advance
of the yellow flood which is pouring
westward over the flat lands, warning
persons to seek safety.
Yawls and boats have been sent in
to the flooded country and hundreds
are being rescued from high spots

So far as. can be learned there has
