Sufferers in Louisiana Are Well Taken

June Rise May Prolong the Trouble.
New Orleans, La, May 23.-Condi-
tions sanitary and otherwise, Of Mis-
sissippi river food refugee camps at
Atherton, Miliken's Bend, Vieksburg
and Natehez are excellent, according
to John NJ. Parker of this city, who re-
turned this morning from an eight
weeks experience in the flooded dis
trict. Parker is the owner of a large
plantation inundated by the Salem
crevasse. He lost several herds of
thoroughbred cattle.
Refugees Are Destitute.
"The refugees from the Salem
break" he said, care practically di-
vided into four camps, Atherton, Mill
ken's Bend, Vieksburg and Natchez,
and 90 per cent. of the refugees are
negroes, absolutely destitute. The san
itary conditions of these places are as
good as could be expected, and, gen.
orally speaking, the health of the ref
ugees has been excellent. Each camp
has its corps of surgeons and Red
Cross nurses, who see to it that sani-
tary regulations are complied with.
Each camp is properly policed by de-
tails from the national guard, the mem
bers of which have given excellent
service.
Water VIII Fall Rapidly.
"With the rapid fall of the Mis-
sissippi river, these four camps can soon
be dispensed with. From present in
dications the water will fall rapidly
and by the end of May many refugees
inundated by the Panther Forest,
Salem and Beulah breaks will be able
to return to their homes and resume
work. The planters will feed them, but
clothing and bedding viii be badly
needed, and soon, so that it can be
carried back to their homes when they
leave the camps. None can be pur-
chased locally.
"The water from the Torras, Atcha-
falaya and Hymelia breaks is receding
slowly, and it probably will be late in
June before farming operations can be
undertaken, and in the meanwhile some
one must feed and care for the labor
ers, as they are now destitute.
June Rise May Prolong Flood.
"The government, the Red Cross, the
Kings Daughters, other societies and
individuals have given assistance to
the utmost. How much longer this as
sistanee will be necessary depends upon
the Mississippi river. The annual June
rise may prolong the food conditions
many weeks"
Mr.. Parker praised the self-saerihee
and individual heroism Of the planters,
who, having lost all their property, en-
listed in the work of rescue.
He declared the daring exploits Of
white men in saving negro families
caught in the food without warning on

A Flattened Wheel.
Causes Rail Destruction and Inter
feres with H. l. ID. Traffic During
the Week Of Extremely Cold
Weather.

Aberdeen, S. D., Jan. l3-The
trouble the Milwaukee railroad
has experienced in operating it's
coast trains during the extreme
ly cold weather was augmented
this week when two pairs of fiat
wheels on a diner on the Olym-
plan, one of the crack coast
trains, broke over 500 rails be-
tween Twin Brooks and Aber-
deem, and demoralized all freight
and passenger service.
The wheels, one pair on the
front and the other on the rear of
the diner, became flattened by
the brake catching and failing
to release after the train left
Milbank for the west. The re-
suit was the wheels slid along
the track until they became fat.
Upon reaching Aberdeen the
car was taken off, and crews were
sent out to repair the damage.
No attempt was made to run any
freight trains, and all passenger
trains were ordered to run at a
speed not to exceed ten miles an
hour, and to stop at stations until
the track to the next station was
repaired. This precaution was
taken to avoid accidents. Trains
into Aberdeen were all the way
from fine to twelve hours late.
