COLD MAY RELIEVE
FLOOD CONDITIONS
Snow in Most Of Middle West
Which Is Expected to Reach
Capital Tomorrow.

The situation in the lower Mississippi
and Ohio valleys was characterized as
grave by officials Of the Weather Bu-
reau here today. At Pittsburgh the
river is reported at food stage. or about
26 feet, and at Cairo. Illinois, at 435 feet,
or ~ feet below food stage. The in
dications are for more rain all through
that section. with correspondingly grave
results.
THE rain storms have moved across
the Ohio river and will swell the
streams flowing into the Ohio river from
the South. from now on" said the Of
fetal today. This means further flood
conditions in the areas affected, since
these streams are the ones which gen.
orally affect that locality. While there
Is no immediate cause for alarm just
at present, unless conditions change. the
likelihood that there will be no change
for the worse, is not great The situa-
ton is acute"
Path Of the Storm.
The present storm started at point
near Durango Monday morning, accord
ing to the Weather Bureau, and moved
eastward along the lower Mississippi
valley and up into he Ohio valley, which
II reached last night. 1t is now in the
vicinity of the New York lake region.
In contradistinction to conditions
along the Mississippi and Ohio valleys,
where flood conditions prevail. the en-
tire Northwest is reported in the grip
of the ice king. Havre. Mont. reports
q degrees below zero; in Yellowstone
Park, il is IA degrees below zero; at
Flagstaff the temperature is only 26
degrees, and al Sheridan, Wyo., reports
show temperature of 16 degrees.
''The cold area covers the entire
Northwest, and extends as far south
is reported as low as 16 degrees below
zero as far south as the Texas Pan
handle. The expectation is that this
will extend as far east as the Atlantic
be succeeded hy cold. 1t is now snow
ing in most of the middle West Sec
tiors, and this may reach Washington.
Our forecasts indicate rain tomorrow,
followed by cold late in the day.
Cold May Give Relief.
This condition may relieve con-
ditions throughout the Ohio valley.
The storm is about over in Chic and
Indiana Mos Of the damage along
the Ohio river was caused by giving
away of the levee. the banks of the
river are low at the points affected,
and a very slight rise in the river
would flood a considerable section of
country II not protected by the levee."
Speaking of the situation along the
coast, the officials said that the storms
along the Cape Hatteras region Were
about over. "We have alarm signals
posted as a precaution. however," he
saiS. Off New England the wind Is
blowing sixty miles an hour now, and

Results in Tie-Ups of
Mails From the West

All mails due east through Pittsburgh
and Chicago have been held up by the
foods in the Middle West and there
are rows of clerks at the postoffice to-
day with nothing to do except wait.
Since yesterday morning not a single
bag of mail has passed through the
flooded district, and Postmaster Merritt
expects little for several days.
Everything In the Northern portion of
the United States west of Pittsburgh is
tied up as tight as lack of transporta-
ton facilities can tie them. The fol-
lowing are the mail routes from which
nothing has been heard since Z a. m
yesterday: Omaha-Ogden r. P. O.. De-
troit- Cleveland r. p. o.. Chicago-Min-
neapolis R. P. O., Pittsburgh-St. Louis
r. p O.. Pittsburgh-ChicagoR r. p O.,
Rock Island Kansas City r. p. o.. Chi
cago-West Liberty-Omaha r. p. o.
Mail which is routed through southern
Ohio by way of Cincinnati is still COM
ing through, although the service has
been somewhat crippled In spots. Post
master Merritt is fearful that when the
floods move further south that this
route will also be put out OF business,
and nothing except mail by way Of the
far southern routes will be received.

Reports on water stages in the swollen
rivers In the flood district were delayed
In reaching the United States Weather
Bureau today. Telegraphic communi-
cation was interrupted. and the local
Ohio forecasters could not report 10 the

Among the first river reports received
today was that from GAINESVILLE Ohio,
which stated that the Muskingurn liver

LUKE XVIII:12-14.

There are times in the course of
editorial reading when Luke xviii: 10
IA, is recalled to mind with increased
emphasis, no matter how thoroughly
its lesson may have been learned in
Sunday school. For some men in their
overwhelming attempts at self-justif-
cation carry the matter into column
after column of dreary droolings,
whereas the story told in the 104
words referred to is complete, thor
ough and incisive.
Such a feeling is born of those
hilariously martyresque articles now
appearing under the caption of "The
Last Ten Minutes of a Misspent Leg
tslative Life" in the iPlatitudinous
Panegyric of Personal Pretensions
at Present Propounding Political Pur-
ity.

the most of mankind if such thor

The fact is Miss French virtually

the rather blunt announcement that
consider your hospitality superb,
your entertainment delightful, and
myself most deeply honored by
your invitation. |
take it for granted that Silver City,
with all its sparkling wits and sea-

Deming for entertainment--you
want facts concerning specific sub.

better boosting spirit, or a more
