Cairo Drainage District Presents
Unpleasant Sight as Result
of Last Flood.
FUTURE CITY is STRICKEN
AS Never Before and Bringing Order
Out of Chaos Seems Nearly
Impossible.

A month ago the Drainage Dis
trict was well disposed community.
The people out there had recovered
from the effects of last years Inun-
dation; many or the farmers were
looking forward to a spring crop:
Future City inhabitant had moved
back and rehabilitation was evident
throughout the village; the indus
tries were humming with life, daily

tirety, has left in its wake ruin,
desolation and general uncheerful-

Through the courtesy of julius
Serbian. one of the road commits
sioners of district No. represen-
tative of The Bulletin was driven
through various sections of the
Drainage District yesterday after
noon to get some definite idea of
the damage wrought by the high
water.
The paved portion Of Sycamore
street which terminates at the city
limits near the Chicago Mill en-
trance is covered with mud several
inches thick and over the surface
lies a mass of lumber, trees and
wreckage. City Jailer Lutz has a
number of men cleaning up this
!, portion for traffic. 1t will take a
week or more to clean up the pave
ment thoroughly.
| When the big lumber shed of the
Chicago Mill that stood on the
grounds on the east side of the road
was wrecked last spring by the high
water. large and much better con-
structed shed was built on the west
side of the road.
SO great was the force of the
water this time that this huge struc-
ture, constructed of iron, wood and
tin, was carried from its concrete
foundation SO feet north of its origi-
nal location and about 10 feet west.
Great damage resulted to the build
/ ing and to its contents which con-
sisted of large supply of box ends
of the finest quality. Yesterday a
force of men was busy washing the
mud from this lumber in hopes Of
saving some of it for salvage. The
company also had many of its work
men busy in the main plant getting
the machinery in trim for operation
Future City presents an unpleas-
ant sight. House after house stand
ing in every conceivable shape,
some twisted masses OF wreckage,
few of them entirely intact COM
poses a collection OF ruin of what
represented the savings and toll OF
many a luckless inhabitant,
From this picture of desolation OF
the place, it seems that Future city
can never be rehabilitated. The
damage is far greater than last year,
and it seems impossible that any
thing like order can be brought out
of the chaos.
From the conditions existin
with reference to the roadhed and
tracks OF the interurban, Ii IS hardly
probable that the line can be put

Some seasons it is the waist; others.

this fall it is the skirt that gives the
date line TO the costume. The most
marked changes in the styles. as ex-
plotted at the openings OF the coutur-
iers in Paris, have taken place in the
skirts. These changes were not uncx-
pcctod; they had already been herald
ed by the nouncs which had been ex-
tensivcly worn at the French race
courses, and by the TUNES, for the
wired tunic had been hailed as a nov
city long before it was launched al
the dressmakcrs exhibitions. They
sanctioned 1t, rather than originated
1t, as in the usual method of procc-
dure.
