FLOOD WORK STILL
GOES ON IN OHIO
Will Keep Up for Many Months,
Says E. S. Martin, lust Back
From District.

The work of the Ohio Flood Relief
Commission and the American Red
Cross will not be completed for many
months, is the declaration Of E. 3.
Martin, who has just returned from that
district. Mr.. Martin was sent to the
Ohio food district by the Commissioners
to have charge Of certain phases Of the
reclamation" work following the sub
sidence Of the flood. He left Washing
ton April and has spent nearly two
months looking over conditions in the
flooded district and learning what is
necessary to bring about. as far as
possible, a condition similar to that
before the disaster occurred.
''The great work Of the Relief Com
mission is that which followed the
food" Mr.. Martin says. Conditions
were terrible. In some cases whole
covered with gravel. roads were de-
stroyed. fences washed away and
houses, Of course, in many cases en-
tirely ruined"
Aided in New Start.
Following the relief OF Immediate
necessities like supplying clothes and
food, 1t became necessary to assist per-
sons to start over again. This has been
the great work Of the commission and
the Red Cross. Mr. Martin says. in
the case Of persons whose houses were
partially wrecked, their attention was
called to the loan societies which were
usually willing. he says, to assist in
rebuilding. Thousands were assisted by
the mere suggestion Of what might be
done, Mr.. Martin says, and others re-
quired very little help to set them to
work on the right tack"
The handicraftsmen. like carpenters.
were IN better shape than farmers. for
they were practically sure Of a good job
for months to come at their trade. in
rebuilding and repairing the wrecked
houses With stock gone, horses
drowned. fences washed away. and the
land covered with mud, or, worse still,
with gravel, the farmers in many cases
were in bad shape. It became necessary
to help these. Mr.. Martin says, and
they were loaned money on the security
Of their farms or houses, and shown
how they could place themselves above
want by some hard work.
All Over District.
Mr.. Martin travelled through prac-
tically the entire flood district. along
the Ohio river. the Miami. and other
streams affected. The appalling thing.
The Washington times., 1913-06-01

he says. is the fact that the thing may
occur again next spring unless the Gov
ernment takes a hand in providing for
the condition. The levees in many cases
are sadly weakened. and may have to
be renewed. Steps should be taken, he
says, to provide for the outlet of water
or n system that would provide for an
unexpected rise in the Ohio ana con-
fluent streams
Affairs are In pretty good condition
throughout the valley, and the farmers
are counting on good crops. If these
come. well and good. says Mr.. Martin.
If they fail. there will be great distress
That is what l mean by saying the
work of the societies Is not vet finished.
The condition in the district must be
watched. IT is likely that many farmers
who are now able to get along, espe-
claily II the seasons crops are large, in
the event of failure on their farms. may
he hopelessly overwhelmed and be ,om.
PEELED to ask assistance. The unfortu-
nate feature of this, Mr.. Martin thinks,
is that the ones who are taking the
most chances are the best class of
farmers. Most Of the poorer ones have
been assisted and provided for. Many
of the better ones were determined TO
work out their own salvation. and have
taken wide chances. 1t seems A pity
they should not be carefully watched
and the proper hint or assistance given
at the psychological moment"
Praises Boy Scouts.
Mr. Martin praises the work Of the
Boy Scouts. many Of whom took part In
the relief work. Much of the work was
too heavy for them. however. and the
militia had to be used for this work
High commendation Is given of the
Washington Scouts. for. he says, I'm
spite of the splendid work done by the
boys wherever have been. 1t has sell
dom equaled and never excelled that
done by the boys here Of a similar
kind"

the flooded district is especially inter-
esting. Owing to the conditions Of
transportation he was compelled to 60

tomobile. electric car, steam car. "or

Evening Sun Writer Says the Two
Rival Cities Are Represented
By Strong Teams.

The Paducah Sun of last evening
says.
The games yesterday seem to in
dictate that Paducah and Cairo are
represented by strong clubs in the

to Clarksville yesterday, but the

of the best side-wheelers in the

are developing some good team

son practically without signals, and
now each day the play of the club
