while the city has been severely

some extracts from his letter which
will be of interest,"
A Terrible Flood.
"This certainly was a terrible food
but the Bronsons were high and dry.
We live in Davtonview and were well
up above the high water mark. The
food came during Monday night and
early Tuesday morning, so, you see,

not yet at school; anyhow his school

Walter Matthews and myself, were
ducked and lost our boat the first day
Of the food, in the most dangerous
flood section. We caught in a small
tree just as the current was taking
us out into the river. We caught the
last tree we could have gotten and
hung there for three hours until a
boat was let out to us with a rope
from the attic of a house, then the
boat was pulled in with a rope. No
boat could have rowed to us.

First in $50 Years.
dayton has been in existence for
$50 years and this is the first time
it has been under water-that is
nine-tenths of the section flooded
this time has never been under water
before; so you see there is not much
danger Of its ever happening again.
OF course there are some sections of
the town, like all others. that oecas-
ionally are under water.

as newspapers first said. 1t will be
rebuilt, or rather repaired within
year and be a better town than ever,
like San Francisco. The lives lost
will probably not exceed 200-only
129 have been reported so far. The
property loss has been heavy, but ev-
erybody is going right ahead, and
will soon replace their loss by doing
more business than ever.

With Total of 13 Deaths and q
Births, Average for Month Is
Declared Good.

That the mortality rate for Polk
county for the month of March is
slightly more than the average, and
exceeds the usual percentage in rela-
tion to births, is the statement of
County Health Officer DR.. b. II. Nc
Gallon. This is attributed to the fact
that the month of March usually has
one of the highest death rates Of the
year. This is the time of year when
ones system is more susceptible to
disease, and the sudden changes pc
culiar to the spring season also add to
the general unhealthfulness Of the
month
For the month of March there were
13 deaths in the county and 2l births.
