Floods in the Ohio river from its
mouth to Marietta, Ohio, due to the
great volume of water poured into
it during the past week by its trib-
utaries, have caused thousands of
people to leave the lowlands and
seek refuge on higher ground.
The water is still rising, and at
every city along the river heavy
damage to property is reported,
Railroad traffic has been impaired
and many miles of track washed
out.
In Illinois, Gov. Dunno has or
dered 1900 State troops to proceed
by special trains to Cairo and Shaw
neetown for the purpose of patroll-
ing the levees. Hundreds of labor
ers also have been sent to pile sacks
of sand on the levees.
Reports from Henderson, Owens
boro. Louisville. Newport and Cow
ington, KY, Evansville, Ind, Gin
cinnatt, Portsmouth, Marietta, o.,
Huntington and Petersburg, w.
Va, show that stocks of goods in
buildings near the river have suf-
fered heavily and that the damage
will run into the millions. There
has been no loss OF life at any of
these points.
A telephone message from Cairo.

holding and that the town was in
less danger than was believed. The
water was still several feet below

FORMER PRINTER
SELF-TAUGHT is
FAMOUS ARTIST

From an illustrated page story
published in the Indianapolis Star
of February End we quote the fol
lowing concerning the success of a
former San Luis Valley editor and
printer:
From a sod house and privation
in South Dakota to a comfortable
home and recognition as an artist
is the road travelled in a brief span
of years by William A. Bixler of
Anderson, Ind.
1.-The work of the printer calls
for men of brains as we'll as sense
of the artistic and it may be that
this is the reason Mr.. Bixler turned
to the printers trade when he was
old enough to earn his living. At
any rate the early years of the
artists life were spent at the
cases.
"Not long ago Mr.. Bixler went
on a visit to Greenfield, Ind, the
old home of James Whitcomb
Riley. While there he expressed
a lively interest in the old land
marks of the town. He visited the
old Riley home on Main street and
spent days wandering along the
banks of the Brandywine. With
one of the old residents of the
town he visited the swimming hole
made famous by Mr.. Riley. From
descriptions as tc how the spot
looked when Riley rambled through
the woods and from what is left of
the hallowed spot, Mr.. Bixler be-
gan work on painting. This work
was placed on exhibition at Green
field and was commented on SO
favorably that the artist decided
to present it to Mr.. Riley. He was
surprised one morning to receive
the following letter:
Dear Mr.. Bixler-Mr Riley is
delighted with your excellent oil
painting of the Old Swimmin'
Hole. He wants me to tell you
how pleased he is with it, how it
brings back the old days, and how
more than grateful he holds him
self to you. He is sending you TO-
day six volumes of his verses for
your six children and he hopes
they will give you and them the
kind of pleasure you have given
him. Very sincerely yours,
EDMOND II. EITEL.
This message was the first rea
encouragement the artist had re
ceived from so eminent a source
The children referred to are hi
'stairsteps. Mr.. Bixler is rearing
family Of charming youngster
and they are dearer to him thar
his art.
"The young artist is now livinl
in Anderson, Ind, and his lif
story is like a page of romance

The hills around Blanca are
showing up better in ore with each
blast. The Thompson mine, where
all eyes are focused at present, is
sure producer, according to the
men who have an option on the
property. The vein has not yet
been entirely exposed and it is be-
lieved that another thirty feet will
be necessary to find the hanging
wall. This will make the vein 80
feet wide, with good prospect Of
the richest ore yet to be uncovered.
Three assays sent to Denver last
week gave returns of 40 cents,
S64 so and S2S.SO. Considering
that this is possibly the biggest
ore body ever found in the state of
Colorado, these values are excep-
tional 1t will probably take an
other three weeks to get to the
hanging wall and then an estimate
of the mine can be made. In the
meantime there is no use for any,
one to go to the district with the
hope of stalking a claim, as the
snow is heavy on the ground and
all sections look alike. The trail
from the Caldwell ranch is covered
with snow and is almost impossi-

other settlers and began struggle
for existence.
"When IL years of age young
Bixler was confronted with the
problem of earning his way. He
concluded that he was too old a
boy to sit around drawing pictures
while his parents were fighting for
an existence. His artistic temper
ament led him to choose the print
er's trade. He was apprenticed
and began profession that he fol-
lowed for fifteen years. His time
was almost all taken at the cases.
He cultivated his artistic sense at
job and press work and became SO
apt that he began to design book
covers. He was beginning at last
to realize on his art work. Odd
moments were always spent with
his pencil. He made sketches for
pamphlets and calendars and won
a local reputation in the small
Illinois town. This led to pen
work and finally he began to pro-
duce wash drawings. In handling
this work and in water colors he
acquired a taste for oil work.
"Then came the first great pas
sion of his life. He fell in love
with Colorado girl who had Wis
tied at the old home. He went to
Monte Vista to visit her and his
marriage followed. After his mar
riage Mr.. Bixler spent several
years in Colorado. He loved the
mountains and the sky harmonies
taught him many lessons"
Mrs. Bixler was formerly Miss
Lillian Garmire and at one time
was employed on the JOURNAL as
compositor. She resigned her po-
sition to become the bride of Mr.
Bixler and the couple removed to
Center where Mr.. Bixler conducted
the Dispatch for some time.
