Especial Dispatch to The CALI
COLUMBUS. O.. March 27.-It is the
consensus of opinion that the property
loss in Ohio will exceed that sustained
by San Francisco in 1906. This ap-
parently incredible statement is easily
understood when the widespread de-
struction to railroad property is call
culated 1t is safe to assume that
more than half the large railroad
bridges in Ohio are down.
The waters are receding at Dayton,
Piqua, GAINESVILLE, Fremont, Tiffin,
Chillicothe, Hamilton. Middletown and
Columbus, and while the cold weather
which came late last night was well
come because of the certain deterrent
effect it would have on the rising tide,
the pinch of the cold adds to our diff

people are homeless Besides. the fall

tragedy of the whole situation.
We ought to know tomorrow approx
imately what the loss OF life has been.

western part of Columbus is completely

We were more than anxious to
know whether they would get through.
but very early reports came from
Springfield that the troops were pass

militia with boats were drawing close
to Dayton, and that the rugged heroes
