MORE WATER IN RESERVOIRS.
Conditions Somewhat Improved by the
Heavy Rainfall

Yesterdays heavy rain had an eneour-
aging-effect on the water situation, and
this morning when Supt. H. +. Reynolds
and his men visited the reservoir at
Orange a gain of 10 inches over yes
terday's registration was noted. To-day
the water stood at Is feet. 3 inches.
The supply at that source will continue
to increase for several days, it is eX-
pected, even though the weather con
tinue rainless. The same is true OF
the basin at the Martin brook and the
Bolster reservoir.
In the latter source it was estimated
to-day that the water has risen at least
two feet since yesterday. The present
supply at the Bolster basin is not the
water pumped thereto from the Gale
branch in the trying days OF the drouth.
The emergency supply was diverted to
the manufacturing plants just before
the heavy rains of early last week.
Superintendent Reynolds states that
an effort will be made to give the city
mains a thorough cleansing within a
few days. If the conditions continue
favorable. the mains viii be flooded on
the morning of Sunday. October y.
This process, although not new and one
commonly practieed in normal seasons,
will have an unusually clarifying effect
on the water. as it has been many
months since circumstances enabled the
water department to attempt such a
cleanup.

TEXAS STREAMS FALLING.
Floods Are Subsiding and Danger /,
Passed.

Dallas, Tex, Oct. 3.-Flood conditions
in southeastern and southwestern Texas
and western Louisiana showed improve
ment with the cessation of the rain in
some sections yesterday. Most of the
streams which have been out of bounds
have ceased rising and at San Antonio
the river began to fall as unexpectedly
as it rose. From the interior came en-
couraging reports that streams were
falling, and several days of fair wealth
er, it is believed, would relieve cond.
tions greatly.
1t is in the rice fields of eastern Texas
and western Louisiana that the heaviest
loss will be felt. Near Lake Charles.
La, it is estimated that $4,000 acres
have been flooded, entailing serious dam
age. Railroads have been washed away
and thousands of yards of tracks de-
stroyed. Connection with the East is
still interrupted.
Improvement was made in telegraph
and telephone communication but nor
mai conditions have not been restored.
The lumber industry has sustained heavy
damage in the loss in production and
damage to plants. Despite the large
area flooded in popular sections, only
eight persons are known 20 have been
drowned,

MILK PRICES GO UP.
Rutland Consumers May be Asked to
Pay Eight Cents.

Rutland, Oct. 2.-As result OF the
meeting Of majority of the milk pro.
ducers about Rutland, held at the Ho.
tel Bardwell, the price of milk will be
advanced to the dealers and this will
mean an immediate increase to the con
sumers. The dealers in the city were
notified yesterday of the plans of the
producers and letter has been sent
around signed by more than 80 Of the
farmers in this vicinity. In speaking oi
this increase in the cost of living, a pro-
prietor of one of the ereameries in this
city said:
THE price of milk at present is six
cents at the creamery and seven cents
on the cart. If this new schedule goes
into effect, the prices will be seven cents
at the creamery and eight cents on the
cart. We have been paying $1.75 a hun
dred and after October 10 will have to
pay 81 per hundred. The dealers real
ize that the farmer has had more or less
OF a hard season, with the early frosts
and numerous dry spells, but evidently
they have failed TO take into considera-
tion that we have been paying them 10
and 20 cents more a hundred during the
summer when shippers maintain low
price. The quantity of shipments is the
one thing, in my mind, that is the cause
of the raise in the local market

panies are now paying Sl,s5 hundred.
