BAYOU A TORRENT

There Is the biggest body OF water
that has come down Mineral Bayou in
ten years." said one of the city's old
timers who stood on the Katy bridge
across the bayou Thursday afternoon
and saw the torrent of water from six
TO twenty feet deep and from a block
to 300 yards in width rush down the
bayou. as a result of the heavy four
and half inch rains of Thursday and
Wednesday night. The ordinarily
small stream. entirely dry in dry sea-
sons. presented the appearance of a
large river, out of banks, rushing
swiftly and carrying driftwood and all
manner Of debris with it and flooding
all the low lands adjoining the bayou
on 10Th sides.
The home Of A. ]. Stanifer. between
Mill and Katy avenues south of Ala
bama street, which is on the edge OF
the bayou. was flooded with three aud
half feet of water. portion of the
furniture being submerged before it
could be removed. When the water
was first noticed coming into the
house. there was not time to go out
the door. leading toward the BAYOU.
and II wos necessary to knock several
boards off OF the uphill side OF the
house in order for the family to es-
cape and to carry out what portion OF
the furniture which was gotten out.
Mr.. Stanifer told a reporter that he
had built the house on the bayou as a
temporary headquarters until he could
erect a suitable home on higher
ground. He had no idea, he said. that
the water would ever get high enough
to come into his house, and when the
water commenced rising high before
noon yesterday. the family thought
nothing of 1t and prepared dinner as
usual. but had only finished the meal
when they we're forced to leave Il
keep from being caught in TIE swiftly
rising flood.
. The water reached high stage about
four o'clock Thursday afternoon. after
which il steadily fell at the rate ol
about two to three inches an hour.

KATY FREIGHT WRECK

AS the result of a pulled drawhead
en- the fourth car behind the engine,
heavy Katy freight train was de-
rallied on the Mineral Bayou bridge
south of the oil mill at eleven o'clock
last Thursday, which resulted in
the entire destruction of four loaded
cars and all contents. with no fatali-
ties or injuries to the crew. and which
tied up traffic for several hours. A
wrecking crane was brought from
Denison, but on account of the loca-
ton of the wreck on the bridge, could
not be used. and an odd engine was
pressed into service pull the wreck
ed cars off of the track with the use
of cables.
The train was a fast freight and
running on the east track with sew
enty-eight cars. When about the cen
ter OF the bridge was reached. draw

hind the engine and fell on the rails,

ration process is not alone sufficient
to make a safe water at certain times
of the year. supplement the coagula-
ton and sedimentation by treating the
effluent with hypochlorite of lime. The
results of the use of hypochlorite of
lime have been very satisfactory.
believe that at a very low cost Durant
could add the hypochlorite to the fill
tration plant and have the safest
drinking water possible.
Now word to you who have not
city water and wish to remove the de-
leterious germs. Boiling the water is
ar efficient and a very satisfactory
method to use in the household. The
best and surest method of boiling is
to heat the water to scalding tenn
perature and let cool and then heat
to boiling temperature. You say that
the water tastes flat and you do not
like 1t for drinking purposes. Pour
1t back and forth from one vessel to
another and 1t will lose that flat taste,
that is, aerate 1t. / would advise you
to boil the water before drinking. The
safest and less inconvenient and most
efficient method, one than can be used
everywhere. is the use of chemical
hypochlorite of lime. Known on the
market as an ordinary bleaching pow
der, chloride of lime or calcium hipo-
chlorite. IL can be bought at any
drug store Now understand that II
will not replace the filtration process.
neither will it clear water. With
reasonably clear water. says DR.. Nc
Laughlin, from three to six tenths of
one part of available chlorine to one
million parts of water will destroy
germs like those of cholera, typhoid.
dystentary and the colon bacillus.
There Is about 33 percent available
chlorine in bleaching powder. so one
or two parts by weight of chloride per
million parts of water will be re-
quired. This is a very small quantity.
from one-sixteenth to one-eighth of a
grain per gallon, and may be consid-
cred perfectly harmless In this pro-
portion thoroughly mixed you will not
detect the chlorine either in taste OF
smell.
We who have had the dreaded dis
ease, typhoid, can appreciate any
movement that would tend to prevent
others from contagion. believe with
Franklin when he said, An ounce OF
prevention is worth pound OF cure

sition it was dragged clear of the
bridge and piled up into kindling

together with the three cars directly
following, which we're all demolished
as they left the tracks on the east
side. AS soon as possible the train
was stopped. which only prevented a
general smashup of all of the cars.
When the road master arrived on the
scene he ordered all of the broken
cars rolled into the bayou and burned.
but the rising water from the heavy
rains made q seething torrent of the
bayou and the men we're forced to
leave their work and get back on the
tracks and bridge above, where after
some difficulty the smashed cars were
rolled into the water. where they will
be burned when sufficiently dry. and
the water subsidies.
Large crowds of sightseers gathered
at the scene of the wreck. which re-
tarded the work of the wrecking crew.
In tine afternoon, an accident was
barely averted when an attempt was
made to pull a smashed car into the
bayou on the east side with use OF a
cable fastened on the car in rolling
hitch and pulled by the engine. The
car started to roll to the west, where
some two dozen people were standing,
and who could only have escaped by
jumping into the rushing waters be-
low. The engine stopped when. the
car had tilted considerably toward the
helpless people. Had the car contin-
ued its turning to the west, several
people would have been badly injured
II not killed.
Railroad men estimate the loss In
rolling stock at about $4,000 to the
luSI9IJ ol 95Bmep sSIBI qlIM &lBY

the tie up OF fast passenger trains.
