The Storm Catastrophe.

The past week or ten day:
have proven a period of singular
and appalling calamity, to a great
section of the country. A series
OF storms have wrought havoc in
many portions of the Central
West and South, eliminating
with the terrible floods that have
overwhelmed Dayton, Ohio, and
a number of other places in that
state and in the neighbOring
State of Indiana. The frightful
destruction at Dayton, as we'll as
in the other cities and towns dew
astated, was caused by heavy
storms of wind and rain, followed
by the bursting of dams and
reservoirs, which caused the
rivers adjacent to these places to
break their banks and cover the
country under from fifteen to
twenty feet of water.
In Dayton, where the most
serious loss of life and property
occurred, the disaster is the
worst this country has experien-
ced since the destruction of Gal
weston, in 1900. AS yet it is not
known just how many persons
lost their lives, nor will the full
extent of the obstruction be ap-
parent until the water has reced.
ed and the work of destruction,
which was still in progress Thurs.
day, has ended. That many
thousands have been killed in
collapsed buildings, drowned in
the food or burned to death in
their wrecked homes is certain.
The survivors are still exposed to
the fury of the elements and are
suffering from exposure, lack of
food and proper drinking water,
and the homeless and destitute
will need succOr for some time
to come.
President Wilson, in promptly
offering Federal aid to the strlck-
districts, has voiced the senti-
ments of the entire American
people, who can be counted on to
respond as generously to the ag-
onized appeals of the stricken
people as they did iu the time of
the Galveston horror and when
San Francisco was wrecked and
burned as a result of an earth.
quake some years ago. 1t is ev-
ident from the accounts of the
disaster TO far received that
many thousands of people have
been rendered homeless and en-
tirely destitute and the local
supplies of provisions have been
destroyed by food or fire. 1t
will, therefore, be necessary to
rush large supplies of necessaries
to the stricken district without
delay.
In the presence of such an ap-
palling disaster, against which
all human agencies and foresight
were useless, the sympathy of
the entire people of the United
States will go out to the poor I'M
fortunates who have lost their all
and who survive in the midst of
the thousands of relatives and
friends who have been swallowed
up in the cataclysm :. which has
overtaken their section. They
are entitled to every aid that q
generous nation can give them.
Those who have escaped flood and
fire now face pestilance and num-
erous hardships before normal
conditions can be restored, no

Newapanar Errnrn.

Newspaper readers are sometimes
aStonished by mistakes on the part
OF reporters. Consider, for instance,
the surprise of the readers of a cor
tain staid daily some years ago when
they learned that a public man had
the night before solemnly announced
that "All reforms IN this country have
been brought about by Prussia" The
word the great man had really used
was pressure" not Prussia" SO, too,
considerable establishment was caused
when "curates" instead of pew rates"
were reported to be "the greatest en-
omies of the church."

OCEAN LEV|ATHANS

The first attempt to provide
transatlantic travellers with a ves-
sci that in size and magnificence
would he veritable floating hotel
was made in the building of the
Great Eastern. The launching of
this great ship, for sometime call
ed the Leviathan, was commenced
fifty-six years ago, Nov. 2, 1857,
but owing to the difficulty of-mov-
ing the enormous weight, the YES
sci was not finally afoat until ear
ly in 1858.
The secret of managing so large
liner had not yet been learned
and the Great Eastern was from
the first white elephant to her
owners. Her only real service was
in the laying of Atlantic cables.
She made her last voyage twenty
five years ago, and was then sold
for $4,000, broken up and dispos-
ed of as junk. The failure of the
Great Eastern put q stop to such
experiments for many years and
1t was not until 1901 that another
vessel as long as the Great Eastern
was built. The pioneer Leviathan
had d length of 692 feet and ton
mage of $4,000.
These figures have been surpass-
ed by the Mauretania, Lusitana, La
France, imperator, George Wash-
ington, Olympic, the ill-fated Tt
tanic, and by several vessels now
building.

TAKE NOTICE

Until the voters of Nevada elect
sound citizens to represent them IN
the legislature, we can expect to
see the need for tax commissions
and the like, while the taxpayers
are obliged to pay the freight.
Some counties are represented by
good men while others are sadly
lacking in essential qualification
that would tend to create laws for
the betterment of the state. The
next legislature could do we'll by
abolishing some of the useless COM
missions and thus stop the extrava-
CANT waste of state iuuds. High
taxes will retard the gr owth of the
states resources more than any
other agency. Record Courier.
