Passina of old Houaes.

Riders and walkers through the
New England countryside and villages
learn to look for the venerable houses.
many OF them centenarians twice
over, which not only distinguish this
region, but fit into its landscapes with
suitability which newer buildings
somehow lack. AS this interest grows
the observer begins to notice that
they are all too rapidly disappearing
to give place to modern houses which
are certainly no Improvement In work
manship and architectural design. and
not necessarily superior in comfort
and convenience If the old houses are
properly handled. In losing these an
cient buildings we are losing not only
parcels of history. We are losing
quite MS much a dignified and fitting
style OF domestic architecture which
Is all the more effective by being se-
yerely plain. -Bostn Transcript.

A Real Flood

The nearest approach to u real
cloudburst that this section has ex-
perienced was the rain of Friday
night For three hours perfect tor
rent kept up, beginning at about 6:30,
lasting until about $3.50 p. m. The
rain came from northWesterly di-
rection and seems to have been gen.
era over all this section of the state.
Telephone and telegraph connections
were put out of commission and the
Northern Pacific track so badly
damaged that there has been no
train service since.
II was just year ago that Linton
and vicinity experienced like food
and much damage was done by
flooding of easements. This year
there was more water, although ii
did not come quite so fast, the rain
year ago lasting but an hour. Two
hours after the rain began this year
many easements were flooded and
men were working like beavers get
ting perishahle goods to higher
place and safety. The damage was
light for the reason that there was
ample time to protect property.
while the storm of two years ago
came at later hour when it was
impossible to save anything.
The Matt Lipp place on North
Broadway. the Record Office, Bech-
ties store. and number of other
business houses suffered and many
residences were completely sur
rounded by water. The railroad
grade just north of town gave way
during the heighth of the storm and
the old town was quickly submerged
into a small lake. The track south
of the depot also gave way and then
the uptown district was relieved.
The railroad company suffered the
most damage this year, washouts all
along the acknowledgements line be-
ing reported as well as ON the main
line just east of Braddock.
A claim agent for the n. P. had
beenin Linton adjusting the claim
of Chas. Porter for his recent acci-
dent and was making his way back
to the main line the next day after
the storm. While attempting to
cross one of the washouts north Of
Hazelton the ties gave way and he
sustained fall of some twenty feet.
He was injured internally and suf-
fered several broken ribs. He was
taken to Mckenzie.
Traffic north is completely at a
standstill and all north mail has
been held. A. u Cell came to Lin
ton Monday night with the Hazelton
mail and sent east mail from here.
Postmaster Hardt was down from
TernYik also and got the mail for
that town. the first since thestorm.i
The rail-, has continued intermit-I
tently ever since the gsfood and
auto travel has been most difficult.
