OPERATOR LAUDED AS A HERO
BY hssocidtsd Press

Cumberland. Nd. Jan. is. Re-
assured that the worst OF the flood
which swept down the Stony creek
and upper Potomac valleys yesterday
as result of the breaking of the
great dam of the West Virginia Pulp
and Paper Company at Dobbin.
w. Va, is over, tho hundreds of
refugees who fed to the hills upon the
first warning began to return to their
homes early to-day The valley is
getting itself together and counting
the damage from the food. Although
thousands of persons We're imperilled
no lives were lost so far as has been
ascertained. There were, however re-
ports of many thrilling rescues. 1t is
believed that the prompt action of the
pulp and paper company's employees
in sending out warning of impending
danger throughout the valley enabled
all in the danger zone to escape
1t probably will be several days be-
fore anything like an accurate esti-
mate of the damage to property can
be obtained, but officials here fix 1t at
about 100000. With telephone and
telegraph communication re-estab-
lished, definite estimates of the loss
soon may be had. The greatest dam
age was to railroad property
Operator is Safe
The telegraph operator at Schell is
being lauded to-day as a hero. He
stuck to his post until he heard the
noise of the onrusbing water, flashing
a warning in all directions. 1t was
feared he had been lost. but he turned
Zip safe at Cumberland later in the
day.
No damage was done by the rising
waters at Piedmont. w. Va, the larg-
est place in the line of the flood, and
the people there who had ded to
higher ground returned to their homes
early In the night.
Hundreds of laborers are at wori;
restoring the washed-out tracks and
embankments of the Western Mary
land Railway, which suffered severe
damage to its West Virginia division
1t is expected that traffic will be re-
sumed on that stretch of road to-
morrow.
The Potomac at Cumberland did not
rise more than four feet.
