LOSSES FROM THE FLOODS

The Rock Island was a heavy sufferer
from the floods and the damage is not
yet repaired. The first damage came
when a section Of the track washed out
near Nara Visa, No. l was passing over
the track when IL commenced to give
way. The train was cut in two and the
engine and two cars proceeded TO Nara
Visa where word was wired to Dalhart
about the predicament. This was re-
paired and trains were running west by
Sunday. The great loss occurred east
when the bridge over the Beaver in
Oklahoma and the two Arkalon bridges
went out. No trains were able TO cross
the Beaver until yester .ay morning and
II will be n day or two before trains
will be crossing the Cimarron at Arka.
lon. The whole Cimarron valley was
one big river hree.fourths Of n mile
wide and twenty-five feet deep. The
Rock Island dump between the two
bridges was swept clean. 4 section
man lost his life by drowning Tuesday
while al work NJ Arkalon. and Wednes
day the bodies Of four people were tax.
on from the water by the work crews
They were supposed to have com from
twenty miles up the river.
Like the Rock Island the Denver had
trouble on both sides Of Dalhart and for
a time the town was cut OF from COM
munication each way. North Of Dial
hart several hundred feet Of Denver
roadway washed out. The Canadian
river bridge went cut as usual at flood
time. some sixty spans this time. The
bridge was rebuilt md trains running
by Wednesday night. Denver trains
were detoured over the Rock Island
via Tucumcari 10 Amarillo.
Rock Island through freights were
operated over the Santa Fe while local
trains were operated from Guymon on
west. The Denver only operated one
through train each day via Tucumcari
and turned No. 8 back here as No. 7.
Hartley county lost the steel bridge
across Rita Blanca canyon south Of
town and the steel bridge across Chey-
enne draw three miles east Of Chen.
ming. Commissioner MacArnary had FIVE
teams at work Wednesday along the
canyon picking up the remains of the
bridge and hauling them back 10 the
old stand.
Dallam county lost the cement road
way recently constructed across Perico
draw and which was thought i%nvinci.
BILE. The water pouring under the rail
way bridge plowed into the sand and
undermined the roadway. It's great
weight caused il to sag and break and
then the damage was done. Big slabs
Of concrete were seen half a mile below
the road.
The wagon bridge north Of Amarillo
over the Canadian went out Friday.
This is the first time this bridge was
ever effected by flood waters. A bond
election win probably be held and steel
structure put in by Potter county. A
temporary structure will do service for
the present. This bridge is an absolute
necessity IL the Colorado to Gulf route

Some time ago 1 wrote you about
my little boy, Clarence, five years Of
age. He was troubled with his ears.
They were very sensitive to the touch
and he was quite deaf at times. He
seemed to be worse after catching
cold. I had taken him to doctors, but
they did not seem to be able to relieve
him, and was very much afraid he
would lose his hearing entirely. He
was getting more deaf every day.

prescribed Peruna. I began giving it

Many diseases are caused by taking
cold. A cold is very likely to settle
in the nose, causing nasal catarrh.

throat, called the nasal pharyngeal

tubes. called eustachian tubes, that
