CITIZENS ISSUE
 APPEAL FOR AID
HELP NEEDED IN CARING
 FOR THE NEEDY
Conditions Such in Territory
 Surrounding Newark That Outside Assistance Necessary

Conditions are such among many of the people who lost everything in the recent flood that it was deemed advisable to start a fund fof the relief of the flood sufferers.
 Many people who lived in the overfloWed districtsouth and east of Newark lost not only their crops but everything they possessed.
 The citizens of Nwark have been doing all they could to relieve the situation, and for some time it was thought that they would be able to furnish all the assistance needed. It was found several days ago, however, that the burden would be too great and a meet ing was called Monday after noon to discuss the situation and see what should be done.
 It was decided to ask for outside assistance and the fol- lowing committee was chosen to take charge of the relief work and were instructed to ask for aid. The committee is eompos- ed of J. B. Ketchem, chairman; F. C. Hoyt, secretary; J. H. Holderby, c. NJ. Edwards and G. M. Fields.
 The following appeal for aid was issued by the committee.

DESOLATE SPECTACLE
 NOW GREETS THE EYE IN FAMOUS BIG BOTTO TOM

Hate spectacle of wreck and ruin wrought by the flood.
 In4 addition to the damage to crops, some of the land is badly damaged as the result of washes and sand-drifts from the river. One of the peculiar freaks of the flood is shown on the Stowman farm on Pad gett Island. Near the upper end of this farm, which Is one ofthe most productive in this section, the current of the high water cut a hole about 150 feet wide and 400 feet long to depth of about 20 feet. Many other farms are badly washed and on some farms the overflow left drifts of sand two to four feet deep covering an area of sev- eral acres.
 This country has experience ed many oyerflows, but he one of August, 1915 will go down in local history as the most de- structive that ever visited this section.

AN APPEAL IN BEHALF OF STRICKEN AND DESTI-
 TUTE HUMANITY

The recent unprecedented floods, which entirely wiped Iout all crops along White and Black rivers, has left hundreds of people homeless and desti- ute.
 It is estimated that 100000 acres of land under cultivation along White and Black rivers, contiguous to Newark, has been completely denuded of every vestige of growing crops. Hun dreds of people lost not only their teams, farming tools, household goods and wearing apparel, but barely escaped with their lives.
 Many of these people are in dire distress and are going to suffer unless they getIM MEDI- ATE ASSISTANCE.
 The situation with regard to the people of Newark is crit ical in many instances, but Newark is amply able to take care of the needs of her own people, and it was thought for some time that Newark would be able to furnish all the as- Isistance necessary for the peo- Iple of the surrounding country.
 But as the true situation comes to light, revealing the fact that hundreds and hun dreds of people are ABSO- ILUTELY DESTITUTE, New ark realizes that she is face to face with distressing situa- tion that is entirely too big for our people to handle without outside assistance.
 WE NEED HELP TO TAKE CARE OF THESE STRICKEN PEOPLE. It is the distress cry of humanity. We have done all we can do, and we cannot long CT stand helplessly by, after having done everything we car do. and see these people suffer No assistance has been asked and none received up to this time but at a public meeting held in Newark today the un, dersigned were appointed re. lief committee and instructed

A steam shovel has been put to work at the old gravel pit just west of town taking out gravel to be used in repairing the washout which occurred on the main line of the Iron Mountain just north of New port. About 200 feet of tn high dump was entirely washed out and a temporary trestle had to be built across the break.

WHITE RIVER OVERFLOW MAKES CLEAN SWEEP
Water Recedes From Farming Lands and Leaves Sickening Spectacle of Wreck and Ruin

Immense fields of the finest farming lands in the famous Big Bottom and Oil Trough val leys, on which only a few days ago were growing the most magnificent crops of Cotton, corn and alfalfa that were ever grown in> Independence county, today present sick ening spectacle as a result of the recent flood.
 Fine fields of cotton that promised yields of a bale per acre are now blackened and dead,every vestige of foliage, bolls and squares having falll- en from the stalks.
 Corn that would have pro- duced 50 to 65 bushels per acre now lies twisted and tangled mass, and the immense ears of corn souring, are throw ing off an odor that is sicken- ing.
 Only few small fields f alfalfa hara and tharn show any signs of life. Immense areas of the finest alfalfa mea- dows are now blackened and dead and farmers say it will have to be turned under.
 The water has receded until all the farming lands are now dry, and it makes one heart sick to drive over over this fer tile valley and view the deso-

 Much of the repair work done has necessarily been of a temporary nature and it is said that it will take at least 30 days more to put the road in as good as condition as it was before the flood.

THROUGH TRAINS
 AGAIN RUNNING
First Through Train Over White River Road Since Aug.
 Is Made Trip Last Tuesday

Passenger train No. 209 go- ing east Tuesday was the first train to make the through trir from Jolin to Newport oyer the Whie river road since the big flood, two weeks ago.
 Railroad service on the NV hite river division has been completely demoralized for two weeks. For several days it was impossible 10 run trains Iof any kind over the road, be- |eause of washouts and the track being under water at many places. From point d short distance west of Newark there was a stretch of track ex- tending eastward for at least seven miles that was entirely under water excepting for little spots here and there, one of these being here at Newark another the high bluff bank just this side of Black river near Paroquet.
 As soon as the water began Ito reeede the railroad company put a large number of extra gangs to work repairing the track, and u is said that at one time there were about 12 ex- tra gangs at work between Cot ter and Diaz. 1t is reported that 19 trestles were washed out between this place and Cotter. The worst washout occurred at Calico Rock where a long tres le spanning deep. mountain stream was swept away. Since the flood, passengers, mail and express have been tranferred at that point. The work of build ing temporary structure a. cross this stream was complet- ed Tuesday and No. 209 was the first train to pass over it.
 Rapid progress has been made in repairing the road and it has been placed in con- dition for through traffic much earlier than was expected. When the extent of the dam ages became known just after the flood, it was thought that through traffic could not be re- .sumed for at least three weeks,
 The last through train from Joplin to Newport was on the 18th of August, trains on the 18th being tied up by wash outs and landslides from the big rains that caused the over flow. The next through train

SAILORS WIN IN HARD
FIGHT WITH SEA-STORM

Los ANGELES. Cal, May 4.-wal-
lowing along behind the steamer
Yucatan which picked her up off
Point Arguello yesterday, the power
vessel Archer reached port battered
and waterlogged by the recent gale
and with her crew of 16 men exhaust
ed from three days and nights Of ball
ing with buckets, Mark Moore, the
steward of the vessel, was washed
overheard by a comber that leaped
aboard last Thursday, smashed all
the small boats and flooded the en-
gine room and all compartments save
the forward hold.
The Archer was bound from Pu-
get Sound ports, laden with lumber
for New York. She was disabled by
the gale April 20, and remained help
less flying signals of distress until
picked up by the Yucatan. Engine
and pumps were out OF commission,
and the crew turned to with buckets
to free the holds Of water.
Captain Charles Poindexter, com

PARIS. May 4.-(By Mali to New
York. Practically a universal de-
mand has just gone up in French
sporting circles for the re-opening
this spring OF all the leading French
race courses, LOngchamp, Auteuil,
Chantilly, Masion-NaPitte and Desu-
vile, it is insisted, should at least be
reopened at the leading events such
as the Grand Prix, the Derby. the
Diane and the Grand Criterium
should be run.
Backers of the movement insist
that not only would the re-opening OF
the race courses fail to. represent any
inharmonious contrast with the great
struggle in which France is engaged,
but they insist that the struggle itself
has made the re-opening OF the cours-
es all the more imperative. Count
less thousands OF the best horses OF
France have already been killed in
the war, they point out. Thousands

tive that France should not allow to
lapse for single instant her efforts
at improving the breeding of horses.
With the close of the war, France
viii have greater need than ever be-
fore for rearing the best horses pos
sible.
Aside from this phase of the ques-
tion, the track element insists that as
racing has not been abandoned in
England on account of the war there
is no reason why ii should be dropped
in France. They also insist that the
French race tracks constitute an es-
sential element in the Industrial life
of France. It is at the meets, they
point out that the great millinery es-
tablishments of the Rue de la Paix
show to the world their new creations
These establishments have more
need than ever this year of this op-
portunity, and the sportsmen insist
the tracks must open. 1t seems like
ly also that their arguments will win.
