Asheville, N. C., August 13.-The
Lake Toxaway dam, weakened by the
recent floods, broke tonight, sending
great wall of water down the valley
toward Western South Carolina. No
lives thus far have been reported lost
and warnings sent out from several
cities are believed to have enabled
most OF the persons in the path Of the
flood to reach safety.
The lake, an artificial body Of water,
was created in 1902 by Eastern CAPT
talists. 1t covers $50 acres to an aver
age depth Of thirty feet The dam, an
eight OF mile long and fifty feet
high. was completely destroyed. The
town of Lake Toxaway suffered only
minor damage, though the lake was
completely drained.
The released waters tonight were
rushing through the Toxaway River
valley, comparatively uninhabitcd
section, towards the Chuga River, in
South Carolina. Anderson, Walhalla

Lake ToXaway came rushing Sunday
night like great tidal wave down the
narrow mountain gorgcs through
which the ToXaway river winds it's tor

thousands OF cords of dead timber, up

devastation. Never before has this

Thanks to the warnings sent out,
there was no loss of life. a number
OF narrow escapes are reported from
the upper part Of Pickens and Oconec
counties, and many Of the inhabitants
lost heavily in popGrty. Several saw
mills lose their timber and some ma
chinery. Farms were devastated in
the lowlandS. Household effects were
badly damaged in several homes by
the rising waters, which whipped
angry way around curves, and tumbl

Coal Shortaqe Evervwhere

TUCSON, Dec. 27.-Douglas, Bsbee. Phoenix and Tucson are in the grip of q coal shortage.
 The situation at Douglas is serious 1t was said.
 The people of Bisbee are seriously alarmed
 Not a pound of coal can be had in Douglas or Bisbee the outlying towns are suffering severely. the poor are re- sorting to wood often times burning their household furniture.
 Bisbee consumers accuse the rail- roads of causing the shortage. In a tel egram to the corporation commission at Phoenix they declared that only six ty per cent of the coal mined atGallup was escaping the hands of the rail- roads and reached local consumers. They alleged coal for Bisbee was be- ing seized by the railroads or sent east.
 The mayor and council of Bisbee, the Warren district commercial club and the Bisbee Business Mems associa . tion united in demand upon the cor portation commission for immediate action, in the telegram which stated that snow was falling in BisLee and the people were crying for fuel. The San to fe railroad reported 156 coal cars { Gallup. N. Nj, and only 67 loaded. Six ty per cent was for commercial orders. it IS raining and very cold in Tucson lodar

THE PROFIT IN SHEEP

Many people do not understand the economic position of sheep sufficient ly well to make the most out or their farms. Sheep are ruminants, and es- peciatiy Wei aGapted to consum. g rouShages. They may 0e Wintered and wintered we'll upon roughaees alcne. To be sure these must D protein roughages, such as clover, al- ialfa. or pea hay, but many times there are waste reeds of this charac- ter on the farm that can he turne ]
 into cash. l have thus used to good advantage pea straw out Of wnIcn peas had been tnrasfed The crop must yield doGble returns. one for the seed and another for the straw
 Growing wool requires a variety and considerable quality .of mineral sub stances. Weeds are rich in minerals. and consequently much relished by sheep us weeds for a part ration. The farmer who has wcedy hay on his iarm can often turn those to profit by the sheep route.
 The shelter and l1bnr required for sheer are less than for any other class of farm animals. The protection from cold afforded by the wool makes warmth in the sheepshed an unncces- sary consideration. The sheep is eco- Homical in its water consumption.

season are sufficient. Feeding and. watering are done for groups and so. can be accomplished with a minimum of labor. If sheep are properly bred and fed the lambs come strong and can largely take care of themselves. so that not much extra attention is necessary at lambing time.
 In the sale of sheep and their pro- ducts dual purpose Idea is involved Horses are raised for the work they furnish, dairy cows for the milk the,- give, beef cattle for the meat one can get from them, and hogs for the. amount of carcass they will yield bur with sheep the carcass ana the. wool are equally important. The lamb however, is the most valuable product of the sheep industry
 With a good farm flock, the lambs cropped in the spring will within six months equal the live weight of the original flock. This can be done on pasture, the cheapest of all feeds. and with the minimum lator. This can not be accomplished with any other roU Ughage-consuming animals of tlle farm. When one stops to cOnside- that winter feed at least can be taker care from the sale of wool. the source of profit in sheep can readily be ac- counted for
 With hothouse lambs the possible profit in sheep is still greater. Such lambs can within three montrs be made to equal two-.hirds of the i've weight of the breeding dams with the consumption of a little extra feed Furthermore. the price at which lambs like this sell is greater thar can hc obtained fer any other animals of the farm. These often out-sell poultry. Taking all things into consideration 9 farm flock of sheen properly managed is one of the most profitable invest ments farmer has.-William Detrich in Breeders Gazette.

Shortage in Fl Paso

FL PASO, Dec. 27.-There is nol d pound of coal to b. bought tonight in Fl Pasc, owing to a shortage that may continue indefinitely the dealers say. The excuse first given by the coal men when the supply regan to grow short was the scarcity of coal cars on the railways connecting with the mines. But now they say it re- suits from the scarcity of labor at the mines. Coal has advanced in pIi@e from S7.50 to s15 a ton within the past two months.
 The coal shortage, coupled with the spell of freezing weather, has caused acute suffering among the poor of the Mexican quarter It is not felt in
