ICE GORGE AT PORT DEPOSIT.
High Water and Ice Cause Alarm
But Damage Not Great.

HIGH Watcr anu ACO OtAuSO 1A"A -
But Damage Not Great.
The ice on the Susquehanna river
at Port Deposit broke early Sunday
morning, flooding portion of the
town. The water was in Main
street from Tome Station to the
lower end of the town and Rock
Run, at the upper end of the town,
in the low places.
The water was from two to three
feet deep and flooded quite number
of the houses. The railroad was
piled with ice from three to five feet
high in the lower end of town, train
service being interrupted and large
force of men required to clear the
tracks.
People moved their household
goods to the upper floors, and those
living on the lower side of the street
went over to their neighbors on the
hillside, where they stayed until the
water had gone down. The dam
ages consisted of a few boats being
swept away and some small outbuild-
ings along the river being crushed in
by the ice.
The water was in the streets
about two hours when the ice broke
through at Perryville and passed out
into the Bay. A channel has been
formed in the river and no further
trouble is apprehended.
The flood Sunday morning was
the first of any consequence since
January of 1910, when the town was
almost swept away.

CONTRACT WITH
SHORT LINES IS
GIVEN APPROVAL
10y MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED WIRE

iBT MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wREl
Washington, Oct. 25.-The standard
form of contract between the railroad
administration and short line rail-
roads not under government control
was approved by Director General Nc
Adoo. Previously it had been agreed
to BY short line representatives.
The contract applies to about 1900
socalled short lines under private
management and must be signed by
officials of each line. 1t provides,
among other things, that until it is
necessary to take over any short lines
it is TO remain under direction of its
owner.
The contract contains no provision
requiring short lines to pay the scale
of advanced wages now prevailing on
government managed roads.
Joint rates with trunk lines are to
be divided fairly between the short
lines and government-onera roads,
and are not to be less than the per-
centages received last January 1,
when government operation started.
In event of an increase in joint rates,
as was enjoyed for the average of the
vance order. short lines are to re-
ceive a proportionate share of the
higher rate. They are to receive an
equitable allotment of cars. and where
feasible, of motive power. and are to
pay the same rental for these that the
railroad administration pays as rental
for their equipment.
Enough traffic is to be routed over
short line to guarantee to it the
same amount of competitive traffic
as was enjoyed for the average of the
three years ending December 81,
1917"
Short lines may make purchases at
cost through the railroad administra-
tons central purchasing organization,
and may have repairs made in shops
of government managed roads on the
same terms as prevailed before gov
eminent control.
