Ames, June 6.-Property loss will run
far into the thousands of dollars, live
stock was drowned, railroad schedules
abandoned and serious damage 10 crops
and roadways, resulted from the most
serious rain storm that has visited this
section in years.
Rain coming down in torrents fed
rivers and small streams which already
were swollen as result Of the precipi-
tation of the last week, causing them
to overflow and flooding hundreds of
acres of bottom land. Squaw creek
going on a rampage has made great
lake between Ames and the campus,
the high waters taking out the foot
bridge leading from the cinder path,
and great stretches of the Lincoln
highway grade were washed out. Street
ear traffic was abandoned.
The Lincoln highway between Ames
and the college was washed out for
distance of about sixty feet the grade
completely giving way. The highway
was made impossible on both sides OF
the city.
In Alnes the rain fell in such volume
that many streets were like surging
streams. and storm sewers were choked
10 the maximum. The Northwestern
lunch room basement was flooded, as
were many other buildings in that
vicinity.

footing Iowa coal fields, upon which
Iowa must depend for most of its fuel
this year, is through the operators OF
the state practically turned over to the
government to bring about as nearly as

sequences Representatives Of the
United States fuel administration were
present, the western situation gone
over In detail and It was declared that
upon summer storage, and that alone,
the consumers of the central west must
place its dependence for fuel
Mr.. Cushing carries this message to
the people Of Iowa:
Anthracite coal Is barred hereafter

Illinois coal will follow the general
trend toward the east instead Of finding
its outlet in Iowa.

The vote, with the few precincts
missing stood: Boies. 1873; Lyle,
