COUNTY PROPERTY DAMAGED
Loss Not SO Great as at First Was
Feared.

Considering Prowers county's past
flood experiences it can be said that
we escaped rather lucky this time.
County Chairman II. F. Decker and
Commissioner A. p. Knuckey came up
Tuesday morning all the way on the
Santa Fe Trail and only had to go
around one place and that just this
side of Clay creek. While there has
been considerable damage to the road
all along it was not impossible and
nothing compared to what they ex-
pected to find. They were joined here
by Commissioner Ray McGrath and
Road Overseer o. H. Rhodenbaugh
and inspected the bridge and road here
at Lamar. The greatest loss any
where along the line financially will
be to the cement road north of La
mar. Several blocks of the cement
paving and the concrete bridge over
the south channel of the river are out
in all making a gap Of one hundred
feet. North of the bridge nearly two
hundred feet of the approach with its
concrete paving are missing and the
repairs here will be somewhat expens-
i've.
The bridge at Morse is standing all
right with a strip of the north APP
proach washed out. At Carlton the
same condition exists with part OF
the south approach out also. At Gra-
NADIA is the first place where cars can
cross now. A small section of the
north approach went out there also
but SO small that temporary cross
ing was easily arranged. At Holly
the bridge is alright Much less floods
in the past have carried out all OF
these structures but the one at Ora
NADIA SO the county is indeed lucky.
The road bed where it has been late
ly gravelled along the way the COM
missioners stated mad not been seri-
ously damaged, and the work being
done by the contractors, Leonard and
Mahan, near Clay creek was not much
damaged by the water. There will be
much dragging necessary as the road
dries out and lot Of repair work at
places, but the damage is SO much less
than was expected from the amount
of flood water and its terrific current
that the officials were feeling highly
pleased by their first days tour of
inspection.

LAMAR SHUT
FROM WORLD
Has Been Isolated for Several Days
and Loss TO Citizens and hsi-
ness Men Will be Immense.

Never in the history of the Arkans-
as valley has there been anything even
approaching the calamity that sudden
ly swept down upon its people the lat
ter part of last week and the first of
this. In fact the means of obtaining
information are SO badly interrupted
and the people too excited to be sane
that il is impossible to give many re-
liable details even now several days
after the worst is over.
II seems reasonably certain though
that one or two waterspouts in the
hills above Pueblo broke the big C.
F. & !. Co. reservoir and the COM
bined water was thrown into the city
Of Pueblo Friday evening almost bury
ing il under thirty feet of water. 1t
was reported to be over twenty feet
deep in the union depot. When this
had fallen about &c hours the Beaver
dam and another small one near Flor
ence broke throwing second volume
of over twenty feet of water into the
city. The second flood completed the
work of destruction OF the first. Trains
were washed off the tracks and pas
sengers in the cars drowned, business
houses eaved in by blocks at a time
and people working to try to save the
goods killed by hundreds, and in the
low parts Of the city hundreds of peo-
pie caught in their homes and drowned.
The city light plant and water works
were soon out of commission and in
the darkness and without water pres
sure the people were laboring under
heavy handicap. Fires broke out
and added to the destruction as there
was no means of fighting it. The re-
ports are SO conflicting and excited
that it is hard to get any reliable dope.
but Engineer Montgomery Of the high
way commission, who was here yes
terday, had just passed through the
city, and said it was hard to exagger-
ate the situation. He said the Pueblo
building commissioner estimated the
loss of life rs between seven and nine
hundred. This combined with the loss
along the river below Pueblo and
around Florence will make the total
lives lost above the one thousand
mark Mr.. Montgomery said the big
White-Davis store had crumbled and
also the Franklin Press Printing office,
the largest in southern Colorado. All
along Union and Santa Fe avenues
the business houses were falling in.
The flood reached the second floor OF
the Crews-Beggs big store and was
around the postoffice building far up
town. Bank buildings crumbled in
and the big steel safes were washed
out into the street. This should give
some idea of the terrible force of the
torrent.

The Santa Fe officials received word
yesterday that their railroad bridge
at Canadian, Texas, had gone out.
This leaves the Santa Fe no route of
its own west and will cause redoubled
efforts to get this route opened up.

the calling off of the D-C-D conven-
ton which was to have been held this
week at Elk City, Oklahoma.

And then marched back az

And then marched back again.
Lamar people were rather startled
on Monday afternoon to learn that Co.
f. of the National Guard had been
called to mobilize on Tuesday morning
to proceed to duty at Pueblo. There
was much excitement and many ex-
cuses, but almost full strength showed
up at the court house at 1880 on Tues
day morning ready for duty-sisty
men in all. Capt. Frank Strain was
in the east and Lieut.. Jno. ID. Paxton
was in charge. They crossed the San
ia Fe bridge on the ties and took autos
from there. An attempt was made to
recall them but it came too late to
reach the officers in charge and the
company went as far as Ordway. it is
said, where they received orders to
turn back.
At the same time that the orders
for Co. E. was revoked the headquart-
ers company was ordered out and they
left Just after noon Tuesday over the
tie route in charge of Major Byrnes.
About forty men were in this COM
pany. They reached Kit Carson where
they were turned back and are now
at home Somebody seems to have
pulled bad bonehead at headquarters
to put the state to all this expense for
nothing, but to use the expression Of
an experienced veteran Of the late war
if there were no boneheads it wouldn't
be military.

arrived late this afternoon.

that those who were on the low ground
north of the railroad were many OF
them Indifferent and did not want TO
move while some who were above the
possibility of danger were camped on
the hills south of town long before the
flood reached here.
All day Saturday the reports grew
more and more alarming and many
remained up all night preparing for
the approaching flood. Merchants in
many cases even on the south side OF
the track raised most Of their stock
as high as possible. North OF the
track most of them were prepared and
large part of the people moved out.
The flood reached here about 4:3O
Sunday morning and by eight o'clock
had covered most of the ground north
of the railroad. 1t reached its crest
about ten and remained there for
half hour and then began slowly to
subside 1t was night time before II
was out of town. At the highest it
was in the Valley State Bank on the
south corner of the street about three
inches and in the McCue Mercantile Co.
store two blocks north 10 inches. 1t
did its greatest damage in town to
the latter company as their fine stock
of furniture was all on the floor, the
big warehouse was filled with imple-
ments and thousands of feet Of lumber
under the waters. The loss is hard
to estimate but will run into the
thousands of dollars. All the other
business houses along the street had
losses some small and a few pretty
heavy. The wholesale houses had some
losses but active work on the part of
the managers prevented it being heavy.
The light plant had to pull the fires
for u few hours but energetic work
on the part of Manager Howe had it
going again by five O'Clock. The mill
was surrounded and got basement
full of water, but few hundred dol
lars will cover its loss.
The Helvetia Condensery was the
hardest hit of Lamar's manufacturing
industries and had to stop the farm
ers from delivering milk for the first
time in its history. The plant had
all its equipment and machinery un-
der several feet of water and will
have to be thoroughly cleaned and
| renovated before it is able to again

ness.
| The water would not have crossed the
railroad to the south at all If in the
excitement the people had not forgot
ten all about the culvert under the
Santa Fe which was made years ago
to let the occasional flood waters from
Willow Creek out of the low part of
town. When the water began to find
its way under the road it was too late
and could not be stopped. 1t backed
up on the old stock yards on Second
street and up as far as Elm getting
in several houses. 1t went over to
Third street and up to Oak and the
same distance up on Fourth street,
covering the Jail yard and Central
school grounds. 1t was stopped by
the paving grade on Main street or
several blocks of the west part of town
would have been flooded. The loss
from this flood will reach several
thousand dollars and could all have

that question apparently has been disposed
of to the mutual satisfaction Of both parties
to the controversy as one likely TO inject
discord into the coming disarmament con-
ference. Conversations on other Pacific
questions about which there is difference
of views as to the respective rights of the
two countries continue and il is TO he hoped
that advance satisfactory disposition will
likewise be made of them before the as
scmbling of the conference.
In the reported agreement, il is learned
that the representatives OF the two countries
named have mutually accepted program
which, when formally drafted will provide
for establishing universal extra territorial
ity for the island, any and all nations being
permitted to establish cable stations; of
the three existing cables radiating from
zap the United States secures the one from
zap to Guam, formerly German-owned, the
other two, one from zap to iokahoma and
Shanghai, and the other from zap to the
Philippines remain with their original own
ers; Japan's mandate over zap and other
Pacific islands remains undisturbed al
though the question of Notifications will be
brought up with other Pacific Notifications
problems at the coming conference While
this agreement between the two principal
countries at interest is subject to the APP
prevail of other powers interested in the
Versailles treaty. II is reasonably to be con-
cludcd that they will make no objection to
the settlement.
The disposition Of these questions. there
fore, may be accepted as Il happy augury for
the success Of the conference i'll respect To
other questions upon which accord must be
reached before the serious proposal OF arma-
ment limitation is approached. with the
nations approaching those various questions
in the spirit of utmost sincerity and de-
sire to effect justice in the matter OF their
solution there would appear to be good
grounds for the indulgence of large op'i-

Why Not Invite Them Here?

s c OLDIERS of the Old South veterans who

is the purport Of brief dispatch printed
recently in the newspapers quoting General

s the heart OF the South that is not less than
tragic. To the world il bears an impress

proach that otherwise would rest on every

Richmond will invite the veterans once
more TO gather in the capital OF the Con

Virginia. Even i'll an undertaking so praise
worthy as this, no hasty or il-considcrcd

that the people of both city and State have
