DEATH LIST IS
PLACED At ESQ
Two More Reservoirs Break
at PusbIo City
SITUATION VERY SERIOUS
Food And Drinking Water Are Both
Scarce, But Sanitation Presents
Most Serious Prob
lem.

Pueblo, Col.-Three times during the
past As hours the water of the
Arkansas River, breaking from their
course, have inundated the, greater
part of this city, with the resultant
loss of probably not less than $50 lives
and property damage estimated at $1O,'
10000 To the first flood of Friday
night and Saturday morning this loss
of life and damaged property is for
the most part due. The second and
third floods of Sunday morning and
afternoon, due to the breaking of the
Skagway and Shafer dams, found lit
tie of value not already ruined by the
waters and were looked upon with con-
Germ only because they hindered rescue
and reconstruction work.
A downpour of rain, amounting al.
most to cloudburst, again was falling
at 9 o'clock. Whether or not the rain
followed the course of the Arkansas
River above Pueblo could not be
learned because of the darkness. If
it did, undoubtedly another rapid rise
IN the river is proDaDle.
The Shafer dam, which is 10 miles
due north of Florence, went out at
1880 o'clock Sunday morning. The
Skagway dam, which is six miles
further up Beaver Creek, went out at
10 o'clock. 1t was the loosing of the
waters held by the Skagway dam
which caused the Shafer dam to break.
Shafer dam held the waters of Lake
Macneill, which was built by Colorado
Springs capitalists to furnish irriga-
ton water for Beaver Park.
yShagway dam furnished power for
the Arkansas Valley Light and Power
Company. This power is used by
Pueblo, Concrete, Portland and Pen
rose.
The destruction of the Lake Mac,
neill dam ruins at $1,O0O,0O0 invest
ment.
The going out of these two dams
sent a tremendous volume of water
rushing down the Arkansas valley to-
ward Pueblo.
Fifteen houses on Beaver Creek, be-
low the Shafer DAM were destroyed
when the waters of Lake Macneill
were loosened, but all the inhabitants
there had been warned and had
reached high ground. No loss of life
, has been reported in this section from
the breaking of the dam. but there
has been great property damage.
First estimates of the dead, based
upon reports from excited eyewit'
nesses who told of seeing hundreds OF
bodies swept through the streets of
the city, are considered greatly exag
gerated. While no official count OF
the fatalities has been attempted, it is
stated that the death list will probably
not exceed $50, if that high.
One hundred bodies have been re-
covered. but it is feared that when
the mud and debris which fills the
streets and buildings in the flooded
area are cleared away more bodies
will be found.
Relief work is progressing under
the direction of Red Cross officials and
Governor Shoup.

EAT PLENTY OF
FRESH SPINACH
Vegetable Is Exceptionally Rich

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultureo
One of the first vegetables in the
garden or on the market in the early
spring is that reliable standby
spinach. The shoots should be cut reg
ularly; if not. the old shoots become
tough and rank favored.
Spinach furnishes little body energy,
but it is exceptionally rich in iron and
is one of the important vitamines, and
SO Is a valuable food, say specialists in
the United States Department of Agri-
culture. 1t contains little starch and
only suggestion of sugar, and is
therefore one of the vegetables that
physicians include in the bill of fare
of many invalids who require a diet
without these carbohydrates.
Cheap in First Cost.
Like most other vegetables, 1t is
rarely cooked to perfection, yet it is
not difficult to prepare. Except for
special reasons, the simplest methods
are the best for this vegetable. No
matter how cheap the raw spinach may
be, it is always expensive in one
thing-labor. 1t takes good deal of
time, water, and patience to wash it
clean.
To clean the spinach cut off the
roots, break the leaves apart and drop
them into a large pan Of water, rinse
them well, and lift them into second
pan of water. Do not pour the water
off over the spinach or the grit that
has been washed off will get back on
the leaves. Continue washing in clean
waters until there is not trace of
sand on the bottom of the pan. If the
spinach is at all wilted, let 1t stand
in cold water until it becomes fresh
and crisp. Drain from this water
and blanch as follows:
For half peck of spinach put in
large saucepan 3 quarts of boiling
water and 1 tablespoon of salt. Put
the drained spinach in the boiling
water and let it boil 10 minutes, count
ing from the time it begins to boil.
When it begins to boil, draw the cover
of the saucepan little to one side
to allow the steam to escape. At the
end Of 10 minutes pour the spinach
into a colander, and when the hot
water has passed off pour cold water
over it. Let it drain well and mince
coarse or fine, as is suitable for the
manner in which it is to be served.
One peck Of spinach will make about
IL pints when blanched and minced.
Spinach With Egg.
II peck spinach.
3 tablespoons butter or other fat
" teaspoon pepper.
2 eggs.
8 teaspoons salt.
Wash and blanch the spinach, using
two teaspoons of the salt in the water
in which the vegetable is boiled.
Drain the blanched spinach and chop
rather fine. return it to the saucepan,

Spinach ls an Especially Valuable
Vegetable.

and add the salt, pepper, and butter or
other fat. Place on the fire and cook
ten minutes. Heap in a mound on a
hot dish and garnish with the hard
boiled eggs, cut in slices.
Spinach Cooked Without Water.
Fresh spinach when washed holds
enough water for cooking, Put the
spinach into covered saucepan and
cook for ten minutes. Press down and
turn the spinach over several times
during the cooking At the end of ten
minutes turn the spinach into a chop
ping bowl. and mince rather fine Re
turn to the saucepan and add the sea-
sonings, allowing for half peck of
spinach two generous tablespoons of
butter or other fat and teaspoon of
salt. Simmer for ten minutes; or If
very tender, five minutes will be suffi-
Client.
Spinach cooked in this manner will
retain all its salts and the flavor will
be stronger than when blanched
(boiled in water). In young, tender
spinach this is not Objectionable, but
when the Overgrown vegetable is
cooked in its own moisture the flavor
Is strong and somewhat acrid.
