Caused by CLoudbursts,
Weather Eapert Thinks
James III. Scarr Believes Great
Flood From Mountains En-
quilted Pueblo, Colorado

Mountain cloudbursts, common to the
country in which Pueblo is situated,
are believed by James H. Scarr, United
States meteorologist in this district, to
have been responsible for the Colorado
disaster.
When Mr.. Scarr was informed at his
home in Hasbrouck Heights, N. j., of
the foods heavy toll. in lives he was
greatly shocked.
II could have understood it readily
had the loss Of life been in the dis
trict outside Pueblo" he said, because
such floods are common to that country
There are frequent cloudbursts up in
the mountains, and the water rushes
down to the foothills ands plateaus,
often in great walls.
"1t is quite common occurrence for
campers in canons to be overwhelmed
by a great wall of water when there
has been no rain at all in their To-
cality. Cloudbursts miles away create
the fooe. and it rushes on to the base
of the hills"
The reason Mr.. Scarr attributed the
Pueblo fl0S,1 to cloudbursts is that none
of the local weather bureau stations
in that district have reported excessive
rains recently.
"The reports. we have received" he
said, "have not mentioned heavy rains,
and there was nothing unreasonable
about the quantity that did fall. But
cloudbursts areS common to the noun
tains. Pueblo, it must be remembered
is in the foothill country of Pke's

horror Of the flood, fires broke out al
over the city, not only in the business

By Arthur Chapman

Colorado's great food OF yesterday,
which, according to telegraphic ac-
counts, has caused heavy loss of life
and tremendous damage to property
along front of at least 200 miles, is
not the first of such disasters in that
state, though it is apparently by far
the most appalling.
From their very location at the edge
of the foothills. many OF the towns in
eastern Colorado are threatened with
foods when cloudbursts sweep down.
the canyons. Bursting from their
cramped stream beds at the edge of
the plains, often carrying death and
destruction on their crests during the
first few miles Of their course
There are many little streams in
eastern Colorado which are innocent
enough in appearance, but which have
taken heavy toll Of life and property.
Some Of them are actually dry most of
the year, but the waters from quickly
melted snowbanks, back in the hills, If
augmented by chance cloudburst, will
in a few minutes make one of these
st cams a dreaded agent Of destruction.
Generally such foods are of short
bed may be as harmless looking as be-
fore, but trees and other wreckage on
the prairie and great powders that
have been rolled far down the water
course tell of the relentless power of
the flood.
The ArkansaG River. which flows
through Pueblo, and the Platte, which
flows through Denver. are the large
rivers of the eastern slope in Colorado.
Generally their stream beds are wide
enough to care for any flood that may
come But the little Fountain, which
has it's beginnings at the foot of Pike S
Peak at Manitou, has caused Colorado
much trouble, and seems to have been
and damage at Pueblo, where it joins
the Arkansas.
The Fountain and other streams
south of the Palmer Lake Divide, which
is about half way between Denver and
! Colorado Springs, belong to the Ar
kansas watershed North of Denver
such streams as Cherry Creek, Clear
| Creek, Boulder Greek, the St Vrain
and the Big Thompson are part of the
| Platte watershed. These streams are
widely separated, but they nearly all
flow out Of the foothills between the
walls of narrow canyons, and in aood
time they are to be feared.
Flood conditions have been compli
Gated in this section by the construc
| ton of huge reservoirs for irrigation
purposes. These reservoirs are bull
to impound food waters. At a time
| like the present, when unusually heaV,
I foods in the mountains have fillet
every water course leading from thu
foothills, the capacity of these reser
voirs is tested TO The limit. Suc}
reservoirs are numerous in the ricl
agricultural district north Of Denver
Greeley, Fort Collins, Loveland am
Longmont are in this section, which
according to dispatches, is suffering
heavily from floods.

Four deaths were reported near Ster-
ling, in Logan County, one at Loveland
and one at Denver as a result of the
flood The damage at Sterling was es-
timated at $1,00O,000.
Waters from q cloudburst in eastern
Weld County had receded to the banks
of the Pawnee Creek to-day and further
losses were not anticipated. The flood
in this area covered territory thirty
to forty miles in length and nearly a
mile in width.
half mile of the Union Pacific Rail-
road track was washed out near At
wood and 1000 acres of sugar beets and
many acres of other crops in the vicin-
ity were flooded.
Three large bridges over Big Thomp-
son River at Estes Park were washed
out, while at Broomfield 400 motorists
en- route from Denver to Boulder were
caught in the flood and are camping in
their machines, their food supplies be-
ing reported nearly exhausted.
From all parts of the stricken area,
which embraces all that portion of
Colorado lying east of the Rocky
Mountains, came reports of homes
| washed away, people by the hundreds
! fleeing to high lands, thousands of head
/ of livestock drowned and millions of
| dollars damage done to crops and prop,
erty.
The damage caused by the food in
Pueblo in the railroad yards alone is
| placed at more than S1,000,000. The
railroad yards are sea of mud and
slime strewn with wrecked box cars
and railroad equipment.
A message from the commanding Of
ilcer of the Colorado State Rangers at
Pueblo urged that every man available
be sent to that city to assist in rescue
work.
"Conditions here are very bad,p the
message said. "Rescue work going on,
Send every man available. Hundreds
