CLOUD BURSTS
CAUSE HAVOC
Pueblo Greatest Sufferer-Other Colo
RADIO Cities and Country Damaged
Many Lives Lost.

Pueblo, Colo, June 4.-Pueblo's bus
mess district tonight is a mass of
wrecked buildings. It's streets are
deep in mud from the Arkansas river,
which yesterday overflowed it's banks,
bringing the worst flood in the his
tory of the city.
The death list probably will mount
into the hundreds when toll is taken of
the wrecked buildings and rooming
houses in the river bottoms.
The full death list may never be
known.
Property loss is estimated at S1O,-
100000.
Disaster on All Sides.
A trip over the city by airplane re-
vealed to the Associated Press staff
correspondent a scene of disaster.
Residences had been toppled over, rail-
road passenger coaches and freight
cars had been swept in every direc-
tion or smashed into kindling Black
ened ruins showed the location of fires
started last night by burning lumber
from lumber yard floating through
the streets in the flood tide. 1t look
ed as if a third of the city had been
in the flood district.
Relief Measures Begin.
Tonight relief measures were under
way. The city council had appropri-
ated a fund of $4,000 and the busi-
ness men had contributed $125,000 to
relieve the suffering.
Churches were cooperating with the
Red Cross and other relief organiza-
tions, opening their doors to the home
less and supplying food. The devast-
ed district is under patrol of troop c..
of the Colorado national guard, police
officers and volunteers of the Ameri-
can Legion. All persons are prohib-
tied from entering the district without
permit and then only up to o'clock
at night.
Fire on Looters.
Scores of persons were detected
looting stores as the flood poured its
way into the streets last night. 4.
hundred shots were fired at the loot
ers by soldiers.
1t was virtually impossible tonight
accurately to estimate the number of
dead. Two morgues tonight held 1872
bodies and scores of dead , were
drowned in wrecked buildings, where
their recovery was impossible because
of the mass of mud and debris.
The force of the flood carried en-
tire buildings down the stream, anC
it is believed many of the dead were
carried far down the river and may
never be recovered.
Railroad officials were pessimistit

BOAT IS
NOW SEAWORTHY
Repairs On "Invincible" Finished
. Boat Inspected by Commissioners
and Committee of Citizens.

County Commissioners Stiley, Pippin
and Anderson, Clerk and Recorder
Bretzke, We're the guests of Sam
Grossman, in a trip to the river Thurs
day afternoon to inspect the ferry
boat "1nvincible". Leo Coleman also
drove down with j. w. Wedum, Sam
Rugg, H. l.. Gamas, and Geo. C. Reed
er of the Courier, who were repre-
sentatives of the Chamber of Com
merce.
The party found the Missouri at
almost flood stage, very high, with a
powerful current. The boat was look
ed over and its capabilities demon
strated, by trip across the river in
about five minutes, and a short run
to ry its power against the current.
Everything was found sufficiently sat
isfactory. The boat has been over
hauled and repaired and new Ford
son engine installed.
1t was learned that the only imped-
iment now to the operation of the
boat, were certain legal complications
All present expressed the hope that
these would soon be overcome. II
has been brought to the attention OF
those in charge of the litigation that
it is highly desirable to the Chamber
of Commerce, and the various inter
ests they represent, that the ferr,
situation be cleared up speadily, a.

OIL SHOWING AT
THE CAMPBELL WELL

Word at the Gordon Campbell we'll
four miles north and west of Kelvin is
being pushed with all possible speed.
Although indications are even much
better than had been anticipated at
the present depth, and the findings
to date are most gratifying, the COM
pany claims that the persistent ru-
mors of an oil strike at this point,
which have been rampant the past
week are unwarranted. Pockets of
wet gas have been encountered dur
ing the past few days, and these have
been accompanied by remarkably good
showings of shale oil. The formations
now being penetrated by the drill go
to further prove that the location of
the well on the structure is ideal.

No "C0ld Towns" Along
the Roosevelt Highway

Secretary H. B. Tyson, of the
Roosevelt Highway, returned Friday
from a trip over the road which took
him as far west as the Montana state
line and as far east as Minot, North
Dakota. He says that there is a wide
awake feeling all along the line and
that much will be accomplished this
year with regard to the organization
and promotion of the great route
across the northern part of the United
States.
Mr.. Tyson, in company with other
directors of the Montana division,
went to Libby to meet General Secre-
tary Tracy, who had been on an or
ganization tour of the coast states.

association in Idaho, Washington and
Oregon. Idaho and Washington have
been put into one organization with
E. V. Cox, of Lewistown, as president
and L. L. Running of ColfaX, as sec
retary. Oregon was organized with
John Yoen of Portland, father of the
Columbian highway, as president;
both new organizations have the sup
port of the most influential highway
men in the states named.
Another great work done by Mr..
Tracy while in the west was at his
meeting with the officers and direct
ors of the Highways and Electrical
Exposition, at Portland, and securing
their endorsement of the Roosevelt
highway, as the official road to the
exposition in 1925. This organization
also promised Mr.. Tracy all the assist
ance within it's power towards the
completion of any unfinished parts of
the highway. The route Of the high

SECOND ANNUAL
FARM BOYS, CAMP
Thirty-Six Boys Enrolled In Very
Successful Meeting at Gull
bertSOn.

Tomorrow will mark the close of
the second annual Roosevelt-Valley
County Farm Boys Camp which has
been in session the entire week at Gull
bertson. This camp, held under the
auspices of the Montana Extension
Service and the County farm bureaus,
is in charge of County Agents Noble
and Stebbins. Thirty-siX boys are en-
rolled, eighteen from each county. The
boys from Valley county are as fol-
lows: Reginald Tuttle, Hinsdale; Nell
son Cooper, Hinsdale; Willard Stems
land, Tampico; James Milton, Glas-
gov; Albert Nyquist, Glasgow; Con-
rad Rosholt. Opheim; John Nyhoff,
Glentana; Wilbur Finney, Avondale;
Leo Sprangler, Rosedale; Stanley
Goldsmith, Oswego; James Scott,
Frazer; Kenneth Bondy, Vanguard;
Harold Wood, Oswego; Bernard San
ders, Nashua; Walter Trubell, Glas-
gov; Percy Clyde, Baylor; Jack Fa-
gen, Baylor; Leonard Hedine, Nashua.
About three hundred yards from
the fine new Culbertson high school
in the city base ball grounds is big
brown tent 40 60, much like Chau-
tauqua tent. Here the boys sleep on
great piles of clean straw, each in the
bed he brought for himself. Here
they receive much class instructions,
lying comfortably back on the straw,
their heads pillowed on rolls of bed
ding. And as the fresh June breeze
drifts in at the opened sides of the
tent, they learn about first aid, rope
work, boys and girls club work, COM
munity leadership, climate and soil
moisture, weed Identification. Between
lectures they dash out to play ball. At
the sign of the shrill whistle of the
managers of the. camp they file over
to the high school where they line up
in military fashion and partake of the
splendid meals prepared for them in
the domestic science rooms.

TAPS and VOLLEY
FOR WAR HERO
Private James l.. Hines LaI. Rest
By Great War Comrades WI.
All Honor.

The funeral of James L. Hines,
Company A, 3OS Infantry, was held
under the auspices of the Nashua Post
Of the American Legion, and Valley
Post No. Al, of Glasgow OF o'clock
Thursday afternoon.
The last services for the remains
of private Hines were to have been
held on Memorial day, but the body
failed to arrive at that date. 1t
were shipped from France and arriv
ed in Glasgow with an escort from the
regular army, last Saturday, and has
since been under guard by Valley Post
at the Peterson mortuary.
James l.. Hines was one of the Valley
county boys, whose brief but glorious
military career ended with the su-
preme sacrifice. 1t was only a short
span in days from the time he was
taken from peaceful life in small
community, to when he received what
proved to be his death wound, while
going over the top in one of the war
swept trenches of the firing line, in
far off France. His heroic death and
soldierly career, stand out from the
many others, as one typical of the
spirit of young America. Without
previous training in the use of arms
or the science of the soldier, he ans
wered the call of duty and obeyed or
ders that compelled him to enter the
hell of battle, and which sent him, es-
corted by many other brave spirits,
into the valley of death. No words
of the writer can bestow upon him
honor that is not already his; his life
is before US, as bright and shining
example of what sterling stuff our
Young men are made. His death and
memory should make more dear to US
the ideals of the great government for
which he died.
His official military record is short,
but its dates and sententious history
are eloquent:

WOLF POINT BOOSTS
NORTH AND SOUTH TRAIL

Wolf Point. June Ga party of
Wolf Point business men made trip
to Scobey Friday, returning Saturday,
and put up signs marking the Powder
River trail between the two towns.
A meeting was held at Scobey to pre-
pare for marking the trail north from
Scobey.
The idea of a north and south trail
originated last year with Secretary
Foor and the directors of the CONNER
cial club. At first it was planned to
have the trail extend from Moose Jaw,
Canada, but the idea has grown, as
the cities south of here have joined in,
until it is now expected to extend the
trail to Denver and, eventually, to the
Gulf of Mexico.

1t now seems certain that the Eanls
of France will not lower its discount
rate to meet the American and British
movement in this direction until the
Washington conference more clearly de-
fines its intention in regard to the
financial problems of Europe. 1t is re-
ported in financial circles here that
France Is perfectly willing to follow the
lead of her allies, but not until the prob
lem -of Germany's financial future is
settled. She Is unwilling to take any
steps which are likely to complicate her
financial situation.
With the Reparations Commission
studying Germany's financial position
and the best means for controlling Ger
manys receipts and expenses in order
to avoid further depreciation in the
mark, the whole tendency of the Bourse
last week was heavy despite the slight
upward movement In metallurgical quo
tations, which are believed to indicate
a revival in the affairs Of this particular
division. All other divisions showed
downward trend, French 3 per cents.
are considered generally as offering the
best chance for Improvement
Probably the financial debate In the
Chamber OF Deputies was responsible for
this drop, as the parliamentarians con-
slider the question of taxes and the eX-
terror loan possibilities as greater than
anything affecting the consolidation OF
interior securities.
Only minor interest was shown here
in the report that Germany was nego-
tiating loan in the United States, pri-
vate information indicating that Herr
Bergmann, representing the Deutsche
Bank and other German financial inter-
ests. absolutely failed to induce Ameri-
can bankers to take up Germany's cause.
One financial writer this week predicted
that little change could be expected until
the end of the Washington discussions
and that rather than look for any i'm
provement in the French Bourse one
must expect a temporary depreciation in
all branches
This was borne out by severe fall In
mining. sugar. Turkish and even Russian
quotations, despite the fact that the
latter should have shown a steady rise
pending discussion of Moscow's latest
offer to recognize the Czarist pre-war
debts.
