FLOOD REPORTS IN FROM
LOWER SILETZ

! Reports Of great damage by flood
to property on the Lower Siletz have
been drifting in this week, which re-
ports indicate that the people on the
lower river had many narrow escapes
from drowning and many of them did
lose their homes, barns, livestock and
barely escaped to the hills with the
clothing on their backs.
1T Is reported that ]. J. Derby
lost his house and all his cattle. Paul
Keihl lost his house and furnishings.
George Freucht's house was washed
away, but grounded after going about
700 feet. Gust Seid lost his house
barn and livestock, barely escaping
with his family in a boat. Clyde Nor
ris lost his team, and l.. c. Mowery
lost ~ head of milk cows. Elmer
Deetz was living in Mr.. Mowery's
house and he and family moved into
the upper story of the house when the
flood waters began to rise The water
continued rising until it came to with
in couple OF inches Of the ceiling Of
the lower rooms. The terrific cur
rent made the house tot,er and shake
and the family expected 1t to be carri-
ed away momentarily. The barn did
wash away and drifted about 500 feet
where It grounded ]. d. Steers lost
his team and cattle and Elmer Miller
lost his cattle and his barn floated
some 500 feet down the river. j. s.
Lloyd lost his fine herd Of pure bred
Holsteins. The Wheeler sawmill was
badly wrecked but did not float away.
Futher reports from Elk City in
clude the houses Of p. ]. Parks and
Paul Womack as being in the pathway
of the flood. The Parks home was
washed from its foundation and badly
damaged, but can be repaired The
home Of Mr. Womack, 1t is stated, is
wrecked beyond repair AS previ.
ousy reported in last weeks issue, the
ctoiO anu pootollllt o"hCu ny SId6
Allen was carried from its foundation
and the stock and considerable mail
destroyed. ]. C. Dixon lost consider
able feed in his warehouse, it being
submerged in the muddy waters, but
his grocery stock was not badly dam
aged, 1t being mostly above The high
water mark. The Elk Hotel was badly
wrecked and 1t will take several thou
sand dollars to repair the damage.
Fortunately no lives were los. in any
of the flood districts OF the county.
Relief measures have been undertaken
here at Toledo for The benefit OF those
left destitute by the flood. and soma
5000 and considerable clothing and
eatables have been donated.
Roadmaster Andy Porter states that
the financial loss to the county thru
the loss OF bridges will not be as great
as was at first estimated. He explains
this by showing that many of the
bridges were In bad condition and
would soon have had to be rebuilt
anyhow. The rest Of them had been IN
use or number OF years so that the
county's loss could not be estimated
The same as the full cost OF the bridges
when new. The actual loss will prob
ably not be more than half what orig
inally thought.

PRATT-HARALSON
 CASE TAKEN UNDER
 ADV|SEMENT HERE
Judge Grubb Hears Motion to Review Decision of Com missioner Richardson.
 ReSiStS Motion

Judge W. I. Grubb, of the north Alabama district of the federal court, took under advisement yester- day afternoon a motion to review the decision of s. R. Richardson, United States commissioner at Huntsville, binding over Tracy W. Pratt of Huntsville, and William W. Haralson of Troy, to the fed eral court of Pennsylvania on the charge of using the mails to de- fraud, following a hearing of de- fense attorneys yesterday morning.
 Messrs. Pratt and Haralson resist ed efforts of the government to bring them under the Jurisdiction of the Pennsylvania court, by which court they were indicted on the charge of using the mails to defraud, in con nection with scheme which linked the names of the Heralds of Liberty. an Alabama insurance society doing business in Philadelphia, the Inter national Loan and Trust company, and the Barrick- Kentucky oil com pany.
 After a hearing before Commits sioner Richardson at Hunts file they were ordered under the Pennsylvania Jurisdiction, and in the appeal from the decision Pratt was represented yesterday by Lawrence Cooper and Earl Smith of Huntsville, and Haral- son by R. E. Watts of Birmingham Earle Pettus, United States district attorney, represented the government in resisting the motion of the defense attorneys
 Defendants attorneys contended that the alleged fraudulent transac- tion was done under the order of the Alabama insurance department for the purpose of protecting the policy holders of the Heralds of Liberty. Attorneys for Pratt argued that his only connection with the transaction was that he was supreme commander of the Heralds of Liberty. Haralson 5 attorney argued that he had nothing at all to do with the transaction.
 The alleged fraud is said to have arisen out of the sale of the assets of the International Loan and Trust company, which belonged to the Heralds of Liberty, to the Barrick company.
 MT. Haralson was formerly deputy insurance examiner of Alabama, and MT. Pratt is the owner of large cot ton mill at Huntsville.

CORRECT MILEAGE OF
 HIGHWAY MARKER

The Bankhead highway marker at the Tutwilsr. which, when placed last Thursday. read: Atlanta, III miles; Memphis. as3 miles," now reads ~Atlanta. so1 miles; Memphis. 4oa.''
 The correction was made by Lee Higdon. builder of the markers. on authority of those versed in the rami- fications of the highway.
 The railroad distances are: From Atlanta to Birmingham via the Southern is 1e7 miles; from Bir- mingham to Memphis via the Frisco, z50 miles.
 The total of the distance from At lanta to Memphis by the Bankhead highway. according to tho new marker at the Tutwiler, is 6o4 miles and by the Southern and Frisco rail roads AT miles.
 The greater distance by the high way Is understood to be accounted for by the fact that the highway runs through more communities. while the railroads make 2 shorter cut and pass by many of the smaller places touched by the highway.
