MANY HOUSES WERE
CARRIED AWAY BY
THE FLOOD WATERS
Town of Britannia Mines on
Howe Sound Wiped Out
by the Disaster.
PROPERTY LOSS WILL
REACH INTO MILLIONS
Telephone Operator Given Warn

of Impending Flood.

VANCOUVER, B. c., Oct. 30.-The
toll of lives lost in the flood which
plunged down the mountainside Fri
day evening, virtually wiping out the
town of Britannia Mines, on Howe
Sound, and partially inundating Fra
zier valley, just east of her, reached
thirty-six tonight. The property loss
is estimated at several million dollars.
Fully half of the 10 neat, freshly
painted cottages were carried away on
the crest of the food Others were
smashed to pieces by the force of the
onrushing waters, and most of the re-
mainder were still partially submerged
tonight.
Four children are dead and ten
others are reported to be missing. Ten
of the dead and all of the injured
We're brought to Vancouver last even
ing on the steamer Capitano. All the
injured are expected to recover.
An energetic search for the missing
was made today, but the work was
necessarily slow because of the diff
culties in clearing away the wreckage
in the sea of mud and water. 1t is
considered doubtful if the bodies OF
some of the missing viii ever be re-
covered, as they are believed to have
been washed into the muddy waters Of
Howe Sound
Manager J. Donahue, of the Britain
mia Mines, tonight described the efforts
made by those on duty at the mines
property, three miles back from the
town, to warn. the residents of the
danger. When the railway fill which
caused the accumulation of water in
the hills gave way and released a
roaring torrent into the creek, a warn
ing of the disaster to come was sent
over the private telephone line of the
mines. This message was received by
Miss Ellen Patterson, telephone oper-
ator, on duty at the compressor plant
in the village. She promptly rang
everybody connected by telephone, re
laying the miners MESA ge:
For God sake get out lof your
homes; flood coming down the creek"
Before the warning could be under

 Men who havs already affiliated them selves with the Windham County -ttel- stein-Freisian association are about to inaugurate a membership campaign They are going to ask farmers ef the county who prefer Holstein cows for their herds to come into the association, that the reputation of Windham county as breeding ground for this type of thoroughbred dairy cattle be made sec ond to none in New England. The as- sociation members are making their ap- peal strictly on a business basis They say that as fine Hsisteins can be bred and raised in Windham county as any where else in the nation, and that if the farmers give the proper attention to breeding and developing herds that buy
  many sections of the country looking for animals of class and distinction, just as Windham county farmers have in the past gone into New York and northern New England for their stock. The idea is to make Windham county famous as Holstein breeding territory and the Holstein men say that this can be done if the farmers will but get together on the proposition. The county association is affiliated with the Windham County Farmers association.
