Several Thousands Observation-Disclosures
Loss Reaches Into Millions.

Pueblo, Clo., June 4.-This city
has been practically destroyed Ivy a
devastating flood caused by the over
flowing Of the Arkansas river and
the bursting Of nearby dams. The
death toll, according to the only
available estimate, ranges from If
teen hundred to three thousand.
In this section Of the country the
awful floods have broguht the total
dead to approximately 5000. Men,
women and children are frantically
.4!, r.n4!n,nsng Through the water.soaked
streets waiting for help. tSnecial
trains have been ordered from all
railroads out Of Denver, with food
stuffs. clothing and doctors.
All bridges leading into the city
have been washed away, roads are
impossible, and rail road tracks are
from four to fourteen feet under wa
ter.
The entire business section has
been heavily damaged by fire caused
by electrical storms.
Bodies are being transported to
the morgues in wagons, many being
brought in on horseback.
The food inundated the Grove
district, containing the homes of the
poorer class and the business sec
ton. Bodies arc floating around on
all sides. The city is without food,
light or heat. A lineman established
the first communication with the out
side world by fighting his way to the
from the edge of the city. He sent
broadcast appeals for immediate as
sistance.
Damage, according to available re-
ports, will range from 100000
to $20,0O0,0O0.
Danger Of Plague.
The greatest source of danger to
the survivors is plague and the
spread Of typhoid. Conditions are re-
voting, with the city at the mercy
Of disease

city not destroyed by the food. Sur

Denver, Col, June 4.-Reports re-
ceived here late to-day said the loss
Of life in Pueblo is appalling. Esti-
mates placing the loss as high ns
1900, with the possibility that it
may reach higher figures, we're pub
lished locally.
Martial law has been proclaimed
at Pueblo. State Rangers are in COM
mand and are beginning the task of
gathering the dead and caring for
the injured. Property damage, from
estimates received here. will reach
at least 100000.
Eighteen feet Of water covers the
main business section OF Pueblo and
conditions are fearful.
Hundi eds are homeless and boats
are being used in the city streets to
reach many families that had beon
marooned by the high water. The
lower section OF the city, including
many public buildings, was devas-
tated. Washed-out bridges on all
sides Of the city tied up railroad traf-
hc, but the rains had ceased at noon
and it was hoped that the flood wa
ters would soon start recede.

Why Honey Doesn't Carry
Disease.

Honey is raw product. Bees
searching for food and water often
visit places where they might become
carriers of disease germs. Do they do
it? Does honey ever spread disease?
Hitherto, there has been theory on
the subject, but little exact data. An
Investigator at the Colorado Agri-
cultural Station, DR.. Walter G. Sack
ett, has made experiments revealing
some Illuminating facts about the
healthfulness of honey.
He took bacteria causing the COM
mon intestinal troubles. and intro
duced them into solutions of honey
and water. In pure water these bac-
terra lived forty days or more. In a
solution of honey and water the
length of life decreased as the pro-
portion of honey was made greater.
In extracted honey, undiluted, the
bacteria lived only two to four days..
The conclusion from the investi-
CATION was that the chance of con-
tracing an intestinal disease from
honey was very markedly less than
from water, milk or other substances
containing water. Indeed, honey ap-
pears to protect itself against bac-
terra, in the common process of pro-
duction and sale. Any bacteria left
in it by the bees will ordinarily be
dead before the honey is taken from
the hive. If bacteria are introduced
during the process of extraction
which is done with clean apparatus
and under clean conditions, usually
they will be dead and harmless long
before the honey is consumed, ordl-
narily. Extracted honey reaches the
consumer usually in glass jar which
is a safeguard against contamination
while waiting to be sold.
/. This is only one of the admirable
characteristics of honey that apiar-
lists believe adequate research will
determine. It has many suspected vir-
tues, and others which are claimed,
but not yet supported, which apiarists
believe. investigation would reveal or.

Cotton Acreage Must be Ex-
banded, Says u. S. Attache.

Cotton Acreage MUST ne E6-
panded, Says U. S. Attache.
Washington, April 22-The worlds
cotton acreage must undergo very
marked expansion in the years to
come if the supply of raw cotton is
to keep pace with the worlds needs,
Alfred P. Dennis, American CONNER
.cial attache at London, reported to
the department of commerce after an
exhaustive study of the worlds capa-
city for consuming cotton goods.
At the present time, he said, there
Is record carry-over of raw cotton.
Combined with this there is an I'M
mense amount of underproduction
in the chief cotton spinning centers
of the world. There has been a
marked setback to the purchasing
power of the world in the amount OF
cotton goods and a corresponding
setback to the production OF cotton.
ssIt is obvious" says Mr.. Dennis,
<sthat the world has emerged from the
war with a production capacity OF
raw cotton considerably below its re-
auirements. Coincidentally there has
been marked decline in the output
of manufactured cotton stuffs, that,
in turn, being reflection of reduced
buying power in the great consuming
.centers of the world.
<sWith a return of the world to nor
NAL state of economy, buying will be
resumed, idle and short. time looms
and spindles will be speeded up, and
an insistent demand for raw material
may be anticipated. Farsighted repre-
sentatives of the British cotton trade
are already agitating the question OF
!increasing the production of raw cot
ton within the empire.
'It seems established that the need
of the world for cotton goods within
the near future will grow more rapid
1y than will the extension of cotton
growing areas. Increase in the supply
of cotton depends very largely on the
finding of fresh cotton territory and
improving the strains of existing
known cottons.
"The crop in America, which has
,been averaging for the five years,
1s95-9s, 1O,OOO,OOO bales, jumped,
ten years later or for the five years,
1904 to an average of l3,50O,0o0
bales. Production in other countries
also increased. The inference must
be accepted, therefore, that through
the increase in the worlds population
and through the extension of con-
sumption to new markets, as we'll as
through the inclusion of cotton into
new utilities, such as automobile tires,
the world required an increase in its
supply of cotton. 1t is stated on high
authority that the world in 1914 was
in position to absorb in manufac-
tured goods at least 100000 bales of
cotton more each year than consumed
the year before.
"one of the prime factors in the
present day equation is the impover-
ishment of the world. Trade with
lboth Russia and Germany has amount
,ed to little, and while the capacity in
general of central and eastern Eu-
rope to buy cotton goods has not been
destroyed it has been greatly i'm
paired"

Awaits New Attitude.

Boston, April 22.-Normalcy in busi-
ness awaits new attitude of man
howard his job, James S. Alexander,
president of the National Bank of
Commerce, of New York, said in an
address tonight at the annual banquet
sof the National Association of Cotton
Manufacturers. Correction of the
business and social confusion of the
time must be sought, he said, not only
in banking and business adjustments,
'tbut more particularly in the human
element.
ssAlready substantial progress has
been made toward a return to sounder
conditions" according to the speaker,
Shut the time has not come for are
Iaxat;on of coution. The weight of
chance is against speculative under
takings."
conditions in the rural districts of
the South were described as worse
than in the days of slavery by David
r. Coker, a.South Carolinian cotton
grower, in addressing convention
session today.
@The average farm laborer in the
South receives just enough to keep
body and soul together" he said.-
"The return to the small growers and
l:iaborers is not enough to keep them
T: in decent state of civilization. The
/: present price paid for cotton in the
South is only little more than one
half the cost Of production"
