Enormous property Damages.

Millions of dollars of farm property
was lost in the flood of the Arkansas
sas line on both sides of the river, en-
tire farms are devastated. Houses,
fencing, machinery and stock all swept
on by the raging waters. 1t is thought
that many people may have pershed
on the farms and the lowlands of the
valley along the river. but the exact
number Will not be known for some
time. Nearly ever town in the Ar
kansas valley suffered more or less
damage and loss to property and life.

Latest Report on Death Toll

The death toll of the flood waters
which swept the northern, eastern and
southern sections of Colorado continue
to mount as more complete reports are
received from inundated portions of
the state. The total number of dead
stand at 573 ut last reports. Several
towns where devastation is thought to
have been terrific We're still unheard
from. owing to crippled communica-
tion lines and disrupted rail traffic.
The towns and cities in which casual
ties resulted from the flood waters,

Andrew Carnegie told a good story

his Autobiography 1t seems that
the English critic was not successful
In his lectures in the United States,
but he was anxious to learn. and he
asked how Josh Billings held his au-

piled: We'll, you mustn't keep them
laughing too long, or they will think
you are laughing at them. After CIV

become earnest and play the serious
role. For instance, There are two

Platte River Goes over Banks.

The flood gates of Bergen and Har-
riman lakes above Denver were raised
to allow the flood waters to escape
down the Platte river, that the dams
could take care of the extra water let
loose by the breaking of the Beaver
dam. This caused the river to over
flow its banks in Denver and near
panic ensued when the police sent out
warning to people living along the low
lnnd next to the river. No loss of life
was reported and all danger was soon
over. The police of the city used ev-
cry precautlon to see that no one was
allowed to cross any of the bridges
which the raising water was threaten
ing. The water in some instances run

the bridges

The text of the message follows:
"Hon. Oliver H. Shoup, governor,
Colorado Springs:
Late estimates of total property and
crop damage between Canon City and
state line, is from fifteen TO twenty
million dollars. Damage in Pueblo
city and county alone will total six to
eight million dollars. Federal govern

improve and repair levees in all sec

government to appropriate sum of 3d.
100000, of which the sum of 81, ,O00,-
600 may be Immediately available for
purpose of repairing and improving
Arkansas river and Fountain river
levees and removing debris from cities
damaged. of which Pueblo should have
at least one and one-half million dol
lars Immediately. Impossible to ascer-
tain loss of life, owing TO imposslbility
of removing debris without great fl

will show several hundred people
drowned when debris is removed"
