rado Springs by special Santa FS mo-
tor car In an effort to get INTO colh'
munication with La Junta over the
Union Pacific wires to order special
relief train TO the scene Of the disas'
ter.
Hundreds of lives were lost ana
millions of dollars in property were de-
stroyed," said Railsback. "The main
business district of the city gutted by
fire and water, and it probably never
will be known how many hundreds OF
people perished.
"rhe entire residence districts In
several of the lowlands were complete
" wiped out. spent the entire night
with hundreds of Others, rescuing woln'
ell and little children from the flood,
and my mind Is so befuddled that !
can badly talk about the thing. II
was horrible beyond description.
II saw several frame rooming houses
topple over, plunge into the raging tor
rent, each filled with screaming WON
en- and children. The scene was sick
enlng."
Mr.. RaIlsback said at one time there
was fifteen feet of water running
through the Santa Fe yards. In fact
the yards were completely destroyed.
To add to the horror Of the flood
fires broke out all over the city, not
only in the business district, but In
many residence sections.
The largest business houses OF the
city, including the big banks. Crews
Beggs, White & Davis, Straub's trunk
factory, the King lumber yard ant
many others were wrecked by water ol
completely destroyed by fire, accord
ing to Railsback.
The river broke over its banks neal
the state insane asylum, and sOor
there was raging torrent from the

reached Pueblo Tuesday by alternat-
ing from Santa Fe to d. & r. G. tracks
back and forth replacing and repairing

ried three baggage coaches and a
caboose filled with medical supplies,

Enormous Property pamaoes,

Millions Of dollars of farm property
was lost in the flood of the Arkansas
river. From Pueblo east to the Kan
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 perfshed
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.

STEPS TO ENDORSE
POOLING OF WOOL
Nevada Sheepmen to Act With WOOL
growers Of idaho and Utah

In line with the action of WOOL
growers of the States of Utah and
Idaho, taken during the past few
days, the wool men of Nevada will
meet soon to adopt plans for per-
fecting the warehousing, grading and
marketing of their wool, according to
information recently available, says
the Elko Independent. Tentative
measures for perfecting these plans
are now under consideration by vari-
Gus farm bureau Offices who have in
mind the industry's welfare during
the next financial session.
The plan which is likely to be
adopted in Utah and is under consid-
Grafton here. embraces the general
pooling of the wool of growers de-
string to participate in the plan in
the hands of a State central commit
tee, which would undertake to fl
nance, warehouse, grade and market
the wool delivered to it.
The Utah method of dealing with
the wool situation is being closely
watched by Nevada men generally.
and it is very likely that in making
their recommendations as well as in
adopting a plan for general use
throughout the State during the sea-
son, the plan used in the neighboring
State will be somewhat extensively
followed.

ELKO COUNTY FARMERS
ADOPT NEW WAGE SCALE

The Elko Free Press says that the
various farm organizations Of the
valleys of Elko County have adopted
a new scale of wages to be paid to
farm laborers. The average monthly
wage for all-round yea men is placed
at $40. The communities reserve
the privilege of paying skilled labor,
or men taking charge of particular
work requiring direct supervision, ac-
cording to their ability. Some dis
tricts more distant from the railroads
have seen fit to put the monthly
wage for an ~all-around man from $45
to $50. Valleys nearer to the railroads
are paying from s35 to $40 per
month, including board, which makes
a general average of $40 for general
farm labor.
For harvest hands the wage has
been placed I from 50 to SO per day.
depending on the class of labor. and
location of the district. Board and
lodging is furnished and the value of
the same has been placed at a dollar
a day.

10 RECOMMEND
STATE PRISON TERMS

A working plan to be followed by
District Attorneys and other officers
in carrying out the requirements OF
an amended law relating to persons
convicted of crimes and sentenced to
States prison is being prepared by
Clerk Mooney of the Parole Commits
sion and Pardon Board for distribu-
ton to various officers of the State.
According to the outline the law
requires the District Attorney, i'm
mediately upon the rendering ofjudg-
ment, to transmit to the trial judge
and to the secretary of the Board OF
Pardons a statement OF the facts OF
the case. AS soon as possible after
the prisoner has been delivered at the
prison the warden will send to the
trial Judge a statement concerning
what has been ascertained of the
mans record by the bureau of iden-
tifcation. This will be accompanied
by supplemental comments by the
Board of Pardons 1.-THE board having
received a copy of the warden's re-
port on the case.) The trial Judge
will later transmit to the secretary
of the Board of Pardons a statement
including a definite recommendation
Of the term to be served within the
limits of the sentence heretofore i'm
posed. 1t is observed that the term
will really be fixed after the convict
ed mans previous record, IL he has
any, has been made available to the
judge.-Carson News.

NEVADA MURDERERs TO
BE GIVEN T GAS

Carson City, Nevada, March U.s.
A bill providing for the use Of lethal
gas in executing the death penalty In
Nevada was signed here to-day by
Governor Boyle.
Signing of the bill abolishes other
forms OF capital punishment in the
State. Hitherto condemned men had
the choice between hanging or shoot
ing.
Nevada is believed to be the first
State to adopt gas as a means for
capital punishment.
Under the new law the death war
RAM must designate a week within
which the execution must take place.
| This week must not be less than 60
nor more than 80 days after the date
of Judgment.
The law calls for a suitable cell
foc inficting the penalty, where gas
is uset and provides that the warden,
a competent physician and six other
citizens must witness the execution.
The bill gives no details concern
ing the cell, but sponsors for the bill
said IT was understood that 1t was in
tended that it should be alright, fit
| ted with windows of thick glass and
| equipped with valves to admit air.
IT, was planned that when the con
demned man should be asleep the air
valves would be closed and others.

being taken without the prisoners

A OIL PROCESS
DECLARED A SUCCESS

The Catlin Shale Oil process for
the reduction of shale to petroleum
and its by-products was pronounced
successful for the first time since the
local plant was established a day or
two ago. The statement was made to
the Independent in answer to a query
put to Mr.. Sheeler, superintendent of
the plant, which was in effect: us
the process now proven to be success
full" Mr.. Shelters answer was
Yes"
Not since he came to this city as
superintendent of the Catlin plant
has Mr.. Sheeler SO expressed him
self. Upon all other occasions when
the question was ~propounded to him
he answered that he was not pre-
pared to state whether the process
was successful or not. At the same
time he refused to disclose any ex-
periments under way for establishing
the process and would not discuss the
production of the plant in any man
ner. He preferred, he always said.
to wait until matters were finally de-
termined before giving out anything
for the press, but when it was given,
he continued, it would be authorize
tive and there would be no hedging
upon the information disclosed.
Superintendent Sheeler will not
to the production of the plant nor
concerning the work presently under
way. His only statement is positive
ly that the process is proven and that
it will soon be evident to the COM
mercial world.-Elko Independent.
