WOMAN WRITES
OF FLOOD CONDITIONS

The following excerpt from 4 let
ter received by Judge A. F. Per-
kins from his daughter, Mrs. A. c.
Maxson, of Longmont, Colorado,
gives vivid account of the con-
ditions in the flooded district. long
mont is between Denver and Pueblo.
Mrs. Maxson's husband is entymolo-
gist for the Great Western Beet
Sugar Manufacturing Company at
that place:
"Now hat trains are running |
will write line to let you l.now
that things here at Longmont are
not so bad as they are reported in
the papers. We hear that the east
ern papers have reported that Long
mont does not exist any more; but
conditions are not bad at all. 10 be
sure, some of the surrounding
ranch lands are flooded and nearly
all bridges are washed out. There
have been no trains through since

til last night and regular service
will not be operating for several
days; but there has been no loss Of
life. However, at Pueblo and other
places it is terrible.

many drowned. He came near wait

ment exercises Thursday night, but
was excused from that as he was
anxious to get to work as soon as
possible. We have not been 'le to
hear from him, but are not anxious.
"We were out in the car when the
downpour came, and, believe me, 1t
rained, and kept at it from Friday
morning until last night, Tuesday
the 7th. We were able to drive out
beyond the factory last evening TO
see the damage. The water in the
creek just south of the factory
which usually is about four to SIX
inches deep, was running six feet,
with a house which had been washed
down stream standing in the middle
of it. The stream is about 10 feet
wide naturally, and in some places
is now nearly mile wide and run

discussion: The securing of efficient
teachers, the advantage of free text
books, countrywide taxation, and the
effects OF competent supervision.

the ensuing year and F. Leo Grin
stead was reelected secretary.

for third class districts was recon-
mended by the resolutions commit
tee: Teachers with less than one
year of normal training, 5000; those
with one year of normal training,
$1,000; those with two years of train
ing, S110O. The sum Of $100 per
year should be added according TO ex
perience and efficiency.
The following resolutions were
read and adopted:
That school teachers and school
boards be held to strict compliance
with the terms of teaching contracts
and that upon a wilful violation
thereof the law be strictly enforced.
That the annual directors meeting
be held during the teachers insti-
tute.
That text books be uniform and
be furnished by the state at cost.
That system be worked out so
that each child may have equal edu-
cational opportunities in financial
way.
That directors in third class dis
tricts work in closer cooperation and
harmony with the teachers.

ance and efforts in making the meet
ing success.

lost. Exley was tried out in the

has the earmarks of ball player. but
needs more experience. Graham mas
rounded out to mid-scason form, and
is playing the best ball of his long
career. The Valley team has lost
the services of most of the salaried
players but still remains real pen
nant contender. Carl Sorensen pitch
ed the game for Valley, and, while
not in a class with Mccarthy, is
very dependable hurler. Flaherty on
first is a good ball player, Jimmie
Raftis seems to have the number OF
