mately 1000 persons are homeless to
day and damage estimated at 81 900,
600 has been done by flood waters
which rushed down the valleys of the
Apishapa and Arkansas rivers yester-
day and today following the breaking
of an irrigation project dam near here.
Five hundred persons have moved out
of the danger zone in North LaJunta.
according to word received here, and
approximately that number fled from
their homes in the valley below the
dam. Observers saw a dozen houses
and many bodies of cattle and horses,
as well rs huge trees, tumbling along
on the crest of the flood after the dam
broke yesterday.
Warned of the breaking Of the dam.
scores of families hastily moved Their
household goods from the path of the
water and most of them. ii is reported
here. were able 10 save most of thei
livestock.
The flood waters are expected 10
reach Lamar, Colo. late today. Resi-
dents in the lowlan1s there were NOV
ing to higher ground.
Water Wall % Feet High.
When the dam washed out, wall
of water % feet high swept down the
channel of the Apishapa river. then
spread out over territory MI
wide. As it spread out, the depth de
creased TO four or five feet. observes
said. but took trees, houses and live
stock in its path.
The wall of water swept the valley
from the dam. which is 80 miles south
of Fowler. to the junction of the APPS
hapa and the Arkansas rivers, three
miles east of here. travelling at spetc
of five miles an hour. Then it swelled
the flood in the Arkansas which. BE-
cause Of recent rains and clOudbursts,
already had risen to point near tina
attained during the disastrous Pueblo
flood of June, 1921. The city of Fow'
Ter is not in the path of the flood.
Crops in the lowlands for many
miles along both rivers have been de
stroyed. it is declared.
Flood Warnings Broadcast.
The flood resulted from the washing
out of the huge earthen retaining wall
of the Apishapa river dam. The dam
built two years ago, was erected be
tween the rock walls of a canyon.
Erected on concrete base, the
earthen dixie was GOO feet long, SO feet
high and about 100 feet thick. Includ-
ing the concrete foundation. the dix
was 100 feet high and, at the time Of
its collapse, the impounded water was
Sc feet deep and was damned up for
a distance. of seven miles.
Tire earth wall was eaten away
slowly at first and warnings wet
broadcast 10 residents in the valley
below. Soon the destruction became
more rapid and then all the huge dut
wall swept out. leaving only the con
crete base. which scarcely slowed the
rush Of water from the canyon.

as the result Of q 34-hour mail flight

plane, racing slong at speed OF 100

Today. as men in the commercial

from their New York offices, mailed
Tuesday, they gave serious thought to
giving most of their New FORK mes
sages hereafter to Uncle Sam where
they formerly relied on faster forms
of moving orders.
San Francisco was startled by this
unprecedented performance of the pos
tai service augmented by aviation, for
it was reminiscently engaged in a
mental throwback to the early days
of the pony express riders. when mail
was relayed from Missouri to Cali
fornia by horseback.
A revival of this famous pony ex-
press in pageant had held the atten-
ton OF San Francisco for days.
