TRACKS WASHED OUT

Casper, Wyo.-With unofficial es.
timates placing damage at close to
S1,500,000, the district to the west and
northwest of Casper extending as far
northwest as Thermopolis, is attempt
ing to recover from effects of cloud
bursts and subsequent floods in this
section.
Although estimates of actual dam
age to the Burlington Railroad are
hard to make because of so many
wires being down west of Arminto, it
is said that damage between Arminto
and Thermopois, stretch of some
eighty miles, will be S750000.
Despite the high total damage, no
loss Of life was reported.
The Burlington reported three steel
bridges out, one a mile southeast of
Thermopolis, which was carried 300
yards down stream, one a mile east of
Bonneville, and one west of Lysite.
No trace of the steel girders was
found at the Lysite trestle.
The Northwestern railroad also re-
ported many bridges out west of Cas-
per. No trouble was being expert
enced by either railroad east of here.
The only way tourists may motor
from here to Yellowstone park is to
take the road to Buffalo and then go
over to Worland and thence northwest
TO the park.

death in the flood waters. When the
wall of water swept down on their
ranch, six miles west of Lysite, they
saved themselves by climbing into a
tall tree.
Water was twenty-five feet deep in
this locality. Burlington railroad Off
cials said that it was doubtful if regu-
lar passenger traffic between here and
Billings, via Thermopolis, could be re-
sumed for nearly six weeks, so great is
damage.
The water reached to within few
inches of the rails in front of the Bur
lington depot at Thermopolis, this de-
pot being one of the highest spots In
Thermopolis. The power plant at
Boysen, which supplies power and cleo
tricity to Thermopolis, Shoshoni and
Boysen, was under water so that these
towns were without lights or power.
The entire town of Bonneville, dlvi-
sion point of the Burlington, was
swamped with water two to five feet
In depth. Four or five homes and rail
road buildings were washed down the
stream and others We're gutted with
water.
The depot platform at Bonneville

Miss Emma NJ. Gillett, dean of the

Miss Gillett will not sever her con-

college curriculum. Her successor is
at present engaged in practice as an

capacity.
Miss Gillett was born in Wisconsin
and came to this city in 1880. The
following year she was appointed
notary public by President Garfield.
and was the first woman notary pub
