WILKESBARRE. Pa, Oct. l.
Flood conditions were prevalent in
many sections in northern Penn
sylvania today following the heaviest
and most prolonged rain storm in
years.
Property damage is tremendous
and transportation badly interrupted
as a result of washouts and land
slides.
Many families are homeless and
several towns partly under water.
Nine deaths in the anthracite region
during the past forty-eight hours
were directly attributed to the storm
and resulting floods and slides. An
aged woman was drowned at Miners
Mills, near here. when a bridge was
washed away and a man was
electrocuted in Wyoming County
when he came in contact with a
fallen power wire.
Two men were drowned at Jer1nyn
near Scranton, when a bridge was
washed away and two others were
drowned at Mauch Chunk.
Two Catawisha trainmen We're
killed near Bloomsbury when a land
slide buried a pusher engine on the
Reading Railroad.
William Collins. Wilkesbarre, was
drowned in Bowman's Creek when
his automobile was carried into the
water by a landslide.

PASSAGE OF IRISH

Conservative Amendments

BIZ United Press
LONDON. Oct. Three Conserv-
alive amendments were prepared for
introduction during the second read
ing of the Irish bill today.
Indications We're, however. that
the governments project for arrang-
ing listers boundaries will have
comparatively clear sailing. With
the Liberals supporting the bill and
the Conservative opposition bent on
embarrassing Premier Minister Mac
Donald rather than blocking the
measure, there is little likelihood Of
its failing.
The real trouble for the govern
ment will come at the end of the
month when Parliament takes up its
regular fsll session. The difficulties
of the Irish situation will becmce
critical when attempt is made to en-
force the boundaries measure.

name Quebec. The first known

The first white man to visit the
site Of the present city of Quebec
was Jacques Cartier IN 1885 and
there he found the Indian town Of
Stadacone. Cartier notes that there
is a narrows of the river here.
Seventy-three years after, in 1908,
came Champlain. He found no
settlement OF any kind. Stadacone
and the Huron.1rouuois people
dwelling there had disappeared.
Champlain writes "Quebecu, which

the ACCOUNT Of his voyages, pub
hshed In 1913 states that he sought
q place for q house and found
none better than ''the point of
QuebecQ, so called by the In

voyages he reaffirms that Que
