BRIDGES CONE
ROADS WASHED
CELLARS FULL

As we went 10 press last Thursday
Itswas TOO eariy 10 determine the ex
tent Of the eloudburst Of early NOR
ming.
Since that time it has been learned
that several Of the new bridges OF
the Orr Coulee road went out. On
Armington Coulee, also bridges wero
missing in the morning and the cul,
vert which passes through the Belt
Rieeville road where Arlington Cou-
lee comes into Belt creek stood bare
OF covering and had to have immedi-
ate repairs. The Cora creek road
was also somewhat damaged.
Il seems that, while the rain was
general in Cascade county, the
heaviest fall was in the immediate
vicinity of Belt Butte and near the
head Of Lewis and Orr Coulees.
County trucks have been busy haul
ing timber and piling for the repair
of bridges and the damage will be
repaired In a few days.
It seemed like old times to Beltite
to have to get up in the night to
ward off tumultuous waters. Many
people are still pumping out cellars
and Easements while others have been
cleaning house and washing rugs.
The flume from Lewis coulee tn
the park was open when the flood
started as may be seen from the
amount Of rock and coal which it
vomited forth into the old creek bed,
but the rocks and timber became too
big and the mouth Of the flume be
came clogged after which the water
visited Bridge Street, First, Second
and Third Avenues.
Little Belt was very high Thursday
and the Gray and Wood ranches were
pretty we'll under water for a time.
The water was four feet deep in
Ed Woods barn and his pigs found
themselves swimming around iu a
pen with high board fence. They
sought refuge on top of the pig
house. The bridge near Holden
Grays ranch was entirely under water
but did not go out.
At the Peterson ranch the road was
badly washed but the bridges were
safe.
No crops were damaged to any ex-
tent although some gardens looked
sick as they emerged from their
covering Of water with coating Of
red clay upon the plants. Spring 1,
wheat got a thorough soaking and
many fields are assured Of bumper
crops without further rain. Nothing
but hail can prevent bounteous crop
in eastern Cascade county.

Three n. E. Governors
Dance Lady of Lake
At SPRINGFIELD Show

Springfield, Mass, Sept. 21.-(P)-
Three present day leaders of the New
England states went back genera
ton and stepped the jolly measures of
the Lady of the. Lake, while the
crowd turned from all the greatly
magnified features of country fair,
which makes the Eastern States Ex-
position, to applaud them.
There was no opportunity for GOV.
Alvan r. Fuller of Massachusetts,,
Gov. Ralph o. Brewster Of Maine and
Gov. John II. TrumbulI of Connecticut
to sneak out behind the hall and prac-
tice a few turns and balances Every
one in the exposition grounds knew
that Henry Ford's old-fashioned or
chestra was tuning it's dulcimer and
cymbalo, it's fiddle and it's viol, but
not until the ladies curteysied to the
governors did those three realize that
they were to lead the dance.
When Massachusetts Bay was col
ony and great balls were held at the
governors house in Providence court,
the loyal governor took sometimes his
greatest pride in office from the neat
figure he made at the head of the
dance. With such precedence. his
three successors acquitted themselves
gracefully until Governor Fuller re-
minded them they were to discuss
cares of state at Il meeting of which
he was host.

Portland, Me, Sept. 21.-(P)-Denial
that Governor Ralph o. Brewster was
the object of an attempt at political
blackmail by close friends of u. S.
Senator Hale in the recent State cam
paign, as Governor Brewster asserted
in statement issued Sunday night,
was made in a statement by Daniel T.
Field, chairman of the Republican
State committee.
Referring to letter from Colonel
Fred n. Dow OF the State committee,
which he showed the governor, Chair
man Field declared:
There was nothing in Colonel Dow's
letter that looked to me like threat.
If there was a conspiracy the parties
to 1t must have been Colonel Dow and
myself. His more than score years of
honorable and upright living would be
answer enough to satisfy all Maine in
regard to him.
so far as my part in 1t is concern
ed, I saytthere was no conspiracy, no
threat, nothing but a courteous letter
to me from gentleman which I show
ed to the governor and which seemed
to produce a brainstorm.
There were two other gentlemen
mentioned in the governors article.
l unhesitatingly state that the sup
port giveT~to the entire Republican
ticket by Senator Hale and ex-Govern-
or Baxter was absolutely loyal"

Senate to Remain
In Control Republicans
View Campaign Com.

Chicago, Sept. 21-(Pl-All but a
handful of the 81 Republican senate
seats at stake in the November cleo
tons are sure to remain in control
of the Republican party, and it has
better than an even chance to win
all the senatorships class6d as
doubtful" in the view of the Re-
publican senatorial campaign COM
mittee.
The full committee held its first
meeting of the campaign here today,
with Senator L. c. Phipps, of Colo
RADIO, presiding, and Senators c. s.
Dineen, of Illinois, Frederick H. Gill
lett of Massachusetts,. Simeon ID.
Tess of Ohio and C. H. McNary, of
oregon, attending.
Discussion of the senate campaign
generally brought from Senator
Phipps the statement that frequent
claims of some Democratic leaders
that the Republican party will lose
control of the senate are absolutely
groundless.'
"There may be some hard sena-
torial fights but feel certain that in
practically all of these. the Repub-
lican candidates will be successful"
The committee confirmed plans of
Senator Phipps to act as major domo
of the senate campaign.

400 known Dead

Miami, Fla. Sept. 21.- up - At
least 400 dead; $50 or more missing;'
5000 injured and $4,000 homeless
this was the known sum tonight OF
human loss and suffering in cities
and towns along Florida's southeast
Property loss estimates range from
100000 to S1,000,000
In Miami the death total increased
as Biscayne Bay gave up more Of
its dead. Authorities said the list
probably would reach $50, although
it was around 200 tonight Hospitals

hurt
AT Hollywood the list was known
dead 80 with possibly eight other
bodies to be brought in and seventy
persons listed as missing. Earlier
reports had included many of tie
missing as definitely dead and the
total had been announced as IS
known dead. 1t is believed now that
many of the missing fled into the
interior when the first hurricane APP

persisted, it is regarded as more like
ly that they were only injured.

day had been reported to the Pensa-
cola naval radio station late today.
according to message received at
the Algiers naval station here to-
night.
Commander A. J. Mcclure Of the
Algiers station said that although the
naval hospital at Pensacola was re-
ported uninjured, many of the sea-
planes used at the naval aerial
training station there were smashed.
Because of the damage to these
planes, the commander at Pensacola
told Commander Mcclure it may be
necessary to recommend the gradu
alton of the class now in training at
Pensacola because of lack of equip
ment.
The bridge connecting the naval
station with Pensacola proper was
greatly damaged by the storm, rem
dering it impossible and hindering
communication with the city proper.
Although no loss of life was re-
ported. property damage was said to

Princess Astrid
OF Sweden to Wed
Belgian Crown Prince

Brussels. Sept. 21.-(P)-A real love
match soon will give Belgium crown
princess.
King Albert and Queen Elizabeth to-
day gave to the public press news of
the engagement of their son. Prince
Leopold. the 24-year-old heir apparent
to the Belgian throne, and Princess
Astrid, the 20-year-old daughter of the
Duke of vaestergoetland and niece of
King Gustav of Sweden. News of the
engagement also was made public in
Stockholm.
All Belgium today was aglow with
enthusiasm over thu royal match, due
partly to the popularity of the young
prince and partly by the fact that the
union was brought about by the nat
ura1 play of affections.
The betrothal is most popular with
Belgian housewives who have learned
that the young princess knows how to
cook. One story that is being told is
that Princess Astrid, learning that
Prince Leopold was fond of endives
salad, prepared a dish of the salad
with her own hands when the prince
recently visited Stockholm. A good
many Belgians are saying this. eve
ming: THAT did it."
