Capt. Irven Travis borrowed a boat
from George B. Kenney and crossed
the river alone, below the lock. Mr..
Travis has made it custom to
cross the river at the height of ev-
cry flood, and the fact that he will
be IS years of age Saturday, made
not the slightest difference, and he
handled the boat just as expertly
as in the past.
Damage To Bridges
Morgan county escaped luckily in
the matter cf bridges. The Loosen
Glenn Murray bridge was washed
off its piers; also the Minor Morris
bridge, east of Hackney. The Clyde
Bone bridge, Bristol, was damaged,

Floods In Past Years
BY Capt. Irven Travis, recogniz-
ed as the best posted person living,
on matters pertaining to Muskin-
gum river navigation, floods, ETC.,
we are informed that once before
we had flood waters during the
summer months. He states that on
Sept. 3. 1868, the river here rose
to within three and a half feet of
the height reached in the year
1860, the date of the highest water
to that time, of which there is a
record.
Mr.. Travis states that in 1910,
readings show Cincinnati had a
gauge of 64.3 feet. While no rec
ord was kept locally at that time,
the river here was high.
In 1882 the water gauge at Gin
cinnati was 63.7. These floods
were before the river locks and
dam were built, but they were fin
ished before our next flood, which
was in 1S47, and it caused much
damage to the improvements. On
April 13, 1850, there was a food
which as stated above broke all
records to that date, 1913 at this
place. The worst damage was at
Stockport, where the water cut
around the east end of the dam,
carrying in its path a portion of
Arthur Taggart's farm, to whom
the state of Ohio paid $4,000 dam
age. The total cost of repairs there
was about 100000.
On Feb. 2, 1857, great damage
was caused by an ice gorge which
took out the first iron bridge here,
then nearing completion. A cover
ed bridge of wood was opened
Sept. 5, 1867. The present bridge
is the fourth one on the one set of
piers, which have been built high
er several times. In February
1884, was another record breaker.
with a gauge reading of "a feet and
eight inches. In March, 1898, the
record was again smashed, the
gauge showing &c feet and seven
inches.
In March, 1913, was THE
FLOOD, the water here reaching a
stage of 40 feet and eight inches,
which was IA feet and four inches
above that of any previous high
water. OF the Is bridges that
spanned the Muskingum river, the
only bridge remaining was the ia
nous Y-bridge at GAINESVILLE. With
but one exception, the floods in the
past occurred at intervals of IA
years.

Contract Bridge

Now a small heart was won in
dummy with the ace, and the ten
of hearts returned. East refused
to cover, SO declarer discarded the
six of spades. The nine of hearts
was ruffed with the four of dia-
mondS.
Declarer's next play was the
queen of spades, West covered, and
dummy won the trick with the
ace. A small spade was returned
and ruffed with the seven of dia-
mondS.
Declarer then led the ace of
clubs and followed with the queen
of clubs. West won the trick and
now, regardless of what he re-
turned, the declarer held the
jack-nine of diamonds over East S
ten-SiX.
So you see, the hearts had to be
established for a discard, the de-
clarer had to trump twice to get
his trump down to the same num-
Der as East's, and then he had to
make an end play with the queen
of clubs so he could have. the
tenace position in trump.

tant to her at the time than did
Carlota'S-for her own, she took
most seriously.
One of her greatest hobbies was
keeping a scrapbook, and one for
which she is very thankful today.
Her collection includes an original
picture of Queen Victoria and
photographs Of the imperial fam
lily of Austria. Her mother, Sari
Leonarz, had started saving the
pictures, and as she showed them
to BERTHA, would weave interest
ing tales about them until they
held great fascination for the
child.
Her powers of persuasion en-
abled her to have her younger
brother, Herman, play her games,
much as he disliked them. He
would hold her parasol while she
wheeled her doll carriage. Mrs.
Harding chuckled at this recollec-
tion-young Herman was quite
bored, we infer. Her favorite doll
was a sailor boy, upon whom she
lavished all her affections, and all
her disapproval.
A NY youngster will remember
IN a long trip, and particularly
one to Europe, but to be taken
across the Atlantic five times as
were BERTHA and her brothers ..
If you picture an open patio,
centered with a fountain and sur
rounded with flower gardens on a
balmy Mexican afternoon with the
two Leonarz boys and their sister
trying to study lessons from a
governeSS, you can well imagine
the distractions. A lot of things
have slipped by unremembered.
but Mrs. Harding still can recall
her painful elnbarra ssment. when,
after some mischief, she was put
in the corner, where she was dis
covered by the ice man. who, we
learn. was no ordinary ice man,
but a great tease with quite SUI
perior ways.
Across the concrete patio and
into her bedroom every morning,
her pet parrot would pigeon toe
its way to waken her. The par
rot was a pet of the family and
never was kept in a cage. but
would wander all around the
house and gardens-it got so that
the child would sense its approach
and wake before it arrived-fOr
fear it would land on her face.
It's career was a garbled one
it would talk necessarily and then
cease-it Knocked the youngsters
and repeated things it heard. Mrs.
Leonarz could place the young
sterS' laughs or crys in some Of
the parrots chatter. The poor
old bird died of old age, a sad
day for the Leonarz family.
AT an early age, Mrs. Harding
learned to ride and swim, and she
can't imagine one not knowing
how to Swim-''it is not a feat
it is an equipment to life"
With the same swinging direct
ness Mrs. Harding has taken hold
Of her life today; has written one
successful boak and is working on
others; is lecturing before clubs
and assemblies, and managing a
home.
