Norwegian Town
Flooded by Lake
Families Drown as Avalanche Of
Rocks Plunge Into Small
Lake at Leon

+ st 44si Il #
Seventy-th three residents of Leon,
Norway, a famous tourist area, were
killed Sunday when rock avalanche
plunged into Leon Lake and sent a
wall of water sweeping over the
town.
The slide from the 6,O00-foot
Rogne mountain with its resultant
flood left little but death and de-
Struction to greet would-be rescuerS
who reached this picturesque village.
They rushed to the town, awaken
ed by roar like that of artillery
fire.
The catastrophe, at $50 a. m, left
not single house standing. Even the
fields were secured clear of soil,
leaving bare rocks to show where
the waters had rushed and then sub
sided.
Rescuers found about 20 survivors
but many of them were severely in
jured and some were expected to die.
One woman who had risen early
to milk her goats pastured in high
field, saw the flood envelop her
home and drown every member of
her family, she said.
A farmer who had worked late in
the field slept in a small fieldhouse
and was carried 1900 feet by the
flood. but survived.
"My wife, four children, my father
and mother all are gone," he said
dazedly.
"My house, which was one of a
group of nine, has been swept away
so entirely that I cannot find where
it stood"
A battered steamboat, which since
the catastrophe of 1905 in which so
were killed had perched $50 feet
from the water, was carried another
800 feet up the mountainside.
Several of the victims were carried
hundreds of yards from the village.
Apparently they had frozen to death.
Not single family escaped at least
one death.
Tourists from every part of the
world who have visited the scene of
the catastrophe always marvelled at
the temerity of the inhabitants, iv-
ing under the constant threat of
death.
Leon lake is a narrow two-mile
body of water, thanked by 1000 foot
rock cliffs so steep they appear ac-
tually to hang over the lake.
The settlement of Bodal, straight
across the precipice from which the
mass of rock hurtled down Sunday,
is the only community in the region
still standing.

twill not affect the election there at
all.
Governor Landon is the poorest
campaigner of the three important
candidates for President" he said at
ia press conference, lit would be just
as well for him to remain at home
and cancel his trip to Maine.
Il think the Republicans will carry
Maine by a two-to-one vote in No
vember. Governor Landon's visit to
Maine is for the purpose of sharing
in the glory, and not because Of any
helpful effect.
II think Governor Landon lacks
culture. It is unfortunate for him
that he pronounces for as fur and
through as 'troo' I think he dam
ages himself by not hiring a good
tutor and practicing his speeches. If
! were John Hamilton, would take
Landon into a side room and say

This time Garth did not smile. The
girl was due for a lesson. ''Suit your
elf-and tell Huxby he can head for
the North pole"
"Ihdeed!"
"Quite so. He and your father can
60 there, or to the other place-and
you with them. You're not only
selfish snob. You're brainless fool
to fancy southern pilot can back
trail canoe-route through unmap-
ped forest and muskey country"
The girls blue eyes flared with
outraged pride and vanity. Garth
smiled. He had paid her back in full
for her arrogance. It was worth wait
ing over until another season for his
fortune, up in that hidden valley of
the Rockies.
But before he cauld stoop under
the strut to recover his pack from
the cabin, the girl called out to him:
"Wait. I did not understand. If it's
really necessary for you to act as
Vivion's guide-But you had no call
to be so rude"
11OOSIl 11C CO11lCO OdChS ~ was
with no intention of humbling him
self. He was not duped by her SEEM
ing change to amiability. It had been
sudden for sincerity.
"a woman has no more right to be
rude than has man." he replied.
"When I hear you apologize, I'll con-
slider whether an apology is due
from me-"
The smile left her ge-smeared
lips. He had never before seen so dis
agreeable a look on any woman's
face But before she could find words
I'd vent her feelings, Huxby peered
down over the side of the cockpit,
flushed from exertion and annoy
ance.
Don't be all day, Garth. Cast off
the nes.-Sorry, Lilith, that I'm not
to have your company"
Don't worry, old DEAR" she said.
''This woodsy pest will soon be a
thing of the past. Only a few hours
of the affliction, and we'll be rid of
him."

only in Russia. Very little anywhere

He rose as if to go. Garth gave him
a regretful look.
''Yes-too bad, sir. Now I'll have to
go outside. I may even have to wait
until the ice goes out next year be-
fore I can dupe a gull into taking

Mr.. Ramill left the kitchen without
seeming to heed this plant When
Garth followed him into the store
room, he was quieting some dispute
between Huxby and Tobin. The visi-
tors put on their headnet and walked
down to the wharf.
Garth went into the bunkroom.
Before long Tobin came to open the
door a handbreadth. He chuckled.
''Uh-lad, you got your hook in
their gills. Pilots tinkering with the
motor. Changed the oil, but no move

Garth kept on lathering his beard.
When he came out, his cartridge belt
was buckled about his waist. It held
his sheath-knife and belt-ax. In one
hand he carried his rifle, in the other
the rest of his small outfit, strapped
on his pack board.
Down on the wharf Mr.. Ramill
puffed cigar smoke through his
headnet while he watched Huxby's
examination of the motor and pro-
peller. Miss Ramill was not in sight.
"Right-o, Tobin," said Garth. &C

motor--every cylinder hitting true.

bound Bellanca."
Don't fash yourself, Mr.. Garth.
She'll make Fort Smith on schedule. "
"Then here goes for my next play"
He went down the slope to lay his
pack and rifle little way out from
the base of the wharf. After that he
fetched his canoe from the bank. He
swung it down. into the shallow wa
ter within close reach of the pack.
Mr.. Ramill came shoreward rather
hurried for so dignified a gentleman.
Zone moment, Garth. I've consulted
with my engineer partner. He still
thinks it may be worth our while to
investigate your prospect"
What! In view of my terms?"
They're outrageous! Still, it is
just possible mine might
justify them. The least we can do is
to inspect the lode I make no deals
sight unseen"
Garth spoke as if to himself: can
air ride, free, and only few hours
delay. Time enough to make the trip
out before the freeze-up."
He lifted his pack up again on the
wharf, and swung the cannoe over
his head to take it back to its previ-
Gus position, bottom up, on the bank.
When he returned he carried his
pack and rifle out to the airplane.

THE American railroads have been the safest
form of transportation, public or private, for
many years The 1885 record of railroad safety was
only the peak record Of many years like achieve
ment. Insurance statistics prove that you
actually far less likely to suffer harm a modern
railroad train than even in your own home.
This doesn't just happen. The railroads are safe
because they pioneered and have practiced Safety
First for thirty years.
Every mile of mainline track is today protected
by safety practices perfect as human ingenuity
can so far devise. Unseen but constantly augment
ed improvements in locomotives, cars, brakes,
couplings surround those who ride by rail with
degree of security unmatched elsewhere.
And probably the greatest tribute to practical
raroaders lies in the fact that while they have
bettered their safety record they have at the
time bettered their speed and service.
"Safety First still lives as the basic creed of
American railroad men, but today it takes express
sion in the broader form-"Safety first - friend
illness tool" Make your next trip by train, and you
will sample not only the safest travel in the world
but also the finest and most reliable.

HENDERSON, IN CO. DISPATCH THURSDAY JULY 2s 1885,

a study of bus operating costs in the
80 counties represented. Executive
Secretary Lloyd Griffin said before
leaving for Wilson. Claude F. Gaddy,
former assistant secretary of the COM
mission in charge of transportation
and now superintendent Of the Ra-
leigh city schools, also attended the
meeting in Wilson and led some of
the discussion.
A similar meeting for the county
superintendent, chairman of the
county boards of education and mem
bers of the boards of county commits
sionerS of the so Piedmont and west
ern counties will be held later on, pro-
badly the second week in August,
Griffin said. The place has not yet
been definitely decided, but present
plans are to hold the meeting in Tay-
louisville in Alexander county.
Although there has been great i'm
provement in almost all of the coun-
ties in holding down the cost of
transportation, there is still a wide
gap in transportation costs in many
of the countless" Griffin said. Some
of the difference in costs is due, of
course, to road and geographical con-
ditions, but not all of it. What we are
trying to do in these meetings is to
bring the superintendent, school
board chairmen AMI county commits
sioners of the various counties to-
gether to exchange ideas and methods
in the hope that that transportation
and bus maintenance losts may be
further reduced"

ed to reinforce 5000 loyalists deter
mined to take zaragoza by storm.
On a wide battlefront of the civil
war, which some sources estimated
has taken a toll of $4,000 dead and
wounded, loyal hordes of Spain's
liberalist government forces march
ed out of Madrid to meet the threat
of two Fascist columns coverging on
the capital.
Word received in Hendaye, France,
said the Madrid-bound Fascist col
umns faced a firm defense by a train
ed army of $4,000 civil guards.
The most bitter fighting seemed to
center around zarazoga and Seville,
in southwestern Spain, and that in
itself was interpreted by observers
as an Indication of how widespread
the rebellion remained.
But the government announced
that the situation is improving from
hour to hour"
British naval guns doomed a

off Tarifa, Spain, and Tangier. Mo-

MR.. PEACE OFFERS
UNDERPASS PLANS
Would Abandon Present
Program and Have Rail
road Moved Outside

Fresh fuel was added to the flames
in the controversy now raging over
the construction of the underpaSs I'M
der the tracks of the Seaboard Air
Line railroad, connecting Charles and
Church streets, when S. T. Peace, local
business man, came forward today
with a proposal that the underpass
project be dropped entirely in favor
of a project for the removal of the
railroad tracks from the center of the
city entirely. He would have the rail
road tracks constructed on belt line
east of the city.
He doubted whether or not the rail-
road company, now in receivership,
could be forced to remove its tracks,
but his suggestion, if it were carried
through, would not only forego the
underpass but remove the necessity
for that one and at the same time
remove all grade crossings in the city
He envisioned a widening of William
street if the railroad tracks were
taken outside, and the creation of ex-
tensive parking areas, which are
greatly needed and which he said
would be a tremendous boon to trad
ing in Henderson.
There were many who thought the
suggestion very good one, but who
felt it was coming too late to bear
fruit. Plans have been drawn, bids
asked for and opened and the State
Highway & Public Works Commission
is ready to let the contract. Moreover,
the city has already sold $4,000 of
underpass bonds to indemnify prop
erty owners whose land would be
needed or would be damaged to some
extent by the underpass construction.
