secretly sounding out the major Eu-
ropean powers on the possibility of

Letter Has Viuid Description
OF Eastern Flood Conditions

I'VE went through a country deva-
stated by terrible floods. The train
Just crept along and sometimes
stopped completely to test the rails.
The track we we're on was the only
one in repair and often there were
great spaces where ties had been
washed out under it.
'The other tracks lay streWn
about like bent wire, the ties like
toothpicks. What few telephone
poles remained standing were COW
cred with debris to their topmost
tip and many of them were lodged
in tree crotches twenty and thirty
feet above the ground.
"Whole fields we're washed away
and it was a pathetic sight to see
the huddled groups of people sur
veying the wreckage with look
of utter disbelief ON their faces. AT
Hampers Ferry two Of the three
bridges we're out and I must admit
bit of apprehension when looked
down into the boiling water below
which was so thick with mud il
] looked like lava"

Endeavoring to straighten out the

valley and to aid growers in work.
ing out a successful program for

here.
Several months ago the company
had disconnected the power on local

new policy of shutting off irriga-
ton power during the winter. Be
fore recommending the power this
spring for pumping and spraying,
they ask that the growers make ar

bills paid and endeav0r to cut down
on the delinquent accounts. MI.
Bunnell is contracting these growers
now and reports that to date about
thirty customers have made ar
rangements for power while ar
rangements are being made with
others as rapidly as possible.
\ In working with the growers, MI.
Bunnen says, he will be aided by
the company's agricultural agent
whose services are available to those
growers who have problems TO solve
in working out an adequate pro-
cram to meet the changing agr1-
cultural conditions.
\ Mr.. BunneM, who expects to be
stationed here for the next veal
or so, is making arrangements To-
a residence, and soon after TIT
, school year is over will move hi
