West Virginia Floods
Cause Huge Damage

The cloudbursts of last Saturday
night and early Sunday morning
which caused the loss of % lives and
millions of dollars in property damage
in six West Virginia counties, only
indirectly affected this area.
Parents who had taken their chill
dren to Cowen, w. Va, on Sunday af-
ternoon to Camp Luther were re-
quired to detour south of Elkins due
to high water on the Tygarts Valley
river, upon their return to Oakland.
Baltimore and Ohio trains through
Oakland have been running from three
to four hours behind schedule because
of many miles of tracks which were
washed out by the flood waters be-
tween Salem and Cairo, w. Va.
Through trains are being routed from
Parkersburg to Grafton by round
about ways.
JEANNE Hickman, attending camp
at Jackson's Mill, five miles below
Weston, was marooned along with
about 240 other persons during the
high waters which surrounded the
area, but campers were in no danger.
A number of nearby farm people
sought refuge there.
Largest loss of life occurred at
Smithburg, and West Union areas.
Water at West Union rose at the rate
of IT inches a minute and struck
that section about 3 o'clock in the
morning, trapping many people in
their homes which later were washed
away.
There was a heavy rainfall here
Saturday night but streams were only
slightly affected.
