MUSKOGEE, Okla., May 25.—Not
a railroad In Oklahoma la In opera
tion aa a result of heavy rains and
cloudbursts that have occurred In
varloua parts of the state during the
past three days. The last road to
suspend operations was the Missouri
Kansas A Texas, which was forced to
quit at noon today, when the bridge
on the main line at Eufaia went
down.
To add to the disaster, the main
supplying natural gas to the Indian
territory part of the state was carried
away with the Clarksville bridge
late today, and the supply or gas for
Muskogee and several other towns
In the southeast part of the state has
been entirely cut off. Officials of the
gas company say It will be a week
before repairs can be made so that
the gas supply can again be carried
As natural gas Is used for light and
heat, business will be suspended in a
measure. Elevators have been forc
ed io stop runnlug and hotels and
restaurants have practically been put
out or business.
During the past ten hours there
has been a rainfall of 20 Inches m
this section of the state. The pre
vious fall during the past three days
of more than ten Inches contributed
to the damaging Hood. The Chica
go, Rock Island A Pacific railroad
suspended operations Haturday, when
a mile of Its tracks In the Seminole
country was washed away. The
St. Louis A San Francisco did like
wise early today, and soon afterward
the Valley and the Missouri, Okla

ness. The last train over the Mis
souri, Kansas 4 Texas was No. 4.
northbound, which crossed the Cana
dian river at 10 o'clock this morn
ing. Twb hours later the bridge
went out. The Oler on the same
road la safe, but No. 6, northbound,
Is In a washout south of Eufaia.
Doxena of bridges on these rail
roads went out today. The Canadian
river rose ten feet during the last
13 hours, and the Arkansas eight
feet. The entire country Is under
water. Late this afternoon a mes
sage was received st the Midland
Valley railroad offices here from
Jenks, Okla., saying that the town
was under water and that help was
needed. The railroad Is powerless to
send aid. as much track and a bridge
went out early. Jenks Is 52 miles
north of Muskogee and Is located
In extremely low country. It Is fear
ed that a number of persons may
have perished.

Tbo man who hud been keeping bis

women, spoke at last to the woman
banging on to n strap and who bad

"1 know I ought to get up and let
you huve my seat, madam," he said,
"but I'm pledged against that sort of
thing. 1 have Just Joined the 'Sit Still
club,' an organization we have formed
in Harlem, and If 1 should violate the
solemn obligation I took when 1 be
came a memlier of that body I should
be expelled and held up to the execra

woman. "You mustn't mind my look

PACIFIC ELECTRIC IRON
The Best by Actual Test
Several years' severe test has proven the Pacific electric iron to be not o
the most perfectly practical, but the most economical and highly satisfacto
electric iron on the market.
There Are No Comebacks
The Pacific iron is guaranteed for one year. This guarantee holds good wh
the irons are used 10 hours a day. With ordinary care in the household the
cific iron WILL LAST A LIFETIME.
Pacific Irons are Renewable
Should the iron for any reason or other burn out in the course of one year
five years, the heating element may be renewed with little trouble and without del
The iron is then as good as new.
Thousands of Pacific irons are now in use in Spokane homes and words of pr~
are spoken on every hand in favor of this wonderful labor saving device.
THE PHESS PUBLISHING CO. STANDS BACK OF EVERY PACI
IRON PUT OUT BY IT AS A PREMIUM.
ECONOMY
The patent plug which transmits the current to the iron is instantly remov
enabling the operator not only to regulate the heat perfectly, but effect an eco
in the cost of operation. This feature also makes it possible to carry the heated
about, away from electric fixtures. Then it reheats in three minutes, which is
an economy of time.
CONCENTRATION
Without impairing the heat in the body of the iron, extra heat is concentra
the point just where it is needed for getting into jeorners. This invaluable inp
ment is made possible by our patented system of winding the "Pacific electric ir
Its invention was all that was needed to make the "Pacific electric irons" absol
perfect.
This is exclusively a "Pacific electric" feature. It makes difficult tucked
ruffled ironing easier by delivering the extra heat to the point and greatly inc
ing the iron's all-around efficiency.
SAFETY
A stout brass rest, screwed on firmly to the heel of the iron, allows it to be p
upright when not in use, with the heated body a safe distance from the surfa
the ironing board. Even if the current is accidently left on and the iron b
burning hot, there is no fire danger.
Perfect cleanliness is also assured, as the face never touches anything bu
work. No repeated rubbing on paper to clean the face.
ADAPTABILITY
Another valuable -use of the "Pacific electric iron" is its conversion i
miniature stove, which can be used for heating water and keeping food warm,
convenient in ease of sickness.
The convenience of hot water at any time can not fail to recommend the
