LOSSES PROM THE FLOODS
Tbo Rock Island was 0 heavy sufferer
from tho floods nnd tho damage is not
yet repaired. Tho first damngo enmo
when a section of tho track washed out
near Nnni Visa, No. 1 was passing over
the track when it commonccd to give
way. Tho train was cut in two and tho
engine and two cars proceeded to Nnrn
Visa whore word was wired to Dalhart
ahout tho predicamont. This was re
paired and trains wcro running west by
Sunday. Tho great loss occurred rait
when tho bridgo over tho Reaver in
Oklahomn and tho two Arknlon bridges
wont out. No trnlna were nblo to cross
tho Heaver until yesto' .ay morning nnd
it will bo a day or two before trains
will bo crossing tho Cimarron at Arkn
lon. Tho wholo Cimarron valley was
0110 big river three-fourths of a mile
wido nnd twenty-five fret drop. The
Hook Tslnnd dump between tho two
bridges was swept clean. A section
man lost his life by drowning Tuesday
whllo at work at Arkalon. nnd Wednes
day flic boilios of four poopln were tnk
mi from tho water by tho work orows.
Tliey wore supposed to have eomo from
twenty miles up tho river.
Like the Hock Tslnnd the Denver hnd
trouble on both sides of Dnlhnrt and for
n time the town was cut oft" from com
munication each way. North of Dal
hnrt several hundred feet of Denver
roadway washed out. The Canndinn
river bridge went out ns usual at flood
time, some sixty spans this time. The
bridge was rebuilt nnd trnins running
by Wednesday night. Denver trains
wore detoured over tho Rock Tslnnd
via Tucnmcnrl to Atnarillo.
Hock Islnnd through freights were
operated over tho Santa Pe ivhlle local
train wore operated from duymon on
west. The Denver only opcrntod one
through train each day via Tucumcari
and turned N.o. 8 back hero as No. 7.
ITartlcy county lost tho steel bridgo
across Rita Tilancn canyon south of
town and tho itocl bridgo ncross Choy
enno draw three miles cast of Chen
ning. Commissioner MncArnary hnd flvo
teams at work Wednesday along tho
canyon picking up tho remains of tho
bridge nnd hauling them ltnck to the
old stnnd.
Dallam county lost tho cement road
way recently constructed ncross Porlco
draw and which was thought Invinci
ble. The wutor pouring nndor tho rail
way bridge plowed into the snnd nnd
undermined tho roadway. Its grout
weight caused it to sag and break and
then the dnmage was done. Dig (dabs
of concreto wero neon half n mllo below
tho road.
The wagon bridgo north of Amnrillo
over tho Cnnndian went out Frldny.
This Is the first tlmo this bridge was
over ofTccted by flood waters. A bond
election will probably bo held nnd steel
Btrueturo put in by Potter county. A
tonipornry stnicturo will do sorvlco for
tho present. This bridgo Is an absolute
necessity if the Colorndo to Gulf routo
is traveled this summer, or if people
from north of tho Canadian get to Am
arlllo by automobile.
All told tho flood cost tho railroads
and north Panhandle country thousands
of dollars. Dalhart Toxnn.
