CHANNEL TO PUEBLO
Incredibly swift is the rush of wntern
in the periodical floods that hnve he
come familiar to the older inhabitants
of Pueblo. Col., nnd dwellers in tin
lowlands overwhelmed by the flood ot
last Friday night, Saturday nnd Sun
duv .
This is due to the geographical con
tour of the region, in which the Arkan
sas River comes out of the mountains to
tho west of Pueblo by wny of Bojnl
Gorge, nnd splits the city in linlf, flow
ing eastward down through a teeming
valley famous for the Bocky Ford can
taloupes.
From the north, up beyond Colorado
Springs, the Fontaine de Ujiboulllci"""' """' "'" uMi.nri.T-.
Blver, shortened in locnl nnnienclntiin
to "Fountain." flows southward to meet
the Arkansas Iliver ju-t below the town. '
The original name of the Fountain1
menus "boiling wnter." At times in
I summer the bed of the river is almost
dry; at other times it is a roaring tor
rent, dangerous to surrounding property
and lives.
The Fountain and tlie Arkansas, too
nrc fed by scores of chnnnels which are
nothing more thnn powder-dry arroyns

The water seems to gather in n mighty

Generally there Is time to notify Hip
towns along the river of the appronch of

people, in the lowlands can move to
safety.
Without other warning than the wall
of the town "siren," which woke sleep

It Is said even this warning was not

Pueblo. Col.. June 0. (Hy A. P.)
A graphic story of the flood was given
to the Associated Press by M. J. A'al
ley. of Denver, n Colorado and South
ern Hnllroad engineer.
Valley wns mnrooncd by the flood
with four other men for twelve hours.
At one time his companions hnd to rub
his limbs nnd body to keep his blood in
circulation so unit no could stand nione.
"I had been in n garage with a friend,
to get his car," Valley said, "when the
flood wnters swept into tho garage.
Wp climbed into the car, then on top
of it.
"Tlie Hood waters reached us even
there, nnd we climbed into the second
floor of the building nnd when that be
came flooded we smashed a hole in the
roof nnd stepped out on It.
"Tlie vatet crept on us the.-" nnd it
lool.cil as if the building nug'it go. so
wp btepped out on n pile of debris which
had been stopped by telephone wires.
For th:te houi.s we stood then1 in (lie
rain and darkness which was lighted
up only by scrotal fires,
"Within tluce hours the Improvised
raft gave way and we climbed back onto
the garage, cutting n cable from the
telephone wires, and with the aid of
this got on tn a higher building.
"From here, and with the aid of the
cable, we rescued three men who were
being swept past us by the current.
"Houses were being swept down the
street past us. ninny of them with peo
ple Inside crying for help. I don't know
how tunny of them there were, or how
many of them csenped.
"Wp were rescued by n boat crew at
0 o'clock Saturday morning."
In the Union Garage one man wns
rescued Snturday. He hnd floated with
the flood to the ceiling of the -building
nnd hnd then pounded a, hole through
the roof big enough so that he could
stick ills head through nnd get air. The
water cnine within three Inches of tho

He could not say whether nny were

1 Kerns swam from Ills first plnrc of
refuge along the stream to n hotel
building, which wns flooded almost to
the second floor,
"I had to turn my head sideways to
get under the top of the doorway. I
stayed there nil night."
Out In the railroad yards, near the
State Hospital, the correspondent found
n freight conductor who- had slept In n
caboose throughout the flood.
"I didn't know there had been n flood
until I woke up Snturday morning nnd
found the floor of the caboose covered
with mud," he said. "I had heard the
rnin once or twice during the night as
it beat on the roof, but I rolled over ami
went back to sleep.
"In the morning I got up and went
out into tho yards. People were taking
bodies out from under the freight cars.
1 don't know how many there were.
They were jammed in between the
trucks and cars so tight thnt we could
hardly get them out."

You Can't Take Solid Steel Apart
The drawers in the GF Allstcel Cabinet fit into a frame of
steel welded into one solid piece no rivets or bolts being used.
I his means permanent rigidity. It is impossible for these
cabinets to get out of true in service. This construction of frame
means endurance.
Isn't that an astonishing price?

City to Do All Work
On Streets October 1
Continued from Tate One
It tnkes enre of nil the refuse of n city
of GOO.OOO people.
One of the heaviest Items of expense
to the contrnctor now Is the cartage
or hauling of ashes nnd rubbish to the
dumps. These distances nrc growing
longer every day ns the city expands.
Anyhow, dumps are obsolete.
The destructorlcs overcome this need
less expense. They do nway with the
long hauling. They abolish tho un
sightly dumps nnd they accomplish the
work.
Under tho contractor system the
mnlntcnnnce of these plantH was Im
possible. No contrnctor, bidding from
rear to year, could nfford to erect one.
The city nloue can do it.
Threo such planta are Included In the
department's plans for the future; ono
In West Philadelphia nnd two In the
northern part of the city. They will
not be ns costlv ns the Toronto plant,
however.
Two Interesting Features Develop
Two very Interesting features have
developed its the result of the city's
experiment In street cleaning nnd ash
collection. One Is that for short hnuls
liorse-drnwn vehicles arc more economi
cal thnn motortrucks. Tho second Is
that attempts at salvaging refuse from
the dumps for resale Ii unprofitable. It
1b cheaper to burn It.
A ccntrnl depot Is In contemplation
for the repair of wagons, trucks, sweep
pre, and varioui apparatus nnd tools.
Wheelwright and blacksmith shops and
n gcncrnl repnlr outfit nrc contem
plated. , ,
Such an establishment, it is esti
mated, will save the city thousands
annually.
Centralization will be the distinguish
ing feature of this new nnd improved
svstem of conducting the city's business.
