FERRY SERVICE E Plans to change the run of tho Ferry Transit between EastBldo and Mnrshlleld to furnish bettor nccom modiitlous to travel aro on foot and It is expected that something dell nlte will bo done within 11 fow days. Tho Idea Is to havo tho Transit ply from a more central placo In tho city of Marshfleld to n landing moro convenient to tho residents of Enst sldo. Talk Is to have a now land ing built at Market. Commercial or Central avenuo or at tho mouth of mill slough, nt the end or Curtis avenuo, hero and to hnvo tho ferry ply to a landing at Unstable oppo site tho Smith mill nt tho mouth of Isthmus Inlet. The latter landing would bring tho Terry trafllc nearer tho mnln portion or tlio two towns. In addition to this, tho plan Is to hnvo tho Transit moko occasional landings near tho Nairn Smith's slip nt tho Smith mill nnd then carry tho workmen at the mill, who llvo In central or north Marshilold to and rrom work. Thoro Is a largo num ber of mon. This plnn would eliminate tho long plonk walk from EaBtsldo to tho preBont ferry landing. Howovori tho long plank wnlk has been a bane of peoplo in rainy and windy weather so that tho cluingo would bo wel comed by nil. Tho plunk walk or brldgo wns built along In 18U0 by prlvnto par ties, who woro booming Eastsldo, and was lator turned over to tho county, Tho county commissioners hnvo advertised for bids to rebuild tho plunk brldgo and will open them April 8. . , , It Is understood that Judgo John F.

Wlillo tho change would mean a llt tlo longer run, tho ferry could keep up Its present schedule, tho only dlfforenco being that the rorry would bo running moro or tho tlmo nnd would not bo tied up nt tho slip so long botweon trips.

Sovo tho Ohio River Valley, whore conditions aro Increasing In seriousness, news iccolvod enrly todny rrom tho Hood ed nren was distinctly encouraging. Whllo tho loss or lire In tho Hood swept districts or Indiana and Ohio Is appalling, tho latost roports Indi cate that It will not reach Incompre hensible totals, which every fact ob tainable tended to warrant. Two thousand Is now tho flguro at which the loss of lire In Dayton Is placed. If tho examination of tho Hooded districts In tho contral portion of town Is an indication or what will bo round on tho north sldo, tho loss or lire may drop to a much less flg uro. The north side, however, is in habited largely by foreigners, who Ignored tho warning to cBcnpo. Horo it Is feared tho loss of llfo hns been great. Lato roports rrom Peru do not In dicate that tho loss ot llfo will fall below 150 and It may go consider ably over that, In Indlnnapolls half a scoro are known to bo dead and It may bo that tho numbor may run to 200, though this is not llkoly. Hamilton estimates Its loss at 100. Plqua, whenco startling roports of loss of llfo emanated Wednesday, os caped with less than a half a bun dled. In Chllllcotho, tho estimates run from 215 to 100.
