THE COOS BAY TIMES, MARSHFIELD, OREGON, MONDAY, APRIL 28, 1913-EVENING EDITION. DDRSEY KRE1TZER RECEIVES GRAPHIC STORY DAYTON FLOOD LETTER FROM MOTH Kit OK MAHSHKIKLD HANK CASHIER TELLS AX INTERESTING AXI thrilling htohv or TIIKIIl EXPERIENCE IX GRKAT CATAS TROPHE. Doraoy Kreltzor toilny received a number of photuerapliH of the Day ton Hood, two or tlireo dozen pliotoB Hraphtcnlly telling the story of the disaster that wordB can never toll. The Hood reached even Kreatur pro portions that the nowspapur accounts Indicated. Mr. Kreltzor, ft Tow days uko, received ft letter from his fa ther In which he stated that If a direct attempt to destroy the busi ness section of Dayton hnd been mnde, It could not linvo been more completely accomplished. Ho said that some merchants had lost every thing they had. The work of re construction Is underway and Is pro gressing nH rapidly as might bo ex pected. Mr. Kreltzer has Just received a letter from hlu mother In which she tolls of the direful experiences In the Hood. The Kreltzer home Is com modious brick one and was In no ilaneer of being Bwept away. She writes: "I am glad this morning that 1 have the privilege of once more writing you n few lines, after pas- , sing through such a terrible crisis, and I hope and pray Mint you win never meet wltu sucli a rate. "I think that father and I hnvc borne im remarkably well and espec tally father, exposing himself so much In the water and ruin. They have been clearing at the house and building a shed, for tho utable was n wreck. They havo never had less than live or six men on the Job and nomo days havo had as high iih nine teen or twenty. "There wero bovoii or eight Inches of mud on the Moor nnd In the cup board nnd everywhere In the house, and all that we did not get upstnlrs woh a total wreck. I will now try and give you n description of our ox perlonce on that dreadful morning "Wo had been having hiicIi hard rains on ICnstor Sunday nnd on Mon- day that water came up on Fourth utrcet to Chnrtcr street, nnd the street enro could not run on Third utreot, but that did not alarm us very much. Wo supposed that we would get some water In tho cellar and hnd prepared for that In the evening, but tliu llrst wo, know any thing was really wrong, wns nbout G o'clock In the morning. Father was upstalm Hhavlug when I heard the nru bell commence to ring and I be gnu to count nnd found that It was no lire number, nnd I told father that something wns wrong, as the bells were all ringing and tho wills tk'H wero all blowing. It sounded like New Veur'H night. "Father said, 'I expect the loveo Is broken,' so I went to the telephone nnd tried to get Information ami then tried to get Keplem over the Home phone but could get no one, so we wont down as soon as possible and started to carry up our lard and po tatoes out of the cellar. The water wuh Just starting to come up Into tlm cellar tlien. Ily that time fa ther hurried down and we started to carry tho thlngH up from tho cel lar. Wo carried the parlor furni ture upstnlra nil but tho piano nnd one of tho pieces that belonged to the pnrlor set, but wo left tho pictures ull hung for wo thought Hint the wuter would not ruinu mi that fur We set the.plano up on boxes and put his books up on the book-cases and wo piled things up as high as we could. "We then nto a little breakfast, but by that tlmo tho cellar wiih full of water, so wo hurried down and took up the dining-room rug, and took my china dishes out of the china closet and put them In the cupboard and took tho china closet upstairs and nil of tho dining room chairs. Ily thnt time It was com ing In on the dining room floor, so wo took what little wo had to eat uud anything we could grab nnd went upstulrs. Tho water kept raising until ubout 12 o'clock Tuesday night, when It Just lacked the height of one step of the second floor. Father and I wore on a coiitlnuul watch Tursdav night. Father took tho railing off of tho hack stairway and with that we tried, from the upstairs window, to keep drift wood and pieces from striking the windows be low. The Hood Just lifted the shut tors off their lilngurt and swept them nway. Hewitt Arnold's front porch floated by. "Wednesday morning w(. nto raw potatoes ami some cereal that fa ther brought up stairs. Wednesday afternoon, they brought us a loaf of bread and uome canned be.ins. Then It turned cold nnd snowed and with llros burning in buildings all around ub. It was Just horrible. We could not find out just where the tiros wero i.ud the iilens only hnd a fow boats to work with until they built special ones, lu consequence, wo wero up stairs there In darkness and cold un til Friday morning. Keplers sent a boat for us Thursday afternoon hut 1 could not go then and would not go until father would. Finally ( Fri day morning they sent for us ngnln and I'earl (Mrs. Kepler) was about sick from worry. When we got over there where thero was no water and they had such a good warm house, I thought If thero was any place the next to heaven, It surely seemed like It there It was Bo nice uud warm and dry. "Of course they experienced a few inconveniences from tho Hood for awhile. They had to use coal oil lights and thoro was no gas. Thoy liad their coal range In tho busonient so thoy took the gas burner out and burned coke. Horn, limi in ,! n,.i,. cooking on their furuaco llres. Kep- lera filled tubs nnd every vessel they had before It was necessary to stop pumping. , "Oscar telegraphed us several times, from New York City, nnd could get no word so ho started Fri day night nnd got to ColumbUB by rail, then to spnngneia uy irncuun nnd from thero to Dayton by auto. Ho did not rench bore until Sunday nftomoon. He thought that maybe tho papers had exaggerated the situ ation but he now says they did not. No one could believe It who did not see the Hood. "Tho outsldo world know more about It than wo did for wo did not see n newspaper from Monday night until Saturday evening. "I don't know when wo will bo nble to got bnck home. Tho paper nil came off the wnlls, tho furnace Is partly down and the house Is so dninp thnt we cannot paper It right nwny. "This Is about as good ft descrip tion as I can give of it. I hope you are all well and hnppy. We are feeling pretty good under tlte cir cumstances." LI HHAHY NOTKS. Two yenrB ago tho most gifted of American psychologists published nn essay on tho "Second Wind,'" In which ho Btnted that wo all possess ed u sort of unlimited bnnk account upon which we could draw when it seemed as If wo hnd gone to tho limit of our powers. Hut this does not apply to fntlguo produced by physical overwork. It applies rather to mental work, to tho expenditure of spiritual energy. It Is because of Its contrast to Job jphlnu (loodmnrk's new book. "Fn Iguo nnd Efficiency," which has Just been added to the library thnt makes this same book of great In terest. It proves thnt fatigue Is n lulson, that the body Is stricken ly It as It would bu by a doso of arholle acid or arsenic, that bo 'iiuso fatigue Is a poison It makes nefflcient workmon, that persons ivcrworked mako less of tin output linn those who work less tlmo. In view of recent legislation hern In Oregon nnd the fact that Josephine joldmnrk helped make the brief and irgument with Louis D. Urnndlce In tho celebrated case of Curt Mil er vs. tho State of Oregon, this look Is of special Interest to Ore oiilans. Dealing with sociology, but more 'liimauly, less technically than "Fa Iguo and Efficiency." Is "Twenty Vonru of Hull House," by Jnno Ad lams, "the llrst citizen of Chlcn (o. Hull House Is n big, old-fash-'oued house, left stranded among encroaching tenements. Jnue Ad lauiB conceived tho Idea of living 'here and being a neighbor to the rent hordes of now citizens crowd ing round. She keeps open house. Tho boyB nnd girls meet thoro to dance, to hold clubs, to take part In theatricals; the older people for lec tures, for friendly tnlk on every Ming from how to get tho best milk 'or tho baby during the hot weather 'o electing the councilman for the ward, This book Is a story of this uclghborllncsB extending over a per iod of twenty years.
