Dam Broke and Flooded
Valley in the Night.
Warning Was Given Residents of
Eagle River Canyon But
Property Loss Great.
GLEN WOOD SPRINGS, Nov. T. Hun
dreds of settlers along th Kagl River
Canyon and lower down In the valley had
a narrow escape from death last night,
when they were warned barely in time
to permit of their making their escape
from the very forefoot of a giant flood
that swept down upon them from the
broken dam at PanUe,.
The mighty wall of water tor down
along the valley and swallowed horses,
cattle, farm houses and every article of
husbandry and civilisation that came
within Its path. There may have been
human lives lost, but It is not believed
this was the case, as the warning, al
though It preceded the avalanche of
hurtling debris but a short time, was am
ple to permit of the inhabitants escaping
to higher ground, never very far from th
homes. -
The dam was used to conserve water for
Irrigation purposes. FrOm the giant reser
voir thus formed ditches led into the val
ley below. The dam waa th result of
months of toll and the expenditure of
many thousands of dollar. All this will
be a total loss. Fortunately crops had
been harvested, and, with the exception
of some slight produce that was stored,
there will be no losses ot this nature.
A cloudburst near the head of Eagle
River was responsible for the bursting of
the dam, which had been tested and de
clared perfectly safe. The water banked
up behind it until the concrete and sand
could not stand the strain and gave way.

bing houses, which have been handling
both Independent and combine goods con
fine ih. ir stocks to only the non-combine

The local cigar dealers, some 18,000 In
number, will be approached and asked to
handle nothing, but "Independent cigars.
A directory of clirnr dealers' names will
be complied, a distinction boing made'be-
tween those, who sell Independent Roods
and
those who handle N the combine
ciaars.
i ne biggest part of the fight will be
fought In this city at the start, and rep

TO IMPROVE STREETS
Work to Be Began, on East Morri
son Next Week.
Th work t raplanklng East Morrison
street, from East Water street to Union
arena, will begun, according to John
-. Boarkey. th Utter part of next Weak.
At th last toaettng of tbe city council,
Mr. Sharker, h .!' fnunrtlman from
the Ninth, Ward, succeeded In getting an
appropriation of I860 for that purpose: .
According to th estimates of City En
gineer Elliott, It will take 83.000 feet of
lumDer to camplet the work, exclusive
or that whleh will have to bo done by
in city Suburban Company.
"Thls,:.atd Mr. Sharkey, " is the first
instance In which the city has appropri
ated money for th improving of th
property of Individuals. East Morrison
streets being th main artery of travel
" I . UU T I t L a.uw I v u
river, makes th expense of keeping up.
me ievatea roadway at this point very
heavy, and more - than the property will
bear. The street was replaced a couple
of years ago by the property owners,
and they do not feel that they can stand
the expense at this time.
"Furthermore," continued Mr. Sharkey,
"th property owner have already be
gun the work of filling In the street with
earth. Th work would nave been fin
ished at this time If they bad not been
aisappointea in the securing of soma
earth from excavations on the West
Bide.
O.0QO YARDS TO FILU
"It will take tO.OOO yards of earth to flu
the street, a third ot which has already
been deposited. Th property owner as
sure m that th'y will continue the work
of filling next Spring, and expect to com
plete) It ready tor uso.ln about 11 month.
"If w had not secured this appropria
tion. East Morrison street would have
bad to be fenced Up In av few days. ' Then
all th trafflo which usually crossed that
bridge will be , thrown- to the Madlaon
and Burnsid Street bridges. It would
be Impossible to use the Morrison street
structure at all. Th roadway leading
to th Madison Street bridge is already
unaaf.
EAST SIPE TO BOOM
Councilman Sharkey Says Things
Will Ham in That Section.
John P. Sharkey, council mail of the
Ninth Ward, is a firm believer In that
eotioa of tha city, as a residence and
business jieotton. o i
According to Mr,'. Sharkey, the East
Bide W1H reoalva a much larger boom
commencing next year than ever in her
history.
"Altough I am pot at liberty to divulge
everything at present. I will say, bow
ever, that the granting of that franchise
to the Oregon Water Power & Railway
Company wa on f the best things
that the city council has ever done for
the East Side.. I am firmly convinced
that . hater many years hav passed
practically all of th elevated road
ways will be filled in and substantial
bultdfncs erected: A'
PRF.DICTS MANY FACTORIES.
"Th touts of th Ofegon Water Power
at Railway Company's track on ' the river
will be filled with many factories and
employing many thousands of working
hands. I would like to tell you all about
It, but am not at liberty to do so Just
yet."

Th danger la especially great In th

Tenants In th district hay applied to
th property owners in vain to Improve

Th Oremea say that they cannot afford
to risk their live by driving over a
dilapidated street1 In order to save a
few moments' time. "We can get there
surer and quicker by walking our teams?'
aald one of the East Side drivers yester

destroyed by walking the firehorses, to
