It. was expected this morning 'that'many bodies would be recov ered 'today in Grove, the low dis trict lying south of the river, and where the greatest loss of life is reported. These predictions were not borne out, however. The water baa not left all parts of tnjg district and It has not yet been thoroughly searched. Rata again began falling this - afternoon and J. E. Moorheod, peraoaal representative of the governor, made the paradoxical statement that it waa a blessing to the stricken city. IteMcuo Work )-NlematJzed While the list of known dead grows slowly several reports to undertakers Indicate that other recoveries may be made when the waters recede further. W. 11. McKIm of the McKim undertak ing parlors, said today that ho1 had received a report that 16 bodies had been washed up at a place five miles east, known as the Moroney farm. His men have located three bodies at Halt Creek, south of the city, but can not recover them, he said. The bodies of a woman and girl have been located near the Colorado and Southern bridge but cannot be recovered and several in Grove cannot yet be removed, he said. -- Rescue and, reconstruction work -la- being systematized under the direction of -Colonel Patrick llarrock, adjutant general of the state, and chief in command of the military. The city has been divided into wards and physi cians and nurses assigned to the various wards to tare for the emergency ceaes and to instruct the residents in proper sanitation precaution during the abnormal conditions.

Scenes of desolation were re vraled this afternoon when th- falling of the waters of the Ar kansas river from the Grove dis trict of the city permitted a close up Of this section, which suffered mo!jt in the flood of Friday nteht. Residents of the district, most ly foreigners, were at work this afternoon retrieving what they could of their household effects. Some ar planning to go back to their homes immediately. The Grove is one of the jioor sections of Pueblo. Little of thi distr.-ct is more than a foot above the river banks, and that the waters swept across the settlement with great violence Is shown by bouses swept from their foundations and a freight car lodged more than 300 yards from any railroad tracks. Loss of life in the Grove district has not approached early predictions. Froni its position the loss should no't have been great had the peo ple taken warnings, but many re fused to leave their homes until the water had rushed in upon them, CorpKCft Found. An important part of the sal vage today was sacks of mail. These were recovered from all parts of the yard, gathered in piles and hauled by ropes from the railroad yards to viaducts and taken to the postoffice. Another peculiar recovery In the yards was a corpse, carried by the flood from an uptown un dertaking establishment. It was the body of Gordon Rennie. sent here from California for burial. The body of Mrs. Sardgena. sent here from Trinidad, was also washed away during rbe flood and later recovered In its casket. which was Intact.

FIRST FRUIT RECEIVED (Continued from pae 1) The strawberries have ripened well, and promise to make i heavy crop. The littl- rain yester day will help the berries some what: it wasn't heavy enough really to soak the soil, but it will help Rome. Gooseberries are practically ready for th market. Some hav; been picked and are waiting lor the canneries to open. Others- will be picked this week. They kee.-) longer, --ither on or off the bushes than the soft fruits, and there ha. been little need of rushing them to the market. The quantity. lo.j. is small enough that no long run can be made on them, and they are postponed until tlr-re is some thing els to reinforce them from the factory point of view. Sugar Decliuc Helps. Sugar declined 35 cents a sack last week, contrary to every ordi nary possibility of business. The shrewd canners who took advan tage of this drop, are in luck that may not come again this season. Old-time canning factory em ployes are warned that the season is not yet fully on, and that the factories can not reasonably be expected to call for full crews. Th first runy are expected to be small, as the sales condition is still unsetflei. and the market has not indicated what it -will be for next year. No Offers Made. The growers' price agreement reached at th" fruitgrowers' meet ing at Woodl urn Saturday it was hoped would bring early, definite offers from the buyers. The glow ers set a low price on their prod ucts, with the idea of making cer tain sales. Telephone advice from Woodhurn last night was t' the effect that no acceptances have as yet been made, though the Puyallun company, that has some old contracts around Wood burn, is taking all the berries grown by these contractors at Un agreed prim. The price and con ditions under which the Salem canneries are to receive berries are not ev?n yet made public, ex cept that it is anuounced that th Producers' company takes them on a cooperative basis from mem bers only. Ktrsiwberics Way Down. Strawberries sold in Salem Mon day as low as T cents a box, by growers who brought their prod uct to town and found no cannerv market open They were retailed from some stores as low as ' boxen for '2- rents. Whatever the grower may thin' the user is making the best of the situation, and many a liom-U eai ing stravberri"S now that la't year could hardly afford to look at the printeo laoels.

Rarey and Lyman but there will le 13 letter men back in the fall to form a nucleus for a team. Some of these letter-holders will have to fight hard to hold places against some of the newer men already in the training squad, and there are many chances for stars from high schools and lumber camps and mines and farms to drop in like a grizzfy bear on a rabbit Sunday ic.hool.
