CANADIANS DOUBT

That people who have never seen
the Round-up are Incredulous about
the stories of the doings at the big

Flora Severson of High River, Al
berta.
In a letter to her relatives in Pen
dleton Mrs. Severson tells of the ap-
ptarance of the Round-up pictures
in High River, the pictures being
brought there from Winnepeg. The
show was witnessed by a large audi
ence and all took keen Interest in
the events. But when the film re
vealed Buffalo Vernon in his fantous
bulldogglng stunt, holding the steer
down by his teeth, a man in the au
dience shouted: ,
"That's alright for you to tell us
Canadians, but show us. Xo Yankee

in Australia. Xew Zealand, Tasmania
and other islands of the south Pa
cific. He was there during the sum
mer season in the southern hemis
phere and returning as he does just
at the beginning of our present sum
mer will have the novel experience of
passing through two summers in dl
eet succession.
"There is some good scenery to be
seen In Xew Zealand and it is inter
esting also to observe the conduct of
public utilities under the government.
I was out particularly as a sightseer
and took most pleasure in viewing the
wonders of Xew Zealand and Austral
ia. Among other places I visited the
German group of caves in Australia,
the most famous caves in the world.
They are located 100 miles west of
Sidney, in the Blue mountains."

OVER 60.000 SUFFERERS
New Orleans, May 7. Two thou
sand persons are huddled together
along the levees in various parts of
Louisiana today, waiting to be res
cued. Relief is being hurried to the
threatened sections and every avail
able craft has been requisitioned.
Refugees are making their headquar

where they have been housed in
schools and churches. Food has been
distributed to 60,000 sufferers In
Louisiana alone.
Saint Sophia levee, forty miles be
low Xew Orleans broke at noon.
With a two hundred foot gap, the sec
tion hitherto considered safe is be
ing flooded.
The flood situation continues threat
ening, but there were no reports of
breaks in the levees and the engi
neers who are directing the thousands
of laborers in the fight again express
ed hope for victory.
Tard rains fell all along the river
as far north as Torras. In the face
not count for much in the battle
of these conditions today's labor did
against the ever riling flood stage.
The situation in Xew Orleans, not
withstanding the heavy rains, is said
to be more reassuring, though the
danger of levee trouble along stretch

In the vicinity of the big plant of the
American Sugar Refining company

Further precautions were taken by
the Xew Orleans levee board and city
officials to guarantee the quick clos
ing of gaps in the Xew Orleans pro
tection levees above the city.
Water from the Torras crevasse

"In Xew Zealand the government
owns and operates the railroads, tele
phone and telegraph lines and renders
very good service. Of course the rail
road lines are not of a class with those
in America because the traffic Is lighc

and there is no uniformity about the
width of tracks."
Asked as to how he enjoyed his trip
Mr. Daniels said that he had a pleas
ant tour and his only complaint was
against the English system of cook
ing he encountered during a large
part of his absence- The English sys
tem he declares, provides many
courses and little to eat. The minla
ture mutton chops with which he was
provided much of the time did not
satisfy his eastern Oregon appetite
and he fell off 2 pounds during his
trip.
