MISSISSIPPI FLOODS MAKE
MANY ODD FRIENDS
Dog Saves Rabitt Moccasin I
Snakes Too Tired to Strike
Deer Invade Refugee Camps
Flood perils along the Missis
sippi made strange bedfellows,1
according to J. T. Saunders,
freight trafic manager for
Southern Pacific, who has just
returned! from the flooded area.
A railway brakeman standing
on the rear plutform of one
of the last trains to move thru
the high water near Brinkley,
Arkansas, saw a dog struggling
and swiming thru the flood
holding something in its mouth;
Oaining a pile of driftwood the
dog drew itself out of the water
gently set down a . young rabbit.-
and the two huddled together
awaiting their fate.
In Louisiana, deer and fawn
flocked into refugee camps
where they were fed and even
made pets by the children.
Section men sandbagging the
bridge-ends and tracks ran into
many water moccasins that had
taken refuge between the rails.
The snakes so tired from battl
ing the waters that they did not
even attempt to strike.
"The railroads have been in
valuable in their. work of relief
in the stricken district," said Mr.
Saunders. Thousands of railroad
men have worked night and day
without rest and sometimes at
peril of their lives not' only to
rescue refugees, but also to pro
tect as much as was humanly
possible. "

New Law Designed to Remedy Con
dition Visitor Comment Upon
Disregard of Road Law
"The most dangerous situation
facing the motorist today is the glar
ing headlight and spotlight," said A.
E. Shearer of the Oregon State Mo
tor association. "Visitors from all
coast states comment upon the dan
gerous condition . ... attending; night
driviny in Oregon.
"The last two,, sessions of the
Legist u re have atttempted to correct
this evil and the second effort be
came a law only few days ago.
"There is a decided difference of
opinion as to the advisability and
efficiency of the law as passed by
the. 1925 session, and as a conse
quence it was not enforced and mo
torists disregard It. The law passed
by the last legislature is one which
all authorities agreed and it is highly
desirable and this law will be eforc
ed by all law enforcement agencies.
"Night driving in Oregon has been
given a bad name in neighboring
states but if the present law is en
forced, this condition should rapidly
be remedied."
