FLOOD GUIS 75 Every Fresh Report Swells List of Known Drownings in Flood. MORE THAN HALF OF DEATH TOLL ARE NEGROES Water 18 Feet Deep in Busi ness Sections of Several Towns. (By United Press Association) Bryan, Texas, Dec. 6. Accounts pouring in of the fatalities of the Tex as floods raise the death toll to seventy-live definitely. Every fresh re port adds to the roll of the grim reap er, and reports have not yet been re ceived from all districts affected. The latest addition to the life toll includ ed ten llearnc, six Ilighbank, and eight Bryan residents. Of the dead half or more arc negroes. Anxiety is felt here and in Ilcarne for a number of residents who volun teered their services for rescue work and who have disappeared and have not been heard from. It is feared the boats used by them have capsized, drowning the occupants. Numbers of others cannot be accounted for, but the actual list of known deaths amounts to seventy-five. The Brazos river is swelled to a raging sea ten miles wide tor a dis tance of a hundred miles, upon the surface of which toss objects of every sort and description, pillaged by the storm and flood from every town and hamlet and remote corner in the val ley, borne along by the force of the rushing waters. Above the windows, pouring into the second floor of the business houses in several towns, the water records a height of 18 feet. From the far portions of the flood's reach the report comes that t'he wat ers are slowly receding but this has not been felt lower down as yet.

Yesterday the Oregon State Rail road Commission ruled in two tele phone cases of Linn county, and dis missed both complaints. They were the First National Bank against the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph company and the Plainview Mutual lelcphone Association against the Pioneer Mutual company. The complaint of the First Nation al Bank of Albany against the Paci fic Telephone & Telegraph Company was dismissed. The bank owns the telephone equipment in the building and asked the commission to compel the company to connect with it and furnish service. The commission ih clincd on the ground that the bank is not a nublie utility, and the commis sion has no jurisdiction over it. Holding that the Plainview Mutu al Telephone Association, which ask ed for a 'connection with the Pioneer Mutual company, is not a public util ity, the commission dismissed its com plaint.

To prepare, cool; and serve a meal may have been a hard task for some men, but it wasn't the least bit for the men of the First Presbyterian church, who served a supper last night to over 300 people. The purpose of the supper was to raise money through the sale of tick ets to pay off an assessment debt against tlie church on account of street paving. And the necess.iry sum was made with a little left over. It was a case of father serve moth er, for the women were not allowed to work Everything was done by the meen, from cooking to washing dish es. Men waiters, men cooks, men dish washers, men overseers and the men as far the casual observer was con cerned, did not make a single misctie. Many of the women looked as thougii they were on pins and needles, whe.i one of the mere men, came around to por coffee or pass the soup. It was a wonderful meal to say the least and the men deserve great credit. Tipping the waiters became so frequent that it had to be announced that it was pro hibited and a sign to that effect was posted.
