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.

ONE CONCERNS NATIONAL
BANK AND BELL PHONE
Plainview Mutual Aainst the
Pioneer Company Dismissed;
Nothing but Name.
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. The coni'dainant, the commis
sion savs. is nothing but a name, con
sisting of Hues owned by subscrib
ers.

m cose M SERVED
GREAT MEAL LAST NIGHT
Net a Single Miscue Happened
As Far As Could Be Seen
' Either.
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.
