PAILT CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON, TUESDAY, MAT 13, 1913. PAGB T3&BX Daughter of J. 0. Battcy, of Salem, Writes Him Some Little Details of the Big Storm. The following letter taken from the Decorali Republican, Iowa, was written by Mrs. Edna Battey Holmes, a daugh ter of Mr. Z. C. Battey, of this city, giving her experience in the Paduca ilood. 1'adueah, Ky., April 10, 1013. Your most welcome letter came yes terday and I was truly glad to got it as we hare had no mail since the water came up but I believe most of the trains are running now. I hardly know whore to begin in describing to you what we have been through, but it has been a gieat experience and one I do Jiot care to repeat. To begin with, I had some sort of a nervous spell the first of March when I could neither sleep nor eat and could lardly walk. I just lay around and I ouia naruiy raise my bands to my head, though I had neither an ache nor a pain. Well, just when we all thought I was nearly done for, the flood warn jngs began to be issued and we were told to get ready for the greatest flood Paducah had ever known. Of course, the t'ity official ridiculed the idea and the papers took the ground that Ta dueah was "high and dry and un afraid," as tho News-Democrat ex pressed it. Mr. Holmes said it would iut hurt us, but Jlury had better move in, which she did, and put tho cows across the street, and for a few days we thought wo wero all right. Of course. I began to brnco up at once; all 1 needed probably was a little exercise Then the water began to come, and I lave never seen such an awe-inspiring spectacle. It just rolled in and in, closer and closer and covered tho alley and Mary 's fences and then her stables, caught our lower chicken houses and kept a coming. Then last Monday af ternoon over a weok ago, Mr. Holmes came home about 3 o'clock to toll us to liustlo things upstairs as the greatest volume of water ever seen here would strike that night. 'Ho brought a lot of juen and put everything up on scaffolds and carried all the lighter things up stairs. We worked all night and then lie left ns as he had to live at the work: began to get so strong that I could 'all bathed and walked on a dry floor. hardly keep my feet. Finally I waded up to Uncle Jim Gray's and hired his lot to put them iu, carried them all there ami the next day they were sur rounded by water, but had a little dry place to stand aud have been there ever since. WANT AD HOROSCOPE May 13. I have complained of many things, but now I;think of the floor will just be dry I will be perfectly happy. One day when I was wading to the" drv lot through the alley with a large fat hen in each arm, Mrs. Bell came out aud Mary has had au equally hard ! said, "Oh, Mrs. Holmes, ain't you tune with her cows and now they are j wet f ' and 1 said ,"Xo, how would I on the front porch.

Paducah from being washed out of ex- ' 1 istbnee. When you see any statement in the papers that Paducah was not in jured, it is just plain lies and I would like to destroy the News-Democrat and the Sun for their misrepresentations. They have tried to prevent any reports of the flood getting out and the city council forbade any photographs being taken or any telegrams being sent out and all such nonsense. The actual, truth is that there are thousands of homeless people in Padu cah and many hungry ones. There are hundreds of families in the school hous es and factories. Business, of course, has been at a standstill as it was im possible for people to shop or for things to be delivered. The most of the whole sale houses are under water and there are hundreds of founds of eatables washed out and floating on the streets. The water is falling a little now and is off our floors, but just level with the second Btep of our porch. When it was deepest, it was just below my shoulders' at our back door. We have had plonty to eat, tut nothing fresh, of courso, as there was no plaeo to buy any, though Mr. Holmes made several foraging ex peditious in his boat. Tho water plant has been operated right along and Mr. Holmes had worked day and night. Ono of the water company owners told him benevolently that he deserved great credit, and Mr. Holmes told him it was not credit he wanted, but cash. I don 't know whether I can give you any idea of the depth of the water ex cept by Baying that row boats came right into our house and tied to our stair post, that gasoline launches were running all over town and that steam- A person of this birthday has a wonderful power of concentration of thought and energy. These people make excellent nurses, surgeons and physicians. They are strong willed and inclined to be stub born and indulge in tempers. The only way to get along with a person of this birthdate, who has un governable fits of anger, is to walk away and leave them utterly alone.

It ia suggested that the O. A. C. manager decidod his lads would have no show against the Washington boys. WILL TRY TO OUST O. A. O. FROM CONFERENCE University of Washington, Seattle, May 13. Incensed over tho attitude displayed by Dr. E. J. Stowart, athletic director of tho Oregon Agricultural col lege, members of Washington's track team, hendod by Captain Claire Bow man, will attempt to havo O. A. C. ojectod'from tho Pacific Northwest intereo'lcginto conference. Washington was u-hedulod to moot O. A. d In track ovonts yesterday at Corvallis, but because of Dr. Stewart's alleged attempt to "railroad" his on tiro squad into tho events, despite a verbal agreement to allow each insti tution 12 men, the meet was called off. "This roecnt action or Dr. Stowart caps tho climnx," said Captain Bow man yostordny. "Nearly evory insti tution in tho conforenco is complaining of tho treatment accorded thorn at Cor vallis. Mnmliors of tho athletic team at tho University of Oregon havo as sured us that they will back us in our offortB to have O. A. C. ojoctod from the conference, provided that Institu tion does not make some radical chang es regarding treatment of visiting ath letic teams." "(.'orvullis was surprised to see lis on Saturday," said Dr. D. C. Hall, track conch and physical director, "aud tho first thing Stewart did was to de clare that ho was going to ontor his en tire squad. Ho said that ho did not care for ITio meet, but merely wanted a workout In preparation for his engage ment with Oregon.
