TEXAS FLOODJTAYS HAIIOC
Many Trains Held Up As Texas Lines
Are Washed Out — Engineer
Killed In Wreck
San Antonio, Texas. — With the
known list of dead standing at forty
recently, police officials still believe an
estimate of two hundred and fifty lives
lost as a result of the disastrous Rood,
which struck this city recently, to be
conservative. No attempt has been
made to estimate tho property, damage,
but it is certain to run into millions
of dollars.
Because of the continued swollen
condition of three streams which
caused the flood, the work of recover
ing bodies is progressing slowly. Great
piles of driftwood which have lodged
in trees and against bridges, when
removed, it is feared, will reveal ad
ditional dead. Many bodies also are
believed to have floated down stream
and may never be accounted for.
Relief work and sanitary precautions
are well under way. A thoroughly or
ganized relief committee has begun
caring for flood victims and health
officers are engaged in a rigid clean
up of the city.
Reports coming, from outlying sec
tions confirm the fear that the flood
is the worst in the city’s history. The
streets in some instances have been
swept clean —- almost, their entire
length. Houses in the southern part
of the city were lifted from their foun
dations and piled one upon another,
or, In some cases, driven entirely
through adjoining buildings. Dead an
imals line the banks of the streams.
The flood waters from the Sap An
tonio river and from Alazan creek
and small tributaries inundated an
area approximately two miles long by
one-half mile wide, including the heart
of the business section and part of
the residence section along River ave
nue and adjacent streets as well as
the thickly populated west side, where
thousands of Mexicans are homeless,
and the dead not yet counted.
Such structures as the Brady build
ing, Wolff and Marx department stores,
Stowers, St. Mary’s church school
buildings,- the St. Anthony hotel, the
Elks club, formerly the Travis club,
several hospitals, the Central Tele
phone exchange, the city hall and po
lice and fire headquarters and count
less other structures along the low-
lying river valley were in the path
way of the flood.
League Gets Down To Work Shortly
Geneva, Switzerland.—With the dis

of this period is expected to come on

Mall Shipments For Magazines Oct. 1
Washington.—Starting October 1 the
postoffice department will re-establish
the practice of shipping all monthly,
