The defective paving on North Sixteenth
street war. disclosed by the councllmen at
the general committee meeting yesterday
afternron, but no BCtlon was taken with
reference to repairing the street. Oeorge
Helmrod appeared beforo tha committee
and urged that tho paving be repaid
without delay. Severn! members of the
council expressed the opinion tint tho
city should not bear tha expense of putting
the street In condition, but refused to
enter Into a discussion of the matter.
"If the property owners along North Six
teenth street fall to have the street repaved
and put In good condition It will b'u nec
essary to clobo the street to travel. It
Is dangerous In Its present condition,1
Councilman Zlmmnn remarked, In discuss
ing tho effort which Is being made to have
the pavement repaired Ht the expense of
the city. "The council is tired of put
ting In paving on Sixteenth street. Kvery
year It Is necessary to make a great out
lay to put tho struct In passable Condi
tion.
Up to the Property Oniirrk.
"Enough money has been spent by tho
city on that street, It Is tlmu for the
property owners to begin footing tho bills,
If they Insist In having tho old paling
patched up. Repairs on paving that Is so
far gone can be but temporary at best.
am having a resolution proparcd which pio-
vldes for uhuttlng up portions of Six.'
teenth street whero tho paving Ms in the
worst condition. Travel cannot contli.ue
on the street much longer. Somo action
must be taken to protect tho public."
It was suggested that tho salary of Chief
Salter of tho fire department be lncrcnscd
to $3,000 per year. Shortly before Chl?f
Itedell was removed from office his salary
was reduced to 2,000. At present Chief
Salter is receiving but $1,800, tho salary
ho received as assistant chief. City At
torney Connell advised that the salary of
Chief Salter bo allowed to remain ut the
old figure until after tha supremo court
has passed upon Judge Estollc's Injunction
preventing tho Hoard of Flro and Police
Commissioners .from Interfering with Chief
Itedell. The councllmen agreed to act upon
Mr, Council's suggestion.

Woman's Work in Club
The subject uppermost In the minds of
members of- the Young Women's Christian
association Is the annual conference at
Lake Geneva July 2 to 11, when the work of
the past year and tho year to come is to
be discussed by delegates and members
of 'tho associations of the middle states.
These.' nnnual meetings are one of the
great: bolps of the work. The associations
pt tho Pacific coast held their fourth an
nual meeting May 18 to 27. The seventh
''annual conference of tho southern states
opened In Ashevllle, S. C, Saturday and
wilt continue In session until July 1. The
eastern' states will have their meeting In
East Northftold, Mass., -July 12 to 22.
Among tho members of the Omaha asso
ciation who will leave .Monday .for Lake
Geneva are: Miss Helen Woodsmall,
physical director of the Omaha association;
Miss Margaret O'Connell, extension secre
tary; Miss Graco Lllllo and Miss Carrie
Graff.
The conference Is an admirable combina
tion of study, work and recreation and ha
always attracted n large attendance. At
8:30 o'clock there Is a general assembly
for morning prayer. This Is In a large
pavilion. At its conclusion the announce
ments for the day are made". Then comes
the morning's work. First 'there Is the
students.' conference, which will be presided
over this year by Miss Bertha Conde and
Miss Ruth Paxson. The leader first Intro
duces the subject and theii calls for ex
periences In various sections, other dele
gates being privileged to ask questions of
each representative. Miss, Paxson Is state
secretary' of Iowa and though- compara
tively young in the work Is considered one
of the r&ost promising secretaries. She was
one of the prominent speakers at the re
cent btnnUl convention In Nashville. She
Is well known In Omaha, where her sitter,

LIKES THE WEST END OF THE SYSTEM
Omaha Man Has Opportunity to Fill
I'lnce Made Vacant h- HeslKna
tlou of General MnnuKir
W, C. llrowii.
Upon the resignation of W. C. Brown,
general manager of the Chicago, Burling
ton & Qulncy lines In Iowa and Illinois
recently, Oeorge W. Holdrege, general man
ager of tho Burlington railroad west of tho
Missouri river, was offered the place, but
declined to take it. He said he preferred
his own district to that of either of the
other grand divisions of the system. The
Burlington, comprising the lines west of
the Missouri river, is the portion repre
senting the greater part of tho extension
work, Improvement and general railroad
growth, and It was this fact principally
which influenced Mr. Holdrege to hold his
present position.
General Manager Howard Elliott of the
Missouri lines also had an opportunity to
succeed Brown, but he also preferred the
berth he already occupies. Tho manager
ships of these three districts, the Chicago,
Burlington & Qulncy, tho Missouri lines,
Including the Kansas City, St. Joseph &
Council Bluffs road, and the Burllngtoa &
Missouri River, are positions of equal rank.
Nolther Mr. Holdrege, Mr. Brown nor Mr.
Elliott holds any precedence In power or
Influence over the other. The fact that
both Holdrege nnd Elliott declined to ac
cept Brown's place would Indicate that It
Is tho least desired of the throe. It also
means that Mr. Holdrege will stay with the
Burlington tor some time yet.

RECKONING THE LOSS
(Continued from First Page,)
stances were carried down tho Tug river
even below the falls.
All the lumber plants, and there are
many of them, are great losers, to an ex
tent that many who have witnessed the
passing wreckage conservatively estimate
at $1,500,000.
At Iaeger station the river rose to the
Immenso height of thirty-one feet Inside
of three hours from the time the rain be
gan, deluging every house In the little
town and washing away many of tho out
buildings and In somo instances dwellings
were swept from their foundations, but
lodged against large and more substantial
ones and were thus saved from destruction.
Higher up tho river the destruction Is
said to be even greater. At Vivian many
houses were washed away and several lives
are reported lost. All towns above there
occupying low lands were submerged and
many houses wore washed away. Rlttcrs'
sawmills at Panther are reported to have
been destroyed and every lumber plant In
McDowell and Mercer counties has suffered
great damage.
It Is Impossible to approximately esti
mate tho loss of life. Early reports sent
out Indicated that It had been very great,
but each subsequent report has lowered
the number. It Is safe to say that less
than 100 have perished and It need be no
surprise to learn that no more than one
half, or possibly one-fourth that number
have been lost.
Strike Lose Prominence.
Interest In the strike among the miners
along the Not folk has been subordinated
to tho results of the flood. In fact, the
great strike made by nature has caused
everything of an Industrial naturo to be
suspended, nnd it will be weeks before
thero will be a possibility of shipping coal,
so that the operators have no need for tho
miners working.
Governors DIkimis Itellrf.
CHARLESTON. W. Vn.. Juno 24. After a
conference tonight with the secretary of
state and other officials Governor White
Issued an appeal to citizens of West Vir
ginia for contributions to tho aid of the suf
ferers by tho flood In the Flat Top region.
The governor states that while ho has no
definite Information It Is evident that an
appalling calamity has reached that re
gion, yet aid will be required to euro for
tho sick and destitute and care for the dead,
In rcsponte to a message from Governor
Nash of Ohio, asking whether assistance
would bo needed, Governor White replied
that he hoped for deflnlto Information from
tho stricken region tomorrow, but the num
ber of those suffering would undoubtedly be
great. Governor White added:
"Any outside aid had best bo in money
nd can be sent to the adjutant general in
Charleston or to any bank cashier In Bluo-
field. Thousands of miners nro homeless."
