into town in his own car par’- c
on this side of the river. They
were quite surprised because thev
thought they were leaving the
flood aras behind when they left

When asked how he- could talk,
listen to the click of the telegraph
key and send messages at the
same time. George says he learned
to do a lot of things in his 50
years with die railroad. “When I

tree are in the middle of the sink- ;

another three feet the Alder home j
will he in grave danger. At pres- j
