Mr. Vanderbilt made the trip in 6 hours and 40 minutes ‘actual running! time ‘with a car weighing 6,200 pounds, |, and-drove in the rain for eighteen miles of the trip. Time for lunch was! deducted. The actual running time was slightly legs than that of fast Northern Pacific passenger trains. With Mr. ‘Vanderbilt is his wife, her sister, Miss Littleton, of, Chattanooga Tenn., and John W. Brodix, of New| Jersey. Leaving New York the party toured through West Virginia, Ohib, Indiana and from Chicago started the Northwest trip which will end in Brit- ish Columbia at Vanderbilt’s hunting lodge. Vanderbilt will spend most of his time in Seattle and will write a series of financial articles for the New York Times devoting considerable, study to Oriental trade conditions.

Only at one place —near Crystal Springs—was it neces- sary for us to use time to get direc- tions, Mr. Vanderbilt is acting as a repre- sentative of the National Parks High- way Association and of the American Automobile Association’ on” the trip. Today was the twelrth day on the road, the seventh‘from Chicago. The party has traveled 2,126‘miles from New York in a Packard Twin Six au- tomobile, has used 176 gallons of gas- oline and 33 quarts of ofl. An accur- ate account of the trip is being «ept by Mr. Vanderbilt.’ Mr. Vanderbilt spent several hours | in Bismarck today visiting scenes. in and near the city, in company with! J. C. Anderson, and G. N. Keniston. He visited the state capitol and had a long talk on political conditons with John N. Hagan, commissioner of agri- culture and labor. Governor Frazier and Attornel General Lemke were both out of the city. How East Views Us. Asked if it were true, as has been reported, that the North Dakota polit- ical situation is one of the most fre- quent subjects’ of discussion in finan- cial and other circles in the east Mr.| Vanderbilt explained that the North Dakota situation is looked upon in the east somewhat as Seattle was aft- er her great general strike—the move- ment is looked upon as a sort of re- bellion, he, said. Financial men are wary of both North Dakota and Wash- ington securities, he said, because of the general feeling-that radicalism has a strong hold in both states. He laughed over some of the things he had been told before leaving New York—he took no stock in them, hav- ing traveled over the entire country. He was advised, he said, to carry guns while traveling through the Northwest, ; and one person advised him to take a different trail because he would find it dangerous traveling through the! Northwest. -This erroneous but ot infrequent conception of North Dakota and the Northwest actually has kept | many travelers from coming over the Red Trail, Mr. Vanderbilt said. i Stating that he felt like saying he be-| Heved one wag safer traveling in the west than when in Chicago, Mr. Van-/ derbilt told of a motor trip taken last! year by ‘himself and wife from Van- couver, B. C., to'Tia Juana, Mexico. | He was writing a series of labor ar-| ticles, and went into’ side trails in the! coast states, camping out most of the time. His wife remained alone fre- quently while he was visiting logging mills, feeling Perfectly safe. Mr. Valderbilt is the only son ofj| General Vanderbilt and is a great- great grandson of Commodore Vander- bilt. He began work on the New York Times as a “cub” reporter and now is writing special articles for the Times and magazines. Last winter Mr. Van-| derbilt covered the New York state/ legislature for the Times. He is driv- ing his car himself on this trip. “Mr. Brodix, who is with the party, was once captain of the Columbia univer- sity track team and still holds: some national records in long-distance run- ning.

Bow- nocker, state geologist and professor of geology at Ohio State university. Accordifg to Professor Bownockez, the United States has petroleum re- serves amounting to six or seven bil- lion barrels. The rate of production in 1920 was 440 million barrels a year. However, this is thought to be the highest mark production will reach, Bownocker said geoligists believe. The Production rate is expected to declina this year. Thus, Professor Bownocker points out,this country actually can produce ofl for no longer than 15 years, but at constantly decreasing rate each year. More than 60 per cent of the world’s ofl supply is produced in the United States. Much oil is imported here from Mexico, second in ofl production, but, Professor Bownocker declared, at Mexico’s present rate of production, her wells will cease to be a factor in two or three years. ————— ooo Let Us Find the Job for You Are you looking for work?

GRAPHIC STORY OF COLORDO FLOOD TOLD BY COUNTY SHERIFF Colorado Springs, June 6.—(Frank Ducray, sheriff of Mesa county, ar- rived here last night with’one of the most graphic stories told of thé flood. He was a passenger on the Denver & Rio Grande train ‘No, 3, which arrived in Pueblo Friday night. He was one of the survivors of the 200 ;jssen- gers on the train, many of whom are believed to have perished. _ Just as the train was pulling up to the bridge over the Arkansas river leading into the ‘Union station it was stopped. On the next track was a Missouri Pacific train. Att at once there was a roar of waters. Said Ducray: “The flood lapped our coach step and began rising.

I reckon she died in her seat. “Screams and cries rose as the two trains swayed side by side. I saw some people go to their death crushed between them.” Every dam in the, Arkansas ger flat be expected is gone and the levees about the city are. so rifled that they will have to be repaired before even the business section can be cleared of water. Flood Renewed Three times yesterday came a re- newal of the flood. At 4 o'clock in the morning the water, rose several feet when the crest of the flood from the breaking of the Stratton park dam near Coloraro Springs reached Pueblo. {n the middle of the afternoon the breaking of the Skagway reservoir and Beaver gam near Victor, coupled with a heavy/downpour of rain, caused an- other rise. Again last night followed another heavy rain storm and the water rose. An exact figure as to the number of bodies recovered was impossible. Morgues have been established at many places and hot all of these could be reached. 500 In Hospitals The number of persons in temporary hospitals was placed at 600 by J. E. Moorhead, secretary to Governor Shoup. A supply of cots, blankets, lanterns, candles and sweaters arrived yester- day from the Red Cross in Colorado Springs. Col. F. J. Pierce, in charge of the Red Cross, said that so far he has been able to feed and clothe every person applying for aid. ‘One of the greatest problems here is drinking water. The only water available is from a little spring near the Congress hotel. In the vicinity of the state hospital. the nearest the correspondent could get to the natural bed of the river was approximately a half mile. A part of the railroad yards there had been washed away and the river had estab- lished a new channel virtually cover- ing the entire section of bottoms known as the Grover, SOUTH SIDE ISOLATED.
