2 SWEPT AWAY BY FLOODS. A Graphic Des'nriptinn of the Terrible Works of Water and Tce on the Upper Mis- souri River, Devastntiop n Every Side Huge Ic 1ds Still Un- melted ousands of Cattle Lost. Yankton Letter to the New York Tr The great flood in this vall Upper Missouri two months ago has beon pushed from the public mind by succeeding sensations, But the traces of this late glacial epoch are now most *clearly in sight. 1 have sometimes thought that if Noah had left us a little pen picture of the scen after the flood it would have been as interesting as the account of the flood itself. Nor would this people decline a special bow of promise against future drowning. Let me attempt to describe what the newspaper man of Noah's day forgot. I cannot describe the complete up- per valley for 900 miles—from Bis- marck to Sioux City —which was laid waste by the water, at an average loss, it is now estimated, of at least £200,- 000 per mile. The best of theso val- ni' lands are uninhabitable and until- lable at the present season, by reason of the beds of sand, the bank of ice, lagoons of water, drifted trees, half buried, decaying carcasses, and the want of all stock, dwellings, farming the s 8oon * tools, and the lack of all ability to purchase them. But I can describe the worst scene of the disaster, which formerly was the garden section of this region. Between this city and Sioux City, sixty miles below, there lay an unbroken stretch of rich allu- vial bottoms, averaging ten miles in width, and fenced in by high bluffs. Viewed at long range its polished smoothness persuaded one that Mother Nature had once been a better laun- drywoman than some who iron shirts. Here o few pioneers began making their homes a full generation ago. 1t had become thickly settled, there be- ing in all oyer 1,200 families, and every half-section being a distinct farm. Through this low plain runs,in gzag manner llke a fence-rail, the Missouri river in its sober seasons. Nowhere does its natural width ex- ceed fifty vods, and in spots at mid- summer as many feet would span the lazy stream. Before the flood this tract ot 600 square miles at harvest time was a most ravishing scene, full of temptations for those who love farm life —good buildings, large crops, fine stock, LIVINC IN TENTS ALONC E BLUFF, Seen after the flood, it seems to be ravished by nature of all nature's gifts, and man’s achievements, Standing on the blufls here, with a glass, one looks fifteen miles away without sce- ing one home, There is not one per- fect building left, and only here and there is there a relic of human habi- | raw beef.

In these tents, during a arge part of the lnst sixt days, old men and grandmothers, def- icate women and little children, ac- customed to warm houses and good beds and plenty of food, have huddled together on straw, scantily clothed, meanly fed and covered chiefly with ‘shivers at night.

Norgwill the farmer know that his farm is clear till his broken plow writes him a re- vised book of revelations. The valley was dotted with many sturdy groves of timber, growths of the century, many trunks being thirly inches through. Now, almost to the last monarch, they have been mowed down by the mighty ice-blade. You train your glass in vain for a half dozen shadows down this desert. But you casily detect a house roof or a church spire protrud- ing from the sand like monum ents. For, with thousands of acres of tim- ber, whole villages were floated from their foundations, ground into frag ments, by the strange millstones of the hour, and scattered over the plain, Strewn everywhere are mementoes of home and culture, from the cradle and brown jug to the leg of a rosewood piano. THE REMNANT OF A RAILROAD, Down the valley winds the wrecked or buried track of a once prosperous railwa But its cars are crushed and 1ts offices closed for sixty miles, and not a whistle of a locomot has been heard in Yankton since March 28 Beside the track at Meckling stands a grain _elevator—still s, Into it when forced from their homes, held 125 people, where they fasted and suf- fered for ten days without intercourse with those on dry land. The occu- pants have e ow scarcely recover- od from their prostrated fear that their last resort, shaken by the blow of every ice cake, would go down at the next thump. In one town wany citizens took refuge in a strong barn, and lifted upon one of the hay-lofts several fatted steers. And there men, women aud children remained two weeks, subsisting chiefly upon fow lives have been lost, but still-births have been numerous, and many have been made sick by exposure such as would be attendant upon a skiff' ride of tive miles through the flood on a “zer0 night,” with no covering but night-clothes or a calico dress. And }‘cw have been made crazy by their losses and hardships.

WHY THE PEOPLE WERE NOT PREPARED, The unusual source and time of this flood explain the severity of losses from it. The annual high water in the Missouri is locally known as *‘the June rise,” the river seldom running “full-banked” earlier than the 1st of June. During a residence of seven suunners at Omaha, T never saw busi- ness on *the flats” disturbed by water before June. But this season, it was still March, and the Missouri at this point and for hundreds of miles abov d other leading | was locked in the thickest ice, without | ) ono symptom of a thaw, when tole that the weather there was like May, that the five years' snow was melting fast, and that the Missouri and its tributarices there were already above their banks, But people this way un- iforin ly laughed at the report, and re- fuse | to prepare for a flood by remov- ing familios, stock,ete. ,to high ground, They belioved only their cyes; and thoso witnesses told the story too late, At the first bound the bottoms were covared with one or two feet of ice- L water through which stock refus- vd to be driven to the blufts Thus it was, too, that men lost stocks of goods in tho villages, some of them worth 810,000 or £15,000, Silks, syrups and oil floated toward the gult Sin sweet accor Men argued from precedent and lost ELECTRICITY A MOTIVE POWER.
