lines to the isolated towns of Colorado and Wyoming, Crippled railroad service was the outside world's only contact with Cheyenne, Wyo. From snow-swept sections of Wyoming came reports of severe damage to stock and the loss of one life. Northern Colorado was menaced by floods from melting snows.

Farmers in the lowlands near Lima lake, North Quincy and Hunt districts were fleeing. The water of the Mississippi at Canton, Mo., was rising an inch per hour. All tributory streams of the great river were threatening in lowa and Missouri. The Great Lakes region deluged
