able damage.
The tremendous rains of the past week
Lava raited all the creeks in the county
and what are usually babbling brooks
are now raging torrents. We have not
yet he.ird of any serious damage being
done, hut fears were expressed yesterday
that the Rock creek dam would go out.
If this should prove to be the case,
would seriously cripple both the Iman
and Rock creek eaw mills, but we hope
the fi'ars were unfounded. Skamania

chinery and supplies to the mines may
be resumed. It will also add somewhat
to the pleasure ot life here in town,
where walking for pleasu-e has been
abandoned for a week past. This is not
intended as a surprising news item for
local readers. Sumpter Miner.

us. Last year the Drat fall of snow,

The young ladies who attended the

pecially f-vored in listening to a sermon
by the pastor on the subject, "Our

tribute tu them well worth hearing,
congiatulating them on the fact that
whereas but a few years ago mere were
not a score of places in the business
world opn to them, now there aro said
to be 5000. He also spoke ol tne special
giits which had been given to them and
to what a great blessing they might be

While this can go on with
out causing any particular disturbance,
there is a matter which must be attend
ed to at once, or we must find some
other means of disposing of the city a
dnad than burying them. The ground
now inclosed is well oitfh filled with
graves and right foon there will not be
, paca left where a body can le la.d.
VVl.ile there are a few lots, In mot cl
them it li impossible to excavate on ac
count of the rocky soil. The city must
do something in regard to this matter,
and that quickly. We understand two
acres j lining the cemetery on the eouth
can be purchased for $20 an acre. This
Is very reasonable, and the city could
make no better move than to buy this
ground, extend the fence and thus give
to those who are so unfortunate as not
to be able to pay $25 for a lot or even $15
for a half lot, a respectable place in
which to bury their dead.
A large audience was present at the
Congregational church last evening,
prominent a.nong whom were the Elks,
who, as a body, attend services once a
year. Tho order was well represented,
and listened intently as Rev. I. V.
Poling spoke of "The mysteries which
lie conrcaled in the shadow of Castle
Garden," dealing In a large measure
with the influences good and bad
which reeult from the mliiratlon of
foreigners to our shores. His ideas of
the subject were good and clearly de
fined. On? especially good point was
that in which he suggested that.wheroas
every foreigner who comes to our Bhores
leentitledto vote whether he has re
ceived the education compulsory In
America or not, schools should be es
tablished at every port where he could
receive the necessary instructions in
political economy, etc., and as a result
vote understandingly. In closing be
spoke of the benefit which America had
received from each nationality, giving to
her that which enables nil to proudly
sing "My Country 'Tie of Thee," and at
the close of the sermon the audience!
sang it with a vim. The music of the
evening was especially good. The two
anthems by the choir, particularly the
oncentitled "How Good is He the Giver"

gave two pleasing selections.
