Ladd Creek is also very high and
probably several hundred acres of
land between here and Hot Lake are
flooded, but little damage is being
done and thero is little probability
that this situation becomes serious.
J. F. Phy, who has seen many floods
in the valley, when looking over the
flooded area from Hot Lake this
morning, declared that this is the
wors't flood that has occurred for
many yoars. At Hot Lake the waters
have come within less than a mile of
the sainturiiiin. Should the levies
there break, a considerable acrengt
would be flooded, althuugh there is no
danger whatever of the water coming
much closer to the snnatarium than ut
present. From the hill beyond the
sunatarium one can, however, get a
view of the flooded areti that shows
a largo portion of the land that is suf
fering most.
, About half a mile of the highway
cast of Hot Lake is covered with water
and just beyond the flooded stretch
of highway tho camp of the Security
Construction company can be seen.
At the offices of the company it was
stated today that so far as known no
damage had been done to the 1'amp.
According to reports reaching here
when the flood came the camp was
practically abandoned and tools and
other equipment has been put into
safety. I he road was covered with
over two feet of water yesterday.
Harry Weimar, of Cove, who drove
a milk truck into La Grande this
murning, reported that the Island City
road was passable this morning and
no water was on it in any place, but
that the south road was under water
and impassable. He said that he ex
pected the Island City road to be un
der water in places this afternoon-.
The rains which have swelled Cath
erine Creek have been general in all
parts of the county, and at the divis-,
ion engineer offices of the state high
way commission here it was announc
ed today that the road across the
mountains was impasablc to several
miles beyond Dead Man's Hill.

CHIEF JUSTICE WHITE,
PASSES AWAY TODAY
(Continued from Page One.)
the Anti-Option Law, when SenaUr
White made a profound legal argu
ment against the constitutionality of
the Pleasure. The other occasion was
miring the struggle over tho repeal
of the Sherman Act, when ho advocat
ed the views President Cleveland ws
known to entertain on the subje:t. Jl;s
nomination to the bench ended a mem
orable contest in tho senate. Two
New Yorkers had been nominated by
President Cleveland, but both failed
of confirmation. Throwing (bo tlo
winds the custom which for eighty
eight years had kept a New York man
on the bench, Mr. Cleveland named
Senator White. Ho was confirmed
within an hour.
Almost as unusuul as his appoint
ment as associate justice was his
elevation to the chief justiceship. In
1010, when President Taft besought
by various factions of the Republican,
party to appoint first this man and
then that to succeed Chief Justice
Fuller, the president boldly disre
garded the custom regarding the sel
ection of justices from his own party
anil that precedent frowning on the
promotion of an asociuto justice to
the chief justiceship, and sent to tho
Senate tho nomination of Justice
White. I lis nomination was con
firmed immediately.
The funeral will be a private one,
held Saturday from St. Matthew's
Catholic Church.
