is the keynote of the situation iu this
city today. A feeling is prevalent
that the effect of the tremendous
floods will ultimately be beneficial.
Several towns were destroyed, but the
flood has fertilized thousands of
acres of barren fields.
Aid from the United States has
been received and is greatly appreci
ated. The destroyed buildings will be re
placed with modern structures.
Tho authorities are still guarding
against an outbreak of pestilence and
as the dend bodies are rapidly being
disposed of it is thought that they

OLD RIVER BED SITE
OF NORTH YAKIMA
NORTH YAKIMA, Wash., Aug. 31.
It has just been discovered that the
flooded condition of the basements of
this city is not duo to irrigation seep
age, as has been believed, but to (he
fact that this city is located over the
old course of the Natches river, and
that the water of which complaint is
made flows through the gravelly soil
from (hat river. This hns been almost
positively demonstrated. .
Following this discovery the city
engineer is preparing to build a con
crete dam across this old course near
its source, believing that this will put
an end to all trouble. No end of in
convenience and annoyance aud much
damage has beeu caused by this, water
in the past. It has been almost impos
sible to lay sewer, water or drain
pipes below the city in summer here
tofore, aud those that have been laid
in the water soon develop leaks, add
ing large expense for repair.
