DISASTER NARROWLY AVERTED
Xate Kalamnene, in Baker County,
Undermined for Irrigation Pnr
poscs Flow of "Water Stopped
by "Uprooted Trees. v
BAKER CITY, June S3. Fishermen re
turning from Rock Creek report -what
came near being a disaster at Lako Kala
macue Friday night. An Irrigation com
pany has been engaged for seme time bor
ing a. tunnel under the bottom of the
lake a distance of about 2S0 feet, so that
it could use the water during the months
of July and August, -when Rock Creek Is
almost dry. The tunnel was so planned
that It would strike a point about 60 feet
below the bottom of the lake. Soundings
were made to ascertain just how deep the
water was, but no account was taken or
the mud and ellt, under the water. An
uprise was started from the end of the
tunnel to strike the lake bottom, sup
posed to be CO feet above. Friday even
ing, just before supper, the workmen put
In a shot in the solid rock In the upraise,
and all the men left except tw o, who were
left to Are the shot ana clear up for the
night. Just after the shot was fired, one
of the men noticed mud and water coming
down from -the upraise. He warned his
companion, and they both rushed out Just
in time to save their lives, as with a
mighty roar the water of the lake broke
through into the tunnel, and a moment
alter the men gained a place of safety a
large stream of water was spouting sev
eral hundred feet down the canyon. Rock
Creek became a roajlng torrent. In a
minute, the water became higher than
ever, known before. Fortunatly, there
were a lot of trees In the lake which
were uprooted by the water and carried
into the tunnel, thus stopping to some
extent the outflow. Had It not been for
this hindrance a mill and store building
on the creek below wpuld have been
washed away, and several farm buildings
destrojed. The water in the lake contin
ued to flow with great force until Sunday
eiening. The lake Is now empty, and
Lake Kalamacue, as a reservoir, for this
cason, is no more. A head gate will be
put In now that the water is all out, and
It will be all right next season.
SBXSATION AT DAWSOJf.
Suspended Customs Collector Hands
In His Resignation.
VANCOUVER, B. C, June 23. A special
from Dawson says:
One of the biggest sensations of the
year culminated in the resignation today
of D. "W. Davis, Collector of Customs of
the Port of Dawson, who -was suspended
Saturday night. Alexander A. Cook, for
merly of Vancouver, has also resigned,
and has severed hl3 connection with the
Customs Department. The upheaval In
the government office was the result of
an examination of books and papers and
entries made by S. W. McMichacl, Chief
Inspector of the Canadian Customs De
partment, and by his assistant, Mr. Bel
ton. Mr. McMichael and Belton arrived
In Dawson two weeks ago, and since that
time have been malclng expert examlnar
tions of the affairs of lthe office.
The charge is made that Davis received
a large sum of money from the Alaska
Exploration -Company, and as a result the
government was defrauded of a large
amount of revenue. While it Is impossible
to obtain a .detail of the official figures,
the claim against the company, with penr
altles. Is said to be in the vicinity of $50,r
000. It is possible that criminal proceed,
ings may be taken agaiiurt the officers of
the company in connection with the
amount lost by the government. r
"E. S. Burby, formerly Canadian Inspect,,
or at Skagway and later Inspector for the
entire district, has been appointed tempo
rarily to All the vacancy, and it is proba
ble that his appointment will be made per
manent. Other charges In connection
with the discovery of the alleged frauds
may be made, and it is expected that somJ
further sensations may be unearthed.
Both men affected are woll known in
the department. Davis has been hero hold
ing office" since. 1S95.
jKounfcd Police-to Be Wlibdrmvn,
VANCOUVER, -B. C, June 23. A spe
cial from Dawson says:
The mounted police will "be withdrawn

Major Z. T. Wood has written a letter to
the City Council of Dawsop stating that
this action had been decided upon by the
department at Ottawa, and he requested

tablishment -of a police force in the city,
the same as in outeido municipalities.
This lg being done, and on, the 1st of July

Inspector Starnes, of the mounted po
lice, and one of the oldest officers In the
