warm retort and the members of the
1-aooma baseball team, who were in the
party, would have thrown him into the
river If they had not been prevented.
St. I'aul Road Much Damaged.
The damage to the new roadbed of the
St. Paul line between Missoula and Butte
will not fall short of a million dollars,
and It is becoming greater all the time.
The Northern Pacific has assembled on
this division all of the piledrivera from
the West that It can get; it has taken
from its own Western divisions and has
borrowed from other roads. The fight
against the water is being carried on by
10,000 men, but the water Is gaining
Steadily and the rain continues to fall in
torrents. The Missoula River at this
place is but a few feet below the highest
mark ever registered. The expensive city
bridges are in danger and are guarded to
prevent their use, so dangerous are they
considered.
West of here the Northern Pacific has
bo trouble as yet.
Railroad Xearly Destroyed.
At midnight the Northern Pacific has
feurrendered the fight against the water
east of Missoula for the present. Un
less the rain stops soon, there will be
very little left of 150 miles of the most
expensive road on the line. Two big
Steel bridges have been washed out, but
It is not understood that they are de
stroyed. The serious feature of the situation Is
the fact that the high water has ex
tended west of Missoula and is attacking
the track between Missoula and the west
end of the state. The Idaho division has
cent a big force of men over to help in
the fight on the west end. One big
bridge is in danger In this district, that
at Parma, one of the largest bridges on
the line , of the Northern Pacific
Effort to Save Big Dam.
At the dam of the Big Blackfoot Com
pany at Bonner, east of Missoula, the
company at midnight is using dynamite
to blow off the crest of the dam. in the
hope of settling the log Jam and saving
the logs. 0
At 11 P. M. tonight the central sec
tion of the big wagon bridge in the heart
of Missoula's-business district went out.
The extent of damage here Is not esti
mated tonight
MONTANA TOTAUjY CUT OFF
Butte Loses Idght and Power Jfo
AVlres, Jfo Trains.
SALT LAKE, June 5. Helena and
Butte, Mont., are practically cut off from
the outside world this morning. Rain is
still falling heavily throughout that part
of Montana and traffic on the railroads,
already demoralized by washouts follow
ing a week's almoBt continuous rain, will
be tied up for several days.
Every little trout stream and brook In
Central Montana Is a raging torrent, while
the Big Hole, Clarks Fork and Missouri
Rivers are twice and three times their
usual width and overflowing the lowlands,
threatening railroad bridges and causing
serious washouts on the railroads in doz
ens of places. East and West of Helena
on the Northern Pacific, North and South
of Helena on the Great Northern and also
on the Oregon Short Line, north and
south of Dillon, passenger trains are
stalled with no hope of getting through
until the waters go down and the work
of repairing the tracks can be taken up.
Out of Butte both the Northern Pacifio
and Great Northern are tied up by wash
outs. The Postal Telegraph Company had
a wire Into Butte this morning long
aouj&-to l.tri that the power-house sup
plying the electric lighting and telegraph
power was threatened by the floods. The
wire failed a moment later and Butte
therefore Is probably without light or
power. All of the Western Union wires
failed early this morning north of Dillon,
Mont., as a result either of the failure of
the power-house at Butte or washouts
along the Big Hole River. The latter
stream is seriously threatening the big
bridge a mile and a half north of Dillon,
and Oregon Short Line passenger trains
are tied up on either side with no pros
pects of the blockade being broken for at
least 24 hours. Hundreds of men are at
work dumping rock along the river banks
near the bridge in the hope of saving the
structure from destruction, and the rail
road officials this morning expressed
themselves as confident of success. It is
still raining heavily, however, around Dil
lon and probably therefore throughout the
region north.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, June B. A
telephone message received tonight
from Butte, Mont., gives a gloomy pic
ture of ' the flood situation In Central
and Southern Montana. No trains, no
telegraph wire, no electrio lights, no
streetcar servloe, and continually fall
ing rain Is the substance of the report.
' The residences and offices tonight
are lighted by candles. Three feet of
water In the lower part of the city has
forced the furnaces at the Butte Re
duction Works to draw their fires. The
rail line to Anaconda Is out of commis

MORE SXOW FAIXS AT BUTTE
Melting Slush Adds Volume to Pre
vailing Floods.
BUTTE, Mont., June 6. Eight inches
of snow on the level, washed Into slush
by a driving rain that set In at daylight,
cut Butte off from the outside world
today. Telegraph communication was
not restored until noon. There is no tele
phone line, streetcar or power line work
ing, and many of the mines were closed,
having lost electrical power.
No heavy damage is reported here.
Trains east and west of here are reported
stalled.
All of the Western Union wires
failed early this morning north of
Dillon, Mont., as a result either of the
failure of the powerhouse at Butte or
washouts along the Big Hole River.
The latter stream is seriously threat
ening the big bridge a mile and a half
north of Dillon, and Oregon Short Line
passenger trains are tied up on either
side with no prospects of the block

officials this morning expressed them
selves as confident of success. It is
still raining heavily, however, around

THE ROSE FESTIVAL
BENEFITS PIANO HOUSE
Many Ou't-of-Town People Take Pres
ent Opportunity to Select
Piano at Eilers.
The three magnificent delivery wagons
of Eilers Piano House have been kept
busy, frequently overtime, delivering
many fine pianos and Pianola pianos each
day, sold to city buyers. In addition to
this, many sales are made daily to coun
try buyers. Yesterday in Portland wit
nessed quite a rush from people from out
of town. Among the sales recorded up to
& o'clock yesterday, for the day, were
found the following out-of-town buyers:
W. J: Tester, of Roseburg, a Chick
ering piano.
Mrs. Dr. Ball. Astoria, a magnificent
Weber piano in selected mahogany.
Miss E. Dooher, of Hlllsboro, a Mar
shall & Wendell piano.
Mrs. C. F. Bayer. North Yamhill, Or.,
a Kimball piano.
Miss Lida T. Barlow, of Camas, Wash.,
a Kimball art upright piano.
W. H. Eccles, Ogden, Utah, calling
with his family, selected a superb $1200
Chickering Parlor Grand in magnificent
crotch mahogany, which will -be sent to
his home in Utah.
Mrs. Rhoda Wallace, of Lents. Oft, a
splendid Marshall & Wendell piano.
H. H. Weber. Rldgefield, Wash., a
beautiful exhibition Kimball upright
which was in the show window.
C C. Allen. Newberg, Or., a J750 Peer

of which was selected shortly afterwards
by Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Johnson. Clacka
mas, Or.
Mr. and Mrs. J. CL Duggar, of Walla
Walla, selected a magnificent Lester
piano. '
This record of sales to out-of-town
people means more than one carload of
pianos. In addition to that, the city folks
were not bo busy with the Carnival but
what 11 of them found time to come in
and select fine new upright and grand
and pianola pianos.
This is unquestionably three times the
amount of business that has been se
cured by all the rest of the houses in this
trade contbined. This certainly offers
most magnificent and uncontrovertible
evidence for the claims of Eilers Piano
House as to its ability to furnish posi
tively the greatest Intrinsic piano value
for the Ieat possible money. With 41
stores, last year, Eilers houses sold near
iy 70 out of every hundred pianos sold
on the Coast, and this year the showing
in favor of Eilers stores will be still
greater. Main salesroom, 351 Washing

BOYCOTT RAILROAD HOTEL
Commercial Travelers Take Hand In
Rate War In Xorthwest.
SEATTLE. Wash., June 6. (Special.)
As a result of the rate war between
the International Steamehlp Company,
backed by Seattle merchants and the
Canadian Pacific boats, the Canadian
Pacific's hotel, the Vancouver, Is boy
cotted by the big convention of United
Commercial Travelers now In session,
says a special from Vancouver, B. C.
The few delegates who had reserved
rooms there vacated them on arrival
here. Another factor is the fact that
the hotel made no contribution to the
entertainment fund. 'The banquet,
which was to have been held at the
Vancouver, will be held in a down
town hall.
Another move In the rate war is the
announcement by the International
Company that on June 15, when the
Canadian Pacific puts another boat on
the " Victoria-Vancouver-Seattle run,
the fare between Victoria and Vancou
ver on the International boats will be
cut from $2.50 to $1. It may later go
to 50 cents If the Canadian Pacific
meets the new rate.
SINGS PRAISE OF CHINESE
Montesano Visitor Returns From the
Orient With Enlightened Ideas.
ABERDEEN, Wash., June 5. (9pecial.)
Charles Veysey, of Montesano, who re
cently returned from an extended trip
abroad, is in the city today. Speaking of
the Chinese and the Japanese particular
ly, he said:
"I tell you property and life in China
a'Vid Japan are safer than In the United
States. One has only to go through the
countries to have the profoundest respect
for -their ideas. In civilization they can
give us pointers. Why, they look upon
life and property as the holliest thing to
preserve. They treat Americans and
other foreigners with great -deference and
anything left around Is as safe as it
could possibly be. The Chinese, in my
opinion, possesses most of those moral
attributes which we imagine they lack.
"I was in Japan," said Mr. Veysey,
"when talk of war with America was
most rampant, and there was no feeling
for war over there. Everybody who could
make himself understood at all was for
peace. Articles were copied from Ameri
can newspapers which I know caused the
Japanese a lot of amusement."

3000 acres of land to be reclaimed for
agricultural purposes on lines similar
to those adopted In Holland. This
large tract of land was purchased
three years ago by a number of capi
talists who expect to settle there as
soon as the land Is dyked a colony
from Holland. That the company ex
pects to put a good deal of money in
the development of this land is indi
cated by the fact that $15,000 was in
vested in the dredge and other ma
chinery. Mr. Hammond Is very much
interested in the working of the dredge
and is also interested In the reclama
tion scheme.
