WATER, 8 FEET HIGH, ROLLS
Deluge Starts Through Creek TTsually
Dry at This Season Cloudbursts
in Adjoining Idaho Territory
Are Fatal to Livestock.
BAKER, Or., July 24. (Special.)
Medical Springs, 22 miles east of here,
is today recovering: from a terrific
waterspout that did thousands ot do!
laxs' worth of damage to the surround
ing country last night.
"With the restoration of communica
tion this morning it was found that
bridges, crops and irrigation ditches
in an area of six square miles had been
destroyed.
The deluge came through Salt Creek,
usually dry at this time of year, and
eight feet of water rolled over lower
Powder Valley. The farm of "Wynne
Duncan was damaged more than $2000,
All his crops were destroyed, irriga
tion ditches put out of commission and
mud filled his house. The family es
caped. Miles Brothers lost $1000 in
crops and ditches, while James Childers
and William Burke lost like amounts.
The damage to the roads and .bridges
will b'e over $1000. So suddenly did
the water come that George Stout, who
was hauling two wagons, got one
across a bridge and was stopped when
he attempted to take the second across.
Road Supervisor W. J. Miles tried to
follow an automobile across a bridge
but the water had suddenly under
mined the approach and he and his
horse sank several feet through the
crust. He jumped to safety and the
horse struggled to the bank.
Miles spent all night in warning
travelers of the dangerous roads. The
damage to the irrigation ditches is so
great that the farmers cannot get them
repaired in time for a second crop of
grain. The roads in that part of the
country will be impassable for several
days and it will take all the rest of
the Summer to get them in even fair
condition.

for Ackerman and he has been a fugi

PROVISIONS RUX LOW AT CAMP
WOODWORTH MEETING.
Over 500' Now at Encampment and
Many Will Leave Hood River
Today and Tomorrow.
HOOD RIVER, Or., July 24. (Spe
cial.) The crowd at the second an
nual Chautauqua here has far sur
passed the expectations of the man
agement, according to a telephone mes
sage sent by Manager Ravlin, from
Camp Woodworth.' While It was ex
pected that the number of people in
the camp at the base of Mount Hood
would surpass a thousand tomorrow, it
was not thought that so many would
be present the first of the week. It
became necessary yesterday to send
a motor truck to the city to procure
additional supplies for the commissary
department, the number of campers at
present being almost 500.
Manager Ravlin had placed 250 tents
in the 100-acre park, and because of
the increased crowds it became neces
sary to procure more, as many are
sleeping in the open on couches of fir
and pine boughs.
The Chautauqua ball In the big open
air pavilion was given last" night. To
night the residents of the Upper Val
ley presented a two-act farce. "A Box
of Monkeys."
Although a large crowd will leave
here today, the greatest numbers will
go to the Chautauqua tomorrow, when
all of the business houses of the val
ley will be closed. The Mount Hood
Railroad Company has had to improvise
special equipment to handle the large
crowds over its line.

This money will be escheated to the
state unless the rightful owners and
there Is little possibility of many of
them doing so put in claims for it be
fore the period provided by law for
the advertisement of the accounts. The
largest amount reported $1437.53 is
by the First National Bank of Baker;
the second largest, J8SS.91, by the First
.National Bank of Portland, and the
third, J819.12, by the Ladd & Tllton

who had not kept correct track of their
accounts, had believed they had closed
their accounts by checking out all their
money.
.The law provides that the banks shall
make reports of dormant accounts to
the Secretary of Stat5 every two years,
between July 1 and July 15. It is not
imperative, however, that the report
should be in by July 15, but Secretary
Olcott urges the 38 banks of the state
that have not reported to do so at once.
A large majority of the banks having
filed their statements and the total
amount of dormant deposits in these
institutions being . J5714.57, it is evi
dent that the amount this year will not
be half so large as it was two years
ago, when the total was in the neigh
borhood of $24,000.-

JOSEPHINE RAIN HEAVY
CROPS XEAR GRANTS PASS ARE
GREATLY BENEFITED.
Prospects for Frultmen Bright and
Many New Varieties Soon to
lie Shipped.
GRANTS PASS, Or., July 24. (Spe
cial.) A gentle downpour of rain, do
ing immeasurable good to all small
fruit, berries and vegetables, fell in
Josephine County Wednesday. The
ground is wet to a depth of more than
three inches. X
Practically all the grain hay is in
throughout' the county, and the second
crop of alfalfa is not yet ready for cut
ting, and the moisture is most oppor
tune. Never in the history of Jose
phine County have all crops been so
prolific or the outlook for high prices
so satisfactory. It Is now estimated
that Josephine County will ship - at
least 400 carloads of apples and pears.
A number of the growers in the Lower
Rogue River Valley have contracted
the sale of their crop of apples at prices
ranging all the way from $1.25 for
Jonathans and Ben Davis to $1.50 and
$1.75 for Spitzer.bergs and Yellow New
town. It Is estimated that the Eisman
orchard, the largest commercial or
chard in the county, will net its owners
between $10,000 and $15,000 for 35
acres of bearing apples. The pears are
also in fine shape and the trees per
fectly free from blight. For the first
time in the history of the county both
peaches and Tokay grapes will be
shipped In carload lots.
More than 500 acres . of tomatoes in
this district are beginning to ripen.
E. Meier, living adjacent to Grants
Pass, expects to ship large quantities
of sweet potatoes and peppers.
CASE ASSUMES ODD PHASE
Fight on Compensation Act Makes
Unusual Demand on Crawford.
SALEM, Or., July 24. (Special.)
The suit to enjoin Secretary of State
Olcott from placing the workmen's
compensation act on the ballot at the
election in November, charges of gross
fraud in tne oDtaining oi signatures to
the petitions to refer the measure hav
ing been made, assumed a. peculiar
phase today when it was announced
that Attorney-General Crawford prob
ably would be of counsel for the plain-
tnr.
The suit was brought in the name of
the state on relation of Gale S. Hill,
uistrict Attorney, against the Secre
tary of State. Ordinarily the Attorney-General
would represent the Sec
retary of State, but the state being the
plaintiff, it is said that the Attorney-
General has about decided he should
appear for the state.
RULING INCREASES RATE
Commission Rearranges Telephone
Tariff Unsolicited.
SALEM, Or., July 24. (Special.) In
a decision handed down Tuesday by the
State Railway Commission, the rates
of the Eastern Oregon Co-Operative
Telephone Association, of Union Coun
ty, are increased - without application
on the part of the association for per
mission to raise its rates. The ruling
was made in the case of the Home In
dependent Telephone Company against
the Union County association.
The Commission holds that the com
pany's flat rate for both business and
residence phones and free exchange, for
members and subscribers are insuffi
cient for proper operation of its plant.
and that the rates for long-distance
calls by non-subscribers are discrimi
natory, in view of the rates and free
exchange for subscribers and members.
The association's tariff schedule,
therefore, is . rearranged by the Com
mission an a basis which the Commis
sion considers fair and just to all con
cerned. The ruling, in part, says:
