FLOODED ACRES
Officials Seek Cause of Break
in Concrete Dam Above
t Rock Creek.
NEW CHANNEL IS CUT
toss of Stock Is Not Great, but the
Crop Damage Is Unestimated.
One-fourth of Lake Water
Is Discharged.
BAKER. Or.. June 29. (Special)
Investigation of the cause of the break
ing of the concrete dam of Killamacue
Lake, which caused the destruction of
the village of Rock Creek and the
flooding of thousands of acres yester
day, is being conducted tonight by R.
P. Anderson. Baker County Sheriff. He
Bent a party of men to the scene today,
and they are still there. Sheriff Ander
son says that the dam was of solid con
crete and that it does not seem possible
that It could have gone out through
natural causes.
"It looks very suspicious, to say the
least," he said tonight, "but I cannot
tell what action will be taken until the
Investigating party reports."
Arrested Man Released.
The man named Gray, arrested last
night on suspicion of having a part in
the possible dynamiting, was released
immediately afterward because the
Sheriff is sure he had no part in the
matter.
Rock Creek's nervy farmers have al
ready begun to repair their damaged
homes and fields, after devastation of
yesterday"s flood.
Although rocks and debris piled np
fey the water on the Charles Castor and
Howard McCullough farms has com
pletely ruined these places for this
year, other farmers in the paths of the
flood suffered less and are expecting
to replant portions of their fields.
The Frank Castor home Is now
, standing in the center of Rock Creek,
because the great mass of water has
changed the course of the stream there
and has caused a new channel that
runs through the barnyard on the Mc
Cullough farm.
An attempt was made today to di
vert Rock Creek back into its original
confines, but in any event a great gash
washed out by the rampant stream
will mark forever the path of the tor
rent of yesterday. The new channel
i.-. in places, 100 feet wide and 15 to 20
feet deep.
Kxceptlng below in the lowlands the
waters have subsided to their normal
volume and nearly all of the residents
were able to return to their homes ex
cepting the Charles Castor famllv.
whose home was washed away. The
eufferers are being cared for by neigh
bors. Stock Loss Not Large.
Nearly all of the irrigation ditches
have been stopped up by the debris,
and big trees and boulders lie scat
tered over the desolate ground that
until yesterday morning was covered
with waving grain and grasses.
The loss of stock was not great, and
Included only a few cattle, hogs, horses
and poultry, but the crop damage is
still impossible to estimate. It is be
. lleved that the damage to the Eastern
Oregon Light & Power Company's flume
and transmission line will approximate
3000. and it will require 500 to re
pair the broken dam at Killamacue
Lake.
Those returning from the source of
the flood report that a hole 40 feet
wide has been torn in the dirt dam
and its concrete core at the lake; that
only 10 feet of the surface was low
ered, and that one-fourth of the lake's
capacity was discharged.
FLOOD POSTPONES CARNIVAL
Muddy Creek Appalled at Disaster
and Abandons Funmaklng.
. BAKER, Or., June 29. (Special.)
So appalled is Muddy , Creek at the
disaster to her sister community that
all plans for the Red Cross "Krazy
Karnival" have been abandoned and
the event has been postponed in
definitely. A delegation that was to have gone
to Baker last night was arrested by
the flood and the enthusiasm that at
tended the preparations for the affair
has been blasted.
Everyone is giving all assistance
possible to his stricken neighbors.

CARE IS TAKEN HOT
TO ABUSE NEUTRALS
America to Determine Export
Policy Only After Pains
taking Study.
GERMANY CONTROLS FUEL
Dutch and Swiss Depend on Foe of
Allies for Coal in Exchange for
Food, and Problem Per
plexes Administration.
WASHINGTON', June 39. America's
export policy will be determined by
President Wilson only after a most
careful study of the subject In all its
international aspects. After the prob
lem had been gone over at today's Cab
inet meeting it was disclosed that the
first Presidential proclamation putting
certain commodities under Government
control probably will not bo issued for
some days.
Many complications are presented.
The Administration, firm in its inten
tion to checlc the movement of supplies
from the European neutral countries to
Germany, is anxious at the same time
that no injustice bo done to neutrals.
It is realized that any programme for
rationing opens itself to many abuses.
Switzerland, for instance receives its
entire coal supply from Germany in ex
change for home produced food prod
ucts. If the United States declines to
grant licenses for grain exports to
Switzerland unless the Swiss cease ex
porting food products to Germany,
Switzerland will have to go through
the Winter with an Inadequate coal
supply.
Tonnage Is Problem. Too.
The question of tonnage, to, presents
a complicated problem.
Coal probably will be put under li
cense in the first proclamation. As
bunker coal will be licensed this ar
rangement gives the United States and
Great Britain together a firm control
of both allied and neutral shipping. The
disposal of neutral tonnage and a score
of other complexities must be worked
(Hit before a definite policy is adopted.
Plans for diverting Japan's tonnage
to trans-Atlantic service are to be con
sidered before a final decision is made
as to a programme
Diplomatic representatives here of
the European neutrals ard making
every effort to convince this Govern
ment that their countries have not taken
advantage of heavy imports from the
United States to trade with Germany.
Netherlands Is Disturbed.
The Netherlands government, partic
ularly, is disturbed over what Its rep
resentatives declare is an effort to
force it from its position of neutrality.
Only two hours distant from one of the
great belligerents, this country, its rep
resentatives have told American offi
cials, is in the most difficult position
of all the neutrals.
The Netherlands representatives have
presented facts regarding Dutch im
ports designed to show that the large
Increase in food shipments received
from America is explained by a reduc
tion in imports from other countries.
In 1912 their figures purported to show
Dutch imports totalled 123.500,000
pounds, while in 1915 they amounted
to only 51,500,000 pounds.
Holland claims the legal right to ex
port freely the great quantity of per
ishables she produces. Germany, it is
contended, is the natural market for
the products which England does not
want and in exchange for which Ger
many supplies coal and iron.

Since 1852 San Francisco
DAVTD ROBINSON, Public Defender,
is well known in the city of Port
and as a competent attorney and de
fender of the poor and lowly, but only
a few of his intimate friends know of
his culinary ability.
Little would the average person sus
pect that the bright practitioner, who
delights in his daily oral battles with
City Prosecutor Statler and Deputy
District Attorney Ryan at the bar of
Justice in Municipal Court, was a moul
der of exquisite bits of delicious pastry,
but it is true.
While Dave as he is called by his
friends is still in that state of single
bliss, he delights in donning apron and
diving into the flour barrel during his
leisure moments. With mysterious and
weird movements he also dips into the
can of lard. Presto, and out of the
oven comes a nice, juicy, flakey pie.
Hist this Is a secret Dave pre
sented Deputy Ryan wth one of his
bits of piecraft the other day. Some
of his friends say that never again
will Tommy attack Dave with his
rhetoric, for Tommy likes pie.
"And, believe me," said Mr. Ryan, "it
was some pie. Dave will make some
woman a mighty good cook."
MILLMEN RETURN TO WORK
Coos Bay Plant Lists Seven Strikers
as Undesirable.
MARS 11 FIELD, Or.. June :n. (Spe
cial.) The strike situation at tha
Smith mills shows a gain for the com
pany, about 12 men having returned
today. The company is reported to
have reduced the list of -undesirables
to seven men. This means that all who
were in the employ of the company,
save seven, may return to work.
The situation is much mixed, owing
to the interference of one and another
influence. The men believe they are
being "worked" by pretended friends
and the company believes the men have
been influenced by Industrial Workers
of the World members, who are un
known, but members of the union.
