Atlanta, Ga Aug. 27. A long dis tance telephone message from the As sociated Press correspondent from Augusta says that the city is complete ly under water. In the down town portion business houses, telegraph oinces ana newspaper oihees are com' pletely demoralized. There were three deaths in Augusta A 1 . . . yuaieniuy, wo wniic people ana one negro. The damage, it is estimated, will reach half a million dollars. At 8 :30 last night it was learned through the single wire of the Georgia Kailroad company, working partly into Augusta, tnat tne large cotton ware house and the wholesale grocery ware- ... nouses oi tne ixixon company were burning. The union depot is under ten feet of water, and in the best residence dis trict the water stands six feet deep ana is siowiy rising. The report of the fires in the Nixon warehouses cannot be confirmed. A telegraph operator said he could not get near enough on account of the water, but that the fires were burning in the vicinity of the big warehouses, The floods in the Carol inas and Geor gia culminated in the breaking of the big dam six miles from Augusta, which diverts the water from the Savannah river into the canal at that point. The great flood of water let loose soon found its way into the city, and last night, from Fifteenth street to the Eastern boundary, Augusta was under from six to 12 feet of water, which is gradually rising.

San Francisco, Aug. 27. An aggres sive commercial campaign to recover trade lost to the merchants of San Francisco through the alleged indiffer ence, neglect and lack of concerted action, was decided upon today at a meeting of the trade and commerce committee of the Merchants' Ex change. Steps were taken immediately to organize a traffic bureau, with an ex perienced traffic manager in charge, which will be a central organization for the mercantile bodies of this city, whose object will be to see that mer chants, manufacturers, wholesalers and jobbers of San Francisco receive rail road and water rates that will enable them to regain the territory taken away by other cities, particularly Los Angeles. POSTPONE EXPOSITION. French Soldier Punished for Attempt at Blackmail. Bordeaux, Aug. 28. An extraordi nary story was told at the court mar tial today, ,of a, member of the military ambulance corps, Camille Marquet, who was charged with attemntimr to blackmail President Roosevelt. Ac cording to the evidence before the court, Marquet wrote to the president on January 9, demanding on behalf of my society," without other specifica tion, '$2,000 on account of services rendered during the presidential elec tion," and promising further "im mense help." Receiving no reply to this demand, Marquet wrote again on March 9, threatening a scandal "which will cast dishonor upon the whole family unless the money is forthcoming at a fixed date." In conclusion tho writer said "The highest heads are no longer safe on their shoulders: look at Portu gal." The president handed the letters to the French consul general, who com municated with the French police, Marquet was brought up for court martial, but the court, in consideration of the good character of the youth, sentenced him to six days' imprison ment, giving him the benefit of the first offender's law. Work on a new recitation building to relievo tho over-crowded condition of other buildings is being pushed, and it is hoped to have it ready for use soon after the opening of the session, The girls' dormitory has been com pletcd and furnished. A number of new student club houses have been erected during the summer. The work of improving the campus is being pushed as rapidly as possible. The number of students will prob ably be from a third to a half greater than last year. Applications for ad mission are coming to the registrar rapidly, and the number on file is much larger than usual at this time. The freshman class will number between 200 and 250 students. The fall session begins Tuesday, September 22. New Law Congests Traffic. Pendleton As a result of tho opera tion of the 16-hour law, O. R. & N freight trains passing over the Blue mountains between Pendleton and La Grande are frequently "tied up" at a mountain station when the 16-hour day of the tram crew ends. Under the law the train cannot be run into a terminal on "overtime" as formerly. This week two long freight trains were "tied up" at the end of their 16-hour day at Duncan and five engines were coupled together and taken to Kamela where coal and water for the engines and meals for the crews were to be had while waiting for the 10-hour per iod of rest between the 16-hour days to end. CARPET WORTH THOUSANDS Japanese Public Clamoring Against Vast Expense. Tokio, Aug. 27. The unpopularity of President Kaneko, of the Tokio ex position, has caused difficulties which may result in the postponement of the trreat exposition, which is now set for 1912. The people are clamoring against the methods of Kaneko in spending great sums of government money and the re ports of the postponement have been so frequent that today the minister of agriculture and commerce found it ne cessary to issue a formal denial. He said the exposition would be held at the time set, but even this assurance is not sufficient to quiet the reports. The strained industrial and financial situation in Japan is the matter upper most in the minds of most of the peo ple and there is a widespread feeling that the government chose a poor time to oro to the enormous expense of hold iner the first great world's fair in the Orient. America Kindest to Imbeciles. London, Aug. 27. That America far surpasses England in the caro of her idiotic insane is the report published today by the royal commission appoint ed to investigate American methods. The commission recently returned from the United States. Nearly every state was visited, and the report says that with few exceptions the American sys tem was found superior to the lintish. The report recommends that the Brit ish government adopt a system that embodies the best features of the meth da in vogue in several states. Floor Covering of U. S. Mint Filled With Gold Dust. San Francisco, Aug. 28. The car pet floor of the adjusting room at the San Francisco mint is about worn out and after the old covering has been taken up it will be handled with far more care than the new one. It will be many times more valuable, because it is literally lined with gold. The old carpet will be burned and from the ashes the Treasury department officials expect to realize about $5,000. In the adjusting room files are used to trim surplus gold from the coins after being stamped. It frequently happens that the overweight filings thus taken off fall to the floor and be come imbedded in tne carpet. The very best carpets are purchased for this room, so that the closely-woven material will hold securely the scat tered particles of gold. It is nothing unusual for the govern ment to get $5,000 worth of cold dust out of the ashes resulting from the burning of one of these carpets. Extension Nears Completion. Wallowa By September 5, if the present rate of progress is maintained by the O. R. & N. tracklaying crew, the whistle of the O. R. & N. construc tion locomotives will pierce the long waiting silence of the Wallowa valley. The work of laying track on the Wal lowa extension is now progressing toward this valley at the rate of two miles per day, and the tracklaying crew has crossed the Wallowa river near Grand Ronde and is now working directly toward this place. The main Wallowa river canyon, 16 miles in length, is all that intervenes be tween tho end of the track and this place. Would Curb Middlemen. Salt Lake, Aug. 28.

LAW BENEFITS STATE. School Attendance In a Majority of Counties Shows Increase Salem Tho operation of Oregon's new compulsory education law which has been under one year of prnctical demonstration haB been very satisfac tory according to tho reports received by Superintendent of Public Instruc tion Ackorman. Tho statistics of the biennial report also bear out this state ment. There nro sovcral counties wore tho per cent of attendance has fallen down but nn esnecial effort Will bo made during tho approaching school vear to extend the operation of tho law. Under this law parents may bo fined from $5 to $25 if they do not compel their children to go to school. Tho law provides that truant officers bo appoint ed for ovcry district in tho state to re ceivo $2 for each dny's work. The truant officer may notify tho par ents first and then if not action is tak en a complaint will bo brought against them in court. Tho county supcrin tendents must furnish each teacher with tho census roll of their district, Tho teacher is compelled to report overy four weeks those who arc not at tending school. If the superintendents or teachers violate any of theso pro visions they nro subject to a fine of from $5 to $20. Families From the East. Portland One thousand Central Illi nois farmers ure packing up thoir household goods nnd preparing to move to Oregon before next spring. They havo made theirarrangements to come out by special trains to Southern Ore gon and will settle on tho military road grant in Lake and Harney countieB. This is probably tho largest emigration from one point to a Western state since the days of tho old Oregon trnil, and will bring a particularly desirable class of farmers and residents into Southern Oregon. Information of the proposed movement reached the cham ber of commerce this week through a letter from Henry I. Wallace, of Clay ton, Adams county, Illinois, who asked for additional information regarding the military road grant and said that over 1,000 families from Adamsjand neighboring counties had completed all their arragnements to como to Oregon this year. Prepare to Pick Prunes. Roseburg Prunegrowers of Douglas county are finishing the work of get ting ready to take care of the coming crop, a great many of the growers building additional driers, and some of them who havo heretofore used their neighbors' driers to take care of their trop, are this year erecting buildings of their own. The heavy heavy frosts in the early spring will cause the yield to be slightly less than that of last year, but at the present price of prunes the growers will receive more money than they did last year. Complains to Railroad Commission. Salem George E. Brey, a shipper at Suver, on tho West Side branch of the Southern Pacific, has entered a com plaint with the railroad commission. There is a spur at that place where farmers may load their produce into cars. Brey says that after loading, tho cars are left on the spur for thn o or four days, where they may be pil fered easily. He does not ask for a station agent, but merely less delay in picking up loaded cars. PORTLAND MARKETS. PROBES AMERICAN MINE8. Riirlnn Exnort Gomos as Guost of a Government. Now York, Aug. 20.
