AIRSHIPS FOR ARMY
HIGH WATER COMING.

THREE DEPOTS ON EAST COAST
Gonoral Allon, Chief of Signal Corps,
to Submit Plans to Congress
Would Patrol Coasts.
Washington, June 3. Under the in
struction of Brigadier-General Allen,
chief of the signal corps of the army,
plana have been prepared, it was
nounccd tonight, showing what is neces
sary for the aerial defense of the
United States. If congress would ap
propriate the money he would begin at
three points along the Atlantic coast
Washington, New York and Philadel
phia where dirigible balloonB and aer
oplanes would be stationed. At each
point one large balloon and an aeroplane
would be placed. This Would require
more than $500,000. General Allen
has had prepared a map showing points
along the other borders of the country
and in the interior where he believes
there should be aerial defense stations.
To carry out the entire scheme would
require about ?5,UUU,UU(J. The war
department is convinced, in the light
of achievements of the Zeppelin balloon,
that aerial navigation has arrived.
In anticipation of favorablo action
by congress, the signal corps has been
instructed to prepare the plans re
ferred to.
"It is intended," said an army officer
tonight, that the coast dirigible shall
not pass off its own station except in
cescb of extremity and that the sailing
distance shall be 125 miles south and
125 miles north from its depot. In
this.manner the entire coast from Maine
to Florida will be patrolled and in case
of war it will be virtually impossible
for a hostile fleet to approach the coast
of the United States without being
discovered long before the sentinels on
land could see the vessels. Once dis
covered, the fleet's movements could
be watched with safety and with the
use of wireless its maneuvers could be
sent the length of the coast.
"The plans will include an elaborate
system of vertical searchlights, by
which the airships will be guided dur
ing the night flights. These lights
will mark the various batteries and
the balloon depots and they also will be
used in signaling the swiftly flying
ships overhead. Most of the signaling,
however, probably will be done through
the medium of the wireless.
Snake River Nbar Record Potnt
Kootenai Rising
Lowiston, Idaho, June 4. Lewiston
is experiencing tha highest wator since
15 years ago today, when practically
one-half of tho business district and
much of tho residence section wast
submerged. Tho Snako river at that
time registered about 18 foot, and tho
reading this ovening.is 17.8 feet, with
every indication of a further riso to
morrow. Tho city is in no danger of
flood damage at this time, bocauso of
tho high railroad dykes which afford
ample protection on both river fronts.
The Clearwater rivor has boon rising
rapidly for tho past several days and
reports tonight from Kamiah, 50 miles
above Lewiston, stated all of the false
work and one of tho cement piers for
the new wagon bridge being con
structed there have been carried away.
Old-timers who have experienced
soveral of the most Bevero floods be
lieve Itho highest water has been
reached unless warm rains prevail
within tho next two dayB. The Bnow
has disappeared from tie Blue moun
tains from the Lewiston view, and in
most years this has been regarded as
indicative of an early subsiding of the
waters.
Up to this time no severe damage
his been reported from any section.
British Columbia Suffers.
Vancouver, B. C, Juno 4. Heavy
rains, followed by warm weather, have
ceused all the rivers and streams in
the Kootenay tableland of British Col
umbia to rise in flood, and, according
to advices received from interior points
today, the waters are still rising.
Along the line of the Canadian Pacific
railway between Nelson and Slocan
City there have been a number of
washouts, with the result that rail
communication is interrupted.
Passengers are being handled by
boats between Nelson and Roscberry,
but freight traffic is at a standstill.
The Columbia river is reported to be
rising more rapidly than any of the
other streams in the interior.

SKELETONS REVEAL GOLD.
I
Trapper Stumbles Onto Remains
.Prospectors In Tunnel
Portland Two skolotons, supposed
to be tho remains of pioneer English
prospectors, were found last week
an old mino tunnol Bituated in tho Cab
cade forest reserve, at a point about
60 miles from Boring and 50 miles
from tho Sandy river. Noar tho sko
etons wero a shovol, pickax, frying
pan and two rock drills. Tho finding
of the bones led to tho discovery of tho
existonco of a rich vein of gold and
silver ore.
Tho bones wero located by Potor
Stone, a huntor and trapper, who ncci
dentally stumbled into tho old tunnel
the entrance to which was overgrown
by brush and small trees. The tunno
has a 45-foot faco and a crosscut ox
tending back GO feet.
Old sottlers in the vicinity Bay that
the remains are probably those
Englishmen who wero prospecting
that vicinity and who were last seen in
1858. That tho remains havo been
tho tunnel about 50 years was indicat
ed by tho presence of a treo 18 inches
thick directly over tho entrance. Thero
was nothing to indicato the manner of
the deaths, whether violent or from
natural causes.
The old mino is closo by a deep,
narrow valley and a waterfall, and has
been given the appropriate name of
"Lost Mine." Ralnh Treau. an as
sayist located in Portland, went to tho
place, and returned with tho roport
that a vein rich in gold, silver, lead
and galena was tapped by tho old tun
nel. Tho lodo has a 10-foot faco and
extends three miles. Tho ground has
been taken possession of and will be
worked.
OREGON OFFICES GAIN.
FEVER SHIP ENDS VOYAGE.
STRIKERS GAIN GROUND.
Capture Light Plant and Place City
in Darkness.
Sisson, Cal., June 3. While state
troops are on the way to McCloud to
suppress lawlessness, the power house
and lighting plant at that place were
captured by the striking shingle mill
hands today, and the town is in dark
ness tonight. Between three and four
hundred armed strikers marched on the
plant in a body late tonight, drove off
the 25 armed deputy sheriffs on guard,
and took possession, compelling the
men at work to quit. The deputies re
ceived warning of the intention of-the
strikers to capture the plant, but they
deemed it useless to attempt resistance
and left when ordered to do so. Not a
shot was fired and no one was hurt.
Six hundred strikers formed in line
and paraded the streets this afternoon.
There was no disorder, but, with ban-
ners flying, the men tramped by the
company a store and offices as though
on review.
Sheriff Howard admitted this after
noon that he needed help to handle the
situation. In reply to the sharp criti
cism of Governor Gillett, who declared
that the peace officer should have ar
rested the ringleader, he said that to
have done so would have precipitated a
riot be could not hope to quell and
which must have resulted in the loss of
human life.
Three Die En Route and Captain
Buries All, Including Wife.
victoria, ts. u. Completing a voy
age of 48 days from Santa Rosalia des
tined to be memorable on account of a
desperate fight with fever, waged al
most from port to port, the ship
Springbank reached Royal Roads today,
reporting tnree deaths en voyage
those of Mrs. Royal, the captain's
wife: Stewart Lund, and Able Seaman
Jrhnson all of whom were buried at
sea, the grief-stricken captain reading
the burial service for each.
The voyage up was made very diffi
cult, as two-thirdB of tho crew of 28
men were at ne time incapacitated by
fever, while the others were too weak
to perform their duties, save with
difficulty. Two are still fever-Btricken.
The Springbank arrived off tho strait
two weeks ago, and has ever since been
endeavoring to work her way in.
