Down in r tho j,,' abyss,' where the yawning break to the sewer is plainly, visible from the street, the tiny stream which .swelled Into a destructive flood, races through the ;; orevice on its way to the river. .. The r water, assisted by the pilings and 1 . boards placed near the damaged sewer Ji by the engineering' department, has solved the problem which Is raised, by 1 its own efforts. A number of Biles and boards had been placed near the break to keep back the dirt and debris and .. prevent further., clogging of the outlet. At 4:30 yesterday, afternoon a tiny crevice- appeared in the earth above , the damaged portion." The water began pouring through the crack and the flood fell perceptibly within a short time. It rushed too violently at first, and soon the hole was again filled with dirt and debris. Later in the afternoon the ewer again, opened Itself and within a hour the high waters - had subsided. Today a small stream rushes unmolested through . lta normal course, and, the .flood is thpught to be ended. Dirt has been excavated near the place and unless the surrounding em bankments cave In the sewer - can be . mended without trouble.

About ' ,$70 of. this amount is contributed by the flocal "Rollers" who were formerly fol lowers of the rascally fugitive. Reports are current here that Creffleld has been ' In Corvallls within the paat week. A man claims te have walked with Creffleld' on the railroad track last ' Thursday . evening, . and declares that jwhen they neared the city limits the apostle suddenly left the track and hur ried away through the brush toward the .'Willamette. The person who tells this 1 story, however, has never met Creffleld, and. claims to have recognised the trav ' eler from the descriptions of .the' re ligious crank, which belief was further - strengthened by the fact that the fellow carried a Bible under his arm. A fort that lends color to the report ' Is the disappearance Friday night of Mrs. Maud Hurt-Creffleld, who has been at the house of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. ' O. V. Hurt. In South Corvallls. No one knows her whereabouts, but many be lieve that she left In company with her husband. ; " . Three persons who know him by sight claim to have seen Creffleld. Two of these assert that they saw the apostle board the 1:20 train from Portland yes terday afternoon. '. Search of vacant houses about town and of the Frank Hurt house haa been .made without avail. No ene believes Creffleld to be hereabouts at present.

WATERS SUBSIDE sway for so long, there is a scene of desolation. : Across the field, coated with a six-Inch-layer of mud, are strewn the relics of . its former : . attractiveness. Many-colored poles are. plied in con fusion about the grounds, while gaudily painted ticket booths were tossed about at random by the waves. It will be days before repairs can be made. Under the Exposition building," where the water reached a depth of nine feet, there is only mud and heaps of logs and boards. A small portion of the wall was washed away, but the building sustained no material damage.. Residents. of the neighborhood say they have lost 320,000 by the flood. - ; 'u; t'i ' A..- '-,, ,'.. - "I think the loss will reach no such figure," said City Engineer .Elliott, to day. "Of course, I .cannot tell, for I have been too busy trying to repair the sewer , and1 prevent other"- damage. : I think the trouble is over for good now, and that there will be no other damage." - February 23 the Tanner creek sewer became choked and residents of the vicinity claim to have made complaint to the city engineer. A gang of men was sent to the scene -and the sewer mended. A, few days later, however. It broke again at Alder and Fifteenth streets, and the water soon filled .the tow lands In the -.neighborhood, almost reaching the. floor of engine house No. 3 and surrounding buildings.' The "de fect in the sewer was again remedied by . the engineering department. ' Marc 8 it broke again and the waters flooded the neighborhood. . A force of men was at. once, put to work and piles were driven into the earth in the hope of breaking a way through ' the debris which clogged the sewer. As soon as a small passageway for the water was made, it rushed through with such force that the piling was snapped , off and washed into the mouth of the sewer, which again became choked. " March 14 dynamite was used for the purpose of blowing away the debris. The explosion' caused the falling in of huge piles of loose dirt, by which the sewer was choked even more hopelessly than before. . March 30 a quantity of loose dirt was removed and the pile-driver was again brought Into action. By hammer ing a pile up and down, a small aper ture was made In the sewer, through which the torrent rushed rapidly.. The explosion of the day before had loosened the dirt to such an extent that it began to give way and fall Into the water that waa ' flowing through the opened sewer.. Within a quarter of an hour the sewer had again become choked. rolled It out into the mud. Fortunately,' he waa not badly hurt. - Adams went into the box to report to the station at' 8 o'clock, and a he pulled the spring the wind blew . the door shut and then blew down the box. The imprisoned officer was unable to extricate himself,' and had to remain in the box until . rescued by Patrolman Baty, who patrols the-beat with him.

To make disposition of the olty's garbage without the usual odors Is the request which haa been made of Mayor Williams by 3. B. .Livingston of Cleve land. O. He claims' to have successfully operated a- device In a number of the larger cities by which . the garbage is destroyed; practically without coat to the city and In a way that la decidedly beneficial to unitary conditions. The proposition - was made in a letter re ceived by the mayor this morning. "I am sorry to be unable to addreaa you without your Initials," the letter says, "but the clipping from which I receive my information only mentions Mayor Williams.' However, this un doubtedly will reach you and get before you the subject matter of my letter. "From the clipping It is evident that Portland, like numerous other cities. Is agitated over the question of garbage disposal, and I see by the clipping be fore me that you contemplate separating your garbage from the aahea and rub bish. - This Is now being done in al) the large cities, both for economlo and sanitary reasons, and if the city de cides to make this division of its wastes it would place us In a position to make a proposition to you for the destruction of the garbage portion and save you the K.ooo, or more,, necessary for new fur naces, not taking into account the an nual expense of operating same.. "it the city would be willing- to de liver the garbage free to our plant,' we could afford to destroy It without any cost, as unaer our process "we derive sufficient fertiliser to pay for the cost of operation and profits sufficient to war rant the erection of such a plant It would be necessary, 1 however, for ' the cjty to grant us a license for a num ber of years, as the machinery is quite expensive, it being-the first and onlv process that has ever been patented for nanaung garoage witnout any odors. We are now operating this machinery in almost the heart of Cleveland, and have no trouble at all with any odors. Should the matter prove sufficiently Interesting to you, we will be glad to go Into fur ther details looking to the erection of a plant' in Portland." Mayor Williams . Is pleased with the proposition to dispose of the city's gar bage and will Investigate the plan. ." . 1 1 i ii -i.'i. -'i '', HUAKBOBO OOTJTBT C0BTBVX8. . (Hearit Special Berrice.) .

Pkrkea of Pendleton, charged with com plicity in , the , Cunningham land fraud case. . The Jury finished its examination of witnesses in the case late yesterday afternoon, and while no report haa been made, both Hartman and Parkes are of the opinion that the information, when returned, will read "Not a ti;ue bUl.The fate of Charles Cunmngnam 'and the others is a matter of conjecture. John H. Hall, United States district attorney, who conducted the case before the grand Jury, went to Roeeburg last night and Will not return until tomorrow.

Parkes will return home tonight "I'm not worried over the result of the grand Jury 'a investigation," said Mr. Parkes, with a smile. "I don't know what action the jury haa taken in my case," ; Tif- :v.;;-: '. Reports from Pendleton say that the rumor that Hartman and Parkes had been acquitted waa. circulated in that city last night. The informations against Hartman and Parkes charged that tney made affi davits for homestead applicants, know ing them to be untrue.

The men' were arrested at Oregon City about two months ago by Postofflce In spectors Riches and Butler. Several or ders bought at the Portland office and made payable In Oregon City are held aa evidence. It is alleged the orders were raised from a few cents to sums ranging from $12 to $16. Aclda and blot ters used, in erasing ink were found in the men's possession. They are said to have also operated at Vancouver. , Several Indian witnesses are In the city today from the Silets reservation to give evidence In the perjury charge against Joe Cook. Cook is an Indian and at the recent trial of Abe Logan, charged with murdering U. S. Grant he told of a conspiracy that he heard concocted whereby the death of Grant waa to be fastened on Logan. An at tempt is being made to prove that Cook was several miles away, from the place he declares he was when he overheard the alleged conspiracy.

Eighteen thousand enameled street signs, which war ordered soma months ago by the executive board, have reached the city,, and a gang of men will be put to work during the latter part of the week placing them in position along the city's thoroughfares. The signs are at the city barn, and another a.000 are ex pected to arrive within a short time. The work of putting the signs upon telegraph and telephone poles in the city will be done systematically. Each street will be marked separately, and no algna will be posted on other streets until the street which waa begun is finished. It is likely that the engineering department will make Washington street its starting-point. It ia believed that the work will be completed within two weeks. The signs will be attached to a board probably a foot In length, which will be faatened to the poles. Nearly a hun dred thousand brass screws will be nec essary in the work of placing the signs.
