of the muddy torrent. 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

a hour the high waters - had subsided.

(Special. Dispatch te The JooraaL)
Corvallls, Or., March 23. A reward of
$100 la offered here today for the cap
' ture of "Holy Roller" Creffleld. 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.

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

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.

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

"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. ' i- V .
- The charges of raising postpfflce money
orders brought - against Hugh Carpen
ter, George Willis and William. Mills
are being investigated today by the Jury.
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.
Tomorrow is the date set for the
hearing of the Information charging

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.
Only a limited supply of these la on

UNION AVE. BRIDGE
HELD TO BE SAFE
Passengers on Union avenue cars who
quake when they rattle across the Sulli
van gulch .bridge have no cause foi
alarm, aooordlng to officers of the com
pany and the city engineer. Since the
bridge was demolished, people who are
forced to cross the car bridge have be
come alarmed, - and the company em
ployes at headquarters have been kept
busy telling them that It Is quite safe
to ride across the bridge, which has re
cently been closed to wagon traffic
. After the barricade waa Installed City
Engineer Elliott and General Manager
Fuller, of tho company, made a thorough
examination of the bridge and the com
pany carried out the engineer's sugges
tion, and practically rebuilt the struc
ture. Bridges across SulUvan's gulch
are not built on pilea after the faahion
of ordinary structures. Engineers who
have attempted to discover tho bottom
of the gulch have had difficulty. Piles
(0 feet in length sink completely out
of sight at one stroke from a . pile

The bridge Is built on the trestle plan
which was recently renewed and pro
nounced safe by the engineer The oar
track has a separata trestle, aside from
the rest of the bridge. It is believed
that the trestle would not be affected
