Exciting Succession of Events to
Denizens a Few Miles West.
People who live along the north
bank of the Umatilla below the city,
report that the water came up so sud
denly. on Wednesday morning that
many did not realize the seriousness
of the situation until their horses had
been surrounded. At the Joe Snyder
place the water surrounded the house
and Mrs. Snyder was forced to wade
through water waist deep to reach a
place of safety. The family of Charles
Kidder escaped Just In time and took
refuge In the school house until after
the flood.
While it would be Impossible to
give a detailed list of the losses suf
fered by farmers along) the river, the
following account of the expoi icnccs
of several along the north bank will
show the nature of the loss:
At the R. L. Oliver place the river
changed Its channel and Is now run
ning through the , farm. Several
thousand dollars worth of alfalfa was
ruined and other damage done.
On the William Daniel place, where
I the De Latour family lives, the garden
was washed away as was also 15 cords
of wood and many chickens. On the
Hill place, where the Bnughman fam

that cities, towns and municipalities
throughout the United States observe
Flag Day, which Is June 14. The cir
cular says In part:
June 2, 1898, the American Flag' as
sociation was formed. The flag had
been improperly used, but there were
many loyal citizens who thought it
should be held sacred and not put to
uses which would teach young Amer-
leans to look upon Its folds with less
reverence than it was regarded by
themselves.
It was becoming common to see It
used as a trademark, as advertising a
special brand of cigars and In other
ways It was put to uses which de
graded and desecrated It, The object
of the American Flag association was
to prevent these abuses, and to se
cure a general celebration of June 11
us "Flag Day." because on that day In
the vear 177T congress selected the
flag of the United States.
Both of the purposes for which the
association was formed have been ac
compllshed. The putting of the flag
to ignoble uses has been stopped and
June 14 has been set apart by con
gress to be observed as "Flag Day" all
over tne United States.
DOUBLE TRACK NORTH BANK.
Ilariinuui Offers Terms of Settlement
to the Hill People.
The Portland Oregonian of Friday
says of the Hlll-Harriman railroad
war:
That the struggle between Hill and
namman on the north bank of the
Columbia may result in a double
tracK line from Wallula to Portland
giving four railroads access to this
city Instead of the two Hill lines that
will gain entrance by the Portland &
Seattle railway. Is the latest develop
ment in tne warfare between the rival
railways.
overtures have been made. It is
learned, to President Howard Riiintt
of the Northern Pacific, by a repre
sentative or the Harrlman Interests
for a double track dOWn ttlA rlvnf

pay an equal share of construction.
This step throws the onna nt hinok

TRAILING THE PEDDLERS.
Said to Result In Driving Them Out
of Business.
According to the Dayton Courier-
Press, the scheme works as follows In
Walla Walla and Columbia counties-
As the result of the trailing: system.
which made life unbearable to the
buggy peddlers, they have consented-
to leave Walla Walla and Columbia
counties for good, and the hardware
dealers In the two counties have
achieved what they have been trying
to ao tor months. The plan has cost
the local dealers considerable money,
but they have rid themselves Of the
buggy peddler pest.
When the peddlers were In Walla
Walla county several weeks ago the
dealers pursued the same means to rid
themselves of the nuisance and they
succeeded temporarily. The travelers
returned, however, and started opera
tions from Wallula. Hearing of this
new Invasion, the dealers started In
operation the same system and It
worked successfully. Wherever a
peddler started to tell a farmer of the
good points of his wares, a trailer
would be there to tell of the benefits
derived by patronizing home Indus
tries. The trailer wag always suc

BE TI WEEKS
DEPENDS VVOy RAPIDITY
OF REPAIRS ON HIGHWAYS.
Flood Which Swept Away tlie Six-Ton
Transformers at the Power Plant,
Had Great Force Twelve Hundred
Feet of Flume Was Torn Out, Which
Comprises the Greatest Damage
Done Small Bridged Taken Out
Bodily, and Some Abutments ol
Larger Bridges.
, The lights will be on again within
two weeks, provided the roads are
repaired so that supplies may be
taken to the power plant," said Dr. F.
W. Vincent, local manager for the
Northwestern Gas & Electric company
thai morning.
Dr. Vincent has Just returned from
the power plant above Milton, having
left here for that place Thursday
morning accompanied by County Com
missioner Horace Walker, Upon their
arrival at the plant they found that
havoc had been wrought by the tor
rent that came down from the moun
tains Just after the heavy rains. Four
of the six big transformers had been
swept from their concrete foundations
and one was found 150 yards from its
station. As the transformers weigh
six tons each, the force of the water
must have been terrific to affect
them.
Also, 1200 feet of the flume was
washed away, and Dr. Vincent says
the greatest task is to repair that dam
age. However, he says that If the
roads can be made passable so that
lumber and other necessary material
may be taken to the ground from
Walla Walla, the plant will be ready
for operation within two weeks.
Abutment Waited Away.
According to Commissioner Horace
Walker, the large bridge In the Mil
ton country were not washed away,
but In many Instances the abutments
were washed out, thus making the
bridges Impassable. The small
bridges were washed away bodily, In
many instances.

Illinois PoMtmaster Writes "Eleventh
and Last" Letter and Hikes Out."
The eagerness with which fourth
class postmastershtps are sought
seems strange when one remembers
that the salaries are small and the
duties often" exacting.
No fourth-class postmaster receives
more than SI 000 a year. More than
half of them receive less than 2100 a
year; 14,000 receive less than 150 a
year; and hundreds of them receive
$10 or $12 a year.
Henry A. Castle, former auditor for
the postofflce department, recently
contributed to the Sunday Magazine
an article filled with curious Infor
mation concerning the fourth-class
postmaster and his idiosyncrasies.
Here, for example, in a facetious let
ter from an Illinois postmaster who
for some time hnd been vainly trying
to resign:
"But. anyhow, this time I am
unanimously through fiddling about
It, and this here ieventh and last res
ignation of mine has got to be ac
cepted, let the chips fall where they
may. Along about 4 o'clock this af
ternoon a passel of our best citizens
informed me in no uncertain tones
that if I wasn't up and gone by mid
night they 'lowed to tar and feather
and rail-ride me out of our law
abldln' little city, for a small matter
that It ain't necessary for me to go
into details at present; and a spell
ago a friend let me know that they
had reconsidered to the extent of de
cldln' to make it 9 o'clock Instead of
midnight, and were already a-bllln'
of the tar.
"So you see for yourself that It Is
high time for me to step down and
out. No more at present from, yours
truly, T. J. WACKERBACK."
"P. S. It's 8:42 right now, and
I'm gone."
