One-third of an inch of rain fell Tuesday and proved aufficient to de velop another small torrent on either side of Main street. Flooding of .Main street is an unwelcome inno vation this winter, and in due to the condition of adjacent summer fallow, from whirh the water runs off as from a slob of concrete. Thus far in February the precipitation has to taled two inches, according to Ob server Baker, compared with zero in the same month last year. Pine creek yesterday was almost at the flood stage.

He reports the lowland roads on his route, No. 2, to be in such bad condition as to render team travel slow and difficult. The mountain roads are good due to the activity and public spirit of the upland people. , During the past two weeks Mrs. J. N. York haa suffered a painful and serious illness with neuralgia. The county court has ordered a survey made of tho proposed new road up Weston mountain. The route leads up Hale creek to the foot of Ryan grade.

MABEL CARMICHAEL . At about nine o'clock Tuesday night Mrs. Mabel Cannichael was found lying in a field near the school house on Dry creek by Mr. R. liupps, the teacher, who lives near by. Her screams brought him to her assistance. A heavy rain storm had occurred, and the unfortunate woman's cloth ing was completely soaked. She was in such a state of exhaustion as to be wholly unahle to give an account of herself. She was cared for during the night at the Hupps res idence and was conveyed next day to the home of her uncle, Dr. S. L. Kcnnard, in Weston, where she has since been under the care of Dr. C. H. Smith. Mrs. Carmichael has rallied to some extent but is yet quite vague concerning her experience, and has not been pressed for details by her anxious relatives because of her se rious condition. She says that she came to Walla Walla on the train from Seattle, and was taken "from the latter city by two men in an au tomobile, and that they put her out of the car somewhere "in the dark." It was found that she had evidently crossed the Dry creek bridge, had come in contact with a bnrb wire fence, had waded through a rushing torrent of flood water and had tramped aimlessly back and forth in the field where she was found. A hand bag containing a pocket book, which she had dropped, was recovered the next day. She has not as yet disclosed the identity of tho two men of the mysterious car. Mrs. Carmichael is the divorced wife of Geo. B. Carmichael, a young farmer north of Weston, and since the couple's separation a few months ago has been living with her mother in Seattle. She is supposed to have come back to effect some sort of bus iness settlement. She is a young woman of culture and refinement, a trained singer and musician, and is highly regarded in the Weston neighborhood.
