W ashington, D. C.— A new obstacle has arisen which may delay the issu ance of paten ts to S iletz hom esteaders under the Hawley bill. C hief of Spe cial A gents Sharp, a t Portland has telegraphed the general land office th a t he " th in k s ” he has found evi dence th a t options have been given on some S iletz lands and th a t “ possibly" some of these options may be on lands affected by the Haw ley bill. He has suggested the ad visability of delaying issuance of the p a te n ts while he can look into the m atter. Sharp also rep o rts th a t he does not know w hether those who are ’supposed to have offered options a re prepared to tak e them up and the understanding here is th a t land agents m ay have un dertaken to buy up these lands w ith out having the capital on hand to m ake the purchase if th e ir offer is accepted. If the In terio r departm ent acts on S h a rp ’s suggestions, issuance of paten ts under the Haw ley bill may be delayed indefinitely. FISH T O B E P L A N T E D .

St. L ouis—Thousands of flood spec tato rs w itnessed the th rillin g rescue of a fam ily of seven, from a sinking houseboat in the sw irling c u rren ts of the M ississippi R iver here. A houseboat in which a man, his w ife and five children lived, w as torn from its m oorings by driftw ood th a t was carried from flood points above. Soon a fte r being sw ept into the cur rent the frail c ra ft dragged over sunk en snags, stove in its bottom and be gan to sink. Two m otorboats rushed to the rescue and a fte r fighting off the heavy d rift, reached the side of the boat ju s t as the w ater was sw eeping over the deck. It sank w ithin five m inutes a fte r the last occupant had stepped to safety. The riv e r has reached 29.9 feet, a rise o f 4.10 fe e t in 24 hours. This m ark is .9 fe e t below flood stage and the w a ter has inundated the railroad trac k s along the levee. H alf a dozen expensive power boats have been loBt, but unless an unlooked-for rise occurs, no g re at dam age is expected a t St. Louis except to small shipping. Conditions in the flooded d istric t at Cairo a re serious and the situ atio n is grow ing g rav er every day. Both the M ississippi and the Ohio are rising a t Cairo and although the city proper can stand several fo rt more, anxiety is fe lt for the levees above and below the m outh of the Ohio. The D rin k w ater levee on the Mis sissippi side has broken, despite the efforts o f more than 1,000 men, and the w a ter is sw eeping over a three- m ile stre tc h of levee and flooding the southeastern section of Missouri.

Boats carried persons out of the D rinkw ater d istric t all day Sunday. The Iron M ountain train s w ere caught betw een the B ard’s Point and Charleston floods and th e passengers had to be taken off in boats.
