BAD FLOODIN SOUTH
Fire Follows Deluge at Auyusta,
Causing Heavy Damage.
LOSS WILL REACH HALF MILLION
Three Deaths ?Ar Reported Union
Depot Inundated to Depth of
Ten Feet.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 27. A long dis
tance telephone message from the As
sociated Press correspondent from
Augusta says that the city Is complete
ly under water. In the down town
portion business houses, telegraph
offices and newspaper offices are com
pletely demoralized.
There were three deaths in Augusta
yesterday, two white pooplo and one
negro.
The damage, it is estimated, will
reach half a million dollars.
At 8:30 last night it was learned
through the single wire of the Georgia
Railroad company, working partly Into
Augusta, that the largo cotton ware
house and the wholesale grocery ware
houses of tho Nixon company wero
burning.
The union depot is under ten feet of
water, and in the best residence dis
trict the water stands six feet deep
and is slowly rising. .
The report of the fires in tho Nixon
warehouses cannot be confirmed. A
telegraph operator said he could not
get near enough on account of the
water, but that the fires wero burning
in the vicinity of the big warehouses.
The floods in the Carolinas and Geor
gia culminated in the breaking of the
big dam six miles from Augusta, which
diverts the water from the Savannah
river into the canal at that point. The
great flood of water let loose soon
found its way into the city, and last
night, from Fifteenth street to the
Eastern boundary, Augusta was under
from six to 12 feet of water, which is
gradually rising.
FIGHT TO REGAIN TRADE.
San Francisco Merchants Will Or
ganize Traffic Bureau.
San Francisco, Aug. 27. An aggres
sive commercial campaign to recover
trade lost to the merchants of San
Francisco through the alleged indiffer
ence, neglect and lack of concerted
action, was decided upon today at a
meeting of the trade and commerce
committee of tho Merchants' Ex
change. Steps were taken immediately to
organize a traffic bureau, with an ex
perienced traffic manager in charge,
which will bo a central organization
for the mercantile bodies of this city,
whose object will bo to see that mcr
chants, manufacturers, wholesalers and
jobbers of San Francisco receive rail
road and water rates that will enable
them to regain the territory taken
away by other cities, particularly Los
Angeles.
POSTPONE EXPOSITION.
Japanese Public Clamoring Against
Vast Expense.
Toklo, Aug. 27. Tho unpopularity
of President Kaneko, of the Tokio ex
position, has caused difficulties which
may result in the postponement of tho
great exposition, which is now set for
1912.
The people are clamoring against the
methods of Kaneko in spending great
sums of government money and tho re
ports of the postponement have been
bo frequent that today the minister of
agriculture and commerce found it ne
cessary to issue a formal denial. Ho
said the exposition would be held at
the time set, but even this assurance
ts not sufficient to quiet tho reports.
The strained industrial and financial
situation in Japan is the matter upper
most in the minds of most of tho peo
ple and there is a widespread feeling
that the government chose a poor timo
to go to the enormous expense of hold
ing the first great world's fair in the
Orient.
America Kindest to Imbeciles.
London, Aug. 27. That America far
surpasses England in the care of her
Idiotic insane ia the report published
today by the royal commission appoint
ed to investigate American methods.
The commission recently returned from
the United States. Nearly every state

with few exceptions the American sys
tem was found superior to the British.
Tho report recommends that the Brit
ish government adopt a system that
embodies the best features of the meth
ods in voguo in several states.

Aberdeen, S. D Aug. 27. Tho au
thorities here are investigating the
raids on Lowry and Alaska Sunday
night by a company of armed and
raewied men. Absolutely no cluo to

TRIES GAME ON ROOSEVELT.
French Soldier Punished for Attempt
at Blackmail.
Bordeaux, Aug. 28. An extraordi
nary story was told at the court mar
tial today.Jof amember of the military
ambulance corps, Camille Marquet,
who was charged with attempting to
blackmail President Roosevelt. Ac
cording to the evidence before the
court, Marquct wrote to tho president
on January 9, demanding on behalf of
"my society," without other specifica
tion, "$2,000 on account of services
rendered during the presidential elec
tion," and promising further "Im
mense help."
Receiving no reply to this demand,
Marquct wrote again on March 9,
threatening a scandal "which will cast
dishonor upon the whole family unless
the money Is forthcoming at a fixed
date." In conclusion the writer said:
"The highest heads are no longer
safe on their shoulders; look at Portu
gal."
The president handed the letters to
tho French consul general, who com
municated with the French police.
Marquct was brought up for court
martial, but the court, in consideration
of the good character of the youth,
sentenced him to six days' imprison
ment, giving him the benefit of the
first offender's law.
CARPET WORTH THOUSANDS
Floor Covering of U. S. Mint Filled
With Gold Dust.
San Francisco, Aug. 28. The car
pet floor of the adjusting room at the
San Francisco mint ia about worn out
and after tho old covering has been
taken up it will be handled with far
more care than the new one. It will
be many times more valuable, because
it is literally lined with gold. The
old carpet will be burned and from tho
ashes the Treasury department officials
expect to realize about $5,000.
In the adjusting room files are used
to trim surplus gold from the coins
ufter being stamped. It frequently
happens that the overweight filings
thus taken ofT fall to tho floor and be
come imbedded In tho carpet. The
very best carpets are purchased for
this room, so that tho closely-woven
material will hold securely tho scat
tered particles of gold.
It is nothing unusual for tho govern
ment to get $5,000 worth of gold dust
out of the ashes resulting from the
burning of one of these carpets.
Would Curb Middlemen.
Salt Lake, Aug. 28. Resolutions
approving tho plan for national stor
age of tho Western wool crop were

where tho central storage market will
bo established and to form a corpora
tion to carry out the elimination
or curbing of tho middlemen and giv
ing tho Western woolgrowers control
of the sale of their product.

tion locomotives will pierce tho long
waiting silence of the Wallowa valley.
The work of laying track on the Wal
lowa extension is now progressing
toward this valley at the rate of two
miles per day, and the tracklaying
crew has crossed tho Wallowa river
near Grand Hondo and is now working
directly toward this place. The

LAW BENEFITS STATE.
School Attendance In n Majority of
Counties Shows Increase.

new compulsory education law which

demonstration has been very satisfac
tory according to tho reports received

nois farmers nre packing up their
household goods ami preparing to move
to Oregon before next spring. They
have made their arrangements to come
out by special trains to Southern Ore
gon ami will settle on the military mad
grant in Lake ami Harney counties.
This is probably the largest emigration
from one jwlnt to a Western state
since the days of the old Oregon trail,
and will bring a particularly desirable
class of farmers ami residents Into
Southern Oregon. Information of the
proposed movement reached tho cham
ber of commerce this week through n

building additional driers, nml some of
them who hove heretofore used their
neighlors' driers to tnku rare of their
crop, are this year erecting buildings
