A wall of water 30 feet high was re leased. 4 Sweeping down the valley the great flood of water carried people, live stock and valuable farm property to de struction. Scores o f residents are missing. Houses on 26 ranches were swept away. The first news of the disaster reached here late Saturday. There had been no communication with the district since the disaster occurred, as wires were down and roads were impassable. A t least 25 Japanese men, women and children were reported to be among those lost. An area 15 miles long and two miles wide is devastated. Rescuers were unable to reach the scene of the disaster, as all bridges were washed out and the swollen streams were so treacherous that it was impossible to launch boats to go to the rescue. Several bodies have been seen float ing in the flood waters, according to reports received here. The coroner confirms etimatess that place the loss of life in the flood at 50. He said that many of the bodies had been washed out to sea. The breaking of the dam released 11,000,000,000 gallons of water, which rushed down through the thickly popu lated and narrow Otay valley. The property lose w ill amount to at least $1,000,000. Because of the fact that they were isolated by the break ing of the dam. which shut off any means of reaching other communities, hundreds of fam ilies in the vicinity are facing a food famine.

Brandéis, Boston Lawyer, Named for Supreme Court Bench Washington, D. C .— President W il son Saturday sent to the senate the nomination o f Louis D. Brandéis, law yer, of Boston, to be associate justice of the Supreme court in succession to the late Justice Lamar. The nomina tion was a complete Burprise in official circles. Mr. Brandéis’ name had not been mentioned publicly in connection with the place. Mr. Brandéis has been in the public eye fo r some years as a prolific w riter on economic topics and for his connec tion with labor and trust legislation. He attained some prominence six years ago as attorney fo r the interests which sought the removal from office o f Secretary B allinger in the noted Pinchot B allinger controversy. He was conusel later on fo r the shippers who opposed the general increases in freight rates before the Interstate commerce commission, and during the same period he was at the forefront of those who were demanding an investi gation of the financial affaira of the N e w Haven railroads. Mr. Brandéis represented the Ore gon Industrial W e lfa re commission last year in the case o f O ’H ara vs. Stettier, in the United States Supreme court, givin g the oral argument and preparing one of the briefs. The case is still pending in the court. Several years ago Judge Brandéis appeared be fore the Supreme court in the same capacity in the interest of the Oregon 10-hour law. In this case he appeared aa counsel for Illinois and Ohio as well. H e was, in 1910, chairman of the board of arbitration which settled the New York garment w orkers’ strike. W a r Is “ Only Beginning.” necessary preliminary to any action by SIR DAVID BEATTY States, State department officials were interested Thursday in a report from London that the Japanese government has revived all of the de mands on China included in the famous “ group five” o f the list submitted to the of proposals Pekin government more than a year ago for a permanent settlement 8lr David Beatty hat been promoted to bs a vice-admiral In the British navy.

Senator Chamberlain, chairman of the senate military committee, said he was confident his committee would turn out without great delay a well- rounded bill providing for all the ele ments of a national army of 1,000,000 or more men. Washington, D. C. — W ithin a month Representative Sinnott, of Oregon, e x pects to be wearing a fine felt hat made largely from the fu r of Oregon jackrabbits. Through Representative Edmonds the consignment of Oregon jackrabbit pelts received by Mr. Sinnott have been turned over to a Philadelphia factory, which manufacture high-grade felt hats. W ith the pelts went Mr. Sinnott’s head measurement. The manufacturer has written Mr. Sinnott acknowledging the furs, saying they will be thoroughly tested and promis ing him the first hat made from them. Washington, D. C.— Representative McCracken, of Idaho, has introducted a bill providing for the appointment of a board of engineers, three from the army, one from the Reclamation serv ice and one from civil life, to make a survey and plan with regard to cost of canalizing the Columbia river above Celilo to the mouth of the Snake river, of Snake river from ita mouth to Pittsburg landing, and of the C lear water river from ita mouth to Orofino. The bill appropriates $60,000 to meet expenses and fixes the salaries of members of the board at $6000 s year. N e gress to C ast Ballot. London — “ I think that for ua the the United Hood River, Or. — A t the coming of outstanding issues be tween Japan and China. There is a conviction in official cir cles here that any action at this time likely to have results to w arding off the new Japanese demands must be taken by the United States practically alone. W ith every evidence of sympathetic interest by the European entente allies in the attitude of opposition which the United States took when the proposals in the “ group five” originally were submitted, it is believed none of these powers w ill be inclined to take issue with Japan at a moment when they are leaning heavily on their Oriental ally, not only for munitions of war, but for military and naval protection of their interests in the Orient. The close study that has been made in Washington of the proposals em bodied in “ group five” has only con firmed officials in their original belief that if accepted in full by China, with out protest from other nations, they would lead not only to material and industrial, but even political domina tion of China by Japan. Japanese advisers for the Chinese government with resulting exclusion of all other foreign advisers from Pekin, it is felt, would place China completely under the political qontrol o f Japan. W h ile not prepared to make an issue on that point, however, the State de partment is convinced the other pro visions of "g ro u p fiv e " finally would close to American cbmmerce and en terprise the open door in China. General Disapproves Government Manufacture of War Munitions Washington, D. C.— Estimates were given the senate military committee Thursday by Brigadier General Croz- ier, chief of ordnance, showing that a plant costing $400,000,000, operated by a force o f 760,000 workmen, would bo required to manufacture ammuni tion and w ar materials necessary to keep an army of a million men in the field and equip an additional million recruits. General Crozier strongly disap proved any pro|iosal for government monopoly of war supplies, insisting that best results could be accomplished by relying on private establishments to supplement the output of govern ment plants in time of war. The committee received from Secre tary Garrison a draft of a tentative measure suggested by Senator Cham berlain, chairman of the committee, which would provide for the authoriza tion for the proposed continental army in general terms only, leaving the de tails of tbe proposed system to be worked out by W a r department regu lations. The original draft of a bill submitted by the W a r department con tained an outline of the entire system. Mr. Garrison pointed out to the con gressional committee, when he appear ed before it, however, that as the plan largely was an experimental one, it would be wise to give the President wide discretionary powers to meet problems which could be solved In the light of experience yet to be gained.

NORTHWEST MARKET REPORTS; GENERAL CROP CONDITIONS About the professional horSe breed er I shall have little to say. He is abundantly able to take care of him self and. if he is as foresighteii as he should be he will profit by the Im pending conditions which will soon make horse breeding one of the most profitable phases of animal husbandry la this country. Henry Ford and the European war conditions have completely changed the aspect of the horse business in this country— the first by putting the poor horse out of business and the second by practically cleamug the country of the lighter and less useful farm horses and both in causing con ditions which make for the advantage of the drafter. More than any other country the United States Is a user of agricultural machinery and. as our machines have become heavier and more complicated we have suffered from lack of farm power. Motors will nut supply this lack a t they are yet too expensive both in cost and operation and they do not supply the mobility of power a f forded by the horse and needed by the farmer. The reason for this lack of power Is not far to seek.
