COULEE WATER IS r RELEASED TO AID STRANDED BARGE Coulee Dam, Wash., Sept. 19 U.R) A man-made crest of high water surged down the mighty Columbia river today after Grand Coulee, dam engineers in creased the flow to lift a strand ed oil barge 400 miles away. More than 12,000,000,000 gal lons of water swelled the west's biggest river and engineers said it would take another two days for the river to rise two or three feet at Celilo Falls, near The Dalles, Ore. The large oil barge is strand ed sideways in the swift, narrow channel below the falls. A pow erful tug has negotiated the treacherous "chute" between The Dalles and the falls, ready to apply pressure and free the barge when the river rises, i To Take 80 Hours The 11 drum gates atop the huge dam were lowered several inches, which swelled the water fall over the dam's face. Then all 4ut three of the gates were clos ed last night after the river's level had been raised nearly five feet at the dam. It is estimated the crest will take 80 hours to reach Celilo Falls. Farmers along the Columbia posted guards along the rising stream and anchored irrigation pumps and floating docks more firmly. Army engineers spread a warning of the emergency the entire length of the river. Grand Coulee dam is west of Spokane in north central Washington, while Celilo Falls is on the Washington-Oregon border, far to the south and west. Livestock Chlcaso. Sept. 19 (U.P.) (WFA) .

Shizuichi Tanaka, com mander of Japanese eastern army headquarters, personally quelled a revolt by a group of young officers who took over control of the Imperial Palace in an effort to forestall formal an nouncement of Japan's surren der, the Tokyo newspaper Main ichi said today. The newspaper gave a detail ed account of the uprising, which assertedly was made by a group of Japanese general staff officers. The Mainichi ver sion, however, did not wholly confirm previous reports that an uprising had taken place at such a time as to affect surrender ne gotiations between Japan and the allies. The revolt, if confirmed, might provide a possible explan ation for a delay of some 24 hours between the Tokyo rtdio announcement at 2:40 p. m. Aug. 14 (10:49 p. m. Aug. 13 PWT) that the Imperial rescript would be forthcoming "soon" and its rctual delivery by the emperor over the radio.

Uia Mail Tribune Wan Ada. M I ISW Rollinq J " -f aintaining a railroad's track and roadbed in A-l condition requires the services of a large number of construction crews. Hard workers these men require plenty of whole some food at regular mealtime intervals. But, being constantly on the move they are fre quently many miles distant from a city or town. To meet this situation, Union Pacific provides two "outfit cars" for each construction crew. In one of these cars there is a dining room, kitchen, and storage space for food ... a roll ing restaurant. The other car is converted into qomfortable living quarters for the manager ONLY TWO LEFT IN COUNTY JAIL There are now only two pris oners in the county jail, the low est number in several months. They are Robert B. Merrill, awaiting action on an assault and robbery charge, and LaBern F. Keller, charged with con tributing to delinquency of a minor girl, age 15. Keller, according to the dis trict attorney's office, brought the girl here from Eugene where he was arrested the first of the week on information furnished by the Lane county city. Keller, the district attorney reports, has offered to plead guilty. He was discharged from the state prison last June on a burglary charge, the authorities report. Merrill escaped from the coun ty jail six weeks ago and was ar rested recently in Los Angeles and returned here for trial on the robbery charge. He will probably be called before the grand jury at its next session.
