This levee runs from the Mississippi at Alexandria to the Bluffs, and protects the town and shore as far south at Hannibal from overflow of the Des Moines. A strip of country ten miles wide and sixty miles long is now under water, and the crops, which, never looked better, will be a total loss.

APPEAL OF OREQON. To Secretary of Interior From Land Commissioner. General W. H. Odell, as attorney for the State of Oregon, has appealed to the Secretary of the Interior from the decision of the Commissioner of the General Land Office in the matter of lieu land selections upon mineral base In Southeastern Oregon. The Com missioner had rejected the selections of lieu land made by Mr. Odell for the state, assigning as a reason therefor that the state had already sold the lands which It seeks to use as base. Another reason assigned for the re Jection was that the mineral character of the land had not been proven. The Commissioner also held that the proceedings for1 the adjudication of the mineral character of the land were irregular for the reason that they were commenced before application had been made for the selection of the indemnity landB. Governor Chamberlain has written a letter to the Secretary of the Inter ior advising that official that General Odell has authority to represent the State of Oregon In this proceedine and that It is his desire, as Chief Ex ecutive, that the selections be ap proved, so that sales made by the state shall not be rendered null and void.

Bremerton Navy Yard Will Oct No More Ships for a Time. wasmngton, June 3. "Until we have some visible evidence that Brem erton Intends to comply with our de mands for an improvement in the sur roundings of tire Puget Sound navy yard, no more vessels will be ordered there for repairs," said Assistant Sec retary Darling today, after reading the full report of Captain Bleeker. Captain Bleeker states that a large majority of the citizens of Bremer ton are sincere in their desire to clear the town of questionable resorts and lo conform to the requirements of the Navy Department, but Intimates that there Is no way of closing up the sa loons until their licenses expire. There are now 15 saloons in the town, six on Front Street, two, It Is said, op erating without valid license. One sa loonkeeper voluntarily went out of business since December. Five li censes will expire in September, and other not until December. To allow these saloons to run until that time Is not satisfactory to the department.

The tor nado then swept around the out skirts of the city to the suburb of New Holland, two miles away, where are located the Pacolet cotton mills, one of the largest plants in the state. The plant of the Pacolet Company was not seriously damaged, but probably 100 cottages standing nearby, occu pied by operatives who were emnlov. ed In the .mills, were demolished, kill ing 33 people. These were mostly wo men and children, as the heads of families were nearly all in the factory at work. The store of Joseph Loean. near the Gainesville cotton mills, was crushed to ruins by the wind, and eight men who had taken refuge in It were In- stantly killed. The Jones general store met a similar fate, and in the ruins two persons, one man and one oman, were crushed to death.
