Ellensburg, Wash., Nov. 20. Flood
conditions are worse In the Cascades
today than they were yesterday and
railroad official's hold out little hope
for a resumption of train service for
several days.
The night was warm and a tele
phone message from Easton states
that the creeks and rivers are rising
fast.
Four bridges are gone on the Nor
thern Palfic, while the steel bridge at
Lester Is four feet out of plumb, the
concrete bridge at Maywood Is use
less, the bridge at Hot Springs Is out
and at Kagle Gorge there Is a log
jam which Is assuming threatening
proportions. Dynamit Is being used.
At Martin near the east portal of
the Stampede tunnel, the track has
slid out for a depth of 60 feet. Pile
drivers, steam shovels and crews of
section men from points as far east
as Spokane have been rushed to the
scene. All west bound trains are be
ing detotired at Panco to the North

There are many miles of soft track
and several washouts.

Richmond, Nov. 2D. Ministerial
supplications for the spiritual welfare
of Ilnattle may earn for tho young
man the respite which all other
means have failed to obtain. Rev.
Benjamin Dennis, the Episcopalian
clergyman who broke the news of
Governor Mann's refusal to Inter
fere with his death sentence to Beat
tie, reported today that, though the
doomed man is in a. receptive mood,
tie Is "Htlll unable to see the light."
The religious element here are Im
ploring Governor Mann not to "allow
lleattle to go to eternity without ac
cepting religion."
'The report that I have offered to
trade 30 days' respite for a confes
sion from lleattle Is false " declared
Governor Mann today. "It was made
known that If there Is any respite,
which Is Improbable It will be to al
low the ministers more time to gain
their fight for Fleattle's soul."
Seattle, Nov. 20. Because of the
breaking of two main pipe lines
which supplied water for Seattle,
this city this afternoon faces one of
the most critical candltlons of Its
kind In local history,
A great part of the city Is entirely
without water. Water Is bolng hauled
in water wagons and buckets. Along
the shore of Lake Washington,
scores of automobiles are lined up,
while their owners take water from
the lake In buckets.
Hospitals, hotels and apartment
houses are without water. The city
officials are making every effort to
relieve the situation, and reservoirs
containing 100,000,000 gallons of
water are lining used to Supply a part
of the city,
The Milwaukee railroad Is being
blamed for the breaking of the water
pipes, 16 miles below the Cednr riv
er reservoir.
At this point the railroad changed
th course of Cedar river and built
a bridge across; The approach to
this bridge wns not property con
structed, and the high water took It
out. This loft the city water pipes
exposed and they sagged, then broke.
That,! n a nutshell, la the cause of
the water famine lu Seattle.
The municipal power plant was put
out of business In a different way
and at a different time.
Two pipes carry water from the
reserve to the power plant. These
pipes run along the river bank. The
water cut Into the bank, undermined
the pipes, and they broke, Just as the
foed pipe for the water system broke
farther below, where the Milwaukee
bridge Is built. .
