PLAINFIELD, N. j, July 30.-The
greatest flood ever known here occurred
this afternoon at 4 o'clock at Stony Brook,
above Green Valley. The mill dam gave
way, carrying with it Coddington's ice
houses and many barns, and seriously
undermining the mill. At 5 o'clock ttis
evening the dam in Green Brook, in the
heart of the town, also CAV way and
caused much damage. Many wooden
buildings were carried away. By. G
o o'clock the immense dam at Westfield,
back of Scotch Plains, collapsed and an
additional body of water was thrown into
the valley below. Green Brook could not
contain it and the water rushed across
to Cedar Brook and thence through the
finest residence portion of Plainfield. The
damage here is very great. Two or
three square miles OF thickly settled terri
tory have been submerged. There were
many gallant rescues of life.
NEWARK, n. j., July 3O.-The most
disastrous storm that ever visited this vi
cinity occurred this afternoon and evening
in this city. Cellars were flooded and
sewers bursted. Work had to be sus-
pended in factories in the lower section.
A washout occurred at South Orange and
trains were delayed. In South Orange
several buildings, including the postof6ce,
we're carried away and $50 barrels of flour
washed out of one storehouse. In Orange
valley the water is up to the second story
windows and great damage has been done
to stock in the numerous hat factories
there.
People were compelled to travel around
on planks and swim in order to get to
places of safety. Bloomfield and Mount
Clair also report great damage. No lives
are known to be lost. The greatest alarm
prevails around Milburn. Above it is the
Orange water reservoir water dam, which
is not regarded as safe. Should it burst
it would overflow Milburn aud other small
towns along the Railway river and the
damage would reach as far as the rail
way. At 10 o'clock to night the dan was
reported safe. but the inhabitants of the
town preferred to move to high ground.
Nearly every road in the country is i'm
passable, as all bridges have been washed

The senate committee on irriga.
ton, recently investigating the
subject in California, found at the
extreme south end of the state a
tract of bottom land the extent OF
which is very great, the soil being
fertile, but practically worthless
unless irrigated. The land could
be watereo at little expense, plenty
of water being available near by,
and all that is necessary being to
cut canal to the Colorado river.
However, the only practical point
at which this can be done is across
the Mexican border. The most
satisfactory way to accomplish the
work would be to make the pur-
chase of Lower California, and it
is thought that Mexico might be
induced to sell, as the land is of
little valne to her. There are many
reasons urged why the purchase
should be made, one being that it
wonld have the effect of giving our
Pacific coast line natural termin.
alton, Just as the purchase of Flor
ida completed the Atlantic coast
line. 1t is thought the report of
the senate committee will show the
complete feas. bility Of irrigation.
and favor the acquisition of the
peninsula of Lower California.

A Timber Land Contest -.

"a very important case has been
under examination in the United
States land Office at Seattle, the Fl.
nal decision of Which will affect
large interests in this territory.
1t is the case of the United States
70. Russell A. Alger and others,
involving the title to twelve quar-,
ter sections Of alleged timber land
in Whatcom, Skagit county. The
laad was taken up in 1883 and
transferred to Messrs. Alger and
Hawley, who paid five dollars per
acre and agreed to pay seven more
when patent was received from
the United States"
Inc contest now in progress is
TO determine the character Of the
land, the entries having been held
for cancellation on the report of a
special agent that it is agricultur-
al land. If the cases result in es-
tablishing the fact that tho land is
not subject to entry under the tim
PEI act OF June, 1878, large mum
per OF contests will be made by
settlers who desire to obtain homes
on thousands of acres now held as
timber land by mill companies and
timber corporations, that are known
to be adapted to agriculture. II
the government fails, the position
OF the mill men will be greatly
strengthened. This case has been
running over seven weeks, and will
probably continue six or eight
weeks longer. 1t will be one o!

The Tide Lands.

The register and receiver ct the
United States land office at Seattle
have rendered decision that tide
lands within the corporate limits
of a city are not subject to location
with Valentine scrip. In the mat
ter Of the appli cation of Freder-
lex w. Snow to locate Valentine
scrip on the harbor front of Taco
ma, they say that by the decision
of assistant commissioner Stone,
lands that lie between high and
low water mark are public lands of
the United States, and if unoccn
pied and unappropriated are subject
to disposition by the United States
by this class of scrip. But they
find that the tract applied tor is
within the corporate limits of the
city of Tacoma, which was duly in
corporated as a municipality by
the Legislative assembly of the ter
ritory Of Washington, act approved
February IA, 1886. This tract
being public land under the com-
missloner's decision above cited,
there can be no question Of the
right of the municipality to extend
its corporate limits over the same.
These two propositions being
conceded, they say: cit seems to
rs that under the decision of the
department this tract is not subject
to location with tits class of scrip.
The secretary Of the interior in the
case OF Valentine VS.. the city OF
Chicago, reversing the action OF
the commissioner OF the general
land Office, holds that this kind OF
scrip cannot be filed or located
within the Incorporated limits of a
city or town, and although the
same case has been brought before
the interior department twice since
that date, it has refused to dis
turb the doctrine above set forth. .
So they have not been able to dis.
cover the law, thus declared, has
ever been modified or oyerruled
they must adopt it as the rule fol
them until it is reversed, and
therefore they refused the appli.
cation. This decision disposes Of
some forty applications for land in
the corporote limitsof Tacoma
and ttle.-Ledger.
