The Warning.

JOHNsTOwN, June "A namelest
Paul Revere lies somwhere among the
nameless dead. Who he is may never
be known but his ride will be famous
in history. Mounted on grand big
bay horse he came riding down the
pike which passes through Conemaugll
to Johnstown like some angel OF wrath
OF old, shouting his portentious warn
ing: Run for your lives to the hills
Run to the hills" The people al
crowded out OF their houses along the
thickly-settled street, awe stricken
and wondering. Nobody knew the
man, and some thought he was ma
MAC and laughed. On at a deadly
pace rode the man still ringing out hi.
awful cry.
In few moments, however, there
came cloud OF rain down the broad
streets and the narrow alleys, grinding
twisting, hurting, Overturning, crash
ing, anihilating weak and strong alike
On and on raced the rider, and on
and on raced the wave. Dozens OF
people took heed OF the warning and
ran up the hill. Poor, faithful rider
1t was an unequal contest. Just AZ he
turned to cross the railroad bridge the
wave struck him, and horse, bridge and
rider went into chaos.

The Tide Lands.

People living in the interior know
little, il anything, of the wonderful tide
flats that adjoin, i'll many places, the
surging waters OF old ocean. To these
as well as to many who have seen the
rise and fall OF the tides, the following
description of them may be OF interest.
First, they are not a mud fiat IA many
suppose, but they are genuine prairie,
built up on the one side BY the dcpos-
its OF tie ebb and Aow OF old ocean,
for how many millions of years no
man knows, and on the other side by
the river washings of decayed vegeta-
ton from the hills and uplands ever
since the hills have stood; the two,
mixing their deposits and washings to-
sether, have grown up an alluvial for
nation, which is not or cannot be ex-
cclled for richness in the known world.
These prairics extend from the waters
edge back to the uplands and up the
various streams, and are only covered
by water at high tide, and even in its
wild state grows nutritious grass.
which, if not fed down, reaches far
above the head of an ordinary man.
But when the oceans salty brine is
fenced off by dyke is when the land
shows its metal; it laughs at five tons
OF timothy hay to the acre; 100 bushels
OF oats, GOO bushels Of potatoes or sc
tons OF beets or rutabagas is no burden
whatever, and year by year it seems tc
increase in fertility; it has no wearout
drougl1ts do not affect it, but it toll.
on year after year, and as sure as thu
farmer puts in the seed and keeps i,
clean from weeds he is sure OF rich
harvest. This land never disappointi
the owner, but is as reliable as OLE
ocean itself. Strangers, OF course
think 500 per acre outrageous, bu
when you figure up ON ten-acre tract
more real coin than you can possbl,
get on 100 acres in some othe
States, then do wonder? 1t is also il
the midst of the best home markets thu
world affords, and where no drought
or grasshoppers are known; wher'
billiards. and cyclones have never
been seen, and the most uniform ant
healthful climate under the sun. Is i
any wonder that improved tide land
are selling for 500 per acre? Fiv'
years from to-day, if you buy an acr
of dyked tide land, $500 or more vii
be the price, and he who now secure
tract of it and stays with it, will b
the happy man. Unimproved It'd
lands can be bought for from $25 to 50
per acre, depending upon their location

THIS M0rnlnxss Report.

SEATTLE, June 6th.-The entire busi-
ness portion of Seattle is now nothing
but smoking ruins About 3p m,
some turpentinc caught fire in the
basement Of two story frame build
ing on the southwest corner OF Front
and Madison streets. The building
was owned by Mrs. Margaret J. Pom.
thus, the first story OF which was
leased by the Seattle Shoe company
The upper floor, being occupied for
offices, was soon ablaze. An alarm
was instantly turned in, and the vol
unteer fire department responded
promptly, but 1t was impossible to
make Roadway against the fierce flames.
This building like most others OF its
kind in the business center, was not
detached, but was the corner one of a
row of frame buildings all joined to-
gether and of various heights. Vail
antly did the department fight the fire,
but without avail, for the buildings
being of tin.!er, were an easy prey to
what, within ten minutes from the
time it started, developed into con-
flagration. A joining the first build
ing was the wholesale liquor store OF
Dietz & Meyer. As soon rs the fire
reached it the barrels expl' d.! with a
terrific report, and scattered flaming
timbers far and wide The Denny
block, including n number Of proies-
sional offices ami lodging apartments,
were soon afire, and this cleared one
square. All efforts to flood the Cole.
man building on Front street to the
south, were utterly useless, for the
flames leaped across Marion street with
greedy rapi> ity While this square
was burning, the Opera house block
caught fire in the upper story. This
building soon yieldeL to the tongues OF
fame. With it went the cattle phar-
macy, and other business establish
ments, closing up another square.
The Denny block on the north OF
where the fire originated, had to go,
too In this block was the job print
ing establishment of the Erening
Times, Veneer & Vaughn's music store
and Bade's tailor shop. From the
opera house block the fire, now fast
becoming q monstrous holocaust,
swallowed up the square to the south
Notwithstanding the progress of the
flames, the fire department struggled
with fierce determination to save the
most valuable portion OF Front street
to the south, between Columbia street
and Yesler avenue, which was one
Tow of fine brick blocks
Of two and three stories, where tn.
banks had their offices
This row consisted of the
corner block occupied by Tok-
las, Singerman l. Co.'S gigantic whole

block, the Ponin buil,ing the San
Francisco Clothing house, the star
block, the Arcade builuing, and the

The PENNSYLVANIA Daluge.

1t is difficult for the imagination to
paint the awful scene. Ct destruction
and death that now exist in the Cone
maugh valley in Pennsylvania, as were
described in our Geographic columns
Saturday. with more complete details
to-day. An artificial lake, three and
a half miles long by one and a quarter
wide and 100 feet deep, was situated
from 200 to 800 feet above narrow
valley. in which reposed numerous
thriving towns and villages, aggregat-
ing population OF about 10000 peo-
pie. 4 cloud-burst SO suddenly swelled
the reservoir and increased the lateral
pressure Of the water that the dam
gave way, permitting the escape Of the
pent up waters, with force and vc-
locity that the imagination fails TO
picture. Farms and gardens were sub
merged and residences washed away,
carrying their occupants Some OF
the better constructed ones did not fall
to pieces but foated down the rapid
current, to be dashed against the rocks
and bridges. To add to the horrors,
stoves were overturned, thus setting
fire to the floating houses, and the
agonizing groans of the burned, min
gled with cries OF the drowning, must
have formed piteous appeal for aid
that seldom comes from human beings
in distress.
We often hear about the dangers OF
the deep, but are they any more or
greater than the dangers OF the land?
Is this fearful loss OF property and ter
rible destruction of thousands of lives
in Pennsylvania less appalling than
the laundering OF the Alaskan and the
drowning of its crew?
1t sometimes seems that too much
confidence is placed in the many works
of improvement. Modern engineering
is so almost superhuman that we fail
to realize that it is not the work Of
Nature. The Conemaugh dam had
doubtless stood for years and the PEG
pie in the valley below had come to
look upon it as rOck-ribbed as the ever
lasting bluffs which formed its but.

When We reflect upon the number
of dykes, piers, bridges and trestles

NOTHING better illustrates the pro-
digious growth of Washington than
the number of miles of railroad that
have been built in the Territory in the
last five years. Ten years ago WASH

our immense traffic in coal, lumber,
minerals and agricultural products.

which Washington will occupy, as
railroad center in the near future, the
movements of the great transconti

influences they will have in promoting

It is generally understood that the
Southern Pacific is to follow the North
crn Pacific in withdrawing from the
Transcontinental Association for the
reason that the Canadian Pacific, not
hampered by the rules Of the Associa-
ton, is slowly increasing its transcon'
tinental, traffic to the detriment of the
American roads. By Withdrawing from
the Association, the latter will be in
position to compete with tho Canadian
company.
Again, 1.-THE American roads make
much Of cut in their through rates,
the long and short haul clause in the
Interstate Commerce law would re-
quire them to mako corresponding re-
auctions in their local rates. The
Canadian Pacific is not restrained by
this law. However disastrous a rail-
road war may be, there ia no doubt
about its bringing tremendous inn
migration to the Northwest, and the
different towns and cities in Washing
ton would do we'll to keep themselves
in position to receive and retain as
much of this as possible.
