BOISE WANTS WATER
The City Council Having Quite a
Time Over the Matter.
ized-InvestigatiOn Of the Postoffice Rob-
bery-Civil Service Examination.

BOISE CRY, Ida, May 14.-[Special tele-
gram to The HERALD. The city council
is haying quite a serious time over the
water question. Some time ago PROPOSE
ton was made to construct a ditch from
up the river to furnish water to the city
for flushing the sewers and other purposes.
The state took under advisement the plan
Of joining the city in the construction of
such canal, though nothing was done ex =
cept making some preliminary surveys
Now that warm weather is approaching
the situation is becoming imminent and
something must be done at once.
The council at its last meeting took
under Amusement a plan to build ditch
from point above the mouth of More's
creek, about eighteen miles from town
The estimated cost of construction is $50
600. The fall of this ditch will give the
city force equal to 300-horse power, which
can be utilized in many ways. The council
looks on this plan with much favor They
Will rent water from the owner Of the
| WGlling ditch until the other is con
structed.
| For some time past there has been seri
Gus trouble in the ranks of the Idaho Ma
tional guards of this place. 1t began some
time back and came near disrupting the
organization. In fact it had gone so faI
Jnat communications were sent IN to The
authorities, asking that the company bt
mustered out. At recent meeting. how
ever, this action was re-considered, anC
everything was made right Officers anC
men, it is thought, will work together hsr
moniously.
Civil service examination for applicant
in the postal department is now being helC
here. Only few applicants presented
themselves.
Tn grand jury is still grinding away OF
the postotfice robbery. At present thei
aim seems TO be to get at the methods o
work on the part of the postmaster and hi
employees here, as tending probably t.
throw some light on the question of tn
robbery. Some thirty witnesses will b.
examined. Everything possible will b
done to put the guilt where il belongs
Both Taylor and Henton, the men impli
Gated in the robbery, will endeaYor to prov
an alibi, but it will be difficult to do sc
The general opinion is that Taylor's frs
statement, made under oath, contessin
his own guilt and claiming HeHton as hi
partner in crime, was the truth. 1t is bel
that the postal authorities have additions
evidence outside of the confession c

KANSAS CITY, May 14.-The Missouri
river continues to rise, going up over 8
half foot last night. with prospects of
continuing the rise till Monday, or longer.
The damage to property increases hourly.
The river overhowed its banks this morn

interests of Armourdale. One or two OF
the establishments have already shut down,
and the remainder will be compelled TO do
so if the water rises little more. At the
suburban town of Argentine, the water
burst the reservoir, so there is no public
supply, and the electric light plant is
flooded, SO there will be no light tonight.
All the houses in the bottoms are flooded

FLOODED DISTRICTS
The Water Still Rising at a
Number Of Places.
LARGE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE DONE
Thousands of Acres Of Land Flo0ded--Busi
ness at Standstill-The Kansas
River Receding

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, May 1.-THE Mississippi
Is rising at the rate of a tenth of an inch
an hour. Along the river front the damage
is not yet of q momentous character. Train
switching is almost at standstill along
the lower tracks and handling freight on
the wharf and river boats is much inter
fered with. This with the flooded cellars
and back water in the sewers, constitutes
the worst feature of the food in the city
proper.
Above and below the worst damage is
being done From as far up the Missis-
sippi at St. Charles and Alton on the Mis-
sissippi come stories of
DAMAGE DONE AND THREATENED.
Near ST. Charles, on Mullappy island,
seven families are on the roofs of houses
waiting the arrival of a tug, which has
gone to their assistance. At Alton the
bottoms are flooded and the river is four or
i've miles wide. The new water works
are abandoned and the old plant is being
used.
The Sparks Touring mills are closed on
account of the floods, as is the Illinois Glass
works. The Bluff Line railroad trestles
are being held down by loaded trains. The
Quarries are flooded aud thousands Of acres
of farming land on both sides of the river
ruined for the season.
At Madison the low land is flooded and
the new
LEvEE WILL BREAK BEFORE MORNING.
At Venice the water is over Main street
and traiic at an end. At Brooklyn the sit
uation is growing worse. The national
stockyards at East St. Louis are more like
a sea than lend, though the town itself is
not much affected, as is the case with East
Carondelet. In South St Louis the Mis-
souri, car-works are suffering from high
water.
The Missouri Pacific shops have two feet
of water in them. The St Louis aud Pepper
cotton congresses are damaged to the Elk
tent Of SIS, 900. In Carondelet houses are
damaged considerably, other damage being
done. The bridge over the river Despere is
LIKELY TO GO OUT ANY MOMENT.
The Glendale zinc works have suspended
operations and so it goes throughout the
flooded district Hundreds Of poor people
in the flooded districts are driven from theiI
homes to the shelter offered by friends.
IT WILL BE THE LARGEST EVER KNOWN.
