Damage by the Elwha Freshet.
Port Angeles Leade,

On last Sunday the Elwha river created great
havoc along the banks near the Peters and
Gleason ranches 1t is estimated that the water
in the river bed was higher than usual and its
terrible current tore away acre after acre OF val
liable farm land along its banks.
The new sawmiil owned by Mr.. Peters and
located about seventy feet from the edge OF the
river bluff was washed entirely away, and the
machinery now lies In the stream 1t is thought,
however. that it can be saved without being
seriously damaged.
At the Gleason farm the mighty forcs of the
water again asserted itself, and soon made such
inroads in the bank beneath the residence OF
Mr.. Gleason that the building gradually sunk
toward the river and now rests at a dangerous
angle upon the bank. About one and ouc-half
acres OF Mr.. Gleason's orchard and meadow
were also washed away. and all along the shores
thick sediment was deposited which will pre-
vent the growing OF vegetation during the next
Year

placed at 5.0t0. Many OF the ranches are COW

back from the creek. Tom McGi's meadow
contains thousands of dog salmon that were left
by the receding waters.
Most OF the logs in the creek were gotten to

The force Bill.

This is question of vital import
ance to the entire country. At the
present time the republican party is
letting it rest, as a dangerous toy to
trife with on the eve of an election.
The Review of Reviews goes so far as
to say it is abandoned by the repub-
lican party. This apparent aband-
onment seems to have lulled the
democrats to sleep; and yet tits a
question which should be acted upon
by the voters at the coming election.
President Harrison urged the
passage of the bill; and the N. Y.
Tribune, the pap9rof Whitelaw Reed,
candidate for Vice President advo-
Gated its passage during the fifty
first congress; and few days ago a
grand reception was rendered to Elk
Senator Lynch Of Mississippi by the
republicans of Minneapolis; Mr..
Lynch in his speech announced him
self as an advocate of the force bill,
and urged the importance of its
passage. 1t is therefore clear that
the question is before the American
people to be endorsed Or rejected at
the polls this fall.
Let us consider for few moments
what this "force bilP' is designed to
accomplish. 1t is designed to ap-
point supervisors in every congress
ional district to control the elections
These supervisors are to be appoint
by the circuit courts, and to bs back
ed by U. S. Marshals. The original
bill gave them authority to visit
private houses, and inquire of wives
and daughters with regard to the pol
itics of husbands and fathers.
Deputy q. S. Marshals were to en-
force these Investigations. This ex-
animation could be brought INTO any
district within the U. S. at the re-
quest of 100 men and the number of
| officers necessary to conduct this
business in district is estimated at
six hundred. The local authorities
would be controlled by this force;
and this force would be subject to
the one man who appointed it.
This whole scheme is designed to
destroy home rule, and centralize
power in Washington. With such a
power in the hands of party hold
ing the government offices, it could
neYor be moved from power; and
though this picture might be pleas,
ing to some men who love party more
than right; the time might come when
they themselves may feel the squeeze
Any movement designed to take
the power from the people and place
it in the hands Of q fey, should be
looked upon with jealous eye. The
fear Of this very thing caused many
of the states of the union while
adopting the national constitution tt
insert a clause similar to that used by
New York which read as follows

Judge=Elect Campbell Does
Not Like His Room.
He Says the People Who Like the
Old Hall May Stay, but He
Will Move.

"Theso rooms are not fit for a decen

newly elected Police Judges, as he sat on
the bench IN Police Court 2 yesterday.
Judge Campbell has not taken his seat as a
Police Judge vet, and is at present acting as
substitute for Judge Love, who is i'll.
When Campbell does take his seat, how
ever, he proposes to make things lively for
somebody unless he is given decent room
in the new City Hall in which to hold court.
The City Prison portion of the new City
Hall has been ready for occupancy for some
time, but there has been a determined re-
sistance on the part of the heads of the
various departments of the police force
against being moved from their dirty.

to the City Prison now are the police would
be the first to rebel, and would make IL more
than uncomfortable for the people keeping

There Is no person or persons who know
so much about the bad sanitary condition Of
the old City Hall prison as the TRUSTEES
prisoners whose duty it Is to keep it clean /;
that is, clean as they can. Said one of the
TRUSTEES yesterday:
There are enough yermin in this place
TO walk off with it, and you cant get rid of
them. When you scrub this place il gets
damp and moldy. 1t never gets a ray of
daylight, much less sunlight, and officers
and prisoners alike have 10 live In an at
