TUE GREAT STORH DLOCKGDE RAILROADS
Trains laid Up for Days and Great
Damage Is DOne-The Heaviest
Rainfall on Record.

For several days during the past week
through trains on the Northern Pacific
have been tied up, owing to landslides,
washouts and bridgeless streams, the re-
suit Of a rainfall, the like Of which has
never been known by the oldest settler.
On this side Of the mountains the damage
has been mainly confined 10 Kittitas
county, where q number Of bridges were
washed out, owing to a rapid rise Of the
waters of tho Yakima through the irriga-
ton cOnpany's dam at Lake Katcheez
giving way. The loss on the west side is
inOalculable, as the railroads were not
only heavy losers, but county bridges
were carried of and great stretches nj
country were transformed into lake beds,
notably the DuWamish. Snohomish,
White, Black and Stuck river valleys.
As early as November IL there was a
heavy snowstorm on the west side Of the
Cascades, when two feet Of snow fell be-
fore the storm changed into warm rain.
The rain continued to fall nearly all that
week, swelling every stream until the
banks OverhOwed and turned meadows
and valleys into lakes Of water. The first
intimatiOn that there was trouble with
the railroads was received on Friday
through the non appearance Of the east
bound train. A big slide OF thousand
yards nf dirt on the west side near SIAM
pede tunnel was the reported cause Of the
detention. and then rumor after rumor Of
disaster was received, most OF which, IN
fortunately, proved to DO true. An i'm
mense landslide near Bonneville, on the
Union Pacific, shut out travel and receipt
Of mail for q time from the west, via that
route, but a transfer was soon arranged,
and by Tuesday the Northern Pacific was
repaired sufficiently to send trains
through.
The danGerof further breaks is far from
being over, as Mr.. Walter Lytle, Of the
Northern Pacific Coal company, who
came through Tuesday night, reports that
the rain Is still falling in torrents, and
that that had been the condition during
the preceding days Of the week. The
trainmen have been Obliged to move with
great caution over the temporary and
damaged bridges, around sharp curves
and along the parts Of the road most ex-
posed to fhe ravages Of the waters. The
storm appears to have been general
throughout the west. The Great North
ern and the Northern Pacific have SUI
fered heavily, as did the Lake Shore &
Eastern, the Columbia & Puget Sound
and the Seattle & Northern, while the
Monte Christie road, which was just ap-
preaching completion, was badly wrecked.
There were some train disasters, but for
tunately the loss Of life was light.

A Perfect Baking Powder.

The constantly growing demand for Dr.. Prices
Cream Baking Powder the standard tartar powder
for forty years, due to causes
FIRSTs-The extreme care exercised by the manu-
facurers make perfectly pure uniform in quality and
of highest raising power.
SEcoND-The recent Investigations exposing the
fact that certain other brands Of baking powder contain
ammonia and still others that were found contain alum
These INSCRIPTIONS manufacturers being found out
and the consumers giving them a wide birth.
Nothing is left to chance in the manufacture Of Dr..
Prices Cream Baking Powder Chemists employed to
test every ingredient purity and strength Hence
its marvellous purity and uniformity Each can Is lits
every other 1t never dissapOints. BEST is ALWAYS
the CHEAPEST
DR. Prices Cream Baking Powder Is re-
pOrted by all authorities as free from Ammonia,
Alum, or any other adulterant In fact the
purity Of this ideal powder has never been ques-
toned.
The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1892-11-24
A Simple Problem.

The value of baking powder is in the Ieaven-
ing gas it contains. If one brand is stronger
than another, it is worth more per pound,
because it goes further in baking.
Royal Baking Powder has been determined
by the official chemical tests to be ~ per cent.
greater in leavening strength than any other
brand. Its actual value to the consumer is
therefore Fl per cent. greater than the others.
This is equal to 1917 cents per pound.
IT. therefore, other powders are forced upon
you, see that the charge for them is 1917 cents
per pound less than the price of the Royal.

ing the opening Of Yakima avenue and
A street through the Northern Pacific
right-oi-way, rs he had been absent In
the PGlouse country and had not had an
opportunity to confer with the Northern
Pacific people. He likewise asked an ex-
tension Of time TO report on the petition
for an arc light on the corner Of A and
First streets, as he did not believe hasty
action should be taken on such matters
as the cost Of the city lights already
amounted to about t4,0JO year. The
council granted the committee until next
regular meeting in which to report on
both questions.
Chairman Chapman, Of the committee
on FIRE and fire limits, reported that an
independent fire alarm connection be-
tween the engine and power house, with
an automatic alarm bell, could be put In
at an estimated cost Of sos or 500. The
electric light company had consented to
the use Of their poles and would purchase
the wire and other materials and furnish
them to the city at cost. Mr.. Chapman
also made a verbal report regarding q
more complete system Of FIRE alarms, with
stations in various parts Of the city. Mr..
Miller favored the latter project II the
cost would not exceed four or Eve hun
dred dollars, and on motion tire matter
was referred back to the same committee
to obtain estimates and additional data.
Bills to the amount Of $3.50 were read
and referred to the finance committee.

said that he could furnish proof that the
marshal had been derelict 10 his duly,
but failed to supply II, although Council
man Chapman said that the charges
should be specific so that the marshal
could have an opportunity 10 answer
them, and intimated that his vote would
be governed in accordance. The ques-
ton on the adoption Of the report was
called for and failed to carry, COuncilmen
Carpenter, Chapman and Miller voting
10 the negative.

An Infsilible Bible.


Nothing better indicates the ripe
ness of the present age and
generation for bold reform in
religion than the rapid progress in
the last year in advanced views
concerning the Bible. When DR..
Briggs and DR.. Harper first made
and defended the statement that
the Bible contained errors, it looked
for a while as if the orthodox
Christian world would tear them in
pieces. But from that day to this
there has been steady increase in
the number of their followers. Not
long ago we commented on the
bold stand taken by Rev. DIR.
Strong, Of the Rochester Baptist
Theological Seminary, and by the
New York Examiner and the Chi
cago Stan dard against the inerrancy
of the Bible, and now Rev. DR..
Abbott, the successor of Henry
Ward Beecher, comes out boldly on
the same side. Truly the world
moves.
The reasoning of DIR. Abbott, in
his sermon of last Sunday, is I'M
answerable. In order, he said, to
have an infallible Bible, not oniy
must the sacred writers have been
infallible, but all the copyists of
their writings, and all the trans
lators of these copies. Indeed, he
said the very readers Of these
translations must be infallible, or
else the infalibiity Of all the rest
goes for nothing. He might have
added that men stake their lives
every day on information that is
not infallible, ana that there is no
reason for a Christian TO discard his
Bible because it is not absolutely
infallible. The generations to be
educated by learned and modern
minded men need not be afraid to
trust their eternal hopes to the
Bible, Notwithstanding it may con-
tain errors in science and history

Tribute of respect to the memory
Of Miss Clara Gilman.
Our darling Clara has left us;
She has gone to the home of love,
Where angels were waiting to greet her
pin the realms above.
Our home is so lonely without her,
We miss her precious form;
But God in His infinite wisdom
Called her from the worlds rude storm.
And there she will ever wait for US,
And clasp us by the hand,
When the Savior bids us welcome
To that far-on distant land.
And we will know her pleasant smile,
As on earth it used to be,
As she stands arrayed in spotless white
At the pearly gates in the mystic sky.
We know that no more at noontide,
We shall hear our darling call;
No more her loving hands Wen clasp
When the evening shadows fall.
she has gone to her home With Jesus,
Though we speak it with a sigh;
Mortal for immortal
how sweet, Ike her TO die.
But the one bright hope is ever,
That Clara our darling has gone
TO wander with white-robed angels,
And will meet us one by one.
A FRIEND.
