CHEHsLas. Oct. Is Especial. - Land
owners interested are making an effort 20
have the fiume which originally supplied
the city With water from the Newaukum
river taken down and removed. The
Hume was erected several years ago bv the
Chehaiis Fiume Company. at an expense
OF nearly $4,000. Atthat time sreas shings
were expected of il. as the intention WAS
not only 10 furnish the city with water
bat to establish manufacturing es,ahiish-
ments at this end, which would derive
power 10 run their machinery from the
water brought down. The whole scheme
proved impraciicabie. When the water
company came here the fiume was praesi-
caiiy given TO il as an inducement, but a
short time ago the complaint about the in
sufiiciency of the water supply and tho
poor quality compelled the company to
tap the river at another point and put in
pipes direct TO the reservoir. All that will
ever be realised from the concern prob
ably will be the Insignificant sum the lum-
Der will bring when sold TO farmers along
the right-of-way.

THE WEATHER AND THE RIVER
Last night was the coolest Of the sea-
son and indeed for a number of years,
the mercury at midnight dropping to
about 70, while northwest gale, which
blew in every direction the fine dry snow
which fell on Monday night, added
to the intensity of the cold. The streets
were deserted at an early hour and but
few persons ventured out who were not
obliged TO do SO. This morning ut Z
o'clock the mercury rose to 100, and by
noon it had reached 20', and as the
wind in the meantime had lulled and
the sun shone brightly, the temperature
was more endurable. The government
tug Triton, which went to Indian Head
yesterday morning from Washington,
passed up the river late yesterday even
ing with scow in tow. The Norfolk
steamer Norfolk, due here yesterday
morning, did not arrive till s o'clock
last night, having been detained for 9
hours at Maryland Point forcing her
way through an ice gorge there. She
reports ice as extending almost to the
mouth of the river. The Norfolk did
not start on her return trip last night,
but will leave Washington for that city
tonight, not stopping here. The Wash
ington, due here this morning from
Norfolk, was Off River View at 4:45
o'clock this evening, slowly forcing her
way through the ice.
