people are homeless in consequence of tho
overflow of the Fraser river. Althongb
the river is 1850 miles long. and all tho
lower valley is flooded, the greatest dam
age mas been done in district of 100 milas
between Landers and Yale At Yale the
river showed l46 feet rise, at Sumas 40
feet, at Langley Is feet and at New West
minister IA feet. The branch railroad of
the Canadian Pacific between Enderby and
the main line has been entirely swept awav.
conservative railroad men estimate the
damage done to railroads and other prom
erty by the flood at 100000, says Taco
ma, Wash, despatch. The Great North
ern and Canadian Pacific roads, it is esti-
mated, will lose $780, 600 each by washouts
and stoppage of business. The Northern
Pacific has suffered almost as severely. II
Is believed these roads will not be able to
put their property in running order for a
month
Inc willamette continued to rise at
Portland, Or, until Thursday morning,
when the water was 30 feet inches above
high water mark of 1892. Snake and up
per Columbia rivers continue falling. The
estimates of the loss are placed as high as
SlO,OOO,O00, over half of which will have
been sustained by railroads.
The water from the Kootena river cov-
cred the Main street at Bonners Ferry,
Idaho, at depth of from five to ten feet.
The Great Northern freight cars were near
ly covered with water and over 20 build
ings, including the post-ofiice and large
merchandise store, were washed down the
stream. The heavy log Jail was carried
down the river mile, but the prisoners
were not drowned.
Superintendent White of the railway
service fears it will take at least two
months to rebuild that part of the Union
Pacific railway from Portland to Umatilla,
Oregon, which was swept away.

Thousands Dying
In China from a Plague Similar to That
Which Devastated London in 1908.

In China from "A Plague Similar to That
Which Devastated London in 1903.
The New York Herald's correspondent
at Shanghai, China, writes under date May
10: The plague which is raging in Canton,
Pakhai, and Hong Kong has thrown the
country into a state of unparalleled terror.
Tens of thousands of victims have been
carried off in the last three weeks The
plague is said to be similar to the great
plague of London which devastated that
city in 1865. 1t is frightfully rapid in its
course, death usually resulting in day,
the body turning black and swelling to
thrice its normal size. A foreign mission
airy in Canton estimates that up to May s,
at least 10000 persons died of the disease.
The plague is ascribed to the filth and
abomnabe habits of the Cantonese, aided
by the condition of the open sewers. None
of the Europeans have been attacked by
the terrible malady.

BOat Propulsion.

Boat.pr0pulsion BY means OF oil,
engines Is certainly on the increase,
and Is likely to present q real rivalry
to the employment OF boats driven
by electricity The system presents
many advantages. To begin with, It
Is economical and safe, there ia no
boiler, a complete absence Of smokers
"a great saving of room which can
be devoted to other purposes and u
saving OF time In Ohviating the ne.
cessity Of getting up speed. On the
Manchester ship ana other canals
many such vessels are employed; and
on the Thames every season may be
seen which have superseded the more
common steam.iaunch. A small
boat OF this kind has recently been
tried. The engines in tn case are
Of five horse power, and make about
$50 revolutions per minute. Ordi.
nary mineral oil Il used, and enough
for weeks working can be stored In
