TIE WORD NEWS

The word "news" is commonly
supposed to be derived from the

ever, that its origin lie treceable to
a custom which prevailed in former
times-that of placing in the head
OF the newspapers OF the day the
initial letters of the cardinel points
of the cor7pass, thus:

animals would be to slaughter them as

THE WESTERN REGION.
A DAM GIVES WAY.

a Disaster Caused ia Idaho by Heavy
Rains
News was received in Boise Thurs
day evening that the Indian Creek
reservoir had broken its barriers and
that food Of water was sweeping
down upon ranches and villages, car
rying destruction and ruin in its path.
This reservoir was constructed of
solid masonry at the head Of Indian
creek, and was heretofore thought to
be a veritable Gibraltar. Hyde &
Jackson, New York capitalists, backed
the enterprise and built it as water
supply for their celebrated orchard
farm Of $40 acres that recently was set
out in Idaho prunes aud bonded for
$50, 900. The reservoir covered 500
acres of land and was said to contain
water sufficient to irrigatc many thou
sand acres. 1t cost $50, 900 to build
it
This magnificent enterprise was
swept away in day, and is now a
mass of ruins. The country between
Bysuka and Caldwell is all under
water, Every railroad bridge between
Nampa and Bysuka is washed out and
many miles of railroad track is sub
merged, which will prevent trains
from running over the Short Line for
many days.
The dam broke about noon and
messengers were sent at breakne ok
speed on horseback to warn settlers
and urge families to hasten to place
of safety.
A mighty wall of water came sweep
ing down Indian creek, bearing on its
bosom houses, sheep, calves, barns,
farming utensils and submerging whole
farms.
Citizens Of Napa, little town on
the Short Line, saw the approach of
the devastating waters and fed to high
ground. Soon all the lower part of
the town and railroad side track was
under water from five to twenty feet
deep. Fifty houses, at least, are ruined.
and many families are without shelter
and bedding. Merchants are loaning
blankets to destitute families and pro-
visions are being furnished to those in
need.
1t is reported here that two men were
drowned, one while attempting to save
his property, and another who rushed
to his assistance.
The cause of the disaster was the
sudden turn of warm weather, coupled
with heavy rains, which caused
rapid melting of the snow in the noun
tains.

The society asks every town in Col

that wherever the flag floats the things
that it symbolizes may soon follow.

gress, on the l4th day of June, 1777,
passed the following resolution:
'Resoired, That the flag of the thir-

thirteen stars, white in blue field, rep
resenting new constellation; and
WHEREAS, The Pennsylvania So
ciety of Colonial Danes of America
have inaugurated the movement to
have the 14th day of June known as
Flag Day, and the same forever here
after observed by the display of the
American flag from every home in the
land; therefore,
"Resolrea That this society heart
lily indorses the said movement, and
earnestly expresses the hope that ev
cry member of this society will dis
play the national flag on said day; and
that, with the view of having the day
so observed throughout the country,
the secretary be requested to transmit
copies of this resolution to the Presi-

ernor of the State, the Press Associa-
tions, our Congressional Delegates, the

That German Comm,,.,on.

Senator Allison regards the appoint
ment by Germany Of a commission to
investigate the silver question as an
incident Of great significance, particu-
larly because the commission, with the
exception Of one, or at most two, Of
its members, are bimetallists. The
creation Of the commission, The sena-
tor says, is due to the rapid d.acline in
silver. He looks to see the example
of Germany followed by othes govern
ments Of Europe.
'This action Of Germany" the SEN
ator says, Ought to give the
greatest encouragement to the friends
Of silver in the United States, who be-
lieve that the true solution Of the
problem is by international agree
ment."

The Eloquent N-braskan Speaks for
Congressman Bryan of Nebraska
was in Denver on the 18th as the guest
of the Grevstone Club on the occasion
of its annual banquet.
He delivered an address bearing
chiefly upon tariff reform and the cur
rcncy question. On the latter sub
ject he said;
1--WE must accept bimetallism as a
necessity There is not sufficient
gold. If we could agree with all the
nations to accept gold only we would
soon get over i We would all be
bankrupts. The amount of gold pro-
duced annually is consumed in the
arts, it is claimed. Conservative esti
mates have placed two-thirds Of the
gold product to the arts. There can
be but one effect The load Of debts
will become greater and greater and
year by year the stagnation Of busi-
ness would grow greater.
II am in favor of the. present ratio
of 16 to l. 1t might be better, you
will think, to accept 20 to and allow
the miner to open his mines, but we
cannot injure the rest of the world for
the sake of the miner If we would
agree to different ratio we would
agree to an appreciation in values.
We who favor bimetallism favor it at
its present ratio because Of its justice
to mankind.

VIII Flsh. tn. Income r.,.

Undoubtedly there will be deter
mined effort when the tariff bill reach
es the Senate to have the income tax
feature eliminated, and it looks as if
the Democratic senators who are not
satisfied with the bill would make this
part of it their chief point Of attack.
Senator Hill will lead of in the assault
upon the income tax in his forthcom-
ing speech. He probably will be sup
ported by Senators Smith, Brice, Muir
ply and few other Democratic sena-
tors, as well as by majority Of the
Republican senators. The majority,
if not all the Democratic members Of
the finance committee, will hold out
stubbornly for the tax.
One has said he believes it TO be the
most popular feature Of the bill, and
while they would expect to lose some
Democratic votes on an amendment to
strike out this portion of the bill, they
would get the votes Of all three Of the
Populist senators and of about ten Of
the Republicans.
