Sprague, Wash, April THE south
eastern portion of Lincoln county is
suffering from the most disastrous
floods known in years. Warm winds
are melting the deep snow, covering
the greater part of the Lincoln and
Douglas county wheat fields. causing
creeks and rivers to overflow their
banks.
Business streets of this city are COW
cred by from two to five feet of wa
ter, the cellars are all full, and in
many cases families have moved to the
second and third stories. A trestle
several blocks Ions has been erected,
connecting the Sprague hotel with the
Northern Pacific depot. Several citi-
zens have procured boats, and mer-
chants in the flooded district have been
compelled to move their stocks.
Farmers along Rock, Coal and Crab
creeks have lost many head of cattle
and large quantities of hay, which the
high water, coming very suddenly,
washed away. Many bridges and miles
of fence are gone. Farmers will be
benefited by having their land thor
oughly moistened, and if it becomes
dry enough to work this month, this
years wheat crop will he the greatest
ever known in this section.

RAISED A ROW.
SECRETARY WILSON FINDS HIM
SELF IN HOT WATER.
Reason For it is the Appointment of
Democrat as Special Agent in
Charge of Scientific and Stats
teal Investigation.

New York, April "A Washington
dispatch to the World says:
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson has
appointed Charles w. Dabney, jr., of
Tennessee assistant secretary of asri-
culture under the Cleveland admins
tration) to be special agent in charge
of scientific and statistical investiga-
ton The salary is fixed at $4,000 per
year.
This is the largest compensation paid
any official in the government desig-
rated either by the president or cabi-
net officer, who is not confirmed by the
senate. with the single exception of the
director of the bureau of American re-
DublicS.
Secretary Wilson's creation of an
office and its bestOwal upon a Democrat
are bitterly denounced by those Re
publicans who are looking in vain for
positions not blanketed by civil service
regulations.

IOWA ALL RIGHT.
Trial Trip Made to the Satisfaction
of All Concerned.


Boston, Mass, April Under favor
able conditions and to the satisfaction
of all concerned, the United States bat
tleship Iowa was given her official trial
today over the Cape Ann course, and
under the inspection of the naval board
appointed for the purpose. On the trial
she made an average speed of IL knots
over the 66-mile course, exceeding her
contract speed by one knot, and win
ming q. bonus of 100000 for her build
ers. The figuring of i knots is q close
one, and there is not much of a mar
gin TO allow for errors, but since the
tidal corrections are likely 10 be in the
ships favor, it PROFESSIONALLY certain
that the official figures will show Il
knots. She finished her run after
nearly five hours of continuous steam
ing, in just as good condition as when
she started, and without the least de-
feet being apparent anywhere, and
without the slightest heating of her
bearings. The weather conditions were
favorable for making steam, and the
boilers showed an average pressure of
152 pounds, or all that could be eX-
pected with the air pressure allowed
in the closed fire rooms. Both engines
ran with remarkable uniformity, the
revolutions of the screws not falling be-
low III per minute, nor rising above
1872, and averaging 112 for the run.
The speed was also remarkably uni
form between the several marks along
the course. and shows that the vessel
makes scarcely any Spurts, but kept
close to her best work all the time, the
variations being almost wholly due to
the changing depths of the water. I'm
mediately after the completion of the
course the Iowa was swung as rapidly
70 a
half circle, under way, to determine
the maneuvering ability. She answer
ed her helm readily and showed the
possibility of turning a circle of less
than 400 yards.
The absence of vibration, even when
the ship was driven at her highest
speed, was very marked. In fact the
vibration could hardly be felt except at
the extreme bow and stern. The trial
showed in short that little is left to be
desired either in design or construc-
tion and the official board expressed it
unofficiallv So But the official report
will be the same. The stations were sc
miles apart and the course was So miles
northeast from the first station about
five miles northeast of Thatcher's Is
land to the sixth station, about mile
to the eastward Of Boone Island buoy
and return. The elapsed time for the
first half was 1923. Average speed,
1873 knots For the second half, 1.55:A;
average speed. 17.47. Average sped for
the entire distance, II knots. Elapsed
time, 3.52:47.
The ship left her mornings in Boston
harbor for the race course at $3.50 a. m.
and returned to her anchorage off the
lower light shortly after o'clock p. m
To the newspaper men on board, Mr.
Edwin S. Cramp expressed himself as
perfectly satisfied with the showing
made by the chip and with her be-
havior. The Iowa will sail early Thurs
day morning for PHILADELPHIA.

DISPLAYED CURIOSITY.

To Officer Shannon. who visited him
in prison, Filter displayed much Gu
riosity about the bomb. He wanted to
know its size, how it was loaded, and
whether it had been examined closely
Every question put to draw him out
failed. He expressed the belief that it
was a scheme of the Pine family to get
him out of their way.
Five minutes after the child had told
her mother of the discovery under Mrs.
Pines window the Pine family and
many neighboring families stood about
the bomb and shivered to realize how
near theY had come to death. Mrs.
Johnson caught her baby to her arms
and wept in a tremor of fright. Officer
Shannon happened to be in the Vicin-
ity and was called to remove the dan
gerous shell. Although he has never
shown the white feather, all resolution
seemed to have left him. He could not
muster enough courage to touch it,
and no one else could be found who
was willing to risk their life in the VEN
ture. For five hours the bomb lay in
the Pine back yard surrounded by a
gaping crowd that was kept at a safe
distance by Mr.. Pine, while Shannon
hunted the city over to get a. volun-
teer.
He visited the Evans. Scott and
Browning hardware establishments. but
none of the employees would have any
thing to do with the internal machine.
They all had families and were careful
of their own lives.

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE
A Paper of Great Interest to Deposi-
tors of Bank.

New York. April IA Sun special
from Altoona, Pa, says:
The stockholders of the suspended
private bank of Gardner, Morrow & Co..
of Hollidayburg are excited over the
disappearance of an agreement, made
many years ago, that the interest Of
any dead partner should remain in the
bank after death. James Gardner was
one of the principal owners of the bank.
He died two years ago, leaving an es-
tate of $500, 600. The bank failed six
months ago, and, so far, the depositors
have received nothing. If the cid
agreement is found they will share in
the Gardner estate; if not. they will
get only about 10 cents on the dollar.
The paper is known to have been IN
existence until a recent date. Last
night the stockholders held a public
meeting and today sent a committee TO
the assignee telling him that he must
produce the agreement or they will take
action in court to recover it. The
bank depositors are mostly farmers.

South Carolina in the senate yesterday
and protesting against the failure to
