AN IMPORTANT ORDER.
Denver Made the Terminus of All West
ern Shipments.I

Denver, July 30.-One OF the most i'm
portsnt riders ever issued by the Union
Pacific railroad in so far as the live
stock market OF Denver and the West
ern shippers of live stock are con-
cerned, was promulgated to-day. Early
In the year complaints were made by
shippers that they were being
Disseminated against in shipments
to Denver from points west Of
Colorado, the National Live Stock
association took up the mat
ter of adjusting these rates with West
ern lines. AS a result the Union Pacific
to-day issued an order making Denver
the terminus for all Western shipments
of stock instead of Ogden, Utah. Here
tofore a shipper was compelled on
reaching Ogden TO select his route to the
markets. II he selected the
Union Pacific for Omaha or Kansas
City, he was not allowed to try the Den
yer market without paying the local
freight rate from Cheyenne to Denver
and return, a distance OF over 210 miles.
Under the new ruling a shipper can
have his stock billed to any Eastern
market via Denver without extra
charge, thus giving him the advantage
of two markets instead of one without
extra freight rates, which made ship
ments from many points in the West TO
this market p~rohibitory. 1t is said that
other Western roads terminating or
running through here will take similar
action at an early date.

The Black Cloud Mill Now Running Reg
uIarly on Ore.

The Black Cloud Mill Now Running Reg
uIarly on Ore.
Special Correspondence of the Standard.
Wallace, Idaho. July 2s.-The Black
Cloud mill Is now running regularly on
ore, after an experimental run of a few
days on ore to get the machinery all in
proper order for steady work. Every
thing Is moving satisfactorily, the min
so far proving itself one Of the best small
ones in the Occur d'Alene. IL has not yet
been crowded, but IL is evident that IT can
considerably exceed its rated capacity OF
100 tons daily. In the mine everything
was ready to taking out ore IN
any quantity desired before work was
commenced on the mill, so there will be
no difficulty In securing all the ore the
mill can handle until the upper works
are exhausted, which will take two or
three years. The lower tunnel was start
ID last fall. and is now within some 500
let of where IL Is expected to cut 49,
lead, so development work can be kept
well in advance of the miners.
The Lombardy, near Kellogg, is improv-
ing all the time, the whole face of the
tunnel now being In concentrating ore of
a good grade. With about 100 feet yet to
run on the contract which was let when
the company was Incorporated, 1t prom
ises to be In shape TO justify the building
of a concentration by the time the COM
pany comes into actual possession of the
property, the promoters having contract
ed to run a 40O-foot tunnel in return for
interests given them at that time.
The Colwyn now has over 90 tons of
shipping ore banked out at the summit of
the hill, and will commence shipping to
Wallace Saturday. AT the ore bins there
is upwards of $50 tons of ore either sacked
or ready for sacking. and the mine is pro-
ducing more of 1t continually. Only ship
ping ore will be handled this year, but
there Is little doubt that next spring a
concentration will be put up on Carbon
creek a mile or so above Carbon Center.
The company owns q millsite there, and
now has enough concentrating ore on the
dump or in sight to justify a mill. Devel-
opment work on the mine was not far
enough along last spring to warrant the
owners in building a mill, but by another
spring there will be enough ore taken out
to build II.
AT a recent meeting the board OF county
commissioners created three new voting
precincts for the convenience of the people
at the election this fall, and two new
school districts. The salary Of the county
attorney, who succeeds the district attor-
ney in accordance with the amendment to
the constitution adopted two years ago,
was fixed at 81. 200 per year. The salaries
of these officers are to be fixed by the
commissioners of the different counties at
not less than $500 nor more than 81, 500 per
wear.

not bad AT Waiawa the water went
over the bridge.
Mr.. Rowen viii try today to make
figures on the damage. He could not
undertake last evening to say what the
necessary repair work would cost, but
expressed the opinion that it would be
required TO make a special appropria-
ton. Traffic can be well on again all
around the Island in a few weeks ex-
cepting for the Waimea bridge. Here
there must be great care and a heavy
expenditure. 1t is the plan OF Mr. Ro-
well to go wei back from the sea with
the new bridge. He would have two
long spans with very large openings.
The loss of life by the flood-at Wal
mea-has already been recorded. Mr..
Rowen says that at many points the
appearance of ruin and desolation is
very striking. The Road Board men
and Government officials all along the
route have been active in relieving
such distress as there might be and
in assisting all those wishing to travel
or move belongings.
Mr. Rowel was attracted TO a cut
near Waimea and has brought back
with him specimens of what is almost
Ignite. He saw the vein or deposit
exposed from beneath about ten feet
Of heavy and solid coral sand. This is
young coral and will interest a good

nation of the Island Mr.. Rowell is
firmly of the belief that the wood from
which this Ignite is developed was on

Graphic Account Of the Flood In
One District.
SEVERAL BRIDGES SWEPT AWAY
Nearly Two Inches of Rain In One
Hour-People Fled for Their
Lives-W Water On All Lowlands.

special Correspondence from Hama
pepe, Kauai.
For week all this section has been
deluged with rain. At Eleele ~ inches
of water fell in one hour.
The climax came at midnight, March
&c. The bridge at Hanapepe, the new
bridge at Laval and the three or four
new ones built on the road being con-
structed north OF Koloa. which is a
short cut from Laval TO Lihue, were
carried away.
The Waimea bridge is damaged-not
passable, but not carried off. In Wal
mea the water rose over all the low
land, coming into Mr.. Hofgaard's store.
In Koloa it was the same. flooding all
the low land and rising high enough
to submerge the bullock carts in the
plantation corral. At Laval, Wahi-
ava and all the above places, rice suf-
fered more or less and in some places
was destroyed.
Ranapepe had no immunity from
the torrent. Water rose about nine
feet, and all one could hear above the
pouring floods, was the japanese or
Chinese saying, TOO muchey pilikia,"
with a prolonged, voluoninous en-
phasis on the too" Numerous Ian
terms were seen above the surface Of
the flood lighting the refugees to plains
of safety. Now and then a pig went
down the stream, and an other pig with
rope around its hind leg and the
owner at the other end of the rope,
went less easily to higher ground. One
Portuguese was rudely awakened from
his deep slumbers, and jumped out of
bed into foot of water on his floor.
His chickens were already among
the lamented and his cow had to be
driven to higher ground. The water
rose two feet high in some houses and
people had to wade waist deep to get
out. 1t rose to the steps Of the teach
er's cottage and within four inches of
the floor of the school house. Here and
there fences and outbuildings are car
ried off, and the remaining ones are
| loaded with weeds.
The Hanapepe bridge was made of
heavy timbers and when the water rose
to it a mass of rushes and debris was
collected. Against this the water press
ed and rose until the bridge gave way.
AS soon as the bridge broke the water
! fell is or 20 inches l am told that
the bridges at Waimea, Hanapepe and
Wailua were carried away some II
years ago. Since the Hanapepe bridge
costing about $4,000, was built in 1885,
water has been up to it number of
times, and in one case was six inches
over the floor.
From this disaster a few points are
worth noting, for the construction of a
new bridge. 1t should be raised some
two feet and then the lower timbers
would be above high water, the
substructure should offer as little re-
sistance to water as possible; the ap-
proaches should be as low as the i'm
mediate grade to the bridge would per-
nit, in order that the food water might
have extra room for escape. The
bridge could be strengthened for these
extreme occasions by running cables,
possibly old steam pillow cables, to the
banks and there anchor them in ex-
cavations filled with sufficient rock. l
believe this simple addition would have
saved Hanapepe bridge and probably
the others
