Stuck River Valley Under Water and
Lives Endangered.
Practically the whole Of the Stuck riv-
er valley, Wash, is one vast sheet Of
water. The river itself is a raging food,
destroying acres Of the most productive
land in the State, and threatening some
substantial dwellings. 1t Is higher than
ever before known since the valley was
settled by white men. Several families
in the vicinity of Sumner have been COM
PEELED to move to escape the torrent. The
rise in the river since the recent heavy
rains has been the greatest and most
rapid ever known. Seventeen inches in
one hour Is recorded at Sumner. The
damage throughout the valley as result
Of the freshet cannot be estimated.

HIGHEST FOR EIGHT YEARS.
Values of Staples Stronger than at An,

Values OF Staples Stronger than at Any
Time Since 1901.
Bradstreet's says: THE last month OF
the Year has opened auspicionsly, finding
trade and industry generally well EN-
ployed, demand treading close upon and
even passing supply, labor troubles avert
ed in some instances by widespread ad-
vances in wages, of small Importance ex-
cept in one or two cities, and with the
general level of values of staples at the
highest point reached for eight years past.
Holiday demand has opened well and col
lections from retail trades therefore show
some improvement. The strength of
cereals, notably wheat, this week, is
reflection largely of decreased receipts at
the Northwest. Wheat, including -four,
shipments for the week aggregate 8, 1885,
831 bushels, against $500, 400 bushels
last week. Corn exports for the week
aggregate 3,S13,699 bushels, against A.
AL, 514 bushels last week." 4 ft
