POTLATCH FLOOD
North Bound N. P. Train Was
Unable to Pass.

The heavy rains that have been falling
for the last few days in the upper coun-
try and the chinook winds that have been
blowing for the past "A hours have melted
the snow on the mountains and swollen
the tributaries of the Clearwater until il
has reached the highest point since the
June rise, coming up four and five feet in
II hours.
The waters of the Potlatch rose more
rapidly and soon reached the stage where
the strong current made fierce attack
upon the grade. When the north bourd
passenger train reao he'd the mouth of the
Potlatch this morning it found washout
in the grade. At that time about so feet
of the track had been cut away by the
current and the gap was beirg widened
every moment. The train backed down
to Spalding and laid there till O'Clock
when it returned to the washout to
transfer its mail and passengers.
The outlook was not promising and
the trains returned to Lewiston. The
officials are confident that the train can
make its trip as usual in the morning,
but the passengers who saw the condition
of the road think it impossible.
NOT so BAD AS REPORTED.
KENDRIcK, Dec. 2I.-(Special to the
TELLER. THE washout on the railroad
is not SO bad as reported. Only fifty feet
of the track just above the mouth Of the
Potlatch has been seriously damaged. If
crew could have been secured early
this morning the damage would have
been repaired by this time. The south
bound train has orders to remain here
until 4 p. M, at which time it is thought
the road will be cleared. There is no
damage between this point and Juliaetta
or above here as was first reported.

M. K. & 7. REPORT.
Road in a Prosperous COndl-
tiOn.

The M. X. Il T. railway has
made public its annual report,
which shows large increase in
the business Of the road and gen.
eral prosperity.
AS to the operations Of the road
1t has the following:
The operating expenses were
$S,474, 1902, showing an increase
of 721, ,470.29, resulting in net
earnings of s4,l52, ,SS1.47, being a
decrease as compared with the
previous year, of s35, ,292.50. The
increased charges Of operations are
distributed over all the odtlays in
conducting the business OF the
company with the exception Of
general expenses This is in ac.
cord with the general experience
of American railways, aud repre-.
sents the increased price of labor
and material during the period of
unusual business activity through
which the country has just passed.
The volume Of freight business
shows large percentage of in.
crease, amounting TO 171;102, ,525
ton miles, chiefly represented by
increased movement of grain and
coal, both Of which commodities
are transported at low rates, with
the result that the average receipts
per ton mile was $40 cents as
against .9S4 cents for the previous,
year. The tonnage OF cotton
moved shows, on the otherShand,
decrease Of 108, 900 tons, or about
38 per cent, Had the volume Of
traffic in'this high.class commodity
equaled that Of the previous year,
the result would have been to have
prevented the decrease in the
average rate. The passenger earn
ings show large increase in pas
sengers carried as we'll as in re-
ceipts, rejecting the general COM
mercial activity.
The gross earnings per mile con-
tinue to show increase.

We did not believe it wise policy for
the state of Iowa to establish more than
sOne new normal school at present, nor
do we concur in the movement to give
teachers certificates to graduates OF
private normal schools, unless it can be
satisfactorily demonstrated that these
private schools furnish courses of study
ON a pai with the state normal school,
and require as thorough work. We are
0nq ualifiedly in favor of upbuilding
the state institutions which we now
have, and make them equal if not SUI
penorto those of our neighboring states.
There are several sectarian and private
schools in Iowa today that furnish and
require as efficient if not better work
than the state university. We are in
favor Of placing at the hands of these
state schools every facility possible, OF
> engaging the best instructors obtain.

shove those about us. This cannot be
done without liberal appropriations
