Scarce.

MOSCOW, Idaho, Jan. 16.-The water In
the big Potlach river is receding, but large
part of the town Of Kendrick is stll under
water The change OF the river current to-
wards the town is said to be partly the re-
suit of recent train wreck. Many tons OF
steel rails were left in the river This
caught the driftwood and formed a dam
which diverted the channel and turned It
toward the main street of Kendrick. The
stores will lose thousands Of dollars in ruined
goods as in many of the buildings the
water was waist-deep. The tracks OF the
Northern Pacific railway for miles between
Vollmer and Lewiston are washed out.
Strange as it may seem, one of the sorest
needs Of Kendrick is drinking water, as the
water works and wells are ruined. The

SOUTHERN PACIFIC is ATTACHED.
Caused by n Dispute Over $4,000 with
u Trading Company.


NEW YORK, Jan 16.-The general offices
on Broadway, in this city, of the Southern
Pacific were placed in the hands of the
sheriff today as the result of an attach
ment secured against the railroads prop
erty by the Tweedie Trading company. The
amount involved is said to be $1,000 seem
ingly a small matter.
Some time ago the road chartered a boat
belonging to the Tweedie company. The
agreement was that the railroad was to
bring the boat from New Orleans to Boston
and thence to New York. When the cargo
was discharged in the city of Boston the
Southern Pacifc's agents. so it is alleged,
refused to go any further. The owners
of the vessel claim that they were forced
to bring the vessel to New York themselves
and pay all the costs. They put in a bill
to the road for upwards of $1,000, but the
latter said that $4,000 was enough and re-
fused to pay more. The matter was taken
before the Board of Directors of the Pro-
duce exchange for arbitration and they de-
cided that the bill Of the vessels owners
was legitimate. Still the Southern Pacific
refused to settle and the attachment was
issued.
