THREE CHILDREN DROWNED
High Water Causes Great Destruction
Of Property in KendriCk.

The town of Kendrick, in the
Potlatch canyon, was the scene of
the greatest disaster which has
happened to any Idaho town with
in our recollection on Friday last.
For "a hours heavy rain had been
falling steadily, accompanied by Il
chinook wind which melted the
snow on the surrounding mount
aims and brought down a torrent
OF raging water which inundated
the town, flooding the streets,
undermining residences and sweep
ing away large portion of the
town. Three children were swept
away from one home and scores
are homeless. The loss to prop
elty will reach many thousands of
dollars.
The water had been steadily
rising all day Friday and at $50
in the afternoon a foot of water
rolled down the Main street and
it was thought that it.could come
no higher. At this time the
railroad embankment above the
city broke, which let loose a vast
flood of water which carried death
and destruction in its wake.
Street commissioner Hamlin and
his wife and three children were
in a buggy in the street escaping to
higher ground, when II big pile of
cOrdwood which had been released
by the t rrent struck them, over
turning the buggy and the children
were tioatcd away with no power
to save them. The father was
rescued with great difficulty, and
Mrs. Haml,n was only saved by
provideutially clutching at the
roof OF a house as she was swept
along by the torrent. She remain
ed on the roof all night and was
finally rescued from her perilous
position in the morning. At tht
time Of the accident it was toe
dark to render any assistance or
to take any steps towards rescuing
the children. The body of one
has since been discovered.
No estimate of the damage done
can be obtained for some time.
Twenty houses were swept away
and the damage to business men
is very great. In some instances
irreparable ruin has resulted. All
bridges above and below the town
were swept away and the railroad
company will suffer a terrible loss.
Several miles of it's track and
grade will have to be rebuilt. The
Lewiston passenger train was sur
rounded by water and all the mail
will have to be sent by way ol
Uniontown for at least week to
come.
The Farmers elevator was car
ried away, together with a large
amount Of wheat. The county
officials of Latah county are
rendering what aid they can to the
homeless and destitute. The scene
of ruin along the creek is simply
indescrfbable. On account of the
flood no mail from the east was
received here Sunday and Monday,

Idaho Postmistress in Alaska

Idaho POstmistress in Alaska.
Miss Clara Richards of Idaho,
who has been post mistress at
Dyea ever since the Klondike
rush, and who filed her resignation
over year ago, has just received
notice from. the department of the
appointment of her successor. The
busines Of the Dyea Office in the
old log cabin, during the winter of
1878 was enormous and seldom
was the long line of miners wait
ing for their turn broken during
the day. The cancellations ran
up from 81 cents month in Jan.
1897 to over 1926 for a single day
in May 1898, and the inspector
informed Miss Richards that her
Office had the credit of doing the
largest single days money order
business of any fourth class office
in the US. Through that depart
mept alone Miss Richards handled
over $150,0OO during the rush,
although the money order branch
was not established until April
1898, and she was much of the
time out of blanks and unable to
issue orders.
Next in Importance to the money
order business and registry depart
ment was the forwarding of mail
and she at one time had 5000
names on her forwarding books
During the first quarter Of 1895
much of the work was performed
by voluntary help, as it was en-.
tirely beyond the ability of any
one person to do it. Later after
the arrival Of special inspector
an allowance of S4O0 a month was
made for clerk hire and still Later
the Office was raised 20 third clas,
and Miss Richards paid a fixed
salary with an allowance for CLERK
hire, rent, fuel and light.
Owing however to the suddel
falling off in business, it was sool
reduced to fourth class and al

DoingS at Camp Dewey.

Things are taking on lively
turn over at camp Dewey on the
south fork of the Clearwater.
There are now several properties
besides the Dewey that promise to
turn out we'll. The owners of the
Copper Stain have a lead that car
ries four foot paystreak avera-
ging little better than $40 in
gold.
In the Grass Roots vein the
copper values are increasing, the
latest returns giving 12 per cent.
Frank Brown, of Mt. Idaho, has
purchased a fourth interest in the
Grass Roots group Tuesday, the
seller being Nick McGree. There
is a lot of talk about the phenom-
email showings on the Creole Girl.
On the Pride of the Clearwater
Joe Baker has encountered his
lead at the end of a forty-foot
cross cut tunnel.
The Mountain Queen has been
purchased by a local mining man
this week. There is a large deal
on the tapis that if successfully
carried out on the Clearwater will
mean much for Grangeville.
The Press will be at liberty to
give the details of this in next
weeks issue. The Dewey too,
continues to show up even better
than the most sanguine could have
anticipated. Mr.. Otto Abeling,
the Dewey engineer, is to be con-
graduated on the splendid work he
is doing in blocking out the Dewey
ore bodies.
The growth of Vineland, and its
newly named town of Charleston
continues to be marvel to all
visitors. Some 800 people. 300
to 400 residences and business
buildings, orchards and vineyards
already beginning to bear the
finest offruits, graded and graveled
streets. over mile of plank side
walks, an $4,000 steel bridge
all these the growth of less than
four years time. For the near fut-
ure, two railroad bridges, two
great railroads with their stations,
"a street railway, manufactures run
by electric power, and pipe line
water system-all Of fthese in add.
ition to the present realities are
likely to be realized within this
year of our Lord 1900. Not thu
least of the interesting realities O
Vineland, however, are the man,
fine homes, pretty gardens ant
valuable orchards already estab
lished, giving to the entire distric
solidity and permanence, ant
general prosperity not to be gain

PROBATION of THE TREASURY.
Equipped With small Notes 10 Meet
Moving Crop Dema nds

NEW YORK. June ia special TO the
Journal of Commerce from washington
says:
The treasury is facing the crop moving
season very well equipped with govern
ment notes but under some pressure in
regard TO supplying the large volume Of
new bank notes which have been applied
for under the god standard law. The
probability of a heavy demand for notes
was anticipated early in the winter. Tre-
cautions were taken to print large stock
of silver certificates Of the denomination
of 81 and 81 and United States notes of
larger denominations. Treasury notes is
sued under the Sherman law are no long
er being printed. In accordance with the
mandate Of the gold standard law for
their gradual retirement.
As a result OF the precautions taken
early in the winter II has been possible
to reduce the printing of government notes
somewhat and 10 put the force of the
bureau of engraving and printing more
largely on to new bank notes. IL IL pro-
posed after this week TO begin work upon
the new silver certificates for s.. for which
the design has just been completed. II
has been the experience that after notes
have been issued of a new design there Is
great unwiilingness TO accept those Of an
old design, even when fresh. For this
reason few certificates for s. have been
Issued recently from the old Plates and
preparations nave been maze 70 issue
from the new plates as soon as they are
ready. The treasury will be amply sup
oiled with notes for exchange. but may
be somewhat handicapped in issuing any
different class of note from that offered
for exchange, because of the scant mar
gin of authorized issues.
