People Compelled to Aband0
Their Homes.

st. Louis, Jnue 8 The entire group
OF East Side cities Lying Just north of
East St. Louis and including Venice,
Madison, West Madison, Newport,
BROOKLYN and Granite City, are under
from ten to eighteen feet Of water,
whlrh is still rising, and deaths from
drowning are variously estimated at
from five to twenty.
Eight Thousand persons have been
DRIVEN from their homes Very little
confirmation of the reports OF drown
ings can be had, as these places are all
cut off from railroad service and tele-
phone communication is uncertain at
best
The weather bureau promises relief
after the river shall have risen to about
thirty-eisgth feet. 1t is now within a
few inches of that mark, but rising
slowly.
The harbor boat Mark Twain and
private yacht Annie Russell, with sew
eral tugs, have gone to Madison and
Granite City where the floods have
casued number of deaths and where
scores of families are cut off from es-
cape and at the mercy of the rising
water.
Dummy trains OF the Terminal Asso-
citation. connecting with skiffs, com.
menced the work of bringing across the
river more than 700 persons who spent
the afternoon and night on the tops OF
houses. and at other points of elevation
above the food in Madison, Venice and
Newport.
Four drownings were reported by the

In East st. Louis, on proclamation

the saloons are closed and every body il
at work on the levees in desperate
effort to save the city, which is from
one to four feet below the level of the
water that presses up against the EN-.
bank ments.
A hastily constructed levee of sand.
bags and mud is all that stands be-
tween the city and almost complete
submersion. If the levee gives way al
the main part OF the city will be quick

Federal Judge Knowles.
Seattle, June 9.-An important deci
sion, affecting many sections of land
now included in the forest reserves of
this state, has been handed down by
Judge Knowles in the United States
district court of Montana 1t defines
the power of the president in withdraw
ing certain lands and including them
within the reserves.
Attorney } G. Boyles, OF Helena,
| who Ir oked after the interests of the
defendant in the case, is now in the
city. he is on his way to Clallam
county, where he has wbeen called to
look into several land cases, and then
90 to Snohomish, where he says similar
conditions exist. In speaking OF the
matter he said:
The suits decided by the United
States district court at Helena will
have an important bearing on many
cases in this this state, and will result
in the exemption of number of home
steads now included in the forest re-
serves.
"rhe Montana suit was an action
brought by the government to recover
from homesteader the value of tim
Der cut from his land after it had been
included in a Montana foreEt reserve
The contention of the defense was that
the homestead was not legally incor-
porated in the reserve, and that the To-
Gator had not lost any of his homestead
rights.
''To explain the case, the homestead
had been located and was used as such
after the reserve was enlarged by direc-
ton of the president SO as to include
the defendants land,
."The decision of the court is in effect
that the power of the president to with
draw certain lands and include them in
the forest reserves has special applica-
ton and does not apply generally.
Also that at the time the homestead
was included in the reserve the land
was not public land, and therefore does
not belong to the land reserve and can
not be included therein.
"rhis is a complete victory for the
defendant. and as the case was more in
the nature of a test will have a bearing
on a very large amount of land in Mon
tana and Washington which is similarly
situated"
