Here is a goodly observation by
the Montgomery City Standards
Now is a mighty good time for the
plain, common people of this
country to talk to their congress
man on the good roads question.
The people pay the taxes, and,
when the government has collected
enough to spare a couple hundred
millions, it is not out of order to
suggest that this money could be
spent to better advantage on a
public road than on a ship canal.
The people use the roads; not one
man in thousand would use a
canal

MEN DROWNED NEAR SEATTLE
STEAMERS CROWDED BEYOND
THEIR CAPACITY.

Seattle Wash. Jan 5--The flood sit
nation in the district south of Seattle
does not seem to be greatly improved
this morning. only the most meager
particulars from the various points
have been received The first casualty
as a result OF the rising of the waters
is reported from O'Brien. on the North
ern Pacific. between Seattle and Ia
coma. There the water is six or eight
feet high. and last night it was rush
ing past the houses with the swiftness
of a mountain current Two men,
Martin Cummings and F. Shaughnessy,
were in a boat rescuing people from
second-stOry windows, and on one OF
the trips the boat capsized and Cum
mings and 'Shaughnessy were both
drowned
From Orillia comes the news that the
water has receded about six inches,
but that half of the town is still in
doors or compelled TO go about in
boats. Many head of cattle are kept
in barns and are standing in two and
three feet of water.
No trains are running through the
flooded district, the Northern Pacific
this morning making no effort to re-
sumo operations between this city and
Tacoma.
A special to the Times from Olympia,
Wash, says:
The train service to this city yes
terday was entirely discontinued until
o'clock in the evening, when local
from Tacoma made the round trip,
bringing the mail
The wagon and railroad bridges
across Nesqually river were in a dan
gerous condition, but it is thought they
will be saved, as the flood is subsidinS.
No train has reached here from Port
land since Friday.
Deschutes river is raging and the
highest volume of water is pouring
over the falls known in years The
city was in total darkness Saturday
and Sunday nights, owing to the flood
ing of the electric light and power
house at Tumwater. At II O'Clock
last night the lights were again burn
! ing in part of the town, but the street
cars are not running yet
The greatest loss by the flood has
been the bOttling works belonging to
| the brewing company, which was
wrecked Friday night and damaged tC
the extent of $4,000. Fine weather to-
day will probably avert any further
caiamitieS.

here. The partial paralysis to business
is being felt more and more.
Today a private Office was established
for the distribution of mail collected
by an independent messenger service
from Heathmann and Greenville.
Both of these Dostoffices are being
congested with mail as the result Of
the closing of this office. The independ-
ent Office here Will be maintained at the
expense of the citizens. No serious
trouble is anticipated by the more con-
serYative people, but precautions have
been taken by both the city and county
officials to deputize a sufficient COM
plement of men should the occasion de-
mand Fostoffice inspectors are here

doned office A large number OF peo-
pie publicly aver that they VIII not ac-
cept the negro woman as postnlistresS

dent.
Wayne Cox, husband of Minnie Cox,
the negro postmistress, who is 0 clerk
in the railroad mail service, passed
through here on his regular run last
night, but would not discuss the mat
ter. He has been in the government
service for fourteen years and bears i
good record.
An authorized statement from the
mayor says that conditions are such
that he would not advise Mrs. Cox TO
open the postOffice- The mayor further
stated that if the situation at any time
showed that the WOman'S life. liberty
or property were in jeopardy, he would
swear in a sufficient number Of men
TO afford her ample protection.
The undercurrent of excitement eX-
tends to surrounding towns. A large
number OF strangers are here, and more
