FOR PORTLAND FAIR.
Utah Legislature ApprOpriates $4,000 for
Lewis and Clark Exposition.

Lewis and Clark Exposition.
Salt Lake City, Utah, March IL
The Utah Legislature today passed bill
appropriating $40, 900 for an exhibit at
the Lewis and CLARK exposition to be
held in Portland in 1905. Action on
the measure, which had previously
been passed by the senate, was unani-
mously in favor OF the bill, which went
through without discussion.
Although but $4,000 is named as
the appropriation for the Portland fair,
the exhibit will really cost many times
that amount. A companion bill,
which also passed the Legislature to-
day, provides for the expenditure Of
$50, 900 for Utah exhibit at st. Louis
in 1904. The st. Louis exhibit will be
moved entire to Portland. The appro-
priation for the Portland fair is designed
to .oyer the cost OF transfer, and to re-
place any portions Of this display that
may be destroyed or lost. Should the
funds permit, additions will be made
for the Portland exhibit, as it is the
wish OF Governor Wells to make the
most creditable showing possible at The
Portland fair. 1t is certain that Gov
ernor Wells will approve both meas
ures passed by the legislature today.
The governor has been strong advo-
cate of a large appropriation for the
purpose Of these exhibits, and heartily
endorses the two pills.

PLAIUE OF WATER.
All Rivers in Middle West and South are
Booming g-AIl Industry Stopped.

Booming -AIl Industry Stopped.
st. Louis, March 12.-The Missis-
sippi river and all its tributaries are
above or near the food stage and con-
tinued rain through their vast water
shed threatens food hardly paralleled
in the history Of the Middle West and
South. The Ohio and all its tribu-
taries, after receding for few days,
are again rising, and the lowlands are
flooded at many points. The ice in
the streams which empty into the Mis-
souri, from the west has broken up and
carried many bridges with it. The
area covered by the foods will extend
from the foothills of the Alleghenies
on the east to those of the Rockies on
the west and from the great lakes to the
gulf.
At several points the Mississippi has
already overhowed its banks or threat
ems to break the levees and is still ris-
ing rapidly.
The worst damage, so far, has been
done in Nebraska, where the wreck ol
bridges has stopped traffic on all rail-
roads running west except the Burling'
ton.
From all directions come reports o.
people fleeing from flooded bottom lands
TO the hills or seeking refuge in the
upper stories of their houses, and o
factories rendered idle by the floods
advancing to their boiler rooms.

WILL FIGHT TO A FINISH.
Canadian Pacific Strike Spreading From
Vancouver Eastward.

Vancouver, B. g., March l2.--Al-
though it seemed probable a few days
ago that settlement was about to be
effected between the striking employees
and the Canadian Pacific railway, all
negotiations were broken of today.
The strikers say that it will be q bat
tie to the finish. The United Brother
hood Of railway employees says that the
apparent Willingness Of the company to
arbitrate for settlement was merely q
ruse to gain sufficient time in which
to recruit substitutes for the striking
men. There is no question OF wages
or working hours in the matter.
Supporting the cause of the strikers.
all members Of their organization along
the line have been today called out,
Calgary, Winnipeg and Fort William
being particularly interested.
The company, on the other hand, has
received another carload of Eastern
men, and now has l25 substitutes. with
which it will endeavor to carry on gen.
eral business. These men are quar-
tered in box cars on the wharves, en-
trance to the wharves being guarded
day and night by Canadian Pacific
special policemen. The following no
tice addressed to shippers and all others
concerned is published:
"This company is now prepared to
accept all goods offered for shipment.
The same can be delivered either at
our local sheds or our wharf ware
houses
The strikers are receiving funds from
unions throughout British Columbia
and from Portland, Seattle and other
places.
From the head Office OF the company
at Montreal is coming William Whyte,
assistant to the president, who will try
to settle the strike.

INTO THE FLOOD.
Nineteen Passengers on Hudson River
EerrybOat Drowned. AN

Glens Falls, N. Y, March lO.-Nine-
teen men are dead as the result OF the
capsizing of the boat used by the work.
meR at the Spies falls, about 10 miles
west of Glens Falls, on the Hudson
river. More than 1000 men are en-
ployed there at present in the construc-
tion Of the power dam of the Hudson
river power company. The laborers
and many of the masons are Italians,
who live in shanties on the north side
of the river. The main portion of the
work is carried on at present on the OPP
posite side OF the river. The men have
been in the habit of crossing "a small
bridge, where the river flows through
an unfinished portion of the dam, but
the river has been rising for several
days, and the company, fearing the
bridge was unsafe, destroyed it with
dynamite.
Below the bridge about the work is
ferry. The boat isa scow-shaped affair,
about 80 feet long and about 13 feet
wide, and is operated by means of
cables. 1t is large enough to carry
heavily loaded team and as many as
$50 men have been taken across on il
at one time.
When the men were being carried
across yesterday an Italina boy became
frightened and fell overheard. He was
rescued, however.
This morning 20 or so men got
aboard of the boat, leaving big crowd
on the bank waiting for the next trip.
When a few feet from the shore, the
water splashed against the rail, and
the boy who had fallen overheard the
previous day seized one of the tackle
ropes which ran from the overhead
cabin to the stern of the boat. Some
of the men started toward him and in.
stantly the boat Careened and filed.
The Hudson, swollen by the fresh
rains, bore score or more of the strug-
Cling men down stream. Many others
succeeded in catching hold Of the boat,
which had righted, and there they
clung until they we're pulled ashore.
The widest excitement prevailed but
the current carried many of the men
toward shore, and they were rescued.
Teams were quickly harnessed and
loaded with skilled log drivers and sent
down the river to points where the
bodies would likely be found. Dozens
of dinner pals, hats and coats were
fshed out. but it was nearly O'Clock
before the first body was found.
The river for miles is being watched
and dragged in hopes of finding the
bodies of the victims. There were but
two or three English speaking men on
the boat.
1t is unlikely that all the bodies will
be recovered. The river is full of logs,
and at the high boom, five miles down
the river, there are many thousands of
them.

Strife In shipyards.

New York, March 10. = Unless de-
mands by the striking boilermakers
and iron shipbuilders who left the yards
of Townsend & Downey, at Shooter is
land, about month ago, are complied
with, general strike will be called by
the delegates of the union. An ulti-
matum has been delivered to the EN-
ployers, and an answer will be made
today. II 1t is unfavorable, as the
employers say it will be, no fewer than
s 900 men will throw down their tools
in the shipbuilding yards in New York,
Brooklyn and New Jersey.

War Among Teamsters.
Toledo, o., March 12. - After four
successive attacks had been made on
nonunion teamsters by striking union
men, member OF the Toledo carriage
association declared that he would
make application to Governor Nash
tomorrow to call out the state militia
to protect the associations men and
interests.
Today has been one Of the most excit-
ing in the city's history, nor is the. ex-
citement abbated by the strikers de
claration that general strike will be
called and that no Toledo freight will
be handled by teamsters in any part OF
the country.
The trouble began at noon when q
mob of 400 strikers and sympathizers
followed truck through the principal
business streets, endeayoring to knock
and pull from his place nonunion
driver. The mob attempted to Go vic
Ience to Manager Turner, OF the More
ton truck company. Both men we're
saved from serious injury, however, by
the police. Later the police gave no
tice that any further provocation given
the strikers would be the fault of the
employers and that they would not in.
terfere hereafter.
Later an attempt was made to throw
a nonunion driver into the river, but the
man was saved by the police. Not hall
an hour later another nonunion truck
driver was torn from truck in front o.
the Moreton truck company's office
and at the muzzle of revolver was
compelled to run for his life. A simi'
lar fate befell nonunion teamstel
within a block Of the police station.

CAN'T BEAT CUBAN TTEATY.
Not Enough Opposing Votes Can Be Found
to Prevent Ratification.

Washington. March 12.-If the Gu
ban treaty is defeated it will be by
Democratic votes, and il will take
nearly the entire Democratic member
ship to accomplish this result. As the
senate stands, there are 81 Republicans
aud 33 Democrats. So far as known,
with one exception, (Bard, of Califor-
nia), all the Republicans are in favor
of the treaty. This makes So votes;
four more would be sufficient to ratify.
The opposition must secure 81 votes in
order to defeat it and this is not be-
lieved to be possible.
The men who were so antagonistic to
the reciprocity bill that came over
from the house during the first session
of the last congress are not making any
opposition, so far as can be learned.
The Democratic opposition is the COM
bination Of sugar and tobacco interests
who fear that 20 per cent reduction
will seriously injure the home produc'
tion of these commodities. AT the
same time it is not believed that their
opposition is sufficient to control 81
votes.

Receiver Appointed.

Judge Barley, of the Corporation
Court has appointed Mr.. Gustav Ayres
receiver of the interstate Pure Food
Company. The receiver was appointed
on the application of J. K. James, an
employe of the company, who alleges
that the sum of $3.50 is due him for

there are several other claims against
the company; that the company is in
solvent; that the funds are being dis
sipated; that mail is being forwarded
from Alexandria to Washington, out Of
the jurisdiction of the court, &c. The
attachment was placed in the hands of
CITY Sergt. r. II. Cox, who took posses
sion of the effects of the company at their
plant on north Lee street. As soon as
MIR. Ayres was named as receiver City
Sergt. Cox turned over the property of
the company to him. Mr.. Ayres has
