SWEPT
| AWAY
Heavy Rains Caused
SilYertOn Dam TO
Break
Was Built to Furnish Power
Some Of Which Was to
Be Utilized In
Salem

The flood dam at Silverton. recent.
ly constructed by the Union Light.
Power & Traction Co., Of Slyerton
and Woodburn, washed out last night.
This dam was constructed across Sil.
yer Creek. few miles above Silver.
ton, and was completed and accepted
yesterday. The heavy rains caused a
rapid rise of the creek, and last night
the waters above the. structure piled
up 30 feet high. causing such a pres.
sure that the dam gave way. The
wall was constructed at a cost of $1O,.
600 and was to furnish 400 horse pow.
er for the generating of electricity to
be supplied the Citizens Light &
Traction Co Of ihs city. The loles
for the line have been erected from
Silverton to this city. and It was the
plan to complete the line at once and
transmit electricity here. The break
iag Of the dam will cause a little delay
in the completion OF the contract. as
It will take sbme little time to re-
build II, which work will be done
under difficulties at this time Of the
year.

shot and probably fatally wounded the

Of music hall at Coney island. Teets
fired two shots at the girl and then turned
the weapon upon himself, but it missed
fire and he was disarmed before he could
pull the trigger again.
A performance was going on at the
time the tragedy took place and the panic
stricken crowd stampeded, making a rush
for the doors and fighting madly to get
out Of range of the bullets. When Teets
approached the girl as she sat in the bal

From The Journal Bureau, Room As, Post Build
ing, Washington.
Washington, D.. c., June 20.-Eleven
months figures of the treasury bureau Of
statistics, now completed, show that the
foreign commerce OF the United States in
the year about to end will be the largest
In the history Of the country. Imports
will for the first time, exceed a billion
dollars and exports will be larger than in
any preceding year except 1901. The fig
ures which Justify this assertion show that
for the eleven months ending with
May; were $943,597, 1914, and the exports
S1.324, 493, 1888. For the twelve months end
ing with May the imports are $1,016, 712,-
24s, and the exports, 1.413, 733,755.
Beats All Records.
AS the largest imports in any earlier
fiscal year were 5000, 32O,94s. in 1902, it is
quite apparent that the total imports Of
the present fiscal year will exceed those Of
any preceding. year, and that they will
also exceed a. billion dollars, since they
have not fallen below seventy-three-m million
In any month of the past year andare in the
eleven months within f1fty-seven millions
of the billion dollar line
AS the largest exports Of any preced-
Ing year, except 1901, were 81, 1894, 483, 012
in 1900, and those of the eleven months
ending with May were $1.324, 493, 1888, and
the smallest exports Of any month in the
year We're eighty eight millions, it is APP
parent that when the month of June is
added. the export total for the year will
exceed that Of 1900, and will pass the
81, 400, 900, 900 line
The largest total commerce (by which is
meant the imports and exports combined)
OF any earlier year was that Of 1901, $2,-
BIO, 937 ,l56. AS the total imports and ex-
ports for the eleven months ending with
May were s2,26S, o9o,4s7, and the combined
imports of the Hghtest month of the
present year were one hundred and sixty
two millions. it is apparent that the com"
merce of the twelfth month added to the
total already shown by the eleven months
Will make grand total exceeding that
of 1901, which showed the largest total of
imports and exports combined.
Records Of Past Years:
It was only in the year 1872 that the
total commerce first touched the one bill
lion dollar-line, and in 1900 it first
touched the two billion dollar line
Running back thru the century, it
may be said that the total imports
