The FLOODS UNPRECEDENTED.-T
late floods on Puget Sound and Co.
lumbia river tributaries, west Of the
Cascades have been the worst for Is
years. On White river, miles OF
track have been washed away and
trains from the East we're held up
several days. On the Cowlitz. the
situation has been little if any better.
The railroad traffic has had to be
transferred by boat from Kelso to
Castle Rock. About 1900 cords OF
shingle bolts were carried away and the
wagon bridge was swept out. In some
plsces &ie track in Cowlitz county is
covered for long distances to the depth
Of two feet with stones and mud.
Traffic on tho Great Northern has
likewise been interrupted and several
bridges near Madison have been car.

Coroner says that most of the evidence
goes to show that the victims OF the

evidence was furnished by a clerk in

Too TIRED TO STAND LONG.-A Lon
don dispatch of the ID inst, in noting
a performance OF Sousa band in that
city, says a curious incident was noted
at the beginning of the programme.
The band opened with "God Save the
King" when, as usual, the audience
arose to their feet. The melody with
out stopping merged into the" Star
Spangled Banner" when majority OF
those present sat down. Whether this
action was significant of present ad-
verse feeling or not, it is a contrast to
the entwining of flags at time few
months ago when England was culti-
waiting amicable relations with this
country for fear OF a more powerful
antagonist than the Beers, who kept
England ON the grill so long. 1t may
be, however, the audience was COM
posed largely of walters, or footmen,
whose vocation keeps them so much
afoot that they sat down from sheer
exhaustion.
COOP performers on the mimic stage
sometimes act some very silly parts in
the drama Of life. The latest instance
is afforded by Emma Calve, who, it is
announced will marry Frenchman,
named Jules Bots, out of spite for jilt
from Henry Cain, the painter. 1t had
been announced that her marriage to
the artist would soon take place, but
the contradiction OF the report came
in positive manner when Mr.. Cain
led to the altar Mile. Guirandon, the
pretty soprano of the Opera Comique.
Calve has, however, selected a much
richer man than Cain, if that is any
compensation.

muzzle in the middle of her forehead
and blew the top of her head of. No.
body heard the shot. The husband,
who was tired out with many nights
of anxiety, watching her, slept soundly
until Z o'clock, when he awoks to find
his wife gone, and on going to the

The Same Old Slurs.

The truth is bad enough, regarding
capitol construction, without the lead
ing newspaper correspondents flinging
sticks at our people for conditions
which makes it necessary for the Leg
islature, as the Orcgonidn expresses
it, to meet in "barn." 1t was be.
cause the contract for building the
capitol annex was awarded to man
who had just successfully held the
State up for an $4,000 dollar graft on
the former capitol deal, and that the
Secretary OF State, in his wisdom,
deemed it best to reconstruct a" barn."
and adapt it to Legislative purposes,
rather than to spend the same outlay
on the old capitol building and con-
vert it into much better place OF
meeting, that the present conditions
exist, and not from any fault OF the
people.
1t is indeed shame that Contractor
Goss Was allowed to fritter away many
months Of fine weather, and give no
better excuse than that he was de-
laycd in getting the iron-work, owing
to labor troubles, when had the order
been placed soon as the obligation was
assumed by him, ample time would
have been afforded for having the con-
tract filled, rs we'll as to settle any
differences of opinion that may have
existed as to meaning Of details of the
contract, between himself and the
architect, on the written specifica.
tons. 1t seems that the bond of the
contractor for completion last October
should have been ample to protect the
interests of the people, as we'll as for
settlement of the contest over the
exact meaning of the terms of the con-
tract, which should bave been an issue
in which those parties were primarily
interested, instead of the State being
drawn into the Jarndyce suit now
dragging its weary length along in the
Superior Court with prospect that it
will be carried higher before finally
settled.
The Oregonidn irtimates that the
"indignsnt Legislature Indignant,
presumably, from the line of argu-
ment that the lawmakers are obliged
to meet in a barn") may once more
take up Olympia's old nightmare,
and talk capitol removal" Ifthey do,
it may be safely charged that it will
be solely owing to just such sugges-
tons from well.fed and well-clothed
visitors who come and enjoy the royal
hospitality of our people and then
pour oil Of vitriol on the sore spots
which have so long disturbed our re-.
pose. There is one thing, however, we
may say, and that's The wound has
become somewhat calloused, and our
people will hereafter rely upon merit
and justice rather than obsequies &C.
quisence in the demands of those hav-
ing axes to grind.

An Improved Electric Plant.


The plans OF the Olympia Light and
Power Co., may be somewhat precipi-
tated. but were by no means suggested,
by the proposed invasion Of territory
by the Snoqualmic power company,
who have applied for franchise for
supplying our city with light and
power. 1t has been a long series OF
vexatious troubles, occurring at regular
but short intervals, which impelled
the local company many months ago
to take preliminary steps for better
ment OF their plant at Tumwater. For
a short period in Sumner the power is
inadequate from low water and a short
time in winter the location has been
shown to be liable to accident from
the rushing torrent which fills the
narrow gorge from flooded table
lands forced through this waterway.
Several thousand dollars were spent
some years ago to obviatc the scar
city OF water, by construction OF
large flume to the upper fall, by which
it was hoped the whole volume OF the
stream could be utilized, but it proved
to be OF only limited service, and ever
since that fact was demonstrated, the
company has been engaged in gather
ing information through civil engi.
neers, to make the plant OF ample and
permanent utility.
They had we'll progressed upon that
line OF action long before there was
any prospect OF rivalry or usurpation.
Messrs. Cummings and Ransom, n.y.
draulic engineers Of Seattle, are now
actively engaged in preparing details
for Il service that has received long con-
sideratiop, for making the Tumwater
service efficient at all times and under
all possible contingencies.
1t is proposed to construct the new
works at the lower falls, in the little
bay that was the site of the Horton
wafer pipe works quarter of a century
ago and the first little sawmill on
Puget Sound, built by Mike Simmons
half cycle ago. 1t is at . point
on tide water which can never be
menaced by flood from above or below.
Power will be led from the present
penstock which take water at the
upper fall, and conveyed through
nine.foot stsve pipe line to the site of
the new plant. This will give double
the power now afforded. An auxiliary
steam plant will be installed for emer.
gency service, but it is thought and
hoped that it will never be brought into
requisition; new and, larger dynamos
will be installed, and that no delay
may ensue, the order has already been
forwarded for delivery at TINA that
will ensure service before another sea-
sous may, by peculiar conditions, DEM
onstrate its necessity.
The contemplated improvements
will crowd upon an outlay of $780,
OOO, but will obviate all future worry
OF its owners and complaint Of custom.
ers. 1t will equal any plant on the
coast and enable the company by in.
creased service to afford light and
power at the minimum rates.
It is folly, in view of these facts, to
tolerate, the idea OF encouragement of
. foreign corporation to come in and
supplant an enterprise that is just OBJ
taiuing foothold after many years Of
effort and the expenditure OF much
money. "Live and let live," should be
our motto" and to stand by "tried
friends and true" should he the resolu-
tlon Of every fair-minded citizen.
