VENICE FLOODED.
Water in St Marks Cathedral Threat
ened Serious Danger.

Venice, Dec. 7.-As a result of the ex-
tremely bad weather, with a violent
wind, which has resulted for some days,
Venice was almost entirely under water
for few hours to-day. At the piazza
of the Cathedral of St. Mark the flood
rose to a height of four feet, while in
side the cathedral the water was so
high as to threaten serious damage.
Gondolas had to be used from shopdoor
to shopdoor until bridges were impro-
vised by the firemen, the ordinary
bridges having disappeared. The water
gradually Subsided. There is a fear
that unless the weather changes there
will be another flood during the night.

Postofice Robber Confesses Under

When McIvor-Tyndall recovered, he
journeyed south to the miIder climate
of Los Angeles, and here the influence
of fate seems to have directed his work
and determined his career for one day,
while inspecting the prison in company
with w. A. Spalding and Chief of
Police Glass and Detective Bosqui, they
came across a prisoner who had been
detained on suspicion of being implicat-
ed in several burglaries. No evidence
was obtainable against him, and the
prisoner refused to speak, pretending
to be deaf and dumb. There is a fell

And then the young wizard, laying

told him that he must answer truth

HEALTH COMMITTEE REPORTS.
Senator Dickey reported for the spe
cial session health committee as fol-
lows:
We have been unable to find any
serious charges against the Board of
the past biennial period
The problem Of insuring the public
health against epidemics and insanitary
conditions without entailing serious ex-
pense and hardship on the part of the
people, is a very difficult one, and while
the Board of Health may have made
some errors in Judgment in attempting
to solve the problem we feel that they
have acted to the best of their ability
in the matter and are entitled to the
appreciation of the public.
Your committee would recommend
that the REGULATE in regard to plumb
ing and sewerage be made as much as
practicable, a matter of law instead of
remaining simply regulations of the
Board under general powers granted
them, and this be done in a manner
to conserve the public health at as
small an expense to individuals as pos
sible.
We recommend that in such laws no |
charge be made for connecting premises |
with the sewers but that such expense
be borne by the county or city and that !
there be no yearly rates for use of |
sewer Ha

Oats in Place Of Wheat.

There are many localities In which
it does not pay to grow winter wheat.
Possibly because of the low price in
some sections. or for other good rea.
sons. II winter oats will succeed they
may frequently be grown with profit,
for the market price is generally good
There are many advantages in grow.
ing winter oats. particularly in warm
localities, for the season Of growth Is
during the cool portion Of the fall and
spring, so that they fill well, while the
spring-sown' oats succumb to the warm
summers. In growing winter oats the
seeding should be done early In Sep
TENDER and on good soil. 1t is true
that oats will do well on less fertilizing
than wheat, but. on the other hand,
they pay well for good fertiizing.
BY sowing at the time specified they
will get good start and cover the
ground sufficient to protect the roots
during the winter. In the spring they
may be late in starting up, but they
will come unless the winter has been
sufficiently severe to kill them out
completely. The plan is we'll worth
trying. at least on small area.

SURVEY NORTHERN WATERS.
Navy Department to Make Charts OF
Alaska Coast.


Washington. Nov. 20.-The navy
department is making plans for sur
veying the waters of Northern Alaska
and the Aleutian islands, in the inter
est of navigation. The examination
of part of the Aleutian chain by the
gunboat Concord, two years ago, con-
WINGED the department that those wat
ers are either uncharted or are in
correctly charted, which is worse. The
fact that correct charts of these wa
ters are wanting, and the conditions of
fog and stormy weather there often
prevail, make navigation in the vi.
cinity of the Aleutian islands and in
Boring sea extremely hazardous.
The growing commerce of Alaska
and the increasing importance of the
northern route to vessels plying be-
tween North Pacific ports and China
and the Philippines, make it desirable
that correct charts be provided as
early as possible.
