6oOD WEATHER AHEAD.
Barometric Indications Are Favorable
for Warm Days.

Everything indicates that the next
few days will be of the same excellent
kind of weather that the last ones have
been. The barometer has been ex-
tremely high for several days and sta
tionary at that point. and there are
no indications OLA change.
Last night was rather cool, the mer-
curry getting down to. about "a degrees
after o'clock this morning. 1t has
been this low once before this year on
October 4, when it registered the same.
The frost last night was quite heavy,
but it frequently frosts at So to 81 de-
grees here, according to Observer New
man.
Rainfall is deficient this month by
Al inches although the year is ahead
by 2.52 inches of the normal.

MAY GET AFTER CUSnMAN
REPUBLICANS ARE NOT Salts
FLED WITH HIS PART IN
THE CAMPAIGN.
Shake Up of Congressional Districts
in the State May Be Feature
of Legislature.

A great Shakeup of congressional af-
fairs may be one of the sensational fea-
lures of next winters session of the
legislature at Olympia.
A report from the coast states that
combination of the northwest, south
west and eastern Washington men,
bers of the next legislature and the
passage of bill placing Pierce and
King counties in one congressional l dis
trict was the threat held over the re-
publicans of Pierce county to compel
them to exert themselves in behalf of
Mead and the balance of the republican
state ticket. -....
Warnings have heretofore been given
Pierce county that to secure any
chance for the reelection of Senator
Foster it must give a substantial ma
jority for Mead. The danger of losing
Congressman Cushman two years hence
and the wiping of Pierce county off
the political map of the state of Wash
ington is now being seriously discussed
was the penalty for failure to respond
in accordance with the favors hereto
fore granted the county by the srepub-
lican party.
Cushman is being severely criticized
Inv, lsox 1,;e
at such a critical time to go east and
speak for the national committee.
Although the members of the legis-
lature elected by Thurston county are
known to be for Foster, and although
the county gave a big vote for Cush-
man, the political future of these two
favorites is openly admitted to be dark
and gloomy.
The talk of combination to place
Pierce and King in one congressional
district was frank and open, with the
complete understanding that such a
measure would anean the elimination
of Cushman two years hence, as a re-
suit of the immensely larger vote Of
King county, which wants a congress
man itself.
The Morning Olympian, well known
as strong friend of Senator Foster, in
an editorial frankly admits that there
is danger to both Foster and Cushman
in the apathy of the republicans in
Pierce county, and it openly declares
the kind mentioned above would likely
have been the outcome of the defeat
of Mead in Pierce county.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Baby Daughter of J. J. Schiffner Just
Escapes Drowning.

Lucille, the little tWO-year- daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. J. J. Schiffner
came very near being drowned shortly
after noon today. She was rescued
from the water by one of the neighbOr' S
little girls. She and her sister had
been playing in the back yard of the
Schiffner residence on Division street
and it is supposed that Lucille had
wandered off down to the spring
branch which runs through corner
of the yard and while playing on the
edge had slipped in. When recovered
she was black and blue and had she
remained in the water much longer the
result would very likely have been SER
ious.

WALLA WALLA HAS GOOD
CHANCE OF SECURING A
HANDSOME STRUCTURE.
State Secretary Wilcox Will Make
Canvass in the City in the
Near Future.

The people of Spokane are making a
strong effort to secure a Young Mems
Christian association building in that
city. In advancing the subject the
Chronicle had this to say:
That Spokane is not the only city OF
eastern Washington making a great
effort to secure "a young mems Chris
tan association building is evidenced
by the following from the last issue of
Spokane Young Mem"
Walla Walla, city only about one
quarter the size of Spokane, is getting
into line and has a good prospect OF
securing an association building.
A single subscriber, Mrs. Lettuce J.
Reynolds, has offered business prop
erty valued at $4,000 for a young
mems Christian association building,
with the condition that $4,000 more be
secured from the general public to re-
model and equip the property for as
ISOLATION purposes The building in
question produces an income in rentals
of about $40 a month. Mrs. Reynolds
stipulates that the association shall
pay her 1925 a month as long as she
lives, and at her death the property
goes to the association without reser-
walton.
For a year the citizens of Walla
Walla have desired to organize a young
mems Christian association, but do not
propose to effect an organization until
property has been secured, thus insur-
ing permanently
The calls for organization and Sec
retaries expert in financing new build
ing enterprises have been so numer-
Gus that it has not been possible to
take care of the need at Walla Walla.
AS soon as Mr.. Wilcox, associate state
secretary of Washington. gets through
with the present canvss at Bellingham
where new association building has
been recently erected, he will probably
take up the Walla Walla matter.

WHITMAN AND MOSCOW WILL
TUsSLE WITH THE MOLE
SKIN TOMORROW.
Both Teams Are in Excellent Condi-
ton and Will Put 6p Strong
Fight.

Whitman is all ready for the big
football game tomorrow. Over an hour
of the fastest signal practice of the
year was gone through with yesterday
afternoon and the way the team showed
up brought smiles to the faces of
coach and captain. The most cOnser-
vative allow that it is far better
team than went up against Washing
ton university in the beginning of the
season. Although the giants from the
University of Idaho which meet Whit
man on the gridiron tomorrow will be
far bigger and heavier men than the
local team, still the Whitman boys
think they have some plays that will
make result that. will surprise them
some. Good straight football, with few
fakes or tricks, will be the article,
which the missionaries will serve up
on the old college gridiron at 80 to-
morrow afternoon. A large delegation
of rooters will be out to cheer for the
of students was held at a late hour
this afternoon to practice the yells, and
get in shape for giving effective en-
couragement to the players from the
sidelines. The new Whitman college
band will make it's first bow to the
public at this. game from a prominent
place on the sidelines.
The Moscow team arrived in charge
of Coach Griffith on the $3.50 o. R. &
N train this afternoon. A reception
will probably be given to them at Rey-
nolds hall tomorrow evening.
Dorsey Hill, who has been coaching
the Whitman team this season, was
asked about the prospects of the game
tomorrow. He said: The team is in
much better shape than it was and is
playing faster ball. l will use three
or TOUR inherent men imam ulU III the
Seattle game, in an effort to strengthen
the line. We expect to play faster
game than at Seattle. The men are all
in good physical condition and will
play the best ball that is in Them
Captain r. V. Perringer also thinks
that the team is in fine condition for
the fray. He said: The team is in
better shape tilan-it ever was. We eX-
pect to make Moscow. play ball"
The lineup which Whitman will put
up against the Moscow miners will be
as follows: J. Gilbreath, center; Hay
lett O'Neill, right guard David
Graham. left guard; r. V. Perringer,
right tackle: George Reser, left tackle:
Arthur Morgan, right end; J. Lyman,

HUGE RESERVOIR BURSTED|
WATERS SWEEP WIDE PATH OF
RUIN.
Bursting Of Reservoir Causes Heavy
Loss in OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
From Foundations and Carried on
Crest Of a Mighty Wave.

Scottdale, Pa.-With the roar Of Nj
agara. the reservoir of the Citizens
Water company burst at midnight
Sunday, and more than 3OO,O00.000
gallons Of water rushed down the val
ley sweeping all before 1t and inun-
dating crops and wrecking buildings
in its path. 1t was discovered about
8 o'clock that the dam was in danger
OF breaking. and messengers were sent
through the valley to warn the people.
Hundreds of lives were thus saved,
for few hours later the whole val
ley was under water.
The damage to the machinery and
reservoir alone will amount to $50, 900.
When the torrent swept down upon
the valley, buildings were torn from
their foundations and carried on the
crest Of the great wave like SO many
washtubs. Crops valued at thousands
of dollars were completely wiped out.
Bridges were carried away. In the
gorge just below the dam huge trees
were torn out by the roots, weighing
tons, and overturned by the food.
The new pump and engine installed
Saturday below the face Of the dam
to pump the leakage back into the
reservoir were wrenched from their
foundations. propelled 20 yards from
their original positions and buried un.
der the mass Of wreckage from the
wall of water.
