[IRIT NEWSPAPER IN The NORTHWEST

the state capitol of Oregon and the
building used for that primitive office
is yet standing, though somewhat
modernized. near the Lapwai mission
in Idaho.
This was the first printing office
on the Pacific coast of America, north
of Mexico, thus Idaho has the honor
of having the first printing press on
the coast"
From the same history: "The old
Rammage printing press, sent out to
this coast by the Home Missionary So
ciety of Boston, is now at Hillsboro,
Ore, and Mrs. Spalding, wife of the
missionary, has presented the same to
Mr.. Thornton. and he is to place the
press, type and material in the state
library at Salem. Mr.. Spalding, at the
Nez Perce agency in 1889 or 1910,
printed the first paper ever printed
this side of the Rocky mountains,
which was a translation of the Nez
Perce into the English language"
From the same history: "The press
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1904-10-19

was still at the agency at the time of
the whitman massacre in 1S47. Mr..
Spalding then moved it to willamette
valley, Ore, and the Rev. Griffin pub
ilshed a monthly periodical called the
American Unionist, the first periodical
paper ever published on the North
western coast. The press did many
years constant service. but was after
ward put aside, and has not been
used, although it is tolerably well pre-
served"
The Tribune's information is that
some of the logs and the old stone
fire place, forming part of the struc-
ture which was the home of the old
press and the home of the first print
ing office in the West, can still be seen
at Spalding, 12 miles from Lewiston.

LAS ANlMAs RIVER ON A TEAR
Damage May Reach Nearly = Million
Ooliars-Steam Whistles Arouse
People, Who Rush from Their
Homes in the Darkness.

Denver, Oct IA Trinidad dispatch
yesterday afternoon says: AS result
of continuous downpour Of rain, last
ing thirty-siX hours, the Las Animas
river, which runs through the center
Of the city, overtiowed its banks early
this morning and flooded the country
for miles on both sides above and be-
low Trinidad. The flood submerged
that portion of the city extending for
several blocks on either side Of the
river. and damaged property to the
extent of nearly 81 100000. When the
full extent of the Damage becomes
known it is thought that the total loss
will exceed that amount.
There was no cloudburst, but a
steady. continuous rain, and when the
flood came people were unpreDared for
1t. The first note of warning was
sounded at 2:30 this morning when re-
volver shots and the ringing of fire
bells aroused the people from their
beds, and lower Commercial street, on
the South Side, and Pine street, on
the North Side, were soon packed with
people. All the available steam
whistles in the city were blown, and
the entire population aroused. So far
as is known no lives were lost.
Floods in New Mexico have caused
a serious interruption of railway traf-
fic. particularly east and west of Santa
Fe out of Albuquerque. There are
several washouts near Santa Fe.
The flood cut off all communication
between the north and south sides of
the city, and as telephone communica-
tion was cut off also. it was daylight
this morning before the resident Of
either section knew what had hap
pened on the other side Of the stream.
Trinidad has had floods in years gone
by, and disastrous ones, too. but never
one of the magnitude and extent Of
the one this morning.
The heaviest sufferer is the Santa
Fe Railroad Company. which lost a
lot Of track. its handsome new depot
and the beautiful city park laid out
between the river and the depot. An
other big item is the loss to the city
in the destruction of all the large
bridges that spanned the river and the
washing out Of the water mains. which
left the main city without water.
The Denver & Rio Grande, Colorado
G Southern and Colorado & Wyoming
companies are heavy losers also. The
business houses for a block on Com
mercial street were flooded and more
! or less damage done. The heaviest
loser among the business firms was
sustained by the Colorado Supply Com
pany. This firm lost 100000 on goods
stored in the basement of its store.
While there have been numerous
rumors Of loss of life. no definite in
formation has been obtained of the
loss of single life. There were nu-
merous narrow escapes.

right. The Russian scouts have lost
touch with General Kuroki's main
army, which may give increasing i'm
portance to the fankng movement

erto has been regarded as a .eint for
the real turning movement to strike at
General kuropatkin's line OF communi-
cations from the east. It also may con

Cause Of Death Uncertain.

George l. Tuttle, do say upon our
oaths that death was caused by a
wound or injury on the left temple.
whether inflicted by blow from some
blunt instrument in the hands of some
person or persons unknown or
whether said wound or injury was
caused by fall. or in some other ac-
cidental way, this jury is unable to
determine"
such was the verdict of the coro-
ners jury in the now famous Tuttlc
mystery. The jury retired at 4 O'Clock
in The afternoon and after deliberatinE
over two hours arrived at the verdict
above. Their was no dissenting juror.
Foreman Henry w. Beiser, who pre-

that not man on the jury believed

JUDGE OVERS INJUNCTION
TO Protect Members Of the Western
Federation Of Miners.

Leadville. Colo, Oct AFTER
nearly 1000 cards had been issued by
the Leadville Mining District Associ-
alton. Judge Frank w. Overs arrived
in the city yesterday and issued an in
junction restraining further action
along this line.
The application for an injunction
was made by the president and secre-
tary OF the local miners union. The
defendants named comprise nearly ev-
cry mine owner and mine manager in
the camp
The complaint recites that the
western Federation of Miners is a
lawfully organized society which owns
property amounting to hundreds of
thousands OF dollars for mutual benefit
purposes: that 1t takes care of sick
and injured members and widows and
orphans OF members who are de-
ceased. 1t is further claimed that the
organization has always encouraged
obedience and respect for the laws of
the land
J After reciting the fact that a local
union exists In Lake county the
complaint states that certain mine
owners and operators have formed a
union for the purpose of unlawfully
crushing out of existence the miners
union. The federation. according to
the complaint. has never denied the
right of the mine owners to form a
union; but insists that mine operators
have no right to organize for the
crushing out of the miners union or
for the purpose Of driving the miners
out Of the federation, thereby causing
them to lose their property right and
fraternal benefits and privileges.
1t Is charged Ia the complaint that
notices are posted throughout the dis
trict, informing men that all members
OF the federation on or before October
1st must surrender their membership
IN the federation in order to hold their
positions
The purpose of this is alleged to be
to drive all the members of the
federation out of that organization. or,
by refusing them work, drive them
from the county A conspiracy is also
charged in "the preparation Of black
list Of those who refuse to surrender
their manhood and give up their rights
and privileges in the federation
The complaint further states that
there has been no trouble or disturb
ance in Lake county. but that if the
mine owners are allowed to proceed in
their course the unhappy and dis
tressing conflict between capital and
labor which has prevailed in other Sec
tions of the country will be precipi-
tated."
