THREATENS A FLOOD TO REVOKE LICRNSB
Railroad So Constructs Bridge
as to Endanger Buildings.
Piles Are Placed DiagonaiIy Across
Channel Of River, Catching
DriftWoOd and Rubbish.

Complaint has been made Of the man
ner ia which the piling for the new bridge
built BY the 0. r. & N. railway company
for its ", across the South Palouse is
placed. TO all appearances the Obiec-
tions to the placing Of the bridge piles
and supports are we'll taken.
The bridge is built diagOnally across
the river in carrying out the line Of sur
vey for the new tracks. This has neces-
STATED the driving Of the piles in dag
onal lines across the river which has re-
suited in almost closing the channel BY
the timbers.
The bridge is placed at the end Of one
curve or bend in the river and at the
beginning Of another. By sinking the
piles in a diagonal line they are brought
90 close together there is barely six feet
OF space left between them for the sweep
of the current.
Every one familiar with the South
Palouse and it's freakish ways when on
a rampage realizes that trouble will
result at the first fresbet in the spring
There is grave danger that the driftwood
and rubbish which il bound to be
stopped by the pling OF the bridge,
located as it is, will form q Jam against
the closely placed timbers and result in
backing up the water to overflow the
banks directly in the rear OF the business
section OF the city.
The damage that may result from such
overflow can be estimated from what
injury has been done to business blocks
in the past even when the channel was
clear.
The great danger is, that with the
drift wood and rubbish stopped by the
wrongly placed piles, will form dam
which will drive the water back into the
Easements, and possibly the floors oi
the Hotel Whitman and the business
blocks not protected BY the retaining
WALL
1t is matter which should receive
the early attention Of the authorities
and the mistake corrected befo re serious
damage is done. The narrow channel ie
not sufficient now to carry off ali the
water in the spring and the obstruction
OF the current should not be permitted
Notice should be given the railroad com
pany to 90 change the bridge supports
as to leave free channel for the spring
freshets or to give bonds to cover tht
damage that may result

ranks during dress-parade is a military INSIDE
neanor.
When the parade was dismissed and the men
broke ranks in the company streets there was wild
outburst. These EXPLANATIONS, highly seasoned with
profanity, mingled with excited conversations
shouted from one COmpanys street to another,
created uproar that made itself heard at the
feld-and-staf mess-table, causing the Adjutant to
appear apprehensve, and the Colonel to regard
the Adjutant TeproaChfully. The excitement con-
tinued during supper-tine, and so much longer
that the leader of the band young lieutenant who
knew something about music and had consented to
train the band for a few weeks stroed over to the
Adjutants hut to ask whether it was known at
headquarters that the entire camp was in uproar.
DO we know it :" shouted the Adjutant. Per
haps you imagine that we don't even know there's
a war;"
The band-master apologized, and the Adiutant
explained the situation. The first sergeants already
had reported that the Irishmen of their respective
companies had declared bluntly that they would
not turn out" for guard duty on St. Patric6s Day
not even if the commanding general of the army
the President himself desired it The band-master,
who good fellow, and usually sympathetic
when anyone in trouble, suddenly became so
untrue to himself to srne-almost to grin
and to assume air of superiority and condescen-
sion.
Don't worry, old chap" said he 1.-The Irish
will be all right in the morning, after I've got at
them"
Your" exclaimed the Adjutant. What have
you to do with it,"
More than any other man" replied the band
master, his grin becoming positively offensive.
You seem to forget that select and direct all music
played at guard-mount and on all other occasions.
If | don't soothe those malcontents before guard
mount IS over you may call me for box of
cgars-the suffers best"
And if you do" replied the Adjutant soulfully,
q honestly believe that the Colonel who IS pulling
out his mustache by the roots will put a bar
on your shoulder-strap soon as there is a
cancy"
Good I shall torment you to keep him in
mind of it."
About eight o'clock on the morning of St Pat
rick's Day in the camp of the Twin Counties Rifles,
one needed not to hear a word to distin-
guish the Irish members from their comrades, for
in every company few men, dressed little more
neatly than those about them, stood apart and
sulked or looked defantly. Suddenly a buge
sounded then the first sergeants appeared anxious,
and shouted
First call for guard Guard detail, fall I'M"
Some men turned away; others moved care
lesslv toward their quarters, if uncertain
whether they would get their arms and equip
ment But in an instant the manner of all the
indictments changed. for from the parade ground
came the sound OF the band playing St. Patrick's
Day in the Mornin'."
