Floods ON Camas Prairie.


The heaviest rainstorm in the his
tory of Camas Prairie visited this part
of the country this afternoon and to-
night the rain continues but with
much less violence than during the
afternoon. Telephone communication
is destroyed in many parts of the
prairie. Reports from Stiles state
that Cottonwood creek and other
streams are filled to overflowing and
that the railroad track below Sites is
covered with water.
Parties arriving here tonight from
Nezperce state that they were caught
In a cloudburst at Long Hollow creek,
about four miles northwest of Grange
Vile, and were compelled to drive
their team to the sidehill to avoid
being swept away by the torrent.
They state that they had been in a
heavy storm for some time and as
they descended into the hollow they
perceived that an unusual amount of
water was running In the creek. A
moment later a wall of water sudden
ly swept down the canyon and they
were forced to urge their horses up
the steep embankment to avoid the
wave. Fences were swept away and
large holes were washed in the creek
bottom and roadway.-Grangevi

From Republic to Spokane.

II see nothing to prevent the COM
pletion of the survey Of the Spokane
& British Columbia line from Repub-
lie to Spokane within the next 20
days." said H. w. Warrington, chief
engineer of the road to the Spokes-
man Review.
The new line upon which Mr.. War
rington is working is 140 miles in
length, and when completed will give
Spokane direct connection with Grand
Forks, B. c., and the Canadian Pa
cific railway. The preliminary sur
vey of the route was completed some
time ago, and it has been definitely
located as far south as the conflu-
ence of the Spokane and the Colum-
bia rivers. All that remains now to
be done before actual construction
work may be begun is the locating of
the line from Spokane to that point.
A. w. Davis has charge of the crew
working on this end of the route.
