valley resulting from the slide OF earth
that has fallen from the mountain side
and damned the waters OF Cache creek
IS growing increasingly serious.
II may be assumed that the slide In
question was in some way the result Of
the earthquare and II Is now found TO be
1000 fet wide and TO completely close tho
water course. Ever since the occurrence
the waters have been steadily pllng up
behind Il and II was found by measure
meute taken yesterday that depth or
100 feet had been reached.
II IL had been taken at the earlier stage
the dam might have been blown up with
dynamite and the waters released with
out any damage TO any locality. but II Is
too late 10 do this now as II would pre-
cpitate the food that is feared The dam
Is OF earth and debris and there is some
hope that it may absorb the water or cut
harmless quantities.
Should II give way 10 the pressure the
results will be very serious and a large
area of country will be flooded. The towns
in immediate danger are Capay with a
population OF something under 400: Rom
sey, with a population OF 200. and Guinda,
with population OF $50. all In Capay val

His only purpose in coming TO this
country" said Mr.. Fieldman. "is TO make
IL possible for you TO do your duty In
helping the Russian working class to
abolish the rule OF Car Nicholas III as
the American colonies abolished the rule
OF King George III in this land.
"Az the colonies abolished political
tyranny forever. so the Russian people de-
sire TO abolish czarism forever. Your
comrades in Russia are not only ready 10

received with frequent applause
Mrs. Raskin, a Providence woman
