FLOOD DISASTROUS
ON UPPER RIVER

Referring to the cessation of traffic
on the upper river connecting with
the portage, agent Eastwood, of the
Spencer line, said yesterday that the
recent floods had been the cause of
much grain being shipped over the O.
X. d NJ, which was intended for the
portage The sued / I. ise of the river
took every thing wlthln its reach and
the banks OF the upper Columbia
we're strewn with wreckage. A cor
respondent writing from WalluIa Sat
urday says:
"Ihis morning the writer accompa-
MED Captain Wrigley, in his lanuch,
Island Flyer, on tou" of inspection
up tho Columbia. For some two
miles the east shore was Uttered with
lumber, timbers, baled hay wreckage
OF all descriptions, much of which
came from the Wallula steamb boat
landing. There was rise of eight
feet during the first hour of the
storm. A strong wind from the west
added to the terror OF the sit' alton.
"Phe steamer Norma was moor cd
to the wharf at the end Of the railroad
spur. She was so battered up that
Captain Baughman was compelled to
take her to Ainswortn for repairs.
She did not get into commission un.
til several lays lateI. The wharf was
carried down stream and broke up on
the rapids. Many tons Of hay and
coal we're destroyed Three cars of
supplies for the North Bank contract
ors, one of groceries, we're at the
mercy of the waves, which completely
submerged them, damaging their con-
tents. The loss at this point is said
to be about $1,000. At camp No. 4,
opposite Wrigley island, raft con-
tanning 40, 600 feet of lumber broke
from its moorings. Captain Wrigley,
with the Island Flyer, attached line
and made the raft fast to the island,
but the angry waves caused the raft
to break up and the lumber all got
away.
Many careasaes of horses, cattle
and sheep, supposed to have fioated
down the Yakima river, passed down
toward the ocean. "

Repairing Road to Boat Landing.

Marshal Ganger, in charge of a
force of men, has been engaged for
the past few days in repairing the
load to the boat landing. Council
recently appropriated SO Tor this
purpose and contribr tions have been
received from the livery companies
and teamsters who have occasion to
drive over the road. 1t is also expect
ed that the steamboat companies win
contribute.
The road has been In bad shape for
long time and the steep ascent just
east Of the bi idge Is being cut down
and the dit put in the sag. The road
is already in much better condition
but members OF council think they
can induce the railroad company to
put enough of the dirt taken out OF
the cut which will be made at the east
end of the lew railroad bridge to
raise the grade four or five feet and
make much easier road for hauling.

lunar Athletics.

The ''man in the moon" must surely
regard with amused contempt our much
vaunted athletic records. A good ter
restrial athlete could cover about 12C
feet on the moon in running broad
jump, while leaping over the barn
would be a very commonplace feat. He
would find no difficulty In carrying sir
times as much and running six times
as fast as he could on earth, all because
the moon attracts bodies with but one
sixth of the force of the earth.

Two Alarms But No Fire.

During the past week two alarms of
fire have been turned in, aud in both
instances there was nothing doing
The fist one was occasioned by the
smoke from tinsmith's furnace
which was being used to repair the
roof of Grams store. Somebody
yelled fire, an alarm was turned in
and the fire apparatus arrived in less
time than 1t takes to tell it.
Wednesday another alarm was given
for fire in the chimney of the resi-
dence of W. II. Chipping 1t was of
no consequence, but the firemen re-
sponded promptly being able to move
the new apparatus very quickly.

CURLING A
GREAT RIVER

Ehe engineers who for many
months have been trying to bring
the Colorado river again under con-
troll have finally succeeded. They
have turned the river back into its
own channel, and 1t now flows I'm
its usual course to the gulf of Cal
If rnia instead OF pouring into the
Salton sink and wasting the lands
that had been reclaimed by irriga-
ton. The river, entirely abandoning
its old channel, had followed it's
iawless course northward destroying
mach property and threatening mil
lions Of dollars worth of fruit, farm
and grazing lands.
This arid region had been turned
to good account by an irrigation
system supplied with water taken
from the Colorado river. Unfortu-
nately, no control works had been
built at the head of the main chan
mel that tapped the river, and the
entrance into the canal until the
whole river poured into IL. The nat
ural river channel became dry, and
as the irrigation system could not
carry OFF the entire flood flow, there
was a great damage to the bitches
and crops, and n large lake was
formed, covering about $50 square
miles at the lowest part of the sink,
260 feet below sea elvel.
Nearly 5000 people had settled in
the basin OF the Imperial valley and
were raising excellent crops of barley
and alfalfa. They had opened many
stock farms and were raising the
. date palm; and the shipments OF
products from this verdant oasis
were said to exceed those of any 9th
er town in Southern California But
prosperity was checked by the un-
welcome floods, and the pioneers
have awaited anxiously the abate-
ment Of the evil
They are now thoroughly convin-
ced that too much water is n nui-
sance, and they will doubtless take
good care in future to keep this de-
sirable commodity duly harnessed
and under control.-New York Sun.

THIS Is NOT GRAFT.

Dr.. Charles Edmund Hewitt is in

which of You by taking thought cam
add one cubit INTO his stature?" is
question contained in Christs sermon
ON the Mount which has generally
been regarded as unanswerable, says
the New York Tribune. The Hebrew
cnbit was equal to about twenty-five
inches, and the problem involved in
making such a gain as that was
enough to discourage any one. But
tHere are two men in Colorado to-day
who by taking thought have contrived
machine by which, they declare, a
gratifying number of inches may be
added to the height of any person who
will be satisfied with something less
tnan a foot. The originaters OF this
method are Professors David B. Crop,
former physical director OF the State
University of Colorado, and Fordyce
P. Cleaves of Denver.
