BIG FLOODS
IN WASHINGTON
Hundreds of Square Miles Under
Water

Tacoma, Wash, Nov. 15.-With
food area embracing approximately
9on square miles. northwestern Wash
ingtou is now facing a state Of affais
which unless the water subsidies soon,
will prove more disastrous than the
foods of four years ago and even now
the loss will run into hundreds of
thousands of dollars. Fed by con-
slant succession of heavy rains, al
most every creek, stream and river
in the northwest has within day and
night risen with that rapidity which
characterizes the waters of the coun
try Telegraph wires are down north
and east of Tacoma and no trains are
running except to Portland, and very
little information has been received
from the outside.
SEATTLE IS CUT OFF.
Scores of towns, including Seattle
have been for the lsat SO hours cut
off from all outside communication.
Bridges have been swept aside, rail-
road tracks washed out, telegraph
and telephone wires torn down and as
far as can be ascertained at least half
a dozen lives lost.
Darkness fell last night on scene
unparalleled in the history Of the
state. Watchers from the highlands,
looking across the rainswept lands,
saw nothing but an expanse of water
with here and there the tops Of sub
merged houses, in some Of which the
forms of water bound persons could
be seen signaling for help.
EARLY today the Northern Pacific
bridge across Stuck river went out
and soon after came the SUSPENSION OF
railroad traffic between Tacoma and
Seattle. Earlier in the day the Ia
coma Railroad & Power company
had found it impossible to maintain
its service on the interurban line OF
account of it's tracks being under
water in many places. This complete
ly tied up the transportation facili
ties between Tacoma and Seattle.
The Northern Pacific railroad has
given up attempting to run any trains
except those to Portland. 1t is able
to maintain this latter service, but
for how long this will continue is no

BRIDGES AND TRACKS GONE.
North Yakima, Wash, Nov. 10
Railway bridges and tracks are wash
ed out, farms inundated, mill booms
swept away, roads overhowed and
great damage done to irrigating and
power chanals and bitches by the
flood that preavils in this section,
the worst in the history of the Yaki-
ma valley. There is no means yet of
estimating the damage that has been
wrought, but it will amount to thous.
ands Of dollars.
Although no rain has fallen here
today the downpour in the mountains
still continues and it is expected that
the water in the rivers will reach a
still highr stage. A report from
Cleaulm this afternoon stated that
theae had been a raise there today of
% inches in the Yakima river; also
that water would be raised from Lake
Katchess. At this lake the Cascade
Canal company is building a dam.
Fears are entertained for the wings
that have recently been built unless
the water is released. The increased
flow should reach here early tomor-
row.
Railway traffic is demoralized on
account of the food. While no large
bridges are reported out between here
and the summit of the Cascades, some
of the smaller ones are gone and
numerous culverts are washed away
and many hundreds of feet of track
carried away in the vicinity of Eas.

CATSPAW COURT
WHAT JUDGE SAYS OF MAT
TER OF ISSUING COMPLAINTS
AGAINST PEOPLE LEAVING.

Judge 5. II. Derby q the District
Court announced this afternoon that
he would be very careful about issuing
complaints against men who We're
about to depart from the Territory, if
there were anything about the charges
that would indicate that the matter be-
longed more properly to a civil than to
a criminal action
The occasion for this decision was
the case of $. Mort who wanted a war
rant issued for Midizuti on a charge of
obtaining under false pretense. The
defendant is about to depart on the S.
S. Korea and if'he We're arrested on a
criminal charge it would probably re-
suit i'm his having to miss the boat and
delay his departure. The court said
this afternoon that before he would is
sue the complaint he would require a
statement of the facts, in writing, by
the attorney of the complainant.
while there is no desire on the part
of this court" said Judge Derby, Ito
refuse to issue all proper complaints,
the court does look propose to be used
where the cases mol.s properly belong
to the civil court me court has, of
course, to issue a warrant, where "a
statement of the charges are made in
writing, but l propose to exercise spe-
cial care i'm cases where people are go
ing away from the Territory, i'm order
that no injustice be done to either
side"

CEIVE CABLE NEWS OF SHIP
PING

The local branch of the San Francisco
Marine Exchange began receiving ca
BILE reports this afternoon This is
the first cable service that the local
branch has received since the great
catastrophe on April IS.
The local shipping interests have
been put to great trouble to secure re-
liable shipping information during the
temporary suspension of the Marine
Exchange service and the resumption
of business will be the case of the
greatest satisfaction. The cable news
will continue to come daily as in the
past.
The cable today told of the arrival of
the bark w. b. Flint at San Francisco
from Makaweli in 20 days, the ar
rival of the schooner o. NJ. Kellogg at

WAILUKU GETTING
CEMENT SIDEWALKS
PROPERTY OWNERS PAY HALF
THE COST AND THE COUNTY
THE OTHER HALF OF IT.

Dan Case, County Attorney of Maui
County, arrived by the Mauna Loa this
morning to attend to some land regis
tration business in the Land Court.
"Wailulu is progressing and i'm
proving very steadily" he says. I'VE
are now getting first class, six foot ce-
ment sidewalks, on the principal
streets. These sidewalks are built half
at County expense, and nalf at the eX-
pense of the property owners. The
way it is done is this: If all the prop
erty owners of a given line of frontage
want a sidewalk, they petition the
County Board, asking for a sidewalk
they want, and Offering to pay half the
cost for the sidewalk and the curbing,
not to exceed a certain price, which of
course is reasonable price. Then the
County Board takes the matter up, and
directs the County Attorney to make
the necessary contract and the County
Engineer to go ahead with the work.
"Of course, the County Board will
not do this work ia pieces 1t will not
join with property owners for a single
lot in a block or anything like that.
Where it joins i'm building a sidewalk
it wants that sidewalk to be continu-
Gus for long enough distance to make
it of some practical use Under this sys-
tenn, property owners do not petition
for useless improvements for they have
to pay for a part Of the Improvement
themselves. The payments by proper
ty owners are made monthly so that 1t
will not be hurdensome.
"In this way, we have now good side
walks on many of the principal streets,
extending from the post office, and soon

and much less does he work there.
The owner of the little place is at
once her own boss and bOssee.
Miss Condell generally has fifteen
acres in meadow, five in corn and five
in oats. She maintains a pasturage
for eleven head of COWS, and she
nlilks all that give milk She has now
two horses, as fine a team as one
would want to find on a farm, good
variety of poultry, a dog and three
cats. Her milk and cream is daily
shipped to the Chicago market. She
has several acres in fruit and garden

Miss Condell does all of this work,
day in and day out. She has brothers
and sisters, but they do not live near
her; some are in Kansas She says
that she rises at O'Clock, and her
bedtime is about O'Clock, depending
on whether she has any interesting
matter to read
She has been SO working about
twenty years. Today she looks to be
a woman of forty years of age, but
without any hesitancy she says she
is fifty-siX. She can harness a team

as a man.
