WORST STORM IN YEARS
Streams About MarysviIe Reach High
Water Mark
2v Assoc;-ted Press.

By Associated Press.
MARYVILLE, Jan. 1S.-The present
storm is the worst in years. All streams
were swollen almost to high water
marks during the day. All but the
Yuba are falling tonight. This river
has passed the high water mark this
evening and is still rising.
Railroad communication with Oro-
vile is cut off on account of the water
covering the tracks across Simmerly
slough to the depth of eighteen inches.
The train from the south was stalled
this afternoon on the south side Of
Yuba river by an overflow caused by
two levees forming funnel. The pas
sengerS walked around the wagon road
to reach town. Communication with
San Francisco via Woodland is cut off
by water in Sutter basin.
Heavy rains fell all day in the noun
tains. amounting to six inches in some
places, but the absence of snow will
probably prevent the rivers from over
flowing.

The first mass meeting In the in

in the Ebell club auditorium. In spite
of the rain there were about 100 en-
thusiastic men and women present.
When the Fine Arts Building as
sociation of New York met eighteen
years ago 400 invitations were sent out
and there We're fourteen people at the
meeting. The Metropolitan art gallery
is the outgrowth of that little meet
ing.
No invitations were issued for yester
days meeting and consequently the
leaders of the movement are hopeful
Mrs. w. II. Housh, president of the
association, presided and gave talk
in which she set forth the object of the
association and told of her hopes for
a series of galleries which will some
Gay be the greatest in America.
Bishop Joseph II. Johnson gave
strong encouragement to the move
ment, declaring that the women can
do no better thing for the city than
to establish such an art gallery.

President j. r. Millspaush of the
Normal school spoke of the art gallery
as an educational factor.
Joseph Scott discussed the art gallery
from a legal standpoint and aroused
much discussion by stating that spe-

be passed allowing the association TO

that the collection of money and plans
for a building be made as rapidly as
possible so that there will be no delay
when such a bill Is passed.
In answer to a question as to whether
the gallery will probably be built, Mr..
Scott declared with a laugh that there

The Bureau of Agriculture.

Secretary Wilson computes that it
would require an investment of $780,
100000 at two per cent to produce
revenues enough to run the depart
ment of agriculture for one year.
This shows what is being done for the
farmer. The income to the depart
ment, including forest reserves and
public printing, is little more than
Sll, 100000 year.
When the new meat inspection law,
the work of discriminating the cattle
fever tick and the gypsy and brown
tailed moth, and the investigation OF
dry land farming have been put in
operation the department will have a
payroll of over 5000 persons. About
half of these are scientists trained
along special lines. The average
salary is less than 5000 year.
Over 12,000,0 900 pieces of literature
are circulated each year and this
amount will be greatly increased as
new lines of investigation are. begun.
One of the new lines provided for
this year is grain inspection, and this
promises to be one of the largest fields
of scientific labor.

Road Obstruction.

Travel on the Elk River and Prince
ton road was obstructed for a couple
of days last week owing to disagree
ment between Mr.. A. B. Damon and
the supervisors of the town of Bald
win. Mr.. Damon claims that the
supervisors arbitrarily changed the
location of the road several years
ago, and he dug a ditch across the
highway last Friday, effectively pre-
venting travel. On Saturday the
town authorities bridged the ditch and
the road was once more passable,
but the end is not yet. The old road
has been travelled for more than fifty
years. The Union is not prepared
to say who is to blame. Mr.. Damon
has rights that ought to be respected,
but the travelling public also has
rights. It seems as if matters could
be amicably adjusted without much
trouble. This important highway
should be legally and definitely To-
Gated without unnecessary delay.

Bird Calls.

Most of our. song birds have three
notes expressive of love, alarm and
fellowship, says John Burroughs in
Country Life in America. The latter
call seems to keep them in touch with
one anoher. might perhaps add to
this list the scream of distress which
most birds utter when caught by a
cat or .hawk-the voice of uncontrolled
terror and pain which is nearly the
same in all species-dissonant and
piercing. The other notes and calls
are characteristic, but this last is the
simple speech of common terrified ma
ture. Keep the nerves strong with
golden grain belt beer and you will
not be easily frightened. Serve it
regularly with your meals and you
will notice a gain in strength and
vigor. Order of your nearest dealer
or be supplied by Henry Veidt,

Boys Leave St. Paul July 22 for Six DAYS
Tramp Over Country Roads.
On Saturday, July q, the boys of
Company G, M. N. G., will leave
Princeton for St. Paul, and on the
following morning will depart for
Lake City, their destination, where
they will 60 into camp. The Journey
from st. Paul to Lake View camp will
be accomplished by means of that
good old style of travel known as
"hiking." To perform this task will
require six days, and at this time of
the year a tramp of that duration is
harder on the physical structure than
saving wood. But, our boys are
tough and elastic and we do not ex-
pect to find one of them fall by the
wayside. Capt. Caley's exercises
have muscularized them until they
have become veritable punches of
thong. At Lake View they will devote
four days to rifle practice and other
contests of skill.

countrymen have long trusted and
Mr.. Bryan, arising amid laughter,
replied:
''The temptation to make political
speech is strong within me. I have
not had chance to do so for ten
months. However, I will restrain
myself. With reference to the am
bassador's remarks on gold, wish to
say that when I see the progress my
country has made walking on one leg
I wonder what it would have done
walking on two legs. 1t is pleasing
to testify that the ambassador not
only has fought me but that he has
done it we'll. No American rejoices
more than I that he is 5000 miles
from his base. While abroad I have
met many good republicans-holding
office I only wish there were
enough Offices abroad to take all the
out of the country.'

Marks Midsummer Sale.

A big crowd gathered at Marks
horse sale on Saturday and the
animals offered were, if possible, of a
better grade generally than those sold
at previous sales. Some splendidly
matched teams were disposed OF and a
large number of single horses suita-
BILE for draft, driving and saddling.
In addition to the horses much mis-
cel!aneous property changed hands,
including farm machinery and i'm
plements of varied description. It is
a well-known fact that no other man
has ever induced so large number OF
people to gather at an auction in
Princeton as Emmett Mark.
