North Yakima, Wash, to j. B. Rob
inson of this city, the former writes:
eve are having great floods in this
country, and not train in or out
for five days. We have had trains
east, but none west, and we don't
expect to have until the repairs are
made, which will require at least
two weeks. Miles and miles of the
roadbed between Ellensburg and the
Cascade tunnel were washed away,
and over 200 feet of the tunnel was
caved in and on the west side Of the

Springfield Advance: Of all the
virtues to be admired in a young
man that of honesty ranks foremost
in the estimation of The Advance.
The writer makes this statement be-
cause a shining example of unstinted
honesty was brought to our atten-
ton yesterday morning when Henry

) this office and handed the writer a
) sum of money together with a mem
| orandum book which he said he had
: found on the road on his way to
t town. The sum of money is large
: enough to excite temptation of
: keeping it and saying no more about
it, but the young man in question
. had no such thot and in an unassum-
/ ing way he turned his find over to
: The Advance in hopes that a notice
in this paper would find the rightful
: owner.

then cut it out and paste it in their
hats. Reports from the Canadian
plains indicate that a number OF
Minnesotians who sold fertile farms
:, in this state and settled in the
British northwest would gladly re
turn could they dispose of their
: holdings for even one-fourth of the
sum which they invested The arid
treeless plains of Canada, while per

abound. Then again there is The

of the claims and the nearest rail
