Commend Teaching system.

New York, Nov. 15.-After two days
inspection, the English teachers who
came here to study United States meth
DDS of education have discovered several
good ideas which they intend to sug-
gest to the authorities in England
They like our system of medical inspec-
tion, our law which requires children
between the ages of IA and Is years to
attend evening schools if they work in
the daytime, our discipline, which they
all describe as easy" and certain
features of our kindergarten work.
More teachers will arrive this week.

White, Stuck and Green Rivers
Drive Farmers From Homes.
SMALLER TOWNS UNDER WATER
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
Railroads Tied Up-Three
Lives Are Lost.

Seattle, Nov. 15.-Floods in the
White, Stuck and Green rivers, which
began Tuesday night, have swept away
miles of railroad trackage, inundated
all the valley towns, rendered hundreds
of farmers homeless and cost three lives
up to date. Until the Western Union
last night succeeded in getting wire
off from the outside world by either
railroad or telegraph lines The tele-
phone company kept up two lines, but
this was the only means of communica-
tion Seattle has had.
The three men lost in the floods were
drowned while fighting to break up log
jams that threatened railroad and coun-
ty bridges.
1t will be two weeks before the
Northern Pacific is able to resume reg
ular train operations. The Great
Northern is tied up for a shorter per-
iod, for trouble on that road is due to
an avalanche of mud that swept out
portion of track.
Auburn, Kent, O'Brien, Renton,
Oriellia and half dozen smaller towns
in the valleys of three rivers are under
water. Residents of O'Brien were
compelled to abandon their homes and
flee to the hills. At Kent raging tor
rent is running through the town and
Auburn will suffer extensive damages
unless the waters recede Immediately.
The so employees of the Denny Rem
ton Clay works plant at Renton were
cut off by the flood and had to remain
cooped up in the warehouse until they
could be rescued by boats.

The REASON WHY
Bourne Should Not
Be Elected u.
S. Senator

The New Age has said before and Il
now says again that it does not be-
Ieve that the next legislature will
elect j. Bourne, Jr., to the United
States senate. 1t has been said that
our opposition to Mr.. Bourne is in
spired by prejudice, and that we can
give no good reason for opposing him
since he was regularly named by the
republican voters for the office.
We opposed Mr.. Bourne during the
primaries for the reason that we knew
him to be unfit for the high office to
""AAu TIC doPlTSos
First-That he is not a loyal and

second-That he is a traitor and

Third-That he could not be depend

republican he would not have deserted
his party in the hour Of its dire dis
tress, when the blight Of Organism and
populisn overshadowed the country in
1906. But as true and Ioyal repub-
liean would have put self aside and
rendered whatever service he could
for his party and his republican
friends. If 5ourne's will had prevailed
and Bryan had been elected who can
say that there would have been today
a strong, inVincibIe republican party
IN Oregon to honor him for his perfidy.
The legislative session of 1895 was
the most spectacular in the history of

MUCH DAMAGE REPORTED.
Floods in Oregon and Washington
Destroy Homes and Bridges.


Castle Rock, Wash, Nov. 16. - The
CoWlltz river has become raging tor
rent carrying houses, barns, logs and
other drift down in the food. Many
FAMILIES are homeless and have savep
put lew belongings from their ruined
homes and are temporarily quartered
with friends on higher ground. The
Northern Pacific bridge across the Cow
lltz at Olequa is washed out.
The town of Castle Rock is in state
Of chaos. Electric lights are out be-
cause Of the food. The town marshal
has closed the saloons to add to the
public safety. The people are meeting
the situation in philosophic way and
are not becoming panic stricken.
North Yakima, Wash, Nov. 16.-
Alter falling slightly the Yakima and
Naches rivers are again rising and the
damage to property of all kinds is
growing worse. All communication
With the outside by rail is cut off.
Every county bridge in the valley is
under water and the city is isolated
rom the surrounding country.
The fears of the people are that the
sNaches river may change its course and
come down the old river bed to the
west Of the city. If this happens the
damage will be inestimable, as the
best fruit orchards and some of the fin
est homes in the valley lie direct in its
course
\ Wenatchee, Wash, Nov. 16.-The
Hood still RACES unabated. Added to
the destruction by the rain and water,
nc wind is blowing. The damage done.
by the flood between Cashmere and
Wenatehee, in the Wenatchee valley,
cannot be estimated at the present
time, but it will be heavy. The We
natchee and the Columbia rivers are
higher than they have ever been before.
The former is eight inches higher than
its former record.
Portland, Nov. 16.-streams through
out the state which have been swollen
by the recent rain storms and the Chi
nook wind ID the mountains are thought
to have reached their highest point.
Some have commenced to fall and the
Willamette VAS stationary, last night.
1t is probable that the river at Port

cept along the lower Columbia, the
danger from high water is thought to
be over in Oregon.

The last of the week J. ii. Speors,

the Civil war broke out, but soon
made his way north to his home and
organized a regiment for service ON
the Union side OF the controversy.
Soon after be began actual service he
was promoted to captaincy. After
the close Of the war he left for the
west and during the past forty years
has followed prospecting. He came
to Salmon some sixteen years ago,

ReutIinser-Hisdon.

The Church of the Holy Name at
Henderson was the scene of much
interest on Tuesday morning last,
when the marriage of Miss jose
phine Reutlinger and Mr.. Joseph
Higdon was solemnized, the rite of
solemn nuptial high mass being
used in the ceremony. This is only
the third wedding of this kind that
has been celebrated IN this church,
and it is always mark of the high
est esteem, and IN this case was
given to Miss Reutlinger as a re-
ward for faithful church services,
her sweet voice having been a
prominent feature of the church
music for many years.
The Rev. E. ]. Lynch was assisted
by Fathers MCFARLAND, of this place,
and Connolly, of Henderson, whose
handsome vestments added to the
splendor of the mass.
The BRIDES gown was a handsom me
combination of lace and net over
silk, and she wore the regulation
veil and orange blossoms. During

the espousal, the sweet melody of
"Oh Promise Me" was played softly,
MISS Ellen Whalen, of Darlington,
presiding at the organ.
The musical part of the mass was
composed by the Rev. Alphonsus
Coenen, and was sung by choir
from Darlington composed of Misses
Katie and Maggie Whalen, sopra-
nos Miss Gertie Cavaness, alto /;
Mr.. ]. t. Coenen, TENOR. and Mr.. j.
ID. O'Brien, bass, whose voices
blended in perfect harmony in the
Kyrie Eleisou-the PRAYER Lord
Have Mercy Upon U.s." Mr.. O'Brien
was laboring under a severe cold,
but his splendid bass voice ably
sustained the heavier parts of the
mass, and was heard to good effec
in the Sauctus-Holy, Holy, Holy
Lord God of Sabbaoth.
The out of town guests were Mrs.
Rooney, of Chicago; mother of the
groom, Mesdames Harry Comstock
and W. H. Barnes, of Neogo, ILL
