Ting Startling Story.
AFTERMATH OF wednesdays BIG FLOOD
RUMoRS MILL CREEK WAS d.
VERIFIED TO GARRISON CREEK
AND YELLoWHAWk.

Gardeners and fruit growers living
along the Yellow Hawk and Garrison
creek have quietly started an investi-
cation of rumors current on the streets
yesterday afternoon that the levee,
separating Mill creek from the two
branch streams, near the Jap Scott
place, three miles east of the city,
was blown up with dynamite by UNI
known persons Wednesday in order to
turn a part of the flood waters in
Mill creek into the Yellow Hawk and
Garrison creek to save further dam
age to property along Mill creek in
the city limits.
Levee Went Out.
Hundreds of people who lined the
banks of Mill creek during the height
of the flood noticed about 10 o'clock in
the forenoon that the water was rap
idly receding although steady down.
pour of rain that had fallen for near
ly two days was still falling. Short
ly afterward residents along Garrison
creek and the Yellow Hawk, were
greatly alarmed by a sudden rise of
nearly two feet in these streams. A
report reached the city soon after that
the levee near the Jap Scott place had
gone out and that a large part of the
flood in Mill creek was flowing through
the break into these streams, and was
overlooking many garden and fruit
tracts south of the city.
Thought it Strange.
Prominent property owners along
the streams thought it strange that
the levee should go out and it is said
commenced a quiet investigation with
the result (" that they found
that it was dynamited. Res
idents in the Vicinity of the levee
claim, it is said, that they heard a
heavy explosion Wednesday morning
about 9 o'clock, but in the excitement
of saving their own property did not
investigate the cause and afterward
forgot the affair until rumors became
current that the levee had been blown
up.
Probe Matter to the Bottom.
Residents along Garrison creek and
the Yellow Hawk display considerable
reticence in discussing the affair, but it
is said that the matter will be probed
to the bottom. The break in the levee
resulted IN a large number of fruit
and garden tracts being overlooked
and heavily damaged which otherwise
would have escaped the flood.
Frenchtown Farmers Mad.
Farmers living near Frenchtown are
up in arms over the reported action-o of
ditch tenders cutting the Walla Walla
Irrigation company's canal. conveying
water to the Garcena district, in order
to relieve the ditch Of an immense flow
of flood water from the Walla Walla
river. Farmers in the city from that
vicinity yesterday afternoon say that
strip of country about three miles
in length and a half mile in width, be-
tween Frenciltown ana the state line
was devastated by water from the ca
nal. Farmers in the devastated dis
trict practically lost all their crops and
the damage will be large
