Portland, Ore, Nov. 15.-Never
since the white man came has the
state of Washington suffered from
such storm as ragged last night, and
early this morning. Railroads out of
Tacoma and Seattle are demoralized,
train service to Portland only from
the latter city being maintained. On
Puget Sound the towns of Snohomish,
Summer and Auburn are under water.
Although nothing has been heard
from Walla Walla, it is only fair to
presume that with floods east and
west of there the rivers in that part
of the state are still on a rampage.
AT Portland electric lights and street
cars are out of commission.
The railways across the state are

man McHugh compelling all street
railway companies to sprinkle be-
tween their rails and for eighteen
inches on each side, on certain streets

march across a continent driving slav-

TO this generation slavery h; a
dream, something shadowy and terrible,
4 hid in the miists of the past. To the

monster to be met and stayed in it's
invasion of northern homes and COM

Slavery no longer exists as an instltu-

and his proper place in the history, of

Ii strong candidate for the Nebraska
seliatorship, died as hi. had wished to
4 die, in harness. yesterday, in the build
ing his Industry and acumen had
made the most notable newspaper res
+ idence west of Chicago. Rosewater's
biography is that Of the successful
American life. He forced himself in
prominence and public influence as
other men have risen from low station
to prominence. He began as tele-
graph operator and died rich; power
ful and unhappy. His is the old story
over again OF forceful- man who sue
ceeded and whose ambition was
chilled only at the grave. He was
{ ambitious indefatisable, successful,
/ disappointed. These words might be
I the epitaph Of too many self made
men.
Mr.. Rosewater was type of virility.
He desired and moved toward the full
filrnent Of his desires with systematic
and unfaltering pertinacity. He was
capable, and in politics not inclined TO
quarrel with the means whereby sue
/ cess might be attained, The Bees all

Control of politics was the desideratum
\ never forgotten, and the newspaper
that should have been the greatest
force on moral questions affecting the
city of Omaha and the general public
was too often silent where 1t should
have been loud and too often opposed
to what 1t should have supported.
Rosewater and the Bee were synonom-
Gus in Omaha and Nebraska. They
began with the city and the state and
grew with their growth. He was the
greatest editor, it the dominant news
paper Of the plains. The opportunity
OF leadership was never neglected. 1t
