IN GRIP OF A FLOOD
Seattle Isolated and Several
Lives are Lost
THE YAKIMA VALLEY SUFFERS
Valley Made Into Lakes, Farms are
Ruined and Weakening of Dam
Threatens Great Peril.

A vast section of the Puget sound
, region is flooded.
Part of the Yakima valley is under
| water and worse disaster is threatened
| there.
The Clearwater river in northwest
ern Idaho is raging torrent and lum-
bermen are heavy losers.
Grangeville is without electric light.
Seattle is cut off from land com
munications and reports several lives
lost in that vicinity.
In the Puyallup valley the high
water, accumulated by high tides now
prevailing, has turned garden spot
into lake. with resultant loss of live
stock and other property.
Continued heavy rains in the re-
gions nam ed have swollen all streams
until the water overruns banks. Rail
roads are badly cut up and wire COM
munioation we'll nigh impossible.
Property losses probably will run into
the millions.
What the result will be when the
floods reach the Willamette valley
can only be oonjectured. II the
mighty Columbia cannot carly the
enormous load to the sea, and the
Willamette river is swollen, the high
tides will back up the smaller river
and inundation will be experienced
along the shores of the lower William
cite.
Scores Of towns, including Seattle,
have been cut off from all outside
communication. Bridges have been
swept aside, railroad tracks washed
out, telegraph and telephone wires
torn down andg as far as can be ascer-
tanned at least half dozen lives lost.
Darkness fell last night on scene
unparalleled in the history of the
state. Watchers from the highlands,
looking across the rain-swept lands,
saw nothing hut an expanse of water
with here and there the tops of sub
merged houses, in some of which the
forms of water bound persons could
be seen signalling for help.
Some attempted rescues were made,
but the mad rush of swollen waters,
carrying trees, snags, lumber and even
I houses, forced the resouers back again
and again.
In the Yakima valley railway
bridges and tracks are washed out.
farms inundated, mill booms swept
away, roads overfiowed and great dam
age done to irrigating and power
canals and bitches by the flood that
prevailed iD that section, the worst in
hte history of the Yakima valley.
There is no means yet of estimating
the damage that has been wrought,
but it will amount to thousands of
dollars.
The downpour in the mountains still
continues and it is expected that the
water in the rivers will reach a still
higher stage. A report from Clealum
stated that there had been a rise there

Clan Instinct to Work Together
For the Good of All.
Bees seldom vary in their habits
when honeymaking time comes around.
The places they choose for factories, IL
not the manufactured hives, are in
variably hollow trees Some Los An
geles bees, however, got up something
entirely new in the way of factory,
hut it didn't run even one season. They
made their hive in the big chimney of a
ipillionaire's mansion 1t was such a
convenient point to a world of honey
laden flowers. The hive was ready to
burst with sweetness when q cool day
came along, as cool days will in au-
tumn, and little fire was built in the
crate below the hive. The four and
twenty blackbirds baked in pie never
gave king and queen greater surprise
than this king and queen experienced,
and these millionaires have no desire to
see the land of milk and honey their

up the stream of honey that came.
pouring down the chimney. At first
the honey was mixed with SCOT, but 1t
came pouring down so fast and so CO.
piously that soon the chimney was
cleaned and the last of the honey was
clear and appetizing.
Bees are japanese In their ability as
acrobats, as well as In their clan In
stinct to work together for the good of
the whole. For instance, 1t has been,
noted by those who study the habits of
these busy gatherers of sweetness that
when a hive needs coating of wax a
number Of self elected citizens gorge
themselves with honey and hang in
chains or curtains, remaining in this
position for days. The quiet Is con-
d'icive to eXuding wax scales. A great
deal of honey is needed for the manu-
facture of wax, and when the need is
felt these suppliers realize in some oc.
cult way that by keeping still and CIV
ing the wax chance the end may be
accomplished more speedily than by
using the honey for energy and moving
about. Just why they hold hands while
working FOR the common veal is not
known New York Herald.

HARD ON THE PRINT SHOPS
Electric Power Shut Down Causes
Papers to Come Out Late.

In this section of the country where
for the most part machines are used in
type setting, electricity for power pur-
poses plays an interesting part. When
for any reason the power is shut of,
great inconvenience and loss of time,
to say nothing of the wear and tear on
temper, is the result in the print shop.
Such has been the case in many OF
the printing establishments this week.
This resulted from the flood OH
the Walla Walla river oyerfiowing
into the power house, causing the mn
chinery there to stop operations.
Walla Walla papers appeared be-
hind time and were made up with
baud composition in abbreviated form.
Pendleton papers were more fortunate,
the East Oregonian resorting to steam
power and the Tribune received cleo
trio power from the private plant of
w. s. Byers. In the Press Office not a
wheel was turned until yesterday af-
ternoon at 3 O'Clock. As a result the
paper is FIVE hours late. Hereafter
whether electric power is obtainable
or not, the Press will be out on time
for connections have been made with
gasoline engine which will furnish
power for the typesetting machine in
emergency cases.

A BONANZA FARM
Vincent Has $500 Acres On
Eureka Flat
LEASES A $500 ACRE TRACT
Under Normal Conditions Will
Have $4,000 Bushels
Worth 100000

Henry Vincent, one of the most ex-
tensive wheat growers in the Walla
Walla valley, has acquired the entire
equipment of farm machinery and live
stock owned by John Hoffman, to
gether with lease of bis $500 acre
ranch on Eureka fiat for six years,
with an option for ten. Mr.. Vincent
is owner of two sections of wheat land
near Starbuck, and has taken lease
on two sections adjoining the Hoffman
ranch, located in the most productive
sections of the Eureka Flat district
To a reporter Mr.. Vincent said: II
will farm nearly 1900 acres next sea-
son, 1900 acres of which will be seed
ed to turkey red and the balance in
the Eureka Flat district to bluestem.
The late rains have put soil, which
was getting very dry, in fine condition
for seeding, and we are rushing fall
seeding with all possible spsed to take
advantage Of every minute of the
ideal weather. !"
A normal yield will give Mr.. Vim
cent an output of 25 bushels to the
acre, or close to $4,000 bushels of
wheat, which, at the prevailing price
this year, would bring more than
300, 900.

CERTIFICATE CANCELLATION
Total of sS,1S072 Acres Affected by
Forged Applications.

The State Land Board has ordered
the cancellation of 326 certificates
based on forged applications for school
lands covering s8, 13O.72 acres. Rel
atiye to the matter Salem paper
says:
Payment ON the principle sums due
had been made to an aggregate of
45,78f.20. All of the forged appli-
cations had been acknowledged before
Henry 81. Turner, who was justice
of the peace in this city. The forged
applications cover period running
through the years 190O-f-2-3. Many
of the holders Of the certificates have
made all payments, except the final
one and all Of them are losers in vary

The Life of a Clam.

The CLAIMS body is completely en-.
shrouded in the mantle, except for two
openings, through one of which the foot
can be pushed out. The other is for the
siphon or what is commonly known as
the neck of the clam. In some respects
the clam may he better off than we are,
for he has little brain in his foot and
also gland for secretlng strong fibers.
With this he spins byssus by which
he can attach himself to whatever he
likes. He does not even have to search
for his food, but waits for 1t to come
to him. He makes a burrow in the
mud or sand, attaching himself to the
bottom by the byssus. Then he thrusts
bis siphon up through the mud and
water until it reaches the surface. The
siphon Is made up of two tubes, the
water flowing in through one and out
through the other. When the iniowing
current, laden with minute plants and
animals, reaches the gill chamber, some
Of these are slfted out and retained for
food, while the water and waste matter
flow out through the other tube.

to compare with him? To be dandy
three things were requisite, according

GROcERs ARE TO ORGANIZE
Propose to Form State Association
the First Of the Year.

The grocery dealers of Umatilla
county are interested in the move
ment which is on foot to organize a
state association, the purpose of which
is for The mutual benefit and protec-
tion of all grocers in business in Ore
gon. Regarding the matter Port
land paper says:
Already dealers fron many cities
have signiied their willingness to
join i'll the movement and it is thought
by Portland men that by January all
Of the following cities will be includ-
ed in the association: Albany, AS
toria, Ashland, Baker City. Corvallis,
Dallas, Eugene. Forest Grove, Grants
Pass, Heppner, Hood River, LaGrande,
McMinnville, Marshfield, Medford,
Oregon City Pendleton, Roseburg,
Salem, Sumpter and The Dalles.
Similar organizations have been
formed in neighboring states which
have resulted in much good to the
dealers and to the customers as we'll.
California, Washington Utah and Col
orado have strong associations and
have secured laws that have resulted
in general good. The objects of the
organization are many and diversified.
Some of the principal ones are to So
cure good pure food laws, better trade
conditions, mutual insurance and to
protect the members against men who
make practice of running up large
bills and skipping to other parts of the
state without paying them. list
of such men will be kept and for
warded to every member of the asso-
citation.

of 22 inches in the Yakima river; also
that water would be released from
Lake Katchess. At this lake the Gas.
cade Canal company is building a
dam. Fears are entertained for the
wings that have recently been built
unless the water is released. The in
creased flow should reach North Yak
ina early today.
Railway traffic is demoralized on
account of the food. While no large
bridges are reported out between
North Yakima and the summit of the
Cascades, some of the smaller ones are
gone and numerous culverts are
washed away and many hundreds of
feet of track carried away in the vi
cinity of Easton. There have been no
through trains and will probably te
none for three or four days. Tie
breaking of the large power canal has
oyerflowed the tracks of the Northern
Pacific.
The rains that have been falling
west of the Cascade range, coupled
With floods from the mountain SHOWS
melted by the chinook wind of the last
few days, have filled every mountain
stream to its bank tops, and in many
cases overfiowed them. The Northern
Pacific bridge over the Toutle river at
Olequa went out. About the same
time landslide moved down the wat
er-soaked mountainside at Dodson's
station, four miles west Of Bonneville,
and covered several hundred yards of
main line of the o. r. & N. shutting
off train operation.
Two overland trains of the 0. R. &
N. company due in Portland are slide
bound at Bonneville. Two Northern
Pacific through trains are also held
there.

Palmer Of Bath, Me-, who appeared
before the board seeking relief and
wanted bis money back. He holds
several of the cancelled certificates
and claimed to have everything in
vested in them. He will have to ap-
ply to the Legislature for relief, say
mem bers of the board.
When it is known that the order of
the cancellation has been made il is
thought likely many more will be
seeking a way to recover their invest
ments, but they will have no recourse
except through the Legislature.
Turner, who is resident of this
city and young lawyer, has figured
before in similar deals and was indict-
ed by the Marion county grand Jury
in the land fraud cases that have been
before the public for the past two
years. He became witness for the
state in the trial of those cases and
thereby secured dismissal of the in
dictment against him.

Pendleton Gamblers.

ODe OF the most sensational gambl-
ing cases that has come to light at
Pendleton in many months became
known yesterday when warrants were
sworn out for the arrest of Roy Stew
art and Sam Endicott, says the East
Oregonian. The former has been ar
rested and pleaded guilty, and was
fined $75 by Judge FiL1 Gerald. Up
to 8 O'Clock this afternoon Endicott
had not been located by the chief of
police. g. W. Biggers of La Grande,
is the complainant against the two
men, and according to his allegations
he was robbed of $400 by the two
men, and was in line to lose $1,000
more.
