#. M. Miles, general foreman
of the F. d. & M. V. railroad at
this point has been signally
honored by the Chamber of
Commerce of the city of Pitts
burg, Pa. The secretary of
that body wrote Mr.. Miles ask
ing him to formulate plans to
minimize the smoke nuisance
of locomotives in the smokiest
city in the union. Mr.. Miles
has been with the company for
over thirty years and his vast
experience enabled him to give
the secretary invaluable advice
in the premises. The Chamber
of Commerce was referred to
him by Emil Gerber, vice pres
ident and first assistant to the
president Of the American
Bridge Company, which is very
closely allied with the Amer
lean Steel Trust. Mr.. Miles
will doubtless &C. a handsome
offer from the city within the
near future, but we trust. he
will not leave Missouri Valley
for some years at least.

PAlOUSE COUNTRY
GETS GOOD SOAKING
Unprecedented Downpour of Rain
for the Mid-Winter
Season.

Not in years has the Palouse coun-
try been given such a thorough soak
ing as it has received the past week
the ground being full of water, and the
prospect for another big crop in 1907
is therefore made exceedingly bright.
The snow that fell week ago has all
melted under the influence of a mild
atmosphere and steady downpour of
rain, which continued the larger part
of the week.
Owing to the character of the Pa
louise soil formation, with its underly-
ing clay subsoil, this moisture is
stored in the ground as in a reservoir,
and is used by the growing crops as
needed, the crop thus being taken
through long periods of drought with
out injury, so that the Palouser is al
ways made glad by heavy winter pre-
cipitation.
The downpour raised the creeks and
rivers, however, till many bridges
were in danger, and numerous 'cuIverts
were washed out. The south Palouse
overhowed its banks in many places
around Pullman, the fiat between the
railway tracks being under water, and
considerable damage was done to grain
stored in the Puget Sound Co. $ ware
house, the water being two sacks high
over the warehouse floor. This grain
will probably be a total loss as it will
be impossible to get it out to make an
attempt at drying it.
The water also covered the yards of
the Potlatch Lumber company in the
north part of town, and only the
hardest kind of work Thursday night
saved two carloads of cement and lime
which the company had stored in its
warehouse.
Easements under the business blocks
were flooded. and pumps were worked
overtime to protect goods stored in
them. Trains were also delayed by
washouts, but with a cessation of the
rain, the rivers are falling, and the
danger point is passed.
