Mckay creek is now on rampage
as result of the heavy downpour of
the past few days, and reports from
there this afternoon show that con-
siderable damage is being done. AT
the Outright place the water has
risen until 1t has reached the house,
which is located close to the river. AS
the place could not be communicated
with by phone, the neighbors believe
the family has moved out.
At other places on the creek the
water is also becoming perilously
close to the houses. At 2:30 water
was running around the barn at the
Isaacs place, and was said to be near
ing the house.
According to reports received by
phone from families living on Nc
Kay creek the water has been raising
rapidly all day, and this afternoon II
was said to be rising at the rate of Is
inches an hour. According to Mrs
L. NJ. LaDow. the water in the creek
Is now higher than she has ever
known 1t to be before. Much damage
is being done through gardens and
fields being washed out.
Reports from Birch creek are to the
effect that the creek is also running
high. At the home of Dave ingram
the water was running high, but the
creek was not as turbulent as Nc
Kay.
The Umatilla river has also riser
rapidly during the past IL hours. anC
the stream is now higher than it ha,
been at any previous time this win

Exciting Runaway Yesterday.

Another exciting runaway occurred
last evening when a team belonging
to Carney & Kennedy and hitched to
a manure wagon, dashed up Main
street at a 2:2o clip. The team be-
came frightened across the river and
ran down Jackson street and across
the bridge to Main. In front of Alex
ander's store they swerved to one side
and the tongue, which had slipped
from the neckyoke, struck against the
concrete curb. The team then ran on
to Alta street where the runaway was
finally stopped.

Equal Suffrage Constitutional
Amendment. Vote Yes or

There is little opposition to the equal
suffrage amendment outside of saloon
influence. The liquor dealers ana
brewers are fighting 1t because they
fear the women. If accorded the ballot
will restrict their business, enforce
the laws against them and make them
decent. There is no other reason for
the opposition of the saloons to the
women. The mothers of the young
men and boys who are ruined by these
evil influences will take immediate
steps to enforce the laws against the
sale of liquor to minors and for this
reason the saloons are fighting the
equal suffrage amendment.
The staunch citizenship of the state
is appealed to in this hour of supreme
need. The pioneer women of Oregon
have helped to make the state, but
have ever been denied voice in It's
councils. Will Oregon now turn q
deaf ear to their plea for recognition

Fifty Tourists Transfer.

Fifty homeseekers and tourists from
the east transferred from the main
line of the o. r, & N. last night and
this morning to the Spokane branch.
Most of them were destined for points
in the vicinity of Spokane. The Wa
verify beet district had attracted sev-
eral, the farming district of Palouse
claimed others and some were bound
for the timber district in the Occur
d'Alenes. Few of them ever read of
Umatiila county in the east and all
were anxious for information con-
cerning the county and its resources.
Most of them were men with families
and small capital.

A Valuable Agent.

The glycerine employed In DR.. Pierce's
medicines greatly enhances the medi-
cinal properties which 1t extracts and
holds In solution much better than alco-
hol would. 1t also possesses medicinal
properties Of its own, being a valuable
demulcent, nutritive, antiseptc and anti
ferment. II adds greatly TO the efficacy
OF the Black Cherry bark, Golden Seal
root, Stone root and Queens root, con-
tained in "Golden Medical Discovery" In
subduing chronic, or lingering coughs,
bronchial, throat and lung affections,
for all of which these agents are recon-
mended by standard medical authorities.
In all cases where there is wasting
away OF flesh, loss OF appetite, with
weak stomach, as in the early stages OF
consumption, there can be no doubt that
glycerine acts as valuable nutritive and
aids the Golden Seal root, Stone root,
Queens root and Black Cherrybark In
promoting digestion and building up the
hes and strength, controlling the cough
and bringing about healthy condition
OF the whole system. or course, IL must
not be expected to work miracles. 1t will

BOLD ANARCHIST PAPERS.
London Publications Regret Bomb Did
Not Kill Spanish Soyereigns.

There are five weeklies in London de-
voted to anarchism, all printed In Yiddish.
They are the Free Labor World, Workers
Friend, Striker, Age of Reason and New
Times. They all print today outrageous
articles upon the crime at Madrid, prais-
ing Morales, the assassin, and expressing
regret that the bomb did not destroy King
Alfonso and Queen Victoria. The follow
ing, taken from the Workers Friend, is a
sample OF the stuff allowed to be printed
In London:
1.-THE Madrid bomb had the effect of a
thunderbolt on the reactionary coterie
for 1t told them anew that we are not
standing any longer the tyranny of kings
The poor king the poor queen the
lovely young couple A bomb has spoiled
their marriage the loveliest period of their
lives Down with the murderers who
think but of blood and crime. Down with
the anarchists, who are the worst enemies
OF our social system It Is thus they howl
and cry and complain from every quarter
THE personality of the Spanish king
plays quite an important role In this az
fair. Alfonso had. for the perpetrator of
the crime, no other value than any other
capitalist and parasite. At the same Time
however, Alfonso Is the chief representa-
tive OF the Spanish inquisitorial govern
ment. and his social position IL the reason
why the plot was concocted against him"

In the Nein-Reyn0lds report on conditions

sioner Mcfarland has been making for
several days an investigation as to the
slaughter-house conditions In the District
Of Columbia. and has preliminary oral re-
ports from DIR. Woodward. the health off,
Ger, showing that the conditions are in
general good. DR.. Woodward yesterday
personally visited the abattoir at Benning.
where most OF the sIaughtering here abouts
Is done. and has had special reports made
orally by the veterinary surgeons, who
make the inspection of the slaughter
houses
He found the general conditions at the
Benning abattoir good as to cleanliness,
ventilation and methods of slaughtering.
! ana the appearance OF things confirmed
the favorable report made by the inspector.
Ihis inspector, a veterinary surgeon, ex-
amines the animals slaughtered at Ben
ning. and condemns diseased animals and
sees that they are not used for food. He
also inspects the animals and the slaugh-
tering at Loeffler's, on Brightwood avenue,
the only other large establishment In the
district OF Columbia. Most of the places
where killing Is done on small scale have
been abandoned since the abattoir at Ben
ming was established. but the few that re-
main are inspected by another veterinary
surgeon. who reports that they are well
conducted.
Across the River
A good deal of slaughtering for the Dis
tr1ct Is done outside of the District jurjs-
diction, at Rosslyn and Jackson City, Va,
just across the Potomac. In 1904 at the
instance of the health officer, the Commits
sioners invited the attention of the Secre-
tary of Agriculture to these slaughter
houses, suggesting that he station inspectors
at them, In view of the fact that the Dis
trict could not do SO, and that they were
DONG an interstate business. Under date
OF August "A, 1904. the Department of Agri-
culture replied that it regretted 1t could
not comply with the request because the
appropriation was not large enough to per
init the extension of the departments in
spectlon IN these and numerous other cases
In which application for inspection had been
made.
Further reports will be made by the
neath officer on the inspection of the

also to recommend any improvements in the
regulations that will tend to improve the
conditions. larger force of inspectors.
