HIGH WATER IN wALLA WALLA
snow Melting on the Mountains
Causes Alarm.

City Engineer ]. b. Wilson, who is
at the headworks OF the pipe line on
upper Mill creek, telephoned to the
Union office yesterday evening that a
heavy rain storm was In progress in
the foothills and that It was showing
heavily farther back in the noun
tains, says the Walla Walla Union.
Mil creek he said, was rising rap
idly, and since yesterday morning had
increased in volume nearly n foot and
a half, with prospects of two feet
more before morning.
Work on the excavating, which
could have been completed within an
other five or six hours, will be de-
1ayed for some time, and should the
water become OF sufficient. volume,
nothing could prevent It from wash
ing out the flume and filling the hole
excavated with dirt and rocks.
For several days past three shifts
of workmen have been employed in
order to complete the work at the
earliest possible moment but accord
ing to Mr.. Wilson the work man have
to be, postponed for several weeks or
-.

Hicks Certain of Rescne.

Bakersfield, Dec. 2O.-The closing
hours of the long fight for life by
Miner Hicks are at hand. The res
cue party is at last where they can
communicate with the buried man,
and he is cheering them on to the
completion of the task with jocnlar
remarks
The rescue party is now directly
over the ore car under which Hicks
lies and at some time this afternoon
hope to have crossed and burrowed a
hole out of which they can lift the
man. 1t is expected some time will
be required, even after the ;niners
can lay their hands on Hicks, to
raise him without danger. The ut
most caution is taken to block and
timber so that no fall of earth or
fresh slide will cheat the rescuers at
the last moment.
Hicks has wagered the cigars with
his rescuers that they will not release
him before o'clock this evening. 81
hope to lose, boys" he shouted from
under the car, "but l think you will
all enjoy a smoke on Old Man Hicks
when we gather about the fire to-
night"
Hicks has been imprisoned under
the ore car 13 days. All the food he
has had has been liquids fed through
gas pipe forced to him.
There is every certainty except
proof that the six men overwhelmed
by the same cave-in, who were COM
panions of Hicks, but farther in the
mine, are dead.

CONTAGION AROUND ATHENA.
Several Cases of Scarlet Fever and
Diphthcrin.

Athena, Dec. 20.-A small sized
epidemic of scarlet fever is now on
here and last night the first death
occurred from the same when Ches-
ter Post passed away in spite of all
that could be done for him by the
physicians. The deceased was 16
years of age and was living at the
home of William Winship, where
there are two eases still remaining.
In the home of w. L. Douglas there
are also two cases of the fever, and
a like number in the home of Will
liam Russell
Aside from the above there is also
one case some distance out in the
country, the one i'll being Thomas
Defreece. There is also one case of
diphtheria at this time, the victim be-
ing Clarence Bunker, night miller at
the PrestonParton mill.
Schools Closed Today.
In oroer to prevent further spread
of the contagious diseases the public
schools of Athena We're closed today.
They will remain suspended until
after the holidays and longer If nec-
essary Other precautions are also
being taken, and 1t is the purpose of
the town people to stamp out both
the fever and diphtheria as soon as
possible.

Washington, Dec. 20.-Foraker at
the first chance this afternoon re-
sumed the fight for consideration OF
his resolution directing investigation
into the Brownsville affair. He criti-
cized the president and declared the
executive Pisconstrued his powers
and misconceived the testimony. He
took up each article of war and dis
cussed the situation as he considered
1t, at length.
The resolution went over until after
the holidays.
Foraker got excited and said he
wanted witnesses to testify under
oath before the senate committee.
Lodge said he did not think the
president, secretary of war and army
officers would reach a momentous
decision hurriedly. He said from
documents he held in his hand the
Twenty-Fifth regiment had "shot up''
four other towns previously.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1906-12-20

With the river rising as n result Of
the rains; with several feet of snow
in the mountains and warm weather
TO melt the same, there is a chance
that the city may be treated to an
other flood. Should It occur now II
would commemorate the famous high
water of 'S2, for II was upon Decem-
Der 90 that the flood of that year
occurred.
Thus far the condition Of the river
Is not regarded as at all serious. and
even should the water become much
higher the greater portion of the town
is well protected by the levee. even
though the work is not completed.
However. there is danger from back
water at the extreme lower end of
the wall. This forenoon the water
had risen enough to have covered a
portion of the low ground at the
lower end. But in order to protect
that section against backwater a force
of scrapers was put TO work this
morning throwing up temporary
bulkhead for several hundred feet be-
low the end of the levee. BY this
course 1t is possible to prevent flood
ing the lower end In case of q fur
ther rise. It was also necessary to do
this In order to protect the Newport
camps and tables against the water.
Should the camps be flooded the
contractors will give up their work on
the levee, so II is said, and this they
could easily do as their contract does
f,, aT 1t tuh
water.
During the day Councilmen Swear
ingen, Murphy and Thompson of the
levee committee have been frequent
visitors along the levee and they have
been watching the rise of the river
with some anxiety.
The water in the river has risen
until II is now running over the wing
dam that was used to keep the cur
rent away from the wall below the
LaDow place. This prevents the rip
rapping work from being carried on
satisfactorily and also means loss to
the city as the trench along the wall
will be filled up again. However,
the embankment is now practically
finished to a point below the old end
and II is regarded as a good protec-
ton against all excepting the back
water around the lower end. How
ever, the riprap work is far from be-
ing finished and in the case of real
high water strenuous measures would
probably be necessary in order to
keep the embankment from washing
away.
