Breaking Banks May Cause Some
Immense Losses
BOTH BANKS ARE THREATENING
SHOULD ANOTHER FLOOD COME
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS
WILL BE LOST.

Floods of last month left the banks
Of Mill creek between the Jap" Scott
place and the Kennedy bridge, so low
that property owners residing in that
vicinity say that should another high
water come before the banks can be
bulkheaded or strengthened in some
way, there is serious danger of the
creek breaking through and destroy
ing thousands of dollars worth of
property.
According to property owners who
have examined the creek, the bank in
many places is less than three feet
in height. The soil is gravelly in ma
ture and in the event of heavy fresh
ct would easily cut away, allowing the
creek to form a new channel, which,
owing to the topography of that sec
ton, might lead through the residence
and business district of the city.
THE county attorney informed the
board of commissioners that the coun-
ty had no authority to bulkhead or
otherwise strengthen the banks of the
creek where it flows through private
property" said Commissioner Struth-
ers, yesterday. "The creek bank is
low in many places and during a
flood the water is likely to break
through at almost any place If re-
pairs are to be made it is in all like
lihood up to the property owners
themselves"

death of her husband was won by the

took the case away from the jury by
sustaining motion of Attorney E. j.

dismissed and judgement entered for
the defendant.
Mrs. Hunt sued for damages on
account of the negligence of the COM
pany in killing her husband in Pasco
on August 20, 1903, in the yards at
that place. Mr.. Hunt was a car in
spector for the W. & c. r. Ry., and
was killed by being run over by an
engine belonging to the Northern Pa
cific while on his way to duty about
3 o'clock in the morning.

Nineteen Cars Of Coal and
Wood Come Into City
COAL LPR|CE|s $3.50 Per TON
Local Transportation Managers
Deserve Credit for
Good Work

With the arrival of eight cars Of
coal and IL cars of wood within the
last few days, fuel dealers feel that
the situation will be relieved within
a short time. Five cars of coal are
being received by the Loney COM
pany today and will be ready for dis
tribution tomorrow. Part of this
amount is the relief coal which has
been promised by the Northern Pa
cific while the remainder has been Sc
cured by Lowney & Co. Starr Sher-
man of the company stated this morn
ing that the price would probably be
$3.50 per ton at the yard. Three cars
of coal which are ready for distribu-
tion have been received by the o. r.
& n. Co.
Through the efforts of R. Burns Of
the o. r. & n. dealers can now Sc
cure cars with which to carry wood
and a reasonable supply is now ex-
pected to be received. Since yester-
day afternoon II cars of wood have
arrived over the @. II. & N. Co.'S
lines, and it is believed that with the
dealers will be able to receive six
or eight cars per week.
In speaking of the coal situation,
Mr.. Sherman states that owing to the
many sources from which coal is
purchased it is almost impossible for
the dealers to determine the price un-
tribution. Some of the mines ask more
for their product than others and
there is no way of determining an
average price. Many of the towns in
the Big Bend country are suffering
more from the situation than Walla
Walla is as they are unable to Sc
cure any wood and consequently they
are Offering more at the mines for
coal. Walla Walla dealers must meet
this price in order to make purchases.
With the present moderation of the
weather, it will not require as much
fuel to supply the city as it did a
few days ago and some relief is
looked for from this source 1t is
the general opinion of the dealers that
the worst of the situation has
passed and from now on, Walla
Wala citizens will not suffer mate
rally from a lack of heat making
carbon.

thought that the situation was tenn
porarily relieved as there We're Two or
three carloads dropping in every day.
Besides four carloads of coal coming
over his road yesterday which would
be distributed among consumers here,
four carloads of wood came in from
Dayton. T
He could not prophesy concerning
the permanent situation but was in
clined to think that in case of a con-
tinued cold snap there would be con-
siderable suffering. That according to
reports the shortage extended all over
the west and that this meant
shortage Of the fuel itself rather than
of transportation facilities.
