FUEL FOR WALLA WALLA.
Twenty-Five Carloads of Wood and
Four OF Coal Cause Rejoicing.

Walla Walla, Dec. TWENTY-FIVE
cars of wood and coal and four cars
of coal have been received over the
o. r. & n. lines since Saturday and
it is believed the fuel situation will be
greatly relieved, for a time at least.
The wood was received from Blue
Mountain points, while two cars of
coal were received from Rock Springs
and two from Spokane.
Many of the local dealers who have
been purchasing wood at Blue noun
tain points have been disappointed
in their purchase lately. One instance
has been related where Walla Walla
dealer had bought and paid for wood
at the rate of SO per cord.
After the wood had been loaded on
the car another dealer offered the
original owner IS per cord which
was promptly accepted, and the pur-
chase price either refunded to the
first purchaser or he was afterwards
given an opportunity to pay an ad-
vance of 50.

COLORADO RIVER

and FARMING hrc In Jeopardy.

Yuma, Az, Dec. 1.-THE awful
scourge of the uncontrolled Colorado
river is again raging at Imperial val
ley and tearing away the barriers be-
tween them. The entire current OF
the river is again flowing almost un-
restricted through entirely new chan
nels into Imperial valley, and the
Coachella valley is doomed. though
the process Of its obiteration will be
slow until the waters reach a higher
general level by the filling up of I'M
perial valley to the high water mark
reached during the past summer.
What is known as the. Hind dam
was thrown across the channel form
led last summer, and an earth dixie
was built up parallel to the river for
10 miles, mainly I'm Mexico. on the
ernment dixie. Three days ago water
found its way through both dikes,
flooding large areas. This was
thought to be serious. but was not
considered critical until last night,
when the water developed distinct
channel, and this morning disclosed
the fact that the entire river had
found its way around the Hind dam
into the channel from which 1t was
just barred. The dam itself is un-
injured.
The new movement involves again
moving the main line of the Southern
Pacific to higher ground unless the
water can be brought under control.
A thousand people in Salton basin
must lose their homes. including a
quarter of million acres of farm
ing lands the Southern Pacific must
build 200 miles OF new main line. and
irrigation about Yuma must be aban-
doned. The government laguna dam
irrigation project may become an i'm
possibility. At conservative esti-
mate not less than s25,000,000 of
present values are at stake upon the
success of the efforts to close the
break.

Church and Clergy Rebellious.

Paris, Dec. 1.-THE new law pro-
Vlding for the separation of church
and state came into effect today an j
never in the history of the country,
since the great revolution, have more
drastic changes been made. The
church and clergy are rebellious, the
vatican points the finger of scorn to
France, and Europe generally looks
OF the sequestration as marking an
epoch in the worlds history.
Under the new law the churches will
remain open for public worship as
provided by the law of the assembly
of 1881, but the change not only af-
fects France but the Roman Catholics
all over the world, as the movement
has been made to strike at the foun-
dation of the religion. FiPhty-four
bishops, two cardinals and upwards of
220C priests under the law of today
are unprovided for.
Cardinal Lecot, archbishop Of Ror-
deauX has issued an appeal to the
faithful not to join false Catholics
and bad priests in the formation of
associations to take over the church
property" In an epistle supposed to
be inspired from the vatican, he warns
all French Catholics that they will
lose the right to confess and receive
the sacrament If they take part in
the movement.
The cardinal archbishop of Rouen
today issued proclamation condemn
ing the action of the government and
an appeal to the Roman Catholics of
the world points out the attempt to
undermine the faith. His manifesto
winds up with the words. "Those who
help the movement VIII not only die
in state of sin, but the obligation will
rest upon their posterity SO long as
the memory of the robbers remains -

FOR "a DAYS, CLAUDE BARKER
LIVED ON AIR AND NOUN
TAIN SCENERY.
First Meal of Popcorn and Canned To-
matoes-Lost Fifty Pounds in
Month.

SALEM, Or, Jan. 17.-With popcorn
and canned tomatoes Claude Barker,
the young Quaker of this city, finally
broke his fast of "a days duration.
Just as he claimed to be led by the
Lord to abstain from eating, so he
says, the Lord told MIN to eat and
what to eat. He claims not to have
suffered any undue pangs of hunger
during the time he abstained from the
use of food and says he enjoyed his
first nourishment no more than he
would nave enjoyed his midday meal
before beginning the fast and having
three meals a day regularly.
Aside from the fact that he lost so
pounds in weight by his long abstin-
ence, ne does not seem to have suf-
fered greatly. He took daily exercise
and never failed to walk to town and
back from his rooming place, which is
about two miles out, and on the second
of January he walked out to Rosedale
and back which is a distance of II
miles. His mental activity did not
seem to have been impaired, and he
says that he never received SO much
inspiration from a study of the Bible
as he did while fasting He has always
been of a deeply religious nature and
never missed a church service of any
kind and taught his Sunday school
class regularly.
Barker is bright, intelligent young
man and was graduated from the
Westman Qndiana) academy at the
head of his class. Up to the time of
beginning his fast he was working for
the Oregon Nursery company of this
city, having gone to work for that com
pany soon after coming to Oregon from
his Indiana home a few months ago.
He did not seek notoriety in connection
with his freakish conduct, but On the
other hand seemed very reticent and
only spoke about it when questioned.
To questions, however, he gave frank
answers. and there is no doubt but that
