TO SETTLE FIGHT.
CODE TO VISIT CITY IN
AHTANUM WATER MATTER
Believed He Will Settle Permanently
Dispute Between the Indians
and Whites.

1t is believed the matter of water
rights so long disputed between IN
dian and white man who each claim
ownership OF Ahtanum creek will be
settled next week when high depart
ment official Code will visit North
Yakima for a conference which il is
now declared will settle forever the
much mooted question.
The government threatened to
bring suit in benalf of tne Indians
over the contested point II is al
legged that by riparian rights the red
men are owners of the waters from
the creek and that long ago they
were ceded by treaty that privilege
which gives them opportunity to fish
in the waters and as a result of white
mans intervention have lost that
right. Coming as it did after long
litigations among the white men
themselves this seemed something
like the last straw and many Alta
mum ranchers were almost discour-
aged over the prospect. They are
now jubilant, however. over tho
prospective visit of Code, which
promises a speedy and permanent
settlement.

FINEST STRUCTURE OF
ITS KIND IN WORLD.
LOSS IS S25O,oOO
Used In Operating Great Power
Plants at the Helena and
Butte Mines.

HELENA, April Without
warning the great dam at Hauser
lake, on the Missouri river. / 8 miles
north of this city, partially gave way
shortly before 3 O'Clock this after
noon, causing damage estimated at
s250,000. No lives were lost and at
8 o'clock tonight so far as can be
learned no serious damage had been
caused by the volume of water, esti-
mated at about 25 feet, which was
precipitated into the channel below
the structure. Narrowness of the
river and its winding course has i'm
peded the progress OF the water and
no great loss of property is reported
from towns north ofthis city.
The Hauser dam, which was one
of the finest structures of its kind in
the world, was completed last year
at cost of more than 100000
and developed $4,000 horse power,
which was utilized in operating vari-
Gus power plants in Helena and
Butter mines and Amalgamated
smelters at Anaconda.
The break will not interfere with
the operation of the mines and other
plants, as power is being furnished
tonight from Canyon Ferry dam and
the company's substations in Butte.
The dam was 400 feet long and 10
feet high and was constructed Of
masonery and steel. The construc-

20 miles square.
The break in the structure oc-
CURED shortly before O'Clock and
was caused, according to General
Manager Gerry, "By the buckling of
steel plates near the.lower expansion
joint About $50 feet of the dam
was destroyed, leaving about 125
feet at either end of the structure.
After the first break was noticed it
was nearly . minutes before the
center of the structure gave away
with terrific crash. Five dwellings,
occupied by employees, office build
ing and stable were washed away and
deposited with steel and immense
timbers of the dam along the sides
of the creek. For a few minutes
after the first break the power house
and many small dwellings along the
river near the dam were flooded, but
later in the afternoon water receded
and buildings were found to be in
tact

YAKIMA FRUIT LITTLE DAMAGED
Backward Spring Delays Growth Of
Starting Buds.

This has been an early spring, but
a backward one, and it has not been
until this week that growing weather
has come to the Yakima valley. The
nights have been cold all along. The
warm sunshine of the daytime start
ed the fruit buds. and the cold nights
have retarded the growth, if not dam
aged them. There is still some con-
tention as to the amount of damage
done by frost, but as usual it appears
that it is less than was thought
Fruit trees have made rapid devel-
opment in the way of budding, and
the foliage and grass have grown
more the past week than all the pre-
vious time this spring, and are now
hsowing green.
