HIGH TIDE
At Aberdeen

H0quiam, Jan. 5.-The highest
tide in many years, caused by a
heavy southeast gale that swept the
harbor for the past II hours has
flooded the residence portion of the
city, and it is from two to three
feet under water. The Northern
Pacific track is damaged and a por-
tion of the grade is carried away by
the waves.
The diking system throughout the
city has been damaged to great
extent, tides completely submerging
the dixie and carrying a portion of
it away.
The city is in darkness owing to
the light plants not being able to
run. Board streets and private walks
are carried far out of line by the ac-
tion of the water.

OF PARCELS POST
Congressman Jones Gives His Views
ON the Question. FavOrS Rural
Delivery Post Urged by Post
master General Never.

The Daily World will give con-
siderable space for the balance of
the week to the discussion of the
Parcels Post. The World will he
glad to receive communications from
its subscribers in reference to this
important movement. The discus
sion of the parcels post all over the
United States is the result of the rec
ommendation made by Postmaster
ieueral Meyer, that Congress enact
legislation establishing parcels post
Il, connection with the United States
r.ail service.
This recommendation has called
forth much comment throughout the
United States. The majority of the
country newspapers throughout the
country have announced that they
were opposed to such a plan. Post
master General Meyer recommends
the enactment of a 11-pound rural
delivery parcels post, with the re-
striction that the parcels must orig
mate on the route. Thus eleven
pounds may be mailed at Wenatchee
for delivery at any point on any
route originating from Wenatchee.

COMPLETED, BUT
NOT PRESENTED

Washington, Jan. 7.-Senator Aldrich's
bill authorizing the Issue Of emergency
currency notes TO prevent financial strin-
gency is complete. and will be presented
70 the finance committee for considera-
tion and approval today The date OF its
introduction into the senate will depend
on the action of the committee, but il is
certain to be introduced before the end
OF tho week. perhaps this afternoon.
While the details OF the proposed meas
ure are being guarded from publicity by
be said that IL is drawn along the lines
heretofore indicated in Washington dis
patches.
The bill provides for an emergency is
sue not to exceed $250,O00,O O00 the notes
being taxa BILE at the rate of per cent
This tax IL imposed for the purpose or
compelling the retirement OF the notes
whenever the emergency which compels
the issue has passed
IL was believed by those who had TO do
with framing the bill that tax Of OF
per cent might have the effect OF pre-
venting banks from issuing emergency
currency and thus defeating the central
object OF the measure.
The securities which the bill authorizes
the treasury TO accept as collateral for
the issue of the emergency currency are
defined as bonds Of the standard re-
quired by the savings bank bylaws OF
Massachusetts, and New York.
A committee consisting OF the secretary
Of the treasury, the treasurer Of the
United States. and the comptroller OF
the currency is entrusted with authority
TO determine when the necessity exists
for the emergency notes and how and u
what amount they may be issued.
In the opinion OF the Trainers OF the
measure IL was better 10 place this au-
thority I'm the ha nds of such committee
instead OF In the hands of one official
only. To what extent tho machinery OF
the sub treasures OF the United States is
to be used TO carry out the purposes OF
the proposed law has not been disclosed.
but II is understood there is provision
In this connection.
The currency notes To be authorized by

and national bank notes.
II Is the intent OF the bill TO give 10
these notes as far as possible the same
force strength and legality as United
states and national bank notes.
