Railroads Suffer.

AS is usual during the flood conditions,
the railroads are numbered among the
principal sufferers. The worst of these is
the Oregon railroad and navigation--Unon
Pacific system-which has not been able
to send A train through for the past
thirty-six hours This road is blocked
principally by heavy landslides east and
west of Pendleton.
Train service in the neighborhood of
Walla Walla and from Lewiston north Is
at a standstill
The Northern Pacific and Great North
ern are almost entirely out of the flood
districts. though the Northern Pacific suf-
fered to some extent from slides in the
western part of Washington.
The prospects today are that conditions
throughout the three states will be worse
instead of better. According to the last
forecast a new storm which made its ap
pearance off Vancouver Island Sunday
is now moving across the Pa cific
northwest and will cause general rains
throughout the district.

GERMAN SCHOOL PRECAUTIONS.
Good Building Construction and Fire
Drills.

BERLIN, March 5.-Ludwig Hoffman,,
an architect who has gained much promi-
nence in the designing of schools, was in
terviewed here today concerning the
Cleveland catastrophe. He declared that
a similar occurrence was virtually impos-
sible In Germany.
German school buildings are of the most
solid construction, with fireproof floors
and ceilings. Some of them accommo-
date 1000 children, and in the event of
fire there is every provision for the es-
cape of the scholars. There are wide dou-
BILE and sometimes triple stairways lead
ing down from the class rooms, and the
children are drilled regularly to march
down stairs calmly when the fire alarm
Is sounded and form on the playground.
where they are taught to await the arrival
of the firemen under whose direction they
proceed to the streets in order not to in
terfere with the work of putting out the
flames.
The newspapers publish full accounts of
the Cleveland disaster.

ASK FOR $5oO,ooo.
Desired to Have Good Representation
in the Toxic Exposition.

The House committee on arts and expo
sitions today decided to report favorably
"a bill appropriating 100000 for the par
ticipation of the United States in the in
ternational exposition at Toxic. Japan,
in 1912.
When Japan first formulated the plan
for the exposition. it comprehe nded
simply national show. Since that time
invitations have been accepted by prac-
tically all of the European countries to
participate. For that reason the appro-
priation of $350.O00. provided for in the
bill which has just passed the Senate is
regarded by State Department officials as
inadequate from every point of view for
the proper representation of the United
States government at the exposition. -
