Especial to The Herald

Boise, Ida, May 2S.-The late spring
spells floods in southern Idaho to those
who have made a practice of watching
such things from year TO year. Last
winter the snowfall was heavier than
usual. While there are no official meas
urements, it is stated by people living
in the South idaho mountains that the
fall was a third heavier than for many
years past. Comparatively little of this
snow has melted. The few days of warm
weather in the mountains only served
to pack it more solid. It has been cold

was twice as high as the American

Il assert that this report was I'm the

They knew about it. Yet, when we
asked about these wages, the senator

railroad firemen's strike occurred to-
night. A moving freight train at Lith-

the race issue doomed up more sharply
than before.
A negro fireman was apparently the
cause of the trouble, and he was rushed
to Atlanta on an engine to save him
from a mob. The train was stoned and
they boarded by men who set the
brakes and broke it into three sections.
The train in that condition blocked
the main line and the progress of the
mails. The railroad officials declared
tonight that the incident was the work
of strike sympathizers.
