FLOOD SITUATION.

Little Rock, May 2S During the afternoon the Arkansas river is expected to reach the flood stage here and it is expected to go but only an inch or two over the 23 feet. Director Alciatore, of the Weather Bureau, is of the opinion the river will cease to rise here when the flood stage is reached and that down the riv- CT points need not expect that point to be reached: "The river at Fort Smith has reached 27 feet above flood stage" said District Director Alciatore this morning, and is now falling at that point, I expect the river here to go to 23 feet and come to a stand. It may go an inch or so higher. but will hardly eX- ceed that. At this stage there will be practically little damage done. The river is a tricky pro- position though and no one knows exactly what it is going to do Take Wednesday and Thursday1S record of the river at Dardanelle for instance. The river at Dar- danelle between 1 pm. Wednes- day and 2 p,mt Thursday rose only one foot and then by 1 Ol- clock in the afternoon, without drop of rainfall in the Arkansas river basis or without any ap- parent cause for the increase of the rise, went up another foots It rose as much in six hours as it had the IS hours previous, and | the rise, all things considered, should have been much greater at the start when the river was | low and the banks not so widef If the river only gets to the | flood stage here, it will do Nit tie damage down the river from heret It will at that. stage, flood the islands. the low lands lbee tween the banks and the levees and the lowlands which are not protected by levees.

NIPOUNDS OWN TEAM

+. 7. Mobiles, Well-known lumber
man of Bellingham, is today in the
woods to avoid the friends VINO want
to ask him about a little feat he
pulled off yesterday.
The firm bought a team of horses
Saturday and sent an employ to find
pasture for them over Sunday. He
located Mobiles pasture, where his
fine blooded mixers are kept, and
turned in the horses. Noble dis
covered the animals and wrathfully
led them off to the pound, knowing
nothing OF the firms buy or that the
horses were one-third his property.
He later learned of the true state
of affairs, bought box of cigars and
went to the woods until such time
as his friends shall forget the Incl
dent. Before going to the tall uncut
he bailed out the horses and restor-
ed them to the green pastures.

ELEPHANT STOPS TRAIN
Pulls Signal Which, Halts Fourteen
Passenger Coaches at 3 A. Nj.

Taking hold of the bell rore ON the
North Coast Limited train, Mike, .
an elephant which spent last week in
Tacoma, gave the signal which
brought the big train of fourteen
coaches to a dead stop this side of
Napayine at 3 a. m. this morning.
For a few moments following the
stop wave of excitement passed over
the train crew and passengers. The
spot was a lonely portion of the road,
and as the mystery for the order to
stop could not be run down, fear
ran through many that an attempt
was on to loot the train. rhe mo-
ment the train stopped a brakeman
leaped off with a lantern which he
planted several hundred feet behind
the train, while Conductor Young
stormed from coach to coach to find
out what was wrong. Engineer
Payne and the tiremen both declared
three sharp, preemptory pulls of the
UGAl lOp0 udu DCGu IHdu0.
Finally, while nervous passengers
were seeing visions of riding robbers
sweeping down upon the train from
the dark landscape, three additional
jerks We're given to the bell rope,
and then Engineer Payne demanded
an explanation. IL was then that the
baggageman excitedly leaped to the
gre und, yelling:
Boys, its this elephant. He's
been twidling with the rope for miles
back, but didn't think he had sense
enough to give the signals. But he
just now grabbed the rope with his
trunk and yanked it to beat the
band"
1t then developed that there were
three elephants in the baggage car.
The owner of the trio had taught
Mike" trick Of pulling a string
which shot off a CUR.
Mike saw the rope swinging, .
said the owner, in explaining, and
suppose he thought he would do a lit
tie rehearsing."
Conductor Young expressed his
sentiments in forcible Anglo Saxon to
the keeper of the animals, who pro-
missed to Wa,~-- mem until the train
arrived at Portland.
Its all right for elephants and
rhinos to stop trains down in Africa, F."
Engineer Payne declared today, but
this is an enlightened, Christian
country. No Northern Pacific train
has ever before been stopped by an
elephant"

FARM LABORER'S UNION
Walla Walla Union Says That Efforts
To Form One Are Being Made
There Now

Quiet efforts are being made by
gitators in Walla Walla to form a
"Harvesters' Trust" among the work
ingmen who are on the streets wait
ing for farm ers to appear with the
offer Of job.
This scheme is worked here once
a year, and never has it been sue
cesstul, SO the farmers are paying no
attention to the men who are trying
to work up this sentiment. Too
many nIen arrive looking for work,
and the union" usually does rot
outlast the first three days of har-
vesting.
The first signs that such a move
was contemplated again this year
were noticed when a tall, hard-work-
ing appearing individual LtoFed down
the line talking with the prospective
narvesters.
Last year crew working near
Prescott struck for higher wages and
the owner of the machine let them
strike, filling his crew in short
time after reaching the city. The
farmers also formed a company and
ran their own employment bureau,
in this assisting in disrupting the
union "
The organizer" today evidently
met with little encouragement, for
according to the police he soon be-
came tired and left.

wounded Ed Bertrand, proprietor of

that Bertrand was drunk and pro-

occurred 20 miles south of Chehalis,
and Bertrand can remember nothing
of the affair. The doctors say that
the wound in Bertrand's stomach will
prove fatal.

sired to fight 1t, and, besides, mum
Der of the members of the council
were opposed to making the farmers
pay license to come here to dispose

suit was that the whole ordinance
