PREPARING FOR TAFT'S INAUGURATION.

Washington, Jan. 5.-Just two
months from yesterday the national
capital will be the scene of the most
imposing inaugural ceremony in the
nations history.
In the expenditure of money, time.
and energy the preparations for the
induction into office of President-elect
William Howard Taft will exceed any
thing ever before attempted in Wash
ngton. No inaugural committee in
the past has made such rapid pro-
gress in so short a time as has the
present organization.
Hardly had the committee been an
nounced when It became known that
more than $4,000 in subscriptions
toward the inaugural fund had been
received. This too, was before any
formal call had been made.
D. w Martin, chairman of the sub
committee on railroad terminal fa-
cilities. has opened offices in the east
wing of the Union station, and there
members Of his committee may be
found working diligently over the
problems Of caring for the thousands
of visitors who will come to WASH
ington to attend the inaugural cere-
monies.
Chairman Cuno Rudolph, of the
fireworks committee, promises many
new features in the pyrotechnic dis
play. He has two sites in view for
the setting off of hundreds Of gil
gantic bombs, roman candles, rockets
and other fireworks.
Frederick Owen. an architect, and
chairman of a committee of citizens
which has the beautifying of parks
and buildings in view. has planned a
novel scheme. He suggests that half
OF the appropriation for fireworks be
put into illuminated floats emblemat-
ic Of the various states.
"These floats" said Mr.. Owen,
will be made to represent shields OF
the several states Each float is to
be manned by young women dressed
in costumes emblematic of the differ
ent commonwealth. The floats Will
form in line and parads from the
Capitol to the White House"
Mai. Sylvester is planning how to
handle the crowds expected on the
dav Of fetes In order TO allow the
inaugural parade, which is expected
TO be larger than ever this year, to
have clear way over the line Of
march. the chief will issue this order:
"At $3.50 a m. the running Of street
cars viii be cut off from Pennsylvania
avenue at First street east and
Twenty-fourth street west. Cars
which may be within these points at
the above-named hours will be per-
rnitted 10 pass east and west beyond

(spec!al Correspondence.O }

Milton, Jan. 5,-Work on the half
mile levy on the west bank of the
Walla Walla river east of Milton was
completed Saturday In all there have
been more than 200 large plllngs
driven at intervals short enough to
form a breastwork against which any
flood which Milton has known in the
past would be powerless to go
through
Huge planks have been fastened to
the pilings from the bed of the river
to a sufficinet height to catch any
floating timbers or other obstruc-
items which may come down the river
Ir time of high water there Is always
a large amount of brush, trees and
other floating materials which come
down the Walla Walla and wher
ever they are caught by the bank or
any protruding object a small dam Is
formed and oftentimes the entire
course OF the river is changed so that
much property Is damaged and in a
few instances houses have been
moved.
With the completion of the half
mile levy one OF the greatest banks
OF protection against danger from
high waters to Milton. has been es-
tabllshed that has ever been con-
structed along the river, and It in
sures residents OF Milton against any
harm from floods or spring freshets.
For this purpose n crew OF men
have been employed with the pile
driver since the middle of November.
Little bad weather has interviewed to
prevent continued operations on the
levy and 1t has been finished In
plenty of time to prevent any Of the
probable early spring floods.
b. A. Nelson who has been In
charge of the work said today that
as soon as spring opens up more
river work will be contemplated and
It is thought that by next fall there
will be little If any of the river bank
adjacent to this city, which Is not
fully protected by the heavy bulwark
which has just been completed.
