ROCK ISLAND.
IN ENGLISH
CONTROL
MARKET SPO|LS DEAL
[By Associated Press. ]


New York. July 2S.-Although
Kuhn. Loeb < Company bankers.
made no official announcement today
regarding developments whereby
the holdings of syndicate in Rock
Island, Lehigh Valley and Missouri
Pacific stocks were taken over to pre-
vent further serious liquidation, the
company, in connection with English
interests headed by Sir Ernest Cassel,
has obtained the largest single hold
ing of Rock Island, both common and
preferred.
This block of Rock Island stock
carries the control of the property
and is accompanied by the Pearson
holdings in the Lehigh Valley. Wa
bash and Missouri Pacific roads.
The syndicate which went under
is said to have been made up of Can
adian and English operators, with
English connections, headed by DR..
r. S. Pearson, and had for its aim
the formation OF new transconti-
mental group The recent decline in
the market upset the plan and neces-
STATED a turning over of the stocks
which they had purchased.
Whether the transcontinental plan
will be carried out by the new CON
trollers of the Rock Island or whether
the new interests will assert their
power in altering the present man
agement still depends upon unsettled
factors. Certain banking interests
have looked upon the original Pear
son plan with favor, and it is not
unlikely that steps will be taken to
carry it out.

HOLE BLOWN IN MILL DAM
Supposed to be Work of Owner of
Endangered Property.

Coincident with high water troubles
brew in the north end OF Colfax over the
Colfax Milling Company's dam across
the North Palouse, which has been
bone of contention for many years. The
dam raises the water nearly to the level
of adjacent property and IN former
years, when logs for the sawmill then

Jam occurred, or there was an ice jam,
water was forced out OF the channel,
overfowing the land in question. This
Of the new owners OF the mill, who, de-
string to ascertain the facts, with the IN
tention of applying remedy, suggested
that q meeting Of interested citizens be
held to discuss the matter and appoint
committee to confer with the milling
company. Such meeting was held last
Saturday night and the committee ap
pointed, but few hours afterward, or
early Sunday morning, some one whose
identity is unknown took the matter
into his own hands and attempted to
blow out the dam by exploding a large
charge OF powder under the south end OF
it. A portion of the dam was blown
out, the damage being since repaired by
filling the opening with rock, enabling
the mill, which is run with water power,
to continue operations. Inasmuch as
the milling company was acting in good
faith. with the expressed intention OF en-
deavoring to remedy the condition com
planned of, it is matter of regret that
violent measnres were resorted to.

Local Movement Is Timely, and
Has Promise of Success.
The growing demand for Y. NJ. G. A.
building in Colfax is appreciated by our
citizens generally and a movement with
this object in view is assuming proper
tions which promises success. That the
local movement is timely as regards
present activities in the national associ-
alton ia proven in the following from
last Tuesdays Spokesman-Review:
with the arrival of John A. Goodell,
international secretary OF the Young
Mems Christian Association, in Spokane
Thursday the association movement in
the northwest will begin a new era of
activity. Through his efforts it is ex-
pected that the Y. NJ. @. A., now confined
in its workings to the larger cities, will
reach out into all of the smaller indus
trial and mining centers.
"Mr Goodell was given as his territory
Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon
and part Of Canada, field heretofore
unoccupied by a national organizing
officer He has made Spokane his head
quarters and will occupy Office room in
the local association building.
Though Mr.. Goodell's plan OF cam
paign is not fully known he will organ
ize associations in cities in each OF these
states where large number Of men are
employed. Among these will be one at
Kellogg, Idaho, to be largely for the en-
ployes OF the Bunker Hill and Sullivan
mine. The officers of this company
who are believers in the inancial gain to
be derived from a Well-managed mems
association, already have agreed to con.
struct and equip suitable building, to
farnish light and heat and pay the salary
OF the superintendent. 1t is possible
that associations will be formed in Wal
lace and other Coeur d Alene cities.
"The association movement has grown
tremendously in the last decade. The
managers of mills and mines are realiz-
ing that if they can furnish a place of
recreation and education for their en-
ployes which is free from dissipating
features, their men will be more compe-
tent. 1t is this realization that has
made Mr.. Goodell's work possible"
Both Mr.. Goodell and his wife are old
time friends OF Mrs. A. r. Brashear of
Colfax, and Mrs Goodell will be guest

FLOOD NOT SERIOUS HERE
Recent Improve ements a Success in
Controlling the Water.

The rain and thaw which began on
Tuesday of last week caused high water
IN all the neighboring streams and
climax was reached last Sunday when
all water courses ran bank full In Col
lax the good effects of street work done
during the past year was shown in the
manner in which the food waters were
carried off. There s still room for i'm
provement and the city council should
be inspired to further effort by the sue
cess OF work already done.
The water from the Almota grade,
which runs down Thorn street to Lake
and is there diverted to Cooper street
water shed, should be given a water way
OF it's own down Thorn street to Spring
fiat creek. The Cooper street culverts
have enough to do to take care Of the
flow down that street, and the excellent
improvement which the city made there
last year should not be endangered by
the extra water, which could so easily be
taken care of.
In the north end better arrangements
have also been made for the escape of
flood waters and the residents there have
little reason to fear a repetition OF last
years damaging inundation.
The 0. r. & n bridge on the connect
ing Y was injured last Sunday when the
ice jam moved, a result which nigh have

garded proper rules OF bridge building in

HALF A DAY WITHOUT WATER
Break in Main Drained Contents of
Reservoir Into River.

The reservoir was empty and the peo
pie of Colfax we're without water for six
or eight hours last Saturday. This con-
dition resulted from a break in the main,
the location of trouble being discovered
only after several hours search. It was
finally found where the pipe crosses the
South PaIouse river under the North
Main street bridge, short section OF the
pipe having been loosened and carried
away when the ice went out, allowing
the water to run untrammeled into the
river and emptying the reservoir in due
time. As soon as the trouble was
located the pipes in the part of the sys-
TEN near the break were closed and with
in short time the other parts OF the
city were supplied through another pipe
as the reservoir again filed from the
regular gravity source. About a dozen
families were deprived OF water for three
days as result of the break, being
finally served by the laying OF new
service line.
AS a precautionary measure against
fire, when it was discovered that the
water had failed the steam pumping
plant was put in commission, ready to
pump muddy river water into the system
direct if necessary. The broken main is
laid 10 the bed of the river and will be
repaired when the water falls.
