OLD SOL BREAKS
ANOTHER RECORD
HOTTEST MARCH 3 IN HISTORY
OF LOCAL BUREAU
Overcoats and Furs Are Not at All in
Favor-5Ig Rush for Shady
Side of Downtown
Streets

There was a decided slump in the
Los Angeles sleigh market yesterday
when the thermometer again scared to
Sc degrees and broke the local records
for March 3. Overcoats and furs We're
suddenly decreed to be unfashionable
by polite people, and the entire popu-
lace Joined in the denunciation and
supported the boycott.
The government weather bureau in
the Central building has been busy for
the past two days. Both have been
bargain days, and the officials have
had difficult time in distributing the
usual supply. 1--WE much prefer to
have the weather come in sections than
all at once" said one of the weather
men yesterday, but once in a while we
get a large package that must be dis
posed of in some manner. We shall
no doubt experience a lull after this
rush"
What are your forecasts for the
next several hours? Is it probable that
there will be any snow?"
1T is very improbable that there
will be any snow for Los Angeles and
vicinity. At least we have received
the bill of lading for nothing of the
kind"
Merchants on the shady side of the
street did all of the business yesterday.
OF course both sides of the street We're
shady during the day, but there We're
no exciting transactions negotiated on
the sunny side until the sunny side be-
came shady / destf1ans "froze" to

SIX MEN HURT
IN EXPLOSION
TWO POLICEMEN SEVERELY
BURNED AT FIRE
Officers Endeavor to Save Valuable
Papers When Flames Are
Communicated to Gaso-
line Tank

Lieutenant A. w. Murray Of the
University police sub-station, and Pa
trolman d. c. Parish were seriously
burned last night and four other per-
sons injured as the result of an ex-
plosion OF gasoline tanks, following
fire which destroyed three stores at
Santa Barbara and Halldale streets.
Those injured besides Lieut.. Murray
and Patrolman Parish were, e. w. De-
Witt, owner of the block destroyed and
proprietor of grocery store; Sergeant
Walter Woods of the University sta
ton; Patrolmen Schaeffer and Patrol
man Wallace.
Fully fifteen others were shaken up
and bruised when the explosion nap
pened Lieut.. Murray was burned ,Os,
about the face and hands, his hair
being almost entirely singed from his
head.
Patrolman Parish was the most Sc
riously injured his face and neck be-
ing badly burned and 1t is believed ne
will be SCARED for life.
The injured men were standing near
the rear of the Dewitt grocery store
during the start of the fire, when II
was found that valuable papers We're
in the office. A number of the Uni
versity patrolmen, under the lead OF
Lieutenant Murray, volunteered TO save
the papers and were entering the rear
door of the store when an explosion
occurred.
lieutenant Murray was thrown a
distance of fifteen feet and Patrolmah
Parish was picked up fifty feet away,
showing the force Of the tongue or
flame which followed the explosion.
An ambulance was summoned and
Murray and Parish taken to the re-
ceiying hospital. 1t is thought that
Parish may lose his eyesight as the
result of the burns. and Murray IS
minus his stock of curly hair.
E. w. Dewitt was caught in the ex-
nlosion and treated at his nome. He
was seriously burned while assisting
his son in removing valuables from the
grocery store.
Owing to lack of water the fire de-
stroyed the entire block, entailing dam
age estimated at $4,000 The stores
destroyed were the grocery place of r.
w. Dewitt. the hardware store of j:
%. Jeans and the meat market operated
hv the firm of Attention & Walter.
Dewitt, who owned the block, esti-
mated his loss at $4,000. Jeans loss was
estimated at $4,000, and Attention &
Walter placed their loss at $4,000.
The origin of the fire is not known,
a blaze being discovered in the Dewitt
store shortly before IL o'clock last
night. There are no water hydrants
in the vicinity and the block was an
easy prey to the flames. Mr.. Dewitt
warned the spectators that there was
gasoline in his store, and just before
the explosion Sergt. Woods took 90
gallon can of the explosive from the
building.

RIVERS RISING
IN WASHINGTON
VAST INLAND SEA FORMED IN
LOWLANDS
Gradual Approach Of Flood Prevents
Loss of Life; Farmers Forced
to Take Refuge in Upper
Stories of Their Homes
[Associated Press1

SEATTLE, March 3.-Most of the
flowed their banks today and the water
continues to rise, high temperature
melting the mountain snow. The
weather forecast is for warm weather
throughout the state Of Washington
and light rain on Puget sound.
All the lowlands between Seattle and
Tacoma are submerged, making an in
land sea miles in extent. The lines of
the White, Black and Duwanish rivers
ate lost in the smooth sea that covers
the land. The flood came so gradually
that no loss of life or cattle occurred.
Vast Inland Sea Formed
Thu ground has been like a soaked
sponge for more than a week and de-
pressions were already -llled with sur
face water when the swollen streams
slowly Tapped over their banks. Cur
rents formed through the already in
undated country when the rivers
broke from their channels, and the
water crawled up, inch by inch, until
the valleys were vast seas linked to-
gether.
Many farmers have moved into the
upper stories of their houses and go
about their business in boats.
In Lewis county and along the Che
halls river all the way to Grays har-
Dor similar conditions prevail
The Northern Pacific is having
trouble in keeping it's line open on the
west slope of the Cascades, Green river
being a raging torrent. The Northern
Pacific does not speak hopefully of the
prospect of maintaining the service to
Portland The rainfall has been very
heavy in Cedar River valley, threaten
ing to cut off Seattle's water supply.
The Milwaukee railroad, which by
turning the course of Cedar river en-
dangered the city aqueduct, is making
hard fight to control the river.
CoIfax Fuel Famine Relieved 4
The fuel famine at Colfax was re-
lieVed today in a slight degree by the
gift of a carload of coal to the city
by Superintendent M. ]. Buckley of
the Oregon Railroad q Navigation
company, who was in Colfax superin-
tending repairs to his road.
The fuel is delivered in small guam
titles to those to whom it is an abso-
lutte necessity.
In response to a message from May
or Lippitt of Colfax, Mayor Pratt Of
Spokane shipped a carload of pro-
visions to Colfax, but it is stalled be-
yond Tekoa by washouts and it is not
known when 1t VIII get there.
Superintendent Buckley has a big re-
pair gang at work and hopes the line
can be cleared by morning.
In the meantime the people of Gar
field have sent part of a carload of
provisions to ColfaX.
There are estimated to be 400 per-
sons in Colfax dependent ON the hos
pitality of the residents of the town.
These include transients and persons
whose own homes have been destroyed
or who have been diven out by high
watr. The mayor has had sworn in
many special police who are patroling
every section OF the town.
People are not permitted on the
streets after nightfall, unless they can
give a good reason.
