Mr.. Hart, when news of the flood
first reached him, started at once for
Colfax, and on his return to Steptoe
telephoned to Rosalia confirmation
of the ruin of the town. Between 40
and SO houses had been swept away,
he said, and the main streets of the
town were filled with a swirling cur
rent from 8 to 5 feet deep. When
he reached Colfax the water was still
rising, and stood more than a foot
deep in the Oregon Railroad & Navi-
cation company's depot.
Relief expeditions were being Or
ganized at Thornton ana at Rosalia
last evening, and an effort was to be
made during the night to bring sue
cor to the homeless victims of the
flood. Wagon roads over the Pa
louise hills are in an almost impass-
able condition because of the rains
and melting SHOWS, and none of the
railroads running into the town are
able to operate because of washed out
tracks.

IF YOU CAN'T MAKE 1T IN ONE
"YUMP," MAKE 1T IN TWO! -
FRONT STEPS REMOVED FROM
SHANTY ROW.

The sufferance by the city for the
steps on Shanty Row was ended on
the first of March when the front
steps had TO go. Tuesday night the
city council voted to remove the
steps and Thursday the work of de-
molition started. The first to go were
those that led up to the Orondo pool
room, on Orondo avenue. They were
removed by the proprietor without
paTest, but the others were taken
out by t6ssity, and in some instances
the protests were pretty strong.
The council did not like to take
such drastic measures and have been,
considering the matter for long
time The buildings are unsightly
and a menace to the others. No d.
rect law could be applied to have
them removed from the fire limits,
and the councilmen, sworn to look
after the city's interests to the best
of their abilities, were in a quandary.
The plan that they adopted win no
doubt be successful anu the general
sentiment on the street is In favor
of the move. From one quarter
quite a protest has been raised and
free expressions of denunciation were
heard. The general sentiment, how
ever, was in favor of the act. 1t is
the intention of the council to refuse
all permits for improvements to the
shanties and that will prevent the

PLANNING CAMP At
LAKESIDE
REGULAR SOLDIERS MAY CAMP
NEAR HERE IF AMERICAN
LAKE APPROPRIATION BILL
FAILS.

1t is understood that plans are be-
ing made at Fort Wright to have the
infantry camp at Lakeside this sum-
mer if congress fails to make an ap-
preparation for maneuvers at Amer
lean lake, where they have trained
for several years and have served as
a sort of training school for the mill
tia, who gather there at the same
time.
AS there has been no appropriation
thus far the army officers Of Fort
Wright feel that the federal govern
ment will not make any for American
lake, and consequently they have been
planning for some time to camp at
Lakeside. Eight companies of the
Twenty-fifth infantry will make their
summers march and go into camp on
Lake Chelan.
The presence of the soldiers here
will doubtless serve as drawing
card to tourists and others.

SEX EQUALITY DE-
MAhDED
SERIES OF -FOUR SERMONS WILL
BE DELIVERED ON SUBJECT
BY DIR. STEVENSON OF THE
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

Rev. DR.. Stevenson, of the Presby-
terrain church, will begin a series of
four sermons next Sunday evening
on problems of sex equality" He
says:
Revolutions have been preceded
by periods of unrest but it is through
revolutions that civilization has been
advanced. 1t was through revolu-
ton or social movements equivalent
to revolutions that man gained his
rights of free speech and self gov
eminent. The condition of women
has been such that it should have
been revolutioniZed long ago. God
created them and gave them equal
control of the earth. In the Ian
guage Of st. Paul there is no differ
ence between man and woman. But
perhaps this equality should be stat
ed in terms of equivalency.
"Since this great question of wo-
mems rights has demanded so much
attention in Europe, particularly in
England, and since there are suffrag-
cites in all countries; the movement
has come to have great weight in
this country. The question is not,
Do women want to vote? but, Will
the civilization of the world be ad-
vanced If women should exercise the
right of suffrage? 1t is the eternal
rightness of the thing that must be
held in mind. When the slaves were
freed 1t was brought about by the
people who looked at the eternal
rightness of the thing"
The subjects of the four sermons
are: I'd "Woman's Power and
Work." CD "Are the Suffragettes
Afflicted with Maleitis?" 80 "Wo-
mans Influence Over Man." and CA
"Woman's Fidelity'-Last at the
cross, first at the tomb.

A stranger alighted from the local
eastbound train this morning, arriv-
ing from Leavenworth. He carried
with him large satchel. The lock
Of this was broken but the satchel
was held together by a light cord.
Just as he was about to step of of
the brick platform the cord broke,
throwing open the satchel. 1t was
filled with small bottles that were
dark brown in color. All but two OF
these were broken, and as a result
there should be loud lamentations
from a large number of persons in
this city today. The stranger quick
ly disappeared and the two bottles
which were saved from the wreck
were picked up by by-standers.

'Yun,p Ole, Yunnp' on Avenue

building of new steps within the
sidewalk lines. Some of the build
ings are left as much as three feet
above the sidewalks and customers
will have to step high indeed if they
care to enter.
One of the heaviest sufferers is
the proprietor of the Eagle cafe, who
has been doing business only week.
His place is at least three feet above
the walk, and while his neighbors
will lose as much as he will, the fact
that he has just gone to considerable
expense, and had no chance to break
even, creates quite a sentiment in
his favor.
Other houses up in the air are the
Columbia Real Estate company, the
office of A. E. Knowles, the Japan
csc restaurant, Whalen's barber
shop, Martins real estate office, the
vacant store formerly occupied by
Huck & Fitch, the Blue Grouse res
taurant, and the Mecca barber shop,
all on Wenatchee avenue On Oron-
do, the Orondo grocery and the
Orondo pool parlors were affected.
Some of the buildings are only a
little above the walk while others are
so high that the business will be
practically stopped.
Mrs. Lillis considers herself a
heavy loser on account of owning
several of the houses and intends to
do all she can to get the steps re-
placed.
The citizens in general are freely
expressing their appreciation OF the
councils action, while admitting the
| inconvenience and loss of those III.
rectly affected.

Portland, Ore, March 4.-The
railroad situation on the Northern

ule. The Northern Pacific line be-
tween Portland and Puget Sound Is
open but all branch lines in Washing
ton are In a more or less democrat
lied condition. The tracks In some
sections are badly settled and will
