NOME IS FLOODED
BY A SUDDEN SEA
HOUSES CARRIED AWAY;
MUCH DAMAGE IS DONE
without Warning Waves Rise and
Sweep Alaska Town-Moon Eclipse
or Submarine Volcano Thought to
BE Cause.

Nome, Nov. 4.-Without warning
seas swept over the sandspit on
which Nome is located yesterday af-
ternoon and night and washed two
houses into the sea, destroyed fifteen
others and damaged 80. No lives
were lost, however. The schooner
Mary Sachs, was carried inland and
left dry on the spit. Thousands of
dollars worth of provisions were lost
by the flooding of cellars and stores.
The surf is now abating. Many bar
ges were torn loose and drifted to
the sea. All Nome is working to re-
pair the damage. The only explana-
ton for the unusually high tide is
either a moon eclipse or submarine
volcano.

ADAMS PEOPLE ARE
FOR SENATOR SMITH
HOTLY RESENT INSULTS
THROWN AT PHYSICIAN
With Big Rally at Court House Mon
day Night Democratic Candidates
Will Close Campaign-At UmatiIla
Tonight.

With every candidate present upon
the platform the democratic candi-
dates held a good rally at Adams last
evening and 80 people were in the au-
dience which turned out to listen to
Senator c. j. Smith and his associates
in this campaign. 1t was almost the
first time all of the candidates had
been together as some of them have
been prevented from attending all
the meetings. This applies particu-
larly to Sheriff T. D. Taylor, who has
been very busy on criminal work dur
ing much OF the campaign.
Thomas Lieuallen of Adams was the
presiding officer last night and he in
troduced all Of the candidates in sue
cesslon, save DR.. Monkman, candi-
date for coroner, who did not talk
last evening. AS at the other meet
Smith gave the more extended talk
and dwelt at length upon the issues
in the local campaign. The hearty
applause which greeted the doctor
showed plainly the feelings of the
meeting towards him
At Adams, as at Echo and other
places throughout the county, DR..
Smith was greeted by many friends
OF both parties who expressed the
deepest resentment over the scurril-
Gus attacks that have been made up
on him during the senatorial cam
paign. Everywhere his personal and
professional friends are flocking to
his support because of the insults
that have been hurled at him upon
the score that he is physician.
This evening the democratic can
| didates will be at Umatilla and to-
morrow evening they will hold a big
rally at Milton. At o'clock tomor.
row afternoon they will address q
meeting of voters at Ferndale.
Monday evening the campaign will
be brought to a close with big rally
in this city The meeting will be held
at the court house and will be ad-
dressed by all Of the candidates.

BIG AERIAL CRUISER
SOON Be LAUNCHED

London, Nov. Am a huge shed
finishing touches on Great Britain's
first great aerial cruiser. and the big
airship will soon be ready for launch
ing. Until that event takes place
Naval Airship No. l." as 1t is Off
cially called, remains mystery. 1t
is known that she will be the largest
and probably the speediest airship
ever built, but the details of her con-
struction and alleged superiority are
known only to the officials directly
concerned. Hundreds of guards pa
troll the vicinity of the Barrow work
shop to keep off spies and curiosity
seekers.
The knowledge that Great Britain
Is soon to have a great war airship
has served to relieve the fears of mil
lions of Englishmen, who have been
kept awake o'nights by dread OF
German airship invasion.
It Is said that the total cost of the
new airship will reach the half-mil-
lion mark, which is much beyond the
original estimate of $350,000. The en-
velope of the balloon Is Of secret
composition resembling aluminum
but alleged to be stronger than that
metal, Two boats are to be attached
to the balloon and these are expected
to enable the balloon to be used on
the surface of the water as well as an
aerial voyager. Two officers and siz
men will comprise the crew of the
vessel. Enough petrol can be stored
on board, it is said, to enable the air
ship to stay up in the air for three
or four days.

Wheat Harvest Begins.

Buenos Ayres, Nov. 4.-Wheat har-
vesting is in progress today in some
parts of Argentina and another week
or two will see the garnering of the
grain on in full blast all over the re-
public. 1t is estimated by the minister
OF agriculture that the crop this year
will be the largest in the history OF
the country, and the surplus for ex-
port, above home consumption. will
probably reach the staggering total OF
at least 135,000.000 bushels. The
bumper Argentine crop will doubtless
exercise a depressing effect upon
