Moro Story of the Flood.

The legend of the flood as told by
the AIOros is as follows:
"When the forty days and nights of
rain came No and his family got into
a box. One pair of each sort of bird
and beast also came in. Men who
were busy with their ordinary occupa-
tions and did not enter the box were
overtaken by the food. Those who
ran to the mountains became mon
keys; those who ran to the water, fish.
The Chinaman changed to Il hornbill.
\ woman who was eating the fruit of
a seaweed and would not stop was
changed into Il fish called dugong,
and her limbs can still be seen under
its skin"

Banknotes appear in much tho same

the earliest note was made of canvas,

about two meters. or six feet six inch

convenient when large sums were con

We want to be friendly with Fort

Fort Madison. We are surprised at
Fort Madison men fighting US and
fighting Fort Madison's interests at

Fort Madison will stop it and be

that city understands what is going
on. All we insist on is hands off, al
though We think we have a right to
ask assistance, especially where the
interests Of the company and of Fort
Madison city are the same.
When 1t was suggested that Fort
Madison should not be charged with
the acts of few of its citizens, Sec
rotary Allen made a gesture which
was more expressive than his words
as he replied:
Pshaw, If the people up there
can't stop a thing like this against
their own interests as well as ours
they'll have to show me"

COS.
While Patterson and Lint were in
camp the miners were working on
ground formerly occupied by a gam
bling house and dance hall, which fig
ured in some Of the most tragic
events in the history Of northern
Idaho, before the advent of a railroad
in the western country. Gun fights
were Of daily occurrence and few
nights passed without one or more
being slashed in bowie knife duels.
Veteran prospectors and placer
miners now living at Lewiston and
other parts of that district, who
flocked to Florence when the first
gold was found, declared years ago
that the richest digglngs were where
the camp town was located; but, as
no water was available until steam
pump was Installed recently for con
veying water to the sluices, no at
tempt was made TO mine the ground.

REPORTS OF OPPOSITION
Says Some For Madisonians Are

The following dispatch appears in
last evenings issue OF the Fort Madi-
son Democrat:
Keokuk, Iowa, Sept l3.-For the
first time there was, an atmosphere
in the water power offices today fore
casting lightning and storms for Fort
Madison The meteorological disturb
ance was caused by bulletins telling
of winds blowing from Fort Madison
to Green Bay and causing effects on
the farms of that township.
The reports sent down here were TO
the effect that some Fort Madison
citizens were getting the Green Bay
farmers, or at least as many OF them
as possible, 10 sign contracts by
which the Fort Madison men are TO
control the negotiations between the
water power company and the land
owners about the damages TO accrue
to the land from building the dam
The company considers this the
butting in OF third parties TO profit
by fuss where the company is striv-
ing for peace and q solution of ques-
tions finally satisfactory TO every
body actually concerned Secretary J.
P. Alien expressed this statement OF
the company feeling when he said:
Insists on Hands Off.
The city OF Fort Madison ought to
support the drainage district idea as a
whole. for 1t is conservative and has
for its object the saving Of 5000 acres
OF fine land near the stores OF the city
but Fort Madison ought not 10 deter
mine for us and the farmers what We
shall agree between ourselves to do,
whatever that may turn out TO be in
the details. Fort Madison's interest is
TO get the company and the farmers
of Green Bay together on some mid
die, equitable ground, and not TO spoil
our efforts TO arrange friendly, sat
isfactory solution OF our common
problems We are satisfied that the
farmers concerned are DESTROYS of do
ing what is right and that we can
meet them in satisfactory arrange
ments as soon as they have time TO
think 1t over carefully and become
fully informed
Fort Madison citizens are entitled
to whatever opinions they may hap
pen to hold about this or any other
matter, but they have no right to in
trude their unasked ideas into other
peoples negotiations If they do not
agree with Us, or with the land own
ers, they should stay on the fence
and. let the real parties In interest
settle their own problems. This is the
least that can be asked Of them.

Madison men are to get all they can

that the water power company will
