congratulated upon the results of your
efforts and especially upon the fact
that you have been successful in OBJ
tanning this keystone from the an
cient quarries of king Solomon. May
his building long be a home for all
that is honorable in mankind, and
may the light which emanates from
your lodge room become beacon
for all men to see, and may 1t draw
to you all that is best in your city.
Allow nothing to stand in the way of
your assuming that position which
your profession warrant. and ever re-
member that the wanderings of tho
children of Israel from captivity Ia
Babylon TO the city of Jerusalem are
but symbolic OF the journey of life.
May the cement Of brothcrly love bind
you so closely together that the spir-

to be building, and in which each in
dividual is rs but Il brick in the wal,
will stand secure against the assaults
of evil, so long as truth, honor and

That Duplicates Horrors Of
Of Johnstown Disaster
BURSTING OF GAS MAINS
ADDS FIRE TO THE FLOOD
Eight Hundred Are Missing and
Believed to Have Lost Their
Lives in Rush of Waters and
Flames That Follow Waves

COUDERSPORT, Penn, Sept. 80.
With a roar heard for miles the
great dam of the Bayles Pulp and
Paper Co., at Austin, Penn, fourteen
miles from here, went out at 1880 this
afternoon. Forty bodies were recov-
cred from the ruins when darkness
fell this evening, and is is estimated
that fully eight hundred more persons
unaccounted for are believed to be
dead The dam was $50 feet long,
~ feet high and 80 feet thick at the
base, and held back more than 500
million gallons OF water.
Victims Caught in Their Homes
For the first time since it's construc-
taen two years ago, water was rum
ming over the top today. Many per-
sons went out from Austin mile and
a half to see it. They were horri-
fed when a section of about 20 feet
wide gave way on the west side A
great volume of water poured through
the hole and the alarm was quickly
sounded. The people ran for their
lives to the nearby hills, but many
were caught in the flood. A few min
utes lates another gap opened on the
east side and a vast volume of water
shot out onto the low LANDS.

DYNAMITE. BREAKS UP
ORCHARD LAND SOIL

Scores OF ranchers. some of them
from considerable distance, were
~ esent Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock
when experiments in dynamiting
were carried forward on the Fruit
vale orchard of A. +. Richardson
to determine the effect of heavy ex-
plosives on the soil The work was
In charge OF w. w Weir. drain
age expert Of the department of ag-
riculture, and Of r. E. Murphy Of
tho Dupont Powder company. The
operations were closely watched by
Prof. w. S. Thornber Of the state
college. Some forty shots were fired,
largely as an experiment as the char
acter of the soil was an unknown
quantity The best result obtained
was by the use Of a half stick of
dynamite exploded three feet below
the surface. This resulted merely in
surface upheaval so far as the ex-
ternal evidence indicated, but exca-
waited a large cavity below and re-
suited In cracks which extended in
different directions for distance OF
six or eight feet This kind and size
OF a charge appears to be the best
but the actual results So far as the
trees are concerned viii be shown
by the growth Of next year The
ranchers who We're present at the ak
pertinent expressed themselves as be-
ing very well pleased and Mr. Rich
ardson said that great interest was

EIGHT HUNDRED DROWNED
Lives Reported Lost i'm Other Towns
in the Narrow Valley

in the Narrow Valley
AUSTIN, Penn, Sept. 30.--More
than 500 people were drowned; and
an untold number of others manned
here when the great dam of the Bay
les Pulp and Paper Co. went out to-
day. One hundred and sixty bodies
are reported found at one o'clock
this Sunday morning.
Reports from Costello say that town
was washed away. Rumor has it that
many lives were lost at this point
Nothing has been heard from Whar-
ton, although it could scarcely have
escaped as the valley is very narrow
between Costello and that point
Hundreds of men and women of this
place are searching the ruins for their
families and friends. The only light
is the glare of hundreds of houses
which caught fire from the broken gas
pipes almost before the flood had
passed. Food is being distributed
from Odd Fellows hall. Seven
bridges across Freeman Run were
swept away.
1t is estimated tonight that one
thousand buildings were torn from
their foundations or destroyed by fire
and water. Twenty-four buildings are
standing down town. The scene to-
night is appalling. Men and women
who had lost their children wandered
into the darkness crying their names
in the vain hope they might answer
but without success. Some Of the
bodies will never be recovered. Many
were incinerated and others crushed
and ground to pieces by the masses Of
| timber and stone swept down by the
| food.
Austin is a town Of 5000 inha pitants
Early this morning it was officially
stated that Wharton was safe but that
Costello. with 500 inhabitants. was al
most completely wiped out, but there
is no estimate of the number of lives
lost at that point.
The catastrophe paralleled in many
respects the destruction by flood OF
Johnstown. Penn, in 1889, in which
more than $500 lives were lost. The
property loss as the result of today's
disaster is several million dollars.

TARIFFS FOR
STORAGE FRUIT
Shippers of Yakima Valley Re.
ceive Details of New Regula.
tons From G. G. Burdick

Apple shippers OF tho Yakima val-
ley have received from C. C. Burdick,
general agent of the Northern Pacific
railway here, copies of the tariff
which will become effective October
10, and which covers the storage of
apples in transit. The tariff slips cir
culated by Mr.. Burdick say that Car
load shipments of apples (fresh) in
packages, originating in the states of
Montana Idaho, Washington, Oregon
or beyond, when destined to points be-
yond the lines of this company, may
be stored in transit at Duluth, Mimi,
Superior. Wis, st. Paul, Minnesota
Transfer or Minneapolis, Mimi, for a
period not to exceed nine months. but
in no case later than July list follow
ing date of shipment"
There are a number OF conditions
which govern. Storage must be in a
warehouse furnished by the shipper
or owner and no charge accrung at
the storage point will be assumed by
the railroad. Shipments of apples
stored in transit will be subject to
rates in tariffs lawfully on file with
the interstate tariff commission con-
tanning rates between shipping point
and destination in addition to storage
or other charges Carriers are in no
way responsible Off loss or Injury.
Special attention Is directed by the
railroad to the fact that tariffs carry
higher rate when apples are stored
in transit. An example OF this Is that
the present tariff on straight carload
shipments of apples from Washing
ton to Chicago is 81 but when stored
in transit the rate is S1.10. There arc
other conditions GOVERNING proceed

ed before they knew what had hap
pened.
Fire Followed the Flood
Houses went down before the mighty
rush of water and gas pipes were
broken and before the crest of the
flood passed through the town a dozen
fires were burning and the cries of
the injured and imprisoned mingled
with the terrific roar and thunder of
the flood.
Much debris is lodged at the shops
OF the Buffalo and Susquehanna rail-
road and there the fire ragged the
fiercest. Many men were caught there
and it is believed few If any escaped.
The course of the flood was through
the business portion of the town. The
majority of the buildings were wood
and those not INN ediately wrecked
by the torrent of water were soon in
fiames The food passed quickly,
leaving desolation in it's wake. The
houses were crushed and tossed like
toys while hundreds of bodies were
carried down on the crest of the surg
ing torrent.

Probably one thousand Masons
ticipated last Wednesday fore
noon in the placing OF
the keystone in the arch of the new
100000 Masonic temple, the parade
and the ceremony following it being
unique in that it was probably the
first time that it had ever been seen
in the Northwest, and impressive be-
pageantry relating to the ancient or
der, dating back to the time of Solo
mon and the building of the first
temple. Added interest to the cere-
money was had in the history of the
stone which became part of the build
ing, coming as it did from the quar-
ries in Jerusalem of the early Jewish
king who built the temple with ma
terial from the same place.
Those participating assembled at
the old Masonic building on North
First street shortly after 8 o'clock,
marching and counter marching
over the route already mentioned, to
the music OF Ferullo's band and
clad in their gorgeous ceremonial
robes presented to the hundreds Of
persons lining the streets sight sell

Companion Norman Compton, grand
marshal Of the parade, preceded the
singers, forty in number, the men
clad in gray robes and the women in
white.

the sensation of the English turf this
season. No more brilliant riding has
ever been seen in this country than
the recent performances of young
Wootten. For the past two years the
youngster has been the chief rival of
Danny Maher, the American rider
generally managing to beat him on
the total winning mounts because of
