Tuesday night as Fred Palmer,
clerk In the insurance commissions
er's Office at the state house, was on
his way home, passing east along
Chemeketa street, a man stepped out
from a dark place near Winter street
and attempted to hold him up. The
would-be burglar did not display any
weapon but his commanding tones
we're enough to make Fred think he
meant business. Fred had been suf-
fering with an affllctlon OF his feet
and found walking difficult, but as
soon as he was accosted, he found
that the wonderful effects OF "Tiz"

MISSISSIPPI
FLOOD BREAKS
ALL RECORDS

Torras, La, May 1.-The west side
main levee of the Mississippi river near
here broke last night. The crevasse
probably will be the worst in the flood
history Of the lower Mississippi.
Floodwater, the highest on record, is
rushing over parts of two thickly
settled parishes.
Relief is being rushed to marooned
families in the flooded territory north
OF here. Food depots have been fixed
at points convenient for distribution.
Terrible conditions prevail in the
Black river region. In many instances
parents and their children have taken
refuge on RATS, which they share with
livestock.
W. s. Simmons, who arrived from a
trip over Concordia, Catajoula and
Tenas parishes, says all of these we're
under water with the exceptions of a
few towns protected by levees.
"The inhabitants are homeless and
destitute" he said. give thousand
white persons along. the Black river
are in desperate fix. The govern
ment supplies received there are mad
equate.
MANY families, expecting the flood,
built RATS, and when the water came
they moved their household goods
aboard. The RATS are anchored to
trees and that is the way they are
living now"

MINERS
REJECT
OFFERS

IL
New York, May 2.--Elatly rejecting
the proposed compromise agreement
prepared by a subcommittee, the
joint committee of the anthracite
miners this afternoon caused pro-
longation Of the dispute between the

action OF the miners committee was
taken after the compromise had been
accepted by the full committee of
the operators.

the Joint wage scale committee OF
operators and miners are considering
this afternoon, is unanimous. II
suggests a new agreement providing
for the continuation, for a period of
four years, of the terms and condi-
tions of the anthracite strike COM
Missions award, supplemented by the
agreements entered into subsequent
to the award, excepting in the fol-
lowing aprticulars:
All employees are to get 10 per cent
over the scale established by the
strike commission in 1903, and the
sliding scale is to be abolished by
mutual consent; there shall be an
equitable division Of mine cars; the
contract miner shall not pay his em-
ployes less than the standard rate for
that particular class OF work; there
shall be grievance committee of
miners from each mine to discuss
with the company all grievances re-
ferred to this company by the en-
ployes; II the mine committee fails
to adjust the dispute, II may refer
the matter TO a conclllatlon board
from that particular mine district
Other terms Of the proposed agree
ment refer to the condition Of the
mines.
