SIGNATURE
RESEMBLED
WIRE MATTRESS

Because of the inability of the dep
uty district attorney to decipher the
signature of j. H. Booth, president of
the state fair board, to a check to
which Bert Warford is alleged to
have forged the name of Miss Eliza
beth Lord, Judge Harris yesterday
afternoon held that there was a fa-
tai variance between the check and
the one described in the indictment
and instructed the jury to return a
verdict of not guilty in favor of the
defendant.
Hardly, however, had the jury re-
turned the verdict before Deputy
District Attorney Winslow moved to
have his case re-brought before the
grand jury-and the motion was grant
ed, and he will come up before that
body again for consideration when it
convenes.
The deputy district attorney had
construed the signature of Booth to
be R. A. instead of j. H. Booth con-
meets the initials of his name up so
that they are indecipherable, unless
person knows the initials. The
judge in examining the signature
from the bench admitted that if he
did not know the initials of Booth
that he would have committed the
same error.

London, Jan. 13.-With so per cent
of the men voting for walkout on
March l, unless their demand for a
minimum wage scale is granted by the
Cardiff colliery operators, the British
government today is alarmed over the
prospect of the 611,0OO coal miners
quitting work. Should no agreement
be reached when the miners meet the
operators here January %, and the
men carry out their threat to strike,
the English navy would be practically
helpless.
At present the coal supply on. hand
will hardly last England a month, and
a coal famine is certain to follow a
strike. The operators are unable to
fill commercial orders, declaring that
the present supply is barely sufficient
to meet the demands of the navy.

day by Attorney General Crawford.
1t was rendered at the request of
the county trea of Klamath

ed in bank in lath Falls and
that he is depositing the funds there
without it paying any interest to the
county. A protest went up as other
banks desired to pay interest, and he
asked for an opinion. -~
The attorney general holds that the
county treasurer is responsible for
the money and that the law vests in
him the power to place it in any de-
pository he may see fit and the fact
that any other banks desire to pay
any interest on it, or higher rate
than that in which the money is de.
posted, can make no difference.

Despite reports to the contrary,
there has been no damage done so far
to property in the city, nor, as near
as can be learned, in the adjacent
country by-reasoIr. .os the floods. The
Willamette is high, and still rising,
and Mill creek has been converted by
the rains into a roaring stream, but
the damage, if any, done by this
stream so far are inconsequential
Should the heavy rains continue to
fall, there exists the possibility that
those residing near it may suffer, but
1t is not believed that the flood of a
year ago will be repeated.
No Danger From Santiam.
The dam of the Salem FIGURING
Mills, in the Santiam, at Stayton, gave
way yesterday afternoon, and reports
had it that there was danger of water
from this stream pouring into Mill
creek~a and causing it to overflow its
banks. While the dam did give way
there was never any reason for any
alarm, for it is situated below the
point where the company's canal Sc
cures its water from the river, and
would relieve, rather than aggravate
the situation.
w. p Babcock, manager of the COM
pany, when seen in relation to the
matter, stated that the dam was COM
posed of brush, and that it's washout
was yearly occurrence. The com
pany intended for it to wash out each
year, he said, for otherwise the water
would enter the race, and, though the
company has sets of headgates, they
would be powerless to control the
flood that would ensue. Since the low
water time in Mill creek the company
has had no water in its canal, nor is
there any now, and all the water in
Mill creek at present comes from its
source and its tributary streams.
willamette Rising.
The Willamette stands today II feet
above the low water mark in the city:
16 feet in Albany, and II in Corvallis.
1t is still rising and should the rains
continue there is a possibility of the
river going up to 25 feet.
Even at that height no danger to
property need be feared according to
those versed with the situation.
The Santiam has fallen Is inches.
This is probably due to a cold snap in
the mountains
Mill Creek Situation.
A year ago Mill creek went beyond
its banks, and, besides washing out
the bridges of the city and destroying
property, one human life was lost. The
water, however, has not began to rise
to that point, nor are the rains as
heavy nor any indication that they
will be.
Some residents along this creek are
suffering the inconvenience of having
water in their cellars, but beyond that
no one has suffered, as near as can
be learned, and the city and no part
of 1t is overflowed, and no "sea of
water" is visible now, nor has it been.
