One Reported Hurt-Trains May
BE Tied Up Days.

Seattle. Jan. 4.-Snow slides in the
mountains resulting from rains and
warm weather interfered with train
operation again yesterday and tied up
the Great Northern's transcontinent-
al line to such an extent that overland
trains are being handled between Sc
attle and Spokane over the Northern
Pacific tracks.
A report received at Great North
ern headquarters said 800 foot sec
ton Of the old wooden snow shed near
the west portal OF the Cascade tun-
mel was demolished. by an avalanche.
No trains were in the mountains and
no one was hurt, but the line will be
tied up several days while the wreck
age Is being cleared away. The new
concret snow shed built by the Great
Northern after the disastrous snow
slide of three years ago withstood the
slides undamaged.
Gangs of laborers were sent to the
mountains last night.
The Chicago, Milwaukee and st
Paul and the Northern Pacific are
getting their trains through without
serious delay, but at Great Northern
headquarters 1t was said that line
probably would be tied for at leas
three days.

THE detail of troops to the forests

training in camp life and teach them

would furnish the forest service with

Immediately available, to check and
extinguish these fires. Our troops
must be furnished subsistence wher-
ever they are, and the additional ex-

would be more than offset by the

SMALLEST OF DYNAMOS.
IL Will St:ad on u Cent, But Is Per
feet Machine.

The smallest electric dynamo in
the world was exhibited recently be-
fore the French Academy of Science.
So small is this dynamo that its base
would not occupy all the space on an
American penny.
The instrument is a perfect minia-
ture of large machine and is a prac-
tical model in every respect. 1t
works with a hum that sounds like
a buzz of mosquito. 1t weighs only
one-fifth of an ounce and is six-tenths
of an inch thick.
The little dynamo can be used not
only as generator but as a motor
consuming in this latter case two
amperes of electric current at a pres
sure of two and one-half volts. A

C|TY'S WATER IN
FINE CONDITION
Superintendent Davis Submits
Analyses Made During
Month of Tuly.

Rumors OF polluted water and faint
ed reservoirs fly fastest and find great
est credencc In the dog days BY way
OF correcting loose reports about Rich
mond's water supply, Superintendent
of the Water Works T. T. Davis yes
terday submitted a detailed statement
OF the water situation during the
month OF July as shown by daily tests
made by Director +. q. Baldwin, of the
Settling Basins and Laboratory
According to Mr.. Baldwin's July re-
port TO Mr.. Davis. the water delivered
TO houscholders, tested for the bacillus
coli, averaged four per cubic cent?
metre rs compared with ninety one
for the raw water. The reduction was
effected In the passage OF the water
through the settling and coagulating
basins and by regular treatment with
calcium hypochloritc. Compared with
the bacillus coll count for average July
water, the bacteria contained in the
water supplied during last July was
practically negligible.
The presence or bacillus COLI" said
Mr.. baldwin yesterday, may or may
not mean the presence of the typhoid
bacillus. The daily analyses have not
revealed the presence OF the latter
Considering the low state OF the river
and its high turbidity. I should say
that the quality of the water supplied
TO users during the month just past
was exceptionally good"
The clcasing OF the water in it's pas
sage from the river through the set
Ting and coagulating basins is shown
by its reduction in turbidity 9S per
cent, in color CT per cent. and In bac-
terra 81 per cent. During the month
just past 15S samples of water were
examined. The 479.924.G1o gallons sup
piled were treated with 3,l77 pounds Of
calcium hypochlorite.

Inmates Of the institution. as the
guards. driven back by the intense
heat were unable to unlock the cell
doors. and 1t was necessary to cut
through the solid brick walls before
the prisoners could be released
The fire was discovered shortly after
midnight on Friday. August S, 1929
and the entire city was soon aroused
by the changing Of the alarm bells.
The Public Guard from the armory
the fire company and hundreds OF citi-
zens fastened TO the place. Governor
Peasants was among the first there
and took charge of the situation.
When 1t was seen that the cells
could not be opened, volunteers were
called for. and the gigantic task Of
cutting into the place was undertaken
Momentarily it was expected that
break for liberty would be made but
ms fast as the cowed prisoners were
released they were placed under
heavily armed guard. and the whole
body of inmates marched to the por-
tico Of the Capitol, where they were
inspected and all accounted for They
remained under guard until daylight
when the men were taken to the
armory and tho women to the bar
racks for safekeeping.
Nearly all OF the buildings, except
some of the cells, the dining room and
Kitchen, were destroyed. 1t was
thought that "trusty" had concealed
himself in the shoe shop and set fire
to the building In attempting to escape
but this was never proved
The penitentiary was started in
1896, the cornerstone laid on August
~. 1898. and the building opened With
twenty three prisoners early in 1900
There have been several serious fires
since the founding of the Institution,
but none of such proportions as that
of ninety years ago.
