FLOOD TIDE
From the Kanawha River Passes
Maysyille This MOrning-Much
Drift, Etc.

The food tide from the Kanawha
River began to pass Maysville this
morning about O'Clock. River men
say that II was the largest drift ever
to pass down the river. Dead horses,
cows and hogs passed in great num-
bers. Lumber still stacked, trees.
stumps. boards, parts of furniture,
porches and roofs of houses, windows
green corn, apples all passed down
in one indiscrible mass. One tree
passed down with apples still hang
ing from the limbs. The flood was
brought very near Maysville by the
drift. The devastation judging by the
amount and character of the drift
must have been beyond belief. Two
bodies were caught near Fullerton,
NY, only a few miles above Ports
mouth. They had aoated over hun
dred miles.
A great number of men were out
this morning in boats catching lumber
and other drift. The Courier was de-
layed several hours last night by the
drift and tied up here this morning.
The officers of the boat amused them
selves by catching great amount of
lumber. They also captured several
boxes bearing the names of West Vir-
ginia towns.
The local rivermen said this morn
ing that they only expected another
foot of water. This will bring the
stage to above seventeen feet and
will only miss going over the Golfer
dam at the government works by few
inches.

KE:
To Railway Strike Situation With En-
plOyes-Reyised Arbitration Board
Plan Only Hope For Peaceful
Settlement of Differences.

New York, August 11-Whether
the leaders of 100000 employees of the
railroads of the country will make
good their threats general strike
unless their demands for an eight
hour day and time and one-half for
overtime are granted by the managers
OF 235 railway systems, probably will
be known tomorrow, it was learned
here tonight from an authoritative
source.
The only hope Of peaceful settle
ment apparently rested tonight on the
possibility that the men might be in
duced to accept a new form of arbi-
tratlon, although thus far they have
steadfastly refused all such proposals.
Their chief objection to arbitration
has been the lack of representation
upon any of the boards provided I'M
der the existing statutes.
MeiatOrs' Activity Halted
The members of the Federal Board
OF Mediation and Cancellation, while
declining to discuss the situation, are
said to be hopeful that an expansion
of the size of the board provided for
under the Newlands act may meet
this objection. Efforts to obtain from
Washington approval of this plan was
reported to have been responsible for
the apparent suspension of the media
tors activities today.
If this suggestion is not accepted
Ii was said tonight, the mediation
board will have failed in it's efforts
and the only recourse will be an ap-
peal to President Wilson to use hts
influence to avert a strike. 1t was
pointed out, however, that the Presl-
dents power will be limited to sug
gestions and recommendations
Brotherhood Rejects NewIands Act
Leaders of the Brotherhood have
declared that they would not consider
arbitration under the Newlands act
as 1t now stands. The railroads have
rejected the mems demands and have
stood out firmly for arbitration. The
men have served notice that rather
than arbitrate they would strike With
both sides taking such an unbending
attitude there is no solution to the
problem except the new arbitration
plan, according to a responsible au-
thority.
The principal feature of the new
plan is said to be the formation of a
Board of Arbitration that will give
each of the fourth brotherhoods a rep
resentative on the board, while the
arbitrators of the railroads will be in
creased to an equal number, with
four neutral arbitrators, making
total membership Of twelve.

During the heavy rains of Wednes-

much damage was done to the county
turnpikes and bridges. A meeting
of the engineers was held this morn

damage was done to the turnpikes
which were all badly washed. Many
of the farmers also lost a great deal of
their crops.

But the Secret of Portland Cement Was

Portland cement may be defined as product made by burning limestone and clay, which have been mixed so as to form a certain composition. and grind ing the resulting "clinker" to powder
 In the early days much mystery sur. rounded the manufacture of Portland cement when 1t was first discovered by bricklayer of Leeds. England. He found that by mixing water with a cOmptMnd of Thames chslk and Med way mud be could compound an artih- cial water cement and determined that no one should discover bis secret When employed in manufacturing his raw mixture be Is said to have attired himself in a long black gown and the pointed hat of the mystic and to have recited mysterious incantadons during his operations.
 Bur a curious onlooker who deter mined to ascertain bis ingredients and methods had a sample analysed by chemist. whose result showed 90 per cent phosphate of lime, Thinking that he had solved the secret. he began to calcine all the bones he could gather up in the village, much to the discomfort and objections of bis nelghbors. who finally Induced him to deSist Follow ing. however the old system of cut. and-try. he finally solved the problem and eventually produced cement equal to that of the original com pounder, and the great Industry began 10 thrive al once.

, BILL Is HELD UP

JUNEAU, July 25.-Because Of the
protest of the British government no
effort will be made at this session to
pass the law for the protecc<,n of the
Alaska halibut fishermen, says adj
vices from Washington received here
today. After conferences between
the officials of the department Of COM
merce, state, and treasury a proposed
Soiu was drafted providing that no
fresh or frozen salmon or halibut
caught in Alaskan waters should be
admitted to the United States from a
foreign country except in bond from
a United States port.
The effect of this proposed law
would have been to send all the salmon
and halibut to KeJchikan, Alaska, in
tended for transportation to eastern
destinations over the Grand Trunk
Pacific to destinations in the eastern
part of the United States. 1t would
have been necessary to send the fish
by boat from Ketchikau to Prince Eu-
pert, the western terminal of the
Grand Trunk Pacifc.-Ex.
