Tacoma and western Washing
ton are threatened with heavy
floods within the next SO hours.
Dangerous avalanches are
likely on the west slope of the
Cascades.
These were the official predic-
tions of the L. s. weather bureau
in a delayed report late this
morning.
While the snow had been melt
ing gradually up to noon today
and it appeared that Tacoma and
the surrounding country might be
let off easily, official reports in
dicated that a southwest wind is
bringing warm air currents from
Oregon which was swept by a
flood-carying Chinook last night.
Puyallup River Rising.
With the upper Willamette riv-
err rising several inches an hour,
Portland shippers began to move
their goods away from the lower
docks this morning. The Chi
nook which swept the valley last
night, melting the snow which has
covered the ground for a month,
has sent q torrent down every
gully.
The crest of the flood is near
Corvallis today.
AS the result of the thaw and
rain of yesterday the Puyallnp
river has risen two feet. II the
warm winds hit us within the
next SO hours, as predicted, the
river threatens to overflow its
banks, and backed by torrents
from the mountains and foothills,
send a disastrous flood over the
valley.
No Present Danger.
County Engineer White said a
heavy rain, together with the
warm winds, would be very seri-
GUS, but that as long as the thaw
continues at its present rate there
is no danger.
Engineer Roberts of the inter.
county river improvement board
said that the present barriers Of
the Puyallup withstood a 10-fooi
rise during December. He does
not look for floods unless II
rains or warm winds come. The
thaw is gradual at the headwaters
so far, while many of the con
Itributing streams are blocked
This keeps the great rush of wa.
ter checked.

Time was when going to COL
lege was looked upon as one of
the favorite winter sports for the
sons of liberal paws and maws.
Gradually people have begun to
realize that the university Is the
work shop, and that those who
don't put in the ticks eventually
get the blue ticket that lets them
out. 4
But lots of folks yet are too
darn slick to be fooled into the
idea that those fraternity boys
are anything but lot OF young

About 500 of the men at the
university live in the az frater-

And nearly that number of
women live in sorority houses.

Three men were killed in
stantly this forenoon when
1000 pounds of dynamite eX-
pioded in an isolated gelatine
shack at the Dupont Powder
works near Tacoma.
The dead men are John
Bell, Gus Wolff and Peter
jeff, the only persons In the

iosion. Property damage
amounting to $4,000 re-
suited in the terrific explos-
ion, which broke windows
for miles around.
Officials of the company are
they say, to give reason
for the accident.
They are conducting rigid
investigation. A careful watch
has been kept around the plant
for fear OF anti-war fanatics, so
that it is believed the accident
was purely accidental
No attempt will be made to
place the bl-n until more details
can be obtained.

SsEeral large war orders are

quir;ng large crew of extra
workers.
The three men who were killed
are said to have been old, expert
enced men, having been in the
employ of the company for sew
eral years.
They were last seen going
to work this morning. Their
mangled bodies were found
at "a distance from the shack
which was blown to splinters.
A large hole marks the
spot where the gelatine plant
stood.
Other buildings escaped
damage because of their ex-
IRENE distance from the gel
atine department. This Is
the first serious accident at
the Dupont plant for more
than year.

ASKS SUPPORT
TN RATE FIGHT

If Tacoma and Northwest bust
ness men win their fight against
the Hartman railroads, and the
interstate commerce commission
knocks out the tourist blockade
here there is nothing, it was
learned today, to prevent the
Hartman roads from dropping
their rates still lower and Great
ing another situation exactly sim
liar.
But with the united support
of every business man." declared
Chairman C. A. Reynolds, of the
public service commission, who
has led she fight thus far, I'VE
can ove-Nme the possibility of
such a catastrophe.
Law Must BE Changed.
He pointed out that the Harri-
man interests control tourist
rate from Chicago TO San Fran
cisco and return, via the South
ern lines, $3.50 cheaper than
the tourist rate between the same
terminals via the Northwest,
though the distance this way is
253 miles shorter.
1--WE are trying to equalize
those rates." he said. But IL we
succeed, the Hartman railroads
could drop their rates $3.50
lower, and we could not inter-
fere, under the provisions of the
present interstate commerce act
of 1870"
Drafting a Bill.
Reynolds, however, is prepar-
ing bill which he will present
to Senator Miles Poindexter and
Congressman Will K. Humphrey
for introduction in both houses
of congress amending the inter-
state commerce act to empower
the commission to fix a minimum
rate.
Such an amendment, he says,
will block the Hartman interests
from any such move and insure
equal rates once the present pref
erential is eliminated.
Reynolds has wired an appeal
to both representatives in con-
gress. asking them to Introduce
the proposed amendment bill.
Their replies follow;
Prepare and forward such bill
as you think ! should introduce,
together with reasons why such
legislation should be enacted.

TALK PEACE AGAIN!

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. Z.
In the chancelleries of Euope,
according to advices received here

peace than appears on the surface.
The discussion Is focusing grad
ually and some day soon definite
terms will take form.
Stimulated by this European
renewal of interest in the subject,
great number of leading Ameri-
cans have expressed their views
today on the subject OF possible
peace terms. A composite treaty,
drafted from the suggestions of
80 representative leaders is print
ed herewith.
Here are parts of some of the
comments they made:

upon the belligerent nations a
simultaneous announcement of
the terms upon which peace would
be accomplished - which is only
another way of declaring to the
public the principles for which
they are fighting-it is probable
that either side could, by plainly
announcing its terms, compel the
other side to do likewise, for what

by refusal that it did not know
for what 1t was fighting, or that
knowing, it was not willing to let
