WASHINGTON, D.

CANNOT STAND
 FOR THE NOISE,
Associated PresS)


 PALO ALTO, California, July 24. The trustees of Leland Stanford uni versity have refused to sanction the use of the 2OO-acre tract of land near the university for artillery prac- tice purposes. The reason is the fear that the noise of the firing of artil- lery would interrupt class work in the school The decision of the trus- tees has disrupted the plans for ar tillery practice, although it is sup posed that the various batteries that were to have praCticed on the uni yelsity grounds will now be moved to the national guard encampmenl at Camp Fremont.

SEATTLE, July 24,-With contracts of lumber for the construction of of umber for the construction of army cantomments, the lumbermen of the northwest are fearful of hay ing to give up the attempt to fill them. The reason is the delay occa- stoned by the strikes in the lumber mills and logging camps, most of which, however, have now been set tied. This delay, it is believed, will cause the cancellation of the con tracts by the government.

NENANA. July 24-There is no change in She flood situation here. The water is apparently no higher. but neither is it going down, al though ditches to the Tiver seem to be carry ng fl away to some extent. This condition ca es the belief that considera ble of the water, par,icu- larly in the residence section, is Tho hing more nor less than the ac- cumU ation iron the recent rains, although it is a well known fact that part of it has backed up through the drains from the river.
 Nenana avenue, the street on which the cottages of he Engineer ing commission, the hospital the bachelor quarters and the mess are located, is completely under water, which comes up to the second step at Commissioner Riggs home. It has therefore been necessary to ele- vate the sidewalk everywhere on the street Other parts of the residence district, particularly the east part of town, have also suffered from the high water
 One of the largest property losses occasioned by the flood is that of C. x. Mortensen, proprietor of the Nenana gardens He has lost every thing just when his produce was growing nicely and when some of it was ready to market. This means that he has lost all of the results of his spring and summer work, and the fact that they may do likewise is causing other gardeners to feel keenly the experience of MOrtenSet
