High Water
Makes Trouble
WASHOUTS And SLIDES ON
Trains Held Up Saturday And Sunday.
Feet Of Track Washed Out

High water has already begun
to cause trouble but so far it is
the railroads that have suffered
most and the most of the trouble
has been on the branch line.
There was considerable trouble
ON that line all of last week. A
portion of the track this side Of
Bovill was under water Thurs
day and Friday, which interfered
more or less with the operations
of the trains.
Saturday a slide occurred this
side of the tunnel. This was
followed by a washOut at Swopes,
about five miles from this city.
Something over eighty feet of
track was carried away at this
point. The passenger train was
on the other side of the wash
out and did not reach this city
until Monday afternoon. A
special train with the superin-
tendent of the division on board
was up the branch line at the
time the washout occurred and
was forced to lay at Lotus all day
Sunday. The tracks have been
repaired and the trains are run
ming regularly again.
The Milwaukee road is also
having trouble on its main line
through the Cascades. The east
bound passenger due here at
1925 last evening did not ar
rive until about nine o'clock this
morning.

STRIKE PROBABLE WHEN
LOG DRIVE STARTS

Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, the
noted l. w. w. woman speaker,
delivered an address to a large
audience at the Grand Theatre
Sunday evening. The larger pOr-
ton of her audience was COM
posed of mill and woods workers.
The burden of her talk was a
plea for the workers to join the l.
w. w. and organize and she ad-
vocated a demand for an eight
hour day and five dollars per day
wages for work on the drives, ad-
vising a strike if these demands
were not met. She advised the
men to quit at the end of eight
hours and inform the foremen
they were acting according to a
law enacted in the l. w. w. hall,
She made a plea for money to
aid the members of the I. w. w,
on trial at Everett, Wash, and
made a thinly Veiled threat that
if they were convicted there would
be a strike which would stop all
logging operations and close
down all mills in the west.
