HEAVY RAINFALL OF PAST
WEEK TIES UP THREE BIG
TRANSCONTINENTAL ROADS
The G. N, N. P. and Milwaukee
Were Unable to Move Trains
Over the Cascades-Consid,
cradle Damage In This
Locality

The greatest downpour of water,
covering a wider area and doing
more damage, causing more inter
ruption in railroad service than any
one remembers, began the night of
Dec 14th and continued uninterrup-
tedly, almost day and night, until
the morning of the 10th. While
the damage on the east side of the
mountains was confined to small
, slides on the railroads, washouts in
the public roads and the carrying
out of a number of small bridges
thruout the county. On the west
side of the mountains the damage
was greater and caused serious de-
laws to the Great Northern railroad.
Between Monroe and Snohomish
over 400 feet of a twenty foot fill
was carried out in one place, bridges
were made unsafe, while snow and
mud slides were too numerous to
mention. The Milwaukee and Nor
thern Pacific were tied up from
Tuesday until today. On the Nor
thern Pacific two foot of water was
rushing thru the Stampede tunnel
Tuesday night and Wednesday. The
Great Northern began to send trains
thru to the Coast yesterday. Sew
eral Northern Pacific passenger
trains went over the G. N. yester-
day and last night.
Both the north and south side
county roads between Leavenworth
and Wenatchee were badly damaged
by washouts. On the Blewett road
several small bridges were washed
out, the largest one being near the
mill. The Peshastin Lumber Co.'S
blacksmith shop, which was built on
the bank of Peshastin creek was un-
dermined by the water and went
down the stream. 1t is estimated
that several thousand dollars will he
required to again put the roads in
good condition. Practically all the
snow has disappeared from the val
leys.
The residents of the north side of
the city who have cellars, found
them flooded with water when they
got up last Tuesday morning. In
most cases the damage was slight,
as they were in most cases used to
store canned fruits which had only
to be fished out of the water and
was found undamaged.

REDUCED FARE ON RAILROADS

Because Christmas time is visi-
ting time with many people, the rail
roads have for years made reduced
rates at this time of year. To those
who are planning trip it will be
good news to learn that very liber-
al rates and time limits have been
arranged. The one and one-third
rate for round trip tickets will go
into effect Dec. 20 and will be sold
until the 25th, good for the return
trip to Jan. 3rd.

KEEPING CAR CLEAN
Many People Pay Little Attention
to Appearances.
SMALL PARTICLES CUT METAL
Good Washing With Soap and Water
Will Save Many Dollars in Repair
BiIIs-Avoid Soap on Highly
Polished Body.

Some people pay little attention to
the appearance of their cars, washing
and polishing only on rare occasions.
not only because it makes the car
look better but because it increases
life and makes for smooth running,
writes FL. A. Tarantous of New York
in Orange Judd Farmer. Mud and
dirt on the running gear parts, such
as brakes, universals, ETC., would be
perfectly harmless if it remained away
from the working parts. However,
the small particles work their way to
the moving parts and cut the metal.
This applies to the steering system
also.
A good cleaning of the running
gear with soft soap and water when
ever the mud accumulates will save
many dollars in repair bills. Use tepid
water and be free with it. A large
sponge well soaped should be used to
free the mud from it's lodgings. Do
not use this same sponge for the body
because the small particles of sand
will cut the finish. Use soft cloth for
cleaning.
Be Careful With Hose.
In using a hose around the car be
as careful as possible not to get water
into the brake drums and other parts.
If a little care is exercised the water
can be kept away. Use the sponge
for these places to free the mud. In
washing the radiator direct the stream
of the water from the rear with the
hood lifted or off. If this is done no
water will get onto the motor and
possibly into the magnetic and carbu-
rotor. Clean the steering knuckles
and even the rear axle housing. After
the running gear is clean proceed with
the body.
Never use soap on highly polished
body. Nothing but water should be
used. If there are mud spots they
should be soaked off with water. If
you rub the mud while it is hard it
will cause scratching of the varnish.
Apply Polish.
When the body has thoroughly dried
apply polish of some sort. The wax
polishes are good, and if applied once
week will make the ears always look
bright Liquid polishes which are
sprayed upon the body can be applied
in about one-half hour. No rubbing is
necessary with these polishes. A WHIP
ing after applying is all that is need
ed.
For the upholstery use mixture of
half linseed oil and half vinegar for
frightening up the leather. Apply it |
with a cloth and allow it to remain
for about an hour. Then |
wipe the upholstery again, so as to re-
move any chance of soiling the clothes
of the passengers.

Japanese Crime Deteetor.

If theft takes place in a japanese
household all the servants are required
to write a certain word with the same
brush. The conscience is supposed to
betray its workings in the waves of the
ideographs written. Tracing an ideo-
graph involves such an effort of muscu-
lar directness and undivided attention
that this device often leads to the dis
covery Of guilty persons. The test is,
at all events, more humane than the

WASTE OF EFFORT

Not Fair To Harass Those
Who Have Given, Says
The Statement

The Fargo branch Of the American
Red Cross will not participate in,
or countenance any entertainments
given for the purpose of raising Red
Cross funds, and will accept only
voluntary contributions, it has been
decided by the executive committee,
and announced in the following state
ment by J. p. Hardy, chairman, to-
day: %.
AT a meeting Of the executive
committee OF the Fargo branch,
American Red Cross, the matter of
methods of raising Red Cross funds
was brought up for discussion.
1T was the unanimous opinion OF
the committee that efforts in this
direction should be limited to volun-
tary contributions. 1t was made a
matter of record that the Fargo
branch would not participate in, nor
countenance, any entertainments
give for the purpose Of raising Red
Crosse funds. The reason for this
resolution, as brought out in the
discussions thereon, was that the
energy devoted to getting up enter
tainments and the unavoidable over
head expense would be far more
economically and efficiently bestowed
IL they were devoted directly to the
rel NFCSS 1lllkdIy 4RSAASA "SAE~s S@@~
Red Cross funds.
1T has become fundamental prin-
ciple of many organizations Of Far
60 that during the war their eftorts
would be confined to three functions,
namely. sale of Liberty bonds, sub
scriptions to Red Cross, and the 7.
NJ. c. A. war work, and this too by
direct appeal in every instance.
In fairness to those who have SO
literally given of their means TO
these three functions il seems that
all Fargo citizens should subscribe
to this method of raising war funds.
Under this method it becomes the
duty and a privilege Of every citizen
To determine, when called up for
these voluntary subscriptions, just
how much his means will allow
hinlto contribute and this, / be"
lieve, has been very generally done
by the people of Fargo. 1t would
not be fair after citizen has under
this method, subscribed what ne or
she has determined to be the limit
of his financial ability, to harass
him again with a request 10 pur-
chase tickets for entertainments, or
furnish material or supplies there7
for.
This plan will, I believe appear to
everyone who gives the matter care
full and patriotic consideration. 1t
Is undoubtedly sound from an
economic standpoint, and as chair
man of the Fargo branch OF the Red
Cross, / beg to take this opportunity
of making this as direct appear
to Fargo's entire citizenship.
Yours for the cause,

SUBMARINES NAY
SOON APPEAR OFF
AMERICAN PORTS
Naval Engineers See Pos
sible Menace In Small
British Losses
SUBMARINE CAN
. FIGHT SUBMARINE
Predicted That Great Fleet
of Contra Submarines
Will Be Built

New York, Nov. Predictions
that enemy submarines win soon APP
pear of American ports, that the
submarine will be found to be the
best antidote for the submarine, and
that the great world powers soon will
have fiotillas of "contra-submar-
ines, especially built for operating
against under-sea craft, were made
here today by speakers who address
ed the annual convention of the So
ciety of naval architects and marine
engineers.
Simon Lake, the inventor, pointed
to the fact that but one British ves-
sci OF more than 1900 tons was re-
ported sunk by German submarines
last week as an indication of possible
danger TO American shores from the
submarine menace. He cited the
transatlantic trips Of the merchant
submarine Deutschland and the ac-
tivities of the U-53 of the north At
lantic seaboard as examples Of what
is possible with the submarine.
Commander e, s. Land of the
United States navy took issue with
! Mr.. Lake when the latter said he did
not believe the submarine could be
effectively used against the submar-
inc.
"A submarine can fight a submar-
inc as well as a battleship can fight
a battleship'', said the commander.
Though he said foreign tendencies
in submarine construction were
toward displacements of 1000, 5000
and even 5000 tons, Commander
Land declared this belief that the
craft OF the 500 ton type are now
being most generally built because of
their adaptability for all year use,
The ra-submarine.
NJ. F. Hay predicted that revolu-
tionary but practicable changes IN
construction will make possible the
creation of q contra TO
combat the submarine menace.
Estimates that Germany had in
commission over 700 submarines last
May, and that she would have in SER
vice. q total OF 1000 undersea craft
| by the end OF the year, were dis
credited by Mr.. Hay.
1T does not seem possible that
Germany had more than 200 submar-
ines in commission last May, he
said. Information at hand would
indicate that the actual recent out
put has been approximately 10 sub
marines a month.
