 Between the 10th and 18th of July severe floods were experienced in the Susitna River valley. The bridges crossing the two branches of the Tal- keetna were practically destroyed, and at one time the two warehouses and the crib in front of these buildings threatened to be washed away. All available men were secured to assist in protecting Government property and the only loss sustained was the destruction of the two bridges referred to above.
 The health of the force during the month was satisfactory and only a few minor accidents occurred. The rainfall recorded at Camp 245 for July was 12.1S inches.
 There were 554 employees on the payrolls of Talkeetna District on July 3l, classified as follows: General sup ervision 5, engineering 30, office and clerical IT, foremen and subforemen ', mechanics and laborers 102, team sters, packers and corral help IA, mess house 27, stationmen 303, stationmen's laborers AT.

HIGH WATER HAMDICAPS CONSTRUCTORS
 ON TALKEETNA DIVISION DURING JULY

On account of continuous rains and extreme floods affecting the Susltna River and it's tributaries, considerable time was lost by the various station contractors and Commission employees during the month. This, together with an intermittent boat service, rendered progress slower than usual.
 Three horse-piledrivers were built by the Anchorage shops in June and shipped to the Talkeetna District. Two of these are now in service and the third is assembled and ready for operation. The first driver was placed in commission on July 3 and has driv- en to July 31 a total of 123 piles at five stations, between S960 and 9O36. The second driver began work on July 12 and drove 66 piles at four open ings, between Stations S749 and 1852. The third driver is at Talkeetna and will shortly be used to drive protec- tion piling around the wharf at that place.
 All stationmen between Sheep Creek and Montana Creek are making fair progress. It is expected that the road bed between these points will be ready for track not later than November 1, contingent, of course, upon favorable weather.
 Between Montana Creek and Tal- keetna the roadbed should be ready for track not later than December 1, in which case, unless the snowfall is exceptionally heavy, steel should reach Talkeetna on or before January next,
 North of Talkeetna, it IS expected that all work now under way will be completed this season. The work be- tween Stations 1OSS9 and 10S97 will probably be completed this year, and from 10S97 to 11095, around Dead Horse Hill, within sixty days. North of Dead Horse Hill to Indian River no grading is under way. Most of this work has been cross-sectioned, how ever, and stakes set. Camp 255 has been abandoned and Mir. F. $. Wilson, resident engineer at that point, will be stationed at Indian River making surveys for a camp site and doing other necessary detail work in con nection with a permanent camp. The clearing for the camp site is nearly finished
 At Indian River two deck scows, size l6 by 40 feet, are being constructed, one to serve as a current ferry across the Susitna River at that point, and the other to replace the bridge washed out by the recent flood at Talkeetna.
 The sawmill, under the direction of Mir. Lee Fraser, is in operation but is somewhat handicapped in getting logs to the mill by temporary shortage

A freight train of thirty ears bound
for Lewiston yesterday afternoon was
laid up in tunnel four on the hill Just
below Reubens. Eight cars were de-
rallied but no considerable damage or
injury to trainmen is reported The
cause assigned to the accident is split

the strain of the long line of cars and
eight of them ran off the track before
a stop could be made A crew from
Lewiston repaired the damage today
opening the track in time for the train
this evening.

sERG. GUTHRIE LEAVES.

Sergeant Albert Guthrie, who has
been in the city the past several weeks
recruiting for Company was called
back to headquarters of the company at
Garfield, Utah the first of the week as
under the new order of things there will
be no more recruiting for what was
formerly the National Guard which has
now been mustered into federal service
and in the regular army. However, re
cruits for the regular army are still be
ing sought and enlistments will be re-
ceived at the local post office for either
the army or navy. During his stay
hero Sergeant Guthrie secured seven re-
cruits which is a very good record.

mighty fine young chap, manly as
they make them and every inch soldier
and young man any mother can well
feel proud of. There is not a yellow
streak in him or a cowardly hair and
we are betting if the opportunity pre-
sents itself you will find Serg. Guthrie
will make such IA record as will result
in his rapid promotion.

STEINER BUYS GARAGE.

Dave Steiner. who has made a most
enviable reputation as an auto mechanic
during the year or such a matter he has
been employed in the Eimers Garage of
this city, has resigned and will 90 in
business for himself, having purchased
the Charleston garage and taken the
same over last Monday. There may be
men as good AS Steiner when it comes to
putting a machine in shape regardless
of its make but there are none better.
He goes about his work in way that
conyinces one he knows just what he is
doing and as a result getter, we would
like to see the machine he cannot get
tuned up and working just as good as
new. We predict he will build up a
fine business at Charleston and when the
people of Lewiston and vicinity learn
of his ability some of the mechanics at
the Gateway city are going to lose a
lot of work. Mr.. and Mrs. Steiner have
made many friends during their stay in
Grangeville and will be greatly missed.

Mr.. and Mrs. Sam Wright who left
here the llth of this month for an
overland trip to Canada returned last
Saturday evening having been away
two weeks and four days. The total
mileage covered on the trip according
to the speedometer was 1745.2 miles.
The route going and coming included
Spokane, Sand Point, Bonners Ferry,
The Kings Gate into British Columbia
and Calgary. The destination were Mr..
Wright has 4S0 acres of fine land is

the crops very bad in places but no
where quite as bad as here. North of
Spokane conditions were very similar
to those here. The spring crops were late
and promised very little. In the
Calgary district many fine fields of
grain were seen. In the extreme north
grain was put in late and the weather
has been unfavorable all season.

is a fine country and full of opportuni

Mr.. Wright tells IA rather amusing
story of his experience in crossing the
line. Just the day before he went
through the Kings Gate into British
Columbia he was warned by friend
not to tell the custom officer his busi-
ness for the reason that the Canadian
officials would be certain to tax him
heavily if they knew that he was cross
ing ON business. He was informed that
people crossing the line were often taxed
rs high as forty five per cent on their
automobiles and at the assessment of the
Canadian officer. So Mr.. Wright in
talking to the official told him that he
was merely taking a pleasure trip and
would refuse to pay any duty whatever.
He said that if he could not get into the
country without being taxed he would
stay out. The custom officer imme
diately passed him scot free and he went
on his way without further Interrupt

TOOK DODGE CAR TO MAKE WAY
TO SOUTH IDAHO-WERE PRE-
PARED WITH GUNS.

Last Sunday morning about 1000
sheriff's office from Colfax, Washing
ton to the effect that Dodge car stolen
from that city Saturday evening was
headed this way. A complete descrip-
tion of the outfit was given and the local
force Immediately got busy trying to
locate the two gentlemen who had so
literally helped themselves to some
body else's car. They phoned to the
Cottonwood Garage and warned them to
be on the lookout for the stolen
machine. A few minutes later the
thieves arrived at Cottonwood and drove
to the garage to buy some gas. Mr.. Van
Osdol who sold them the gas had not re.
ceived the communication from here
since an assistant in the office answered
the phone. But he was led to suspect
the men in the car because they carried
guns and they had smeared over the
number of the engine with dirt and
grease. They m9de no delay after they
obtained the gasoline but drove off in
all haste. just as they had left Mr..
Van Osdol learned the particulars of
the communications from Grangeville
and the description of the machine that
had just left corresponded exactly and
the number was the same. So he i'm
mediately phoned to Grangeville and in
formed the force here that the gentle
men We're headed this direction. Mr..
Van Osdol himself set out in pursuit
but got off the trail, following another
Dodge track. Deputies William Eller
and Tim Quinlan started out immedia-
tely to meet the young adventurers and
took them up at the Lee Yates place.
This was about 1880 o'clock.
The thieves were seen to be very
young and made no trouble in being ar
rested, although they had six-shooters
and had them handy for use. They ad.
mitted that they had intended to pick
off the deputies and avoid arrest. This
