of the Spokane river is the only

ers along the St. Joe and Occur
d'Alene rivers has been thoroughly
demonstrated. The immense sums
which have been expended for dix
ing have proved of no avail. AL
though these dikes might give pro-
lection enough against the ordt-
nary spring freshets. this spring has
shown that they will not avail in
extreme high water.
The great pressure behind the i'm
mense volume Of water is more than
the ordinary dirt dixie can stand
even II the water does not go over
the top and once let it go over and
there is no saving it. The dixie
melts away like So much sugar in
spite of anything that can be done.
The first one to go was the one
around the Goose Heaven Lake pro-
ject near Mission Point. This went
Sunday afternoon and before the
water had reached the top Of the
dixie. AS the back water crept up
along the dixie the dirt softened un-
til all at once the water broke thru
and in a few minutes the breach was
ten feet wide and the water pour
ing through like mill race.
\ The Butler Bay project was the
next one to go. The water broke
through in two places at almost the
same time shortly after seven o.
clock Monday morning. great
deal Of pains had been taken with
the dixie and good sod had been
formed on It so there was no dan
ger Of washing and it was thought
that It would hold II any would.
The water might go over it but
it was not thought possible for the
dyke to give way and yet as soon as
the water commenced to run over 1t
the dixie rapidly melted away at
those places-the dirt Dissolved like
salt.
The Riverdale and Meadowhurst
dikes went out in the order named,
the latter holding out until late
Tuesday afternoon. The people
worked hard to save these and al
though the task seemed hopeless
there was no let up in either case
until the water had actually gone
over the top and breach had been
made In the dikes and a flood of wa
ter was going through that no hui
man force could stop.
Shortly after the last dixie had
gone and all the damage had been
done that was possible the weather
turned colder and the river began
to fall. 1t is impossible to give an
idea of the damage done. Not only
are the. two sawmills. the shingl'
mill and the two box factories flood
ed out, the machinery under watel
and the lumber piles flooded but al
the ranchers and truck farmers II
the drainage districts and on th'
bottom land along the river hav'
been driven out and their crops GOV

many instances their houses and on
buildings have been swept away o
overturned.
Nearly twelve thousand acres o
rich farming and hay lands in tn
st. Joe valley alone are covered wit
water in some instances from ten t

sent outlook it seems doubtfu
whether the water will go down i

Fishing Trip and Shots Are
Fired at Her Companion.

Attracted by several pistol shots
coming from the vicinity of Newcas
tie and n streets shortly after two
o'clock yesterday afternoon, the po
lice FASTENED to the scene expecting
to find several persons wounded but

The woman, who is about twenty
three years of age, said that she was
the. wife of Il ee -pyiscol who. is -em
ployed as a boss carpenter by J. G
Councilman, a contractor for Lang anC
Orr.
Driscol, whom she says is extreme
ly jealous of her, had followed her
from their home at 1909 Reynolds
street, where she had left her chill
dren while she went fishing, and she
was in the act of gathering some fish
bait at the river front when Carr me-
up with her just as the husband ap
peared. and commenced 10 shoot
Driscol escaped from the scene be
fore the police arrived and later
cashed a check at one of the banks
for balance of his salary, amount
ing to little more than $12.
Up to a late hour last night the
pistol user had not been captured
while Carr was arrested for his part
in the fracas, but was later released
on bond.
Immediately after firing the shots
at Carr, Driscol turned on the WON
an, whom, it is stated, he struck with
the butt end of his revolver, inflict
ing slight wound on her forehead.
1t was also learned that Carr, who
rented a room in the same house With
the Driscols, was also employed as 9
carpenter on the same work of Nbuild
ing four dwellings at the corner OF
Union and G streets, and that the
suspicion which Driscol maintained
was aroused by letter said to have
been written by his wife, which came
into his hands several days ago.

Bankers Notified to Report Per-
SONS Who Intimidate.
Subscribers.
PROSECUTIONS WILL FOLLOW
Statement Is Issued Requesting
Report OF Names to Be Used
in Stern Campaign Against
Enemy Agents.

Washington, Oct. 1S.-Secretary
McAdoo issued a statement late this
evening to all banks in the United
States requesting the bankers to re
port to him the names of any persons
attempting to intimdatc them in con
nection with making subscriptions to
the Liberty loan, assuring each that
prosecutions will follow to the fullest
extent of the law.
The Treasury Department today has
under wav stern campaign of re
preston against the enemy agents
guilty of attempts to incite popular
feeling against the Liberty loan. The
action is based on reports forwarded
to- officials here. In some parts OF
the Middle West efforts to diSparage
subscriptions to the loan have been
especially noticeable. Surreptitious
activities of the seditious individuals
it is said, have extended even to the
national capital
Charges of propagandists that the
men of the national army bitterly op
posed the war were amply refuted by
an announcement that army subscrip
tions already total $26 100000.
ProGerman depositors of banks in
some localities, it is reported, haN
endeavored to intimidate the institu
tions from assisting the loan by re
moving their accounts. Certain pub
lications, it is claimed, have printed
editorials unsympathetic to the loan
and many cases have been reported
where property owners arbitrarily
have refused to permit campaign pos
ters to be placed on their property. 4
