POWER PLANT HAS
TROUBLES OF ITS own

With the Prospect power plant out
of commission duo to repairs to the
power wheel. with the line over the
Siskiyous connecting with the Fall
creek and klamath river power
plants broken on the summit OF the
mountains by falling tree Satur-
day evening, the work OF lighting
and heating the valley was thrust
upon the Gold Ray plant, whose ca
pacity Is less than half OF the power
required. and whose operation was
twice interrupted Sunday afternoon
by hunters who In their boats drifted
into the mill race feeding the power
wheels. two boats being crushed
against the screens. while one hunter
had n narrow escape from drowning
in the Icy water and was rescued by
the power house crew. the fragments
OF the boats being pulled out by
block and tackle. II was nearly 10
O'Clock Sunday evening before the
break in the Sislsiyous was repaired
and normal power conditions re-
stored.
At $40 O'Clock Saturday evening,
with a snow storm raging on the
Sisklyous, a huge tree fell across the
power line. smashing connections on
three towers and breaking the line,
plunglng the entire valley into dark
ness. Within a quarter of an hour
the break had been located, and the
Gold Ray emergency plant connected
up with all systems. However II was
able to supply only o portion OF the
juice required, although all the wa
ter In the stream was utilized and
the water drawn several feet below
the level OF the dam.
Trouble crews left Ashland al
daybreak, but It was O'Clock be-
fore the scene OF the break was
reached, 1S inches OF snow making
travelling difficult over the noun
tains. The men worked steadily un
I'll 10 o'clock mending the break.
During the afternoon, duck hun
ter on the lake above Gold Ray wal
caught In the suction OF the curren'
caused by the draft on the waters O
the lake, and carried swiftly dowi
the mill-race feeding the powe'
wheels. His boat was crushed lik'
an eggshell against screens, by thu
suction OF the waters, but he clung
half drowned to supports, yelling
Justify for help. The power hous
crew rescued him, but block ant
tackle was necessary to pull out tn
wreckage. which was cutting off tn
water supply by blocking the screen
An hour later second boat, who's
occupant had escaped, was ais,
crushed In the same manner,-Med

was still easily visible, and taking
careful aim through his sights the
''blimp's" gunner pulled the trigger
OF the releasing gear.
The airship, released of heavy
weight, shot up like an express ele-
vator in New York skyscraper. but
careless of its movements its occu-
pants hung over watching the bomb
sink swiftly until 1t struck the water,
perhaps 200 feet ahead Of the tar
get.
When It's fuse came into action, a
flash of lightning seemed to rip
through the dark depths of the ocean
and a peculiar brown. cloudy mass
enveloped the fore part Of the
U-boat.
II seemed ages before the effect
of the explosion reached the sur
face. Then. like geyser, the water
shot into the air. In the center of
the disturbance the gaping hull of
the submarine slowly appeared and
It's crew could be seen leaping over
board. Nn
By this time two British motor
launches were racing to the spot. but
they fortunately were far enough
away to escape the effects of ter
rifle explosion which now occurred
The magazine OF the U-boat had been
fired, and with succession Of
mighty detonations the whole craft
was literally blown to pieces.
The occupants of the "blimp'
were badly shaken, but they escaped
without injury.

YANKEES RULE IN
CITY Of C0BLENz
u. S. Sentries Posted on Bridges
Over Rhine.
TAKE CHARGE OF BARRACKS
Other Buildings Evacuated by the Ger
man Troops Also Taken over by
the American Forces-knoWn
as German Gibraltar.

COblenZ. Dec 11.-COblenZ is under
the complete military control of the
Americans, with the municipal au-
thorities cooperating.
At the CObIenZ end of the three
bridges across the Rhine American
sentries were posted.
The American forces took charge or
the barracks and other buildings evac-
uated by the German troops.
The American forces comprised the
Second battalion of the Thirty-nlnth
infantry which arrived Tuesday after
noon In answer to request from the
German authorities. The reception or
the Americans was most friendly.
Yanks Reach Rhine.
Washington, Dec 1.-The Ameri-
can army of occupation marching into
Germany, has reached the Rhine, Cen
eral Pershing under date of Monday
night reported.
"The American Third army, con-
tinuing it's advance into Germany to-
day reached the Rhine from Roland
seek to Brohl, and at nightfaH was on
that general line" General Pershing
says.
Occupy Aix-La-Chapeiie.
Cologne. Dec. 11-French and Amer
lean troops officially entered Aix-La-
Chapelle and took over the occupation
of that German city from the Bel
gians. Allied flags were flown in the
Frederick William place, where the al
lied generals assembled to take the
salute of the troops.
Order has been re-established in
Cologne as the result of the arrival of
an advance guard of British troops.
There had been several days of the
keenest anxiety in the city caused by
extensive riots and pillaging on the
part of mObs of the lower classes, with
attendant blOOdshed, when the turbu
lent element clashed with hastily or
ganized guards of responsible citizens
armed with rifles and machine guns.
The disorders began after the with
drawal of the German troops from the
city.
Bolsheviki Cause Riots.
According to BurgOmaster Adenauer,
the trouble was due in part to the
freshly inculcated bolshevik idea
among the populace that it was need
less to work any longer.
The regular police were unable to
handle the situation and 5000 of the
citizens were called and armed by the
fight between the rioters and this civic
guard resulted in several of the riot
ers being killed.
