HEAVY RAINFALL CAUSES STREAMS
 10 RISE QUICKLY

The exceptional heavy rain storm which hit this section of Kenai Pen- insula Saturday afternoon and even ing, caused all rivers and creeks to suddenly rise and for time the as pect was serious. Out along the Alas ka Road Commissions highways the water arose so fast ttat in many plac- es the water was level with the roads and flowing over in other places.
 Locally, Lowell Creek started on small sized rampage and today the channel which was dredged q couple of weeks ago is level with the sur rounding ground, the sides having been washed down into the bay.
 Early Saturday evening, Lowell Creek began rising as the volume of rain in the mountains began coming down to the lower levels. At midnight the water at First Avenue began cut ting a new channel towards the north.
 The wing dam billing caught the debris and kept the water in the new and old channel within bounds to a certain degree. More rain fell about 10 o'clock and the water became mud dy. The water going through the mains of the electric company clogg- cd them and off went the power. Low I'll creek by this time had risen Scv- cral feet. More rain then came down. The electric power was again turned on but at ? o'clock Sunday morning the old creek, then was a muddy rush ng strcamS began playing havoc and shortly afterwards the electric power went off for good and the word was rasSed around that the glacier stream needed attention.
 Men were called and began patroll- .ng. Shortly after daybreak debris be- gan collecting at the railroad track near the bay and the big derrick and d special crew of men were hustled out and two bentS lifted out in order hat jam would not form. Water be- gan cutting it's way around the elec- ric light plant and more railroad men we're called and these were soon au- gumented by citizens; all working at
 ariouS places along the stream 50 ,eep it within bounds and within pre- per limits. Heavy planking was haul ,d and nailed to the piling making a vingdam.
 The approach to the Third avenue bridge on the north side went out about 7:3O o'clock yesterday morning hen theThird avenue water main DroSe. Attention was paid to the Four tn avenue bridge and planking nailed the piling keeping the water from outing away the dirt approaches to the bridge.
 All day men worked along the ,tream and gangs were kept on the 'ailroad tracks keeping the stream rom suddenly changing and also digg ing away james which formed,
 The rain stopped its intermittent alling about noon and the water be- gan SubSiding but remained rushing lOrcing stream.
 Last night at S:3O o'clock a section rev was brought in from Mile IT to relieve the crew in the railroad yards md the men kept at work until morn ng watching the stream.
 Aside from the washing away Of he north side plank approach to the Third Avenue bridge, breaking the water main, obliterating the dredgcd hannel and flooding the electric light plant to some extent, little other dam- lge was done. The creek bed was low red about five feet in many places and the bank on the north side of the stream west of Third Avenue was

SEEK ALLIED AID
Anti-Belsheyik Governments
Spring Up Everywhere.
All Seek Recognition by the
Allied Governments.
ARMS SENT CzECHS ALREADY
United States Government Now
Considering Action.
President Holds Important
Conference at Washington.

Washington, July 25.-On the eve of
expected action in Siberia, the allies
are confronted by demands for recog-
milton from new anti-Bolsheviki gov
ernments springing up all over Russia.
It is indicated in diplomatic quart
ers, however, that the allies will pur-
sue a course of officially recognizing
no particular government but Will
work thru the people as whole.
A visit by President Wilson to the
state department today plus unusual
reticence within the department on
the subject of the Siberian project led
to belief that Japan has officially re-
ported on her attitude toward the plan
and that the first move in the AID 10
Russia program is about to be taken.
Advance information of Japan's reply
indicated it would be favorable.
While the president was still closet
ed with Acting Secretary Polk, they
were Joined by Secretary Baker. The
British ambassador. Lord Reading, ar
rived later 1t was believed he desired
word of Japan's action.
The president was closeted WIN
Polk and Baker an hour. He left the
building without comment as to the
purpose of his visit.
Already Aiding Czecho- -Slovaks.
That the allies have already extend
ed aid to the CzechO- -Slovaks, was
learned today. Large numbers OF
French OII1CeTS nave diIl III 1900
vostok and some have taken COM
mand of Czech brigades. Financial alo
has been extended thru these othcers
by the French government, 1t was
said
The Czechs also have been armed
and supplied with guns and munltlons
taken from the huge stores at Nlad1-
vostok.,. Continued successes in locali-
ties dominated by the CZechs are re-
norted in adVices received here IN
no locality have the Germans and Bol-
sheviki been able to re-establish them
selves after once having been ousteo-
The Czechs, however, are MAINTAIN
ing absolute neutrality as far as IN
terfering in Russian politics IS con-
cerned The action is purely oe1en-
sive and none of the mushroom gov
ernments which have sprung up over
night have received any paruallty, the
cables declared.
Two of these-the Hovarth govern
ment at Harbin, and Sociahstlc gov
ernment at Vladivostok-have asked
France. England and the United
states for recognition, it was authort-
tatively learned today. France imme-
diately refused to deal with the gov
ernments.
A message TO the state department
here asking gfoE recognition has not
been acted uponsby Secretary Lansing
Il was stated.
Both the Hovarth and the Vladi-
vostok governments claim to be affili-
ated with a third anti-Bolsheviki re-
giTne which is ruling from Omsk.
