Chehai, And NewaukuIrl
Valleys Raging Torrents

Chehslis, Wash, Jan. 23.-The Che
halls and Newaukum valleys are raging
torrents this morning, and old timers
say the present high water equals the
record established in 1888. The water
is still rising.
Rail communication is open to Port
land but there is none to Tacoma and
Seattle
Streetcar traffic here is tied up. The
rural mail carriers are unable to cover
their routes.
The damage to roads and bridges IN
the county amounts to thousands of dol
lars. Thirty feet of pavement on the
Pacific highway, five miles east of Che
halls, and small bridge were washed
out. Bridges and culverts have been
washed away in all parts of the coun-
try. The total damage cannot be esti-
mated for several days.

Ruth realized, for the first time, that
nothing counted save Brian. Money,

sire to possess him entirely; his love as
he had given il when they first came 10

the three flights Of stairs, and she did
her own work; when he used to come

whistling, and catch her in his srms and
waltz about the little living room or
kitchen.
She forgot her hatred of drudgery in
her desire. She forgot also her love of
her work. Her heart ached with the
longing for his love, and the old.time
hearty expression of it.
But she also owed something TO Man.

pensible, now, under the after-the-war

And you're doggone sure that you re

But you re skeered you won't and
afraid you will,

And pray the Lord to see you through,
For you've got the flu, boy, you We

When your toes curl up and your belt

And you re twice as mean as Thomas

And life is a long and dismal curse,
And your food all tastes like hard
boiled hearse,
When your attic aches and your head s
buzz,
And nothing is as it ever was,
Here are my sad regrets to you,
You we got the flu, boy, you've got the
flu.

AUTHORITY FOR INF
STALLAT|ON CHARGES
Public Utilities Commission
Granted Light Company
Permission Last
October

A copy of the order, issued by the
, Public Utilities Commission Of Kan
sas, granting permission to the En-
pire District Electric company to
make advance charge to their Gus
toners who might want service ex-
tensions, was promulgated on October
8, 1918, according to a copy Of the Or
der which has been received by the
Chamber Of Commerce. A letter, ac-
cOmpanying this order, says:
"As o matter of fact the order was
desired by the Empire company to
enable it to supply a large amount of
electric service to mineral camps in
Southeastern Kansas"
The Empire company asked for this
special privilege. The order shows
that spans of wire may be charged
for also, or in other words that the
consumer must loan money to the
company with which to put in the
wire the same as with poles. The Or
der says:
'On lighting extensions and power
extensions for less than horsepower,
the company will require deposit of
$50 for each pole and one span of
line, and $15 for each span Of line
without pole. The above extensions
are not to include the service drop
from the pole to the consumers en-
trance. For this service drop an ex-
ira charge of SIS will be made" which
is to be refunded to the consumer on
certain conditions. The order con-
tinues:
"The company will refund to the
consumer making such deposit at the
rate Of $3.50 of the bill for each month |
for lighting service and power ser
vice of less than horsepower, and
shall semi-annually pay interest on
the unrefunded portion of all such de-
posits at the rate of go per annum."
The order is signed by John M.
Kinkel, Chas. H. Sessions and c. F.
Foley, commissioners. 1t is supposed
that prior to the issuing of the order
notice was served on the city clerk of
Baxter Springs that the hearing
would be held, but this fact has not
yet been ascertained.

A great strike has been started IN
Seattle, WASH, and about fifty Rus
sian Bolshevists have been ARRESTED
by United States officers and carried
in a special train closely guarded tO
the Atlantic sea-board for depOrta-
tion.
We are fully as capable Of manag-
ing our affairs as are Russian rob
bers and while the United States gov
ernment may be doing the right thing
in sending these Bolshevists-anarch-
ists-back home, we would rather they
were sent to Fort Leavenworth for a
few years of good hard honest labor.
In the last analysis the man who
works is the man who can and does
acquire, possess and enjoy property;
and the man who is unwilling to work
should be given his choice-work or
starve. The man who breaches that
this world owes him living without
any other effort than eating good food
cooked by another and wearing clothes
made by others should be just turned
out in a wilderness like the wild
beasts and compelled to live with his
kind, and like his kind.
Workmen have rights. and the labor
er is worthy of his hire, but, the men
who are making the most noise about
the wrongs Of labor are not laborers
or workmen at all. They are so-called
labor leaders-dangerous loafers and

labor to cover their crimes intended.
