TO WATER CONSUMERS
The weira, or overflows, between our settling basins cannot
. be used in winter because of the ice. .These weirs are responsible v
for the effective settling of the water and if, as is usually the.
case, they can La put into service before high water follows the
breaking up of the river in - the early spring, there "is little
trouble with sediment. This year,, however, the .break-up, was
v accompanied by a high river,-which, aggravated by the sudden
melting of the big February ' snow, produced badly discolored
water before the ice in the basins melted sufficiently to permit
: i, , , I i
the use of the weirs.
The situation is now fast improving and our consumers may
expect the restoration of normal conditions very shortly.

CHARGES EVILS ; TO PRESIDENT
Says Senate and Heaee Have Been
Absolutely Subservient te the
White House Deuhle
Dealing Alleged.
WASHINGTON, March 14. Citing what
lie claimed to be "cold blooded facts," to
show executive respoDalblllty for many of
the evila which exist. Senator Tillman In a
speech mado In the senate today said:
"In the same category of. 'keeping the
worK of commerce to. the ear and break
ing them to .the hope' if the newapapera
are to be believed, he te Wen now planning
a truce with these same ilch malefactora
and is ready to grant anneaty to all past
trust offenders. In tfr most pronounced
language he has denounced the combina
tion between labor organisations and the
boycott, but on the ve of an election
panders to this same, vote by demandlngy
changes in the lay aa - Interpreted by the
supreme ' court. Organised labor Is to be
relieved from the: prohibition of the su
preme ctourt'a decisions, but along with' tt
must go the relief of; capital. . Once re
lieved, 'the malefactors of great wealth
will smile" tn' triumph over their victory
while labor will find , Itself no freer than
before." . .
Mr. Tillman charged many of the evlla
In connection wKh the recent financial
flurry to the president and hla administra
tion, and Bald: , ,
"These are only a , few of the achieve
ments of thla 'uncrowned king.' With
othera of hla kind he lias created a Frank
enstein monster, wnioh unassisted by the
blood of suicide and feara of heart broken
women, threaten to devour and consume
hla creatora who are, able to quench hla
thirst by torrenta Of gold poured out by the
federal treaaury." '
He charged the aenate and house with
absolutely subservience to the wlshea of
the chief executive. "Servility and coward
Ice are the order of the day;" he declared.
Mr. Tillman also asserted that every
effort waa being made to control the negro
vote, and coming back td the charge of
favoritism on the part of the president
towards the wealthy, he said:
"The poor fools who were shouting hla
praises ' have so far failed to understand
that the bad government which tho re
publican party has given the country Is
due solely to the Ignorance and debauchery
of the people. Misled and deceived by the
newspapers which are owned by theae rich
rren, labor organised ' and disorganised
trails along behind the banner of republi
canism and shouts for RooBevelt and hla
policies. The millona who have been robbed
are' equally as enthusiastic, as the million
aires who have been benefited. The
capacity of the people to govern themselves
wisely and protect their Interests la seri
ously called into question by existing con
ditions. The money which came by dis
honest and unfair methods is used to con
trol the machinery ot nomination at Chi
cago." .'
Feara Methods Employed.
"The price of negro delegates in the
south rises day by day. The office holding

The second of the mammoth artesian
wells which the United States government
Is drilling on the ahorea of Lake Andes, In
Charlea Mix county, Is rapidly hearing
completion, and before the close of the
present week the final flow Is expected to
be struck. The first flow waa struck a
few days ago at a depth of 710 feet. The
contractor thought It best to drill the well
about fifty feet deeper Into the water bear
ing rock which forms the great artesian
basin underlying South Dakota, and thla
work now la in progress. The well Is situ
ated on the upper end of the lake. When
It Is drilled fifty feet deeper It Is believed
a flow much stronger than that in the
other well at the lower end of the lake will
be struck. The full flows from both wells
will run Into Lake Andes day and night
and make It one of the finest bodies of
w,ater In South Dakota. The two wells

PORTLAND, Ore., . March 16.-Ttot in
many a year have oo many points in the
Pacific northwest all at tho aamS time
laced such serloQs damage from flood aa
they 'do today. Front last Fradayj until
now heavy rain a have fallen over the: whole
of the northwest and every rivulet la a
roaring torrent and every river is a lake.
Bridges Lave been washed out or dyna
mited, railroad tracks are under water and
when traffic I not delayed by these disas
ters huge landslides block the way.
The most s-'rlous reports come from
Walla Walla. Mill creek, which flows
through that city, nearly every winter goes
on a rampage, but at present it is out
doing previous records and has caused
wholeBale destruction of business In gen
eral and destroying several houses.
Next In point of seriousness Is the alt
uatlon at Pendleton. Although the leveea
built after last year'a floods are still hold
ing, there la fear that they are becoming
undermined. In ' this case the town will
suffer serious damage
In the Leadston, Idaho, country railroad
tracks are reported under water, bridges
washed out and fears are entertained that
the water works which supply that city
will be flooded and the supply of drinking
water shut or. Many families have been
driven from the lowlands.
Damage in Washington. N
The Touchet and Patlt rivers have washed
out the city dike at Dayton, Wash. In
western Washington the rivers around
Seattle and Tacoma are still rising, but
little damage has resulted so far.
The-Willamette river and Ita tributaries
are running like a mlllrace above Salem,
but no damage,- has resulted.
As Is usual during tho flood conditions
the railroads are" numbered among the
principal sufferers.-, The worst of these Is
the Oregon" Railway and . Navigation, the
Union Pacific system, which haa not been
able to send-a train through for the last
thirty-six hours. This road Is blocked prin
cipally by heavy landslides east and west
of Pendleton.
Train service in the neighborhood of
Walla Walla and from Lewlston north is
at a standstill. .- t
The prospects today are that conditions
throughout tho three states will be worso
Instead of bettor. According to the last
forecast a new storm, which made Ita ap
pearance off Vancouver island Sunday
morning, is now moving across the Pacific
northwest and will cause general rains
throughout the district.
