Mississippi Onhs A«m..l San.-| |g ||£p||Q|[^£pY i.t «r3 Memphis, Tenn., Aprils, —On its fannual fiood tVirough the central section of the country, the Mississippi river tonight, had made compartivel.y little progpss toward that stage which inight spell disaster for residents along more than 1,-000 miles of water front. Some encouragement comes from points along the recently flooded Ohio, ’^here gauge read ings show that stream falling. At Cincinnati the stage at seven o’clock tonight was 61 feet, a fail of 2. 3 since 7 o’clock this morning. At Louisville the reading was 48.8, a fall of 1, and aX Cairo, 54.7, where it has been hovering far^hours. The Cairo situation, however, is complicated by a raise in the Mississippi at St. Louis, where the river at 7 o''clock tonight, stood at 23 1, a raise of 9 since the same hour this morning. Below Cairo the gauge also shows the flood is slowly swelling. At New Madria, 63.9 feet was shown a a rise.of one-tenth; at Mem phis, 43 feet or, six-tenths above the figur’es this morning, and at Vicksburg, 43.3, or four-tenths h'gher. mmm of boat Strike Declared. Buffalo, N. y., April 6.—A strike was declared today on the lines of the International Rail way Company which operates the street car service in Buffalo, Nigara Falls, Lockport and sev eral smaller nearby towns. Eighty per cent of themotormen and conductors struck, according to the organization officials, al though the street railway officials say less than 100 of their 1,700 men responded to the strike call. The men demanded an increase of from five to seven cents an hour, a rearrangement of work ing hours and recognition of their union. Several disorderly scenes marked the opening hours of the strike and tonight Presi-' dent Gonnette of the Interna- tional called upon the sheriff to take all lawful means to protect the property. Application was made to Justice Pooley of the Supreme Court for an injunction to restrain the men from acts of violence and steps were taken to make a demand for troops if the situalion warrants such a move. Bay City, Oregon., April 7.— Eighteen men v/ere drowned by the capsizihg yesterday of the German bark, Mimi which had just been hauled off the beach at North Spit, Nehalom Bty, where she had been since February 13. when she went ashore. After futile efforts for nearly 24 hours against a heavy wind and sea, the life-saying crew from Gari baldi station succeeded at five o’clock this morning in saving Capt Charles Fisher of Portland president of the Fisher Engineer ing Corporation, Capt. J. West- phal, mastsr of the xMimi and two sailors. Rossell Blackman, secretary of the Fisher li^ngineering Corpora tion; W. E. Koen, a contracting plumber of Portland and J. E. Holyfleld, superintendent of the Brighton Mill at Brighton. Ore., are among those .drowned. They were aboard the Mimi directing the efforts to haul her off the spit. The survivors said that only seven men were ief.t on board the Mimi after she turned turtle. A cabin boy and a sailor lashed themselves to the mast where their bodies now hang. The Mimi is a total wreck. Lit tle will be saved for her owners or insurers. Captain Westphal was too weak tonight to make an extend ed statement but attributed the disaster to a mistake on the part of the man in charge of a dinkey engine on shore which was being used in the effort to float the vessel. This engine, he gave a suddent pull on the cable, throw ing the Mimi broadside to the sea and the ship was overturned by a wave before those o i board had a chance to save themselves. No bodies have been recovered. BljHLINGTON OFfiCIES Jop. H. Freeland W. P. Ireland, T. S. Faucette, • A. A. Apple, W. P. Dailey. H. C. Stout, J. G. Rogers, Eugene Holt, J. L. Scott. Jas. P.

C., April 10. — According to estimate made by those who have made a survey of the situation, the cold weather and accompanying frosts of the past 48 or 60 hours, have cut off early vegetable crops in Mount Olive’s territory at least 50 per cent. This means a total loss to the farmers of not less than $50,- 000; and this is said to be a very conservative estimate. Practically the entire bean crop was destroyed, with the season pretty well advanced for a second planting, though it is said a num ber of farmers will make a se cond attempt to raise a crop. The damage to the Irish pota to crop caimot be so accurately estimated. It is generally be-, lieved, however, that whether the ground around potatoes had not recently been broken, the potatoes suffered no very great damage except a considerable set back as they will in mcs‘. inst ances come right out again; but ed will u questional ly reduce to i where the ground had recently a minimum the I reaking into rail-1 been brokei it is believed the po- way cars and the stealing of tatoes suffered .more serious freight and express packiges. Complaints of this nature have in the pa.t few years been of such frequent occurrence that this new law became a necessity damage, and it isv,as yet prob- lementical as to whether they are a totalloss or notf> It is claimed that the total; straw berry, yield 'as teen reduce We have for quick s^le one of the most desirable homes on West Davis Street, lot 103x32f, entire fenced, new picket^fence in front. 9 rooms nice ly finished, 2 hails, 1 bath room complete, large spacious porch, fine shade, ample outhouses, good gardening ground, facing Norheast, and to one wanting a permanent home we believe this will meet the requirements.
