Wfcjr the Colvllle Teller »• Flooded.
Coiruuta, April 11.—[Special.j—A repe
tition of the floods of last rear in the
Cclville ralley hare been threatened for
the past two weeks. Last year was the
Urst of the floods In the history of the vai
and this second Inundation has
brought forth an investigation as to the
•aow of the sadden change. Loon lake is
• beautiful sheet of water, lira miles long
by two miles wide. It ie the source of the
Col villa river, and Is situated on the sum
mit of the range, about midway between
Colrllle and Spokane, on the Spokane
Fails A Northern railfray. At the north
and of tha lake la a marshy flat of
many acree, and trickling through the
vaede the waters gather here to form the
small stream that glres rise to the Colrllle
river. It is at this point that a farmer of
tha roetie typo has claimed a portion of
tha publla domain, and by his industry
and toil Is endearoriug to better his con
dition in the good old way. In order to
reclaim the marshy lands at the lower end
of the lake thia farmer cut a drainage
ditch through the hill below aud tapped
tha lake upon a twenty-foot level. This
great volume of weter turned looee readily
found Ita way to the level of the valley,
and tha river, being a sluggish stream,
could not convey the great surplnsage
down Its entire course before nearly every
Book and corner had been flooded, and
great lakelets remained along the hills
and othsr places all summer. It
was presumed tbat the difficulty was
only temporary, but thia year the hay
makers were again surprised. This time
the eame result was obtained through
somewhat different circumstances. It
aaems that ths outlet to the lake, before it
wse tampered with, wsa seepage through
tha bogs and gravelly subsoil, all of which
was amply protected from the extreme
Cold of winter. Since the ditch ras dug
the small rolume of water that naturally
flows from the lake gradually froze in the
channel until it had been rilled with solid
aubetance to it original height; and. thea,
when the spriag thaw came, the floodgate
was opened again, snd ths thousands of
acres of ralley lands below were couvcrted
Into a veritable lake.

THE HARD TIMES THE ISSUE,
laiaalhali Oer. Vlavsa
PoßTiuwa, April 11.—The Bepublicnn
state eoaveatioa today adopted tha foilow
ing platform:
"The rs press n tat ivss of the RepabUcaae
of the state of Oreroe, in convention as
sembled, call attention ta tha coaditioae of
industry aad business throughoat the
country aa proof of the necessity of re
ts rning to the policy of the Republican
party, nnder which there was general
prosperity daring thirty years.
"We reaffirm tha principled of the Ee
publican nstional platform of lUfti, aad
assert that the reeulte that bare tallowed
the change decreed by the electiona of that
year have justified our protest against tha
national policy announced by the Demo
cratic party. We affirm that a policy of
consistent protection is nsceasary for tha
advancement and conaervation of oar in-
dnstrial interests; tor tbt amtuet to
labor of Mttdr employment and adcqntM
viitf; for tha promotion ud maintenance
of prosperity, local mad general. We point
to ;iM past and to the contrast famished
br th« present in support of this claim.
End we ovnsure and condemn the Derno
sratie tariff programme aa developed ia
congress as highly injurious to the pro
ductive and industrial interacts of tha
country, and .n particular as hurtful to
thosa of our own state. Wa denounce tha
action of the Democratic party in coagrasa
for ita discrimination against tha pro
ducers in our helds. forests and minea, and
in favor of particular claaaea of manu
facturers, chiefly of tha East, and of
special interests In tha South.
"Wa reaffirm tha doctrxnaaof tha Bo
publican party in relation to money, aa
stated in ita national platform of 1981,
particularly as follows, to-wit: 'The
American people, from tradition and in
terest, favor bi-metalliam, and tha Re
publican party demanda tha aea of both
gold and silver aa standard money, with
such reatrictions and under auch provis
ions, to bs determined by lagialauon, as
will secure the maintenance of parity of
valuee of the two metals, so tbat tha pur
chasing and debt-paying power of the
dollar, whether of ailver, gold or paper,
sbsil be at all times equal. Tha intereeta
of the producers of the country, ita farm
ers and workingmen, demand that every
dollar, paper or ooirf 4 issued by the gov
ernment shall be as good aa any other.'
We commend the efforta made by our gov
ernment hitherto to secure an Interna
tional conference to adopt such measures
as will insure parity of value between gold
and aiiver throughout tha world, and call
unon it to renew and to continue auch
efforts.
"The construction of the Nicaragua
canal is of the highest importance to the
American people, both as a measure of
national defense and to build ap and
maintain American commerce. It la,
moreover, ot special Importance to our
Pacific states, and wa favor ita conatruo
t.on aa speedily as possible by tha govern
meat of the United Statea.
'•We demand tha enactment of rigid re
strictions on foreign immigration, both for
the protection of our country againat
illiterate and vicioua classss from foreign
lands and for the protection of our labor
and preservation to our own people of tha
remainder of our national domain; and to
these ends wa call for a suitable capitation
tax upon all immigrauta.
"In our state affairs wa demand tha
closest scrutiny and economy in expendi
tures.
"We commend the policy of the Repub
lican party in relation to internal improve
ments, and in particular in ooeniag our
waterways to commerce, and we denounoe
the Uiiberality of the Democratic party in
these important matters."

tael tins of opiam, valued at aaariy $3,000,
were seized by the easterns officers this
morning on tha steamer Quean when aha
docked from Victoria and Paget eoaad
poiata. The customs inspectors, ia geiag
throagh tha steamer's baggage and freight,
were not at all saspickraa wbaa two cases
marked "Rev. Father Meadotia, Molokal,
Hawaiian Islaada" were reached. The
ebipment waa consigned to John IX
Sprockets Bros. Company and the way
bill described the contents aa "books sad
clothing, value 185." Rev. Father Mendo
lin is the Catholic priest in charge of the
Hawaiian leper settlement en the island
of Molokai, and tba casea were ta be for*
warded to him on. one of Sprockets' broth
ers'steamers. At tint Deputy Burve> or
Ruddell was inclined to pass the cases
without search. They were innocent
looking, and than the contente were
"books and clothing" for the lepers. He
half turned nway, aad thea changed hie
mind. "We may as well take part of tha
caver off" said ha to his assistant, and it
was dona. The neat and uniform manner
in which the books and clothing wera
packed aroused his suspicion, and n
thorough search was made. Under the
top packing six small boxes were found,
and when they were opened 100 five-tael
tins of opium were found ta each. Tha
second case was opened, and it alao was
found to be carefully packed. Only two
boxes, containing 100 tins each, were
found in it, the rest of the space being
taken up with booke and ctothinc. An
inveetigation of tha ship's manifest waa
then made and the two casea were found
to bsve been shipped by C. U. McNiff, of
Victoria, B. C. Ot course the intention of
the smugglers was not to sell the opium in
San Francisco. Here they would only
make a profit of about |5 a ponad, but ia
Hawaii, where the drug is worth S4O a
pound, their profita would have been enor
moua. Had the casee pasaed the custom
house officials here the chances are they
would hsve passed muster in Honolulu
and would thus have been safely landed.
The seizure la the largest that baa been
made in San. Franctsoo tor over a year.
Opium was also found on the Asiatic and
Balgic. Altogether 209 tins of contraband
drug were seised by Collector Wise's men
this morning. It is valued at over 96,000.

cessions fro tbe Northern Pacific Rail
road Company, has never gone into the
various lumber combines which from time
to time have been organued or fostered by
tbe Pacifio Pine people. The former com
pany has stuck to its rail shipments and
hss lead all competitors in that line. Col.
Griggs says:
"We hare established ourselvee under
the Dickens Lumber Company at San
Francisco, of which lam president We
shall stock our vard there at once, and ex
pect to handle 30,000,000 feet of fir and red
wood per year to begin with. We are
already established at Los Angeles, and
already handle 10.000,000 feet «nnua ly.
We may go farther south and tap the
country beyond Port Harford. Our cargo
business will bs looked after from San
Francisco principally, and at very low
tieures we look for a good business. Two
vessels will be put on at once to carry
lumber from Tacorna to San Francisco.
We do not expect to go into trade dosrn
tbe Cosst as a disturbing element"
The mill of the SC Paul and T»oom»
Lumber Company here bu a capacltr of
230,000 feet per day, and in order to ban
die the cargo business, as veil as the rait
trade, the company will have to hare an
other mill of equal capacity. Col. Griggs
will not discuss the new mill project at
present.

has gone forth because Charles Towne.

per cent. Thui there is a cut of 20
cents per thousand, which atter de
ducting 5 per cent commission for
Mr. Towne, ctres the Eastern buyer the
advantage* of 15 cents per thousand. Thi«
is very important to shingletnen and sev
eral have ended upon Mr. Towne to de
clare him«e!f either as a shingle deader or
as the editor and proprietor of a lumber
journal.
Some hive b*en told Mr. Town* will
come out as a dealer in shingles.
