Additional military forces were brought in to quell the Egyptians, who were in an ugly mood The riots followed circulation of a report that a Greek had killed a native Attacks were begun against Europeans and it was reported that many resi- dents of the European quarter were killed. There was much incendiarism and it is feared that some persons wene burned to death. British troops were rushed to Alex andria to restore order and armored cars were put at the disposal of the Egyptian police. A special dispatch from Cairo to the Evening News said that a state approaching anarchy pre- vails at Alexandria and that firing was continuous.

Sweeping northward toward Grangeville, the water came like a tidal wave,swiftly, and in great volume. Soon Dry creek was overflowing its banks. When the wave reached the rear of con- |erete buildings lining the south side of Main street, between Hall and State streets, the conduit which passes underneath Main street, and through which the creek flows, was unable to carry the large volume. The concrete buildings served as a great dam, behind which the excessive flow |of water was imponded. The | water continued to rise until it reached the level of the street. Then more water came, until Main street was in many places |inundated two feet, while on either side, vacant lots, which lie far beneath the level of the graded street, lay submerged sixteen feet. Like Niagara Falls Strong pressure from the art- ificial lake, which had been form- ed in a few minutes, crashed in windows and doors leading from the rear of the buildings into the basement, and water gushed through the apertures like a miniature Niagara. Flooding Main street, the wat- er poured into business houses on the north side of the street, Walter McAdams proprietor of the Main street garage, on the north side, relieved the situation somewhat when he opened wide the doors of the garage, lowered 1 ever. 37k = Hoene ie ——— | | a OS Simon Bros.

A ride in a £921 Buick will dem- onstrate this Buick reliability, and make you realize why more Buicksare in operation today than any other car, with one exception. Since January 1, regular equipment on all models includes Cord Tires basement, and thus permitted the river to sweep through the building, and back into the bed of Dry @eek, which flows be- neath the garage. Plunging down the elevator shaft, the flood formed a veritable water- fall. Observing that thousands of dollars of merchandise was im- periled by the flood, P. M. Glan- ville, proprietor of the Glanville! Drug company, with Dale Eim- ers, a high school boy, entered the basement to place the stock | on top of boxes, in order that it | would not be damaged. Appar- ently Mr. Glanville was not of | the opinion the flow of water) was so heavy that it would en-| tirely fill the basement. How Glanville Died Mr. Glanville and Eimers had | been in the basement but a few moments when the water gushed | in in such quantities as to cause alarm. A second later they were shoulder deep in water. They decided to leave. Mr.| Glanville started to make his ex- it on one side of a pile of boxes. Eimers took a route on the op- osite side. Eimers reached the stairway, and escaped. Mr. Glanville was trapped by the on- rush of water and_ entangled mass of boxes, and drug stock. Calls for help were heard from Mr. Glanville. Holes were chop- ped in the floor. Seven minutes after the first call for help was| heard, his body was extricated| from the trap through one of the | openings made in the floor. | For two hours, it was believed a} spark of life remained, and Mr.| Glanville could be revived. Phy- sicians and others tried to re- wants to see you at the suscitate him, but their efforts were fruitless. Two Feet Deep In Store Water was almost two feet deep on the floor of the Glanville store, and in other stores attain- ed a depth almost as great. Masses of sand and mud and other debris were deposited by the flood throughout the busi- ness district. Sidewalks were torn up. Buildings were dam- aged. The east wall of the Lyric theatre collapsed, but 100 children, who were attending a matinee in the theatre, were hurriedly removed from the building before the wall crumb- led. No one was hurt. Never before, save during fires, has the business district of Grangeville seen such disaster at that of Saturday nor has ex- citement among inhabitants of the town run so high. It all came within a few min-| utes, and in less than an hour the waters began to recede. Losses have been mated as follows: Glanville Drug company, | stock damaged by water and} mud, $3000. | J.J.

Thursday evening after the Register had gone to press, the Triangle Construction Company touched off a big charge of pow- der and dynamite, loosening up from three to five thousand yards of rock for road surfacing. The charge consisted of 4175 pounds of powder, and 375 pounds of dynamite, all placed below the surface from twenty to twenty-five feet, and connect- ed by their electrician so that the entire charge was fired the same instant. ° Our informant states that it was a great success, breaking much of the rock ready for the crusher. Only about fifteen spectators were on the scene, as |the hour was late and probably was timed by the company’s managers to prevent too many of the over curious.—Lewis County Register, Craigmont. DR.
