Bea lake, north of Nelport near the Idaho slate line, "started rock ing violently," Mrs. William Wil son said. The resort owner's wife said the shock "rocked all our boats loose from our docks and took thn out on the water. "When we went out to get them we could hardly row because of the pull of the water. We pulled them high up on the beach where we thought they would be safe. Then the lake surface suddenly rose what seemed to he three or four feet and took all our boats out again." At Clear lake, northwest of Cheney, Mrs. G. C. Hollomon said a "young tidal wave" left dozens of fish on the shore. "One big wave came In about six feet and then the whole shore line receded," she said. "It looked as though somebody had pullod a plug out of the lake bottom and the water was running out. "After that a huge wave came In and washed way up on the shore, and the lake appeared to rise six or eight Inches. "That wave threw lots of small bass up on the shore. I threw about three dozen back Into the lake myself and my husband threw lots more." SCREENS Soreen Doers Screen Wirt Window Screens PAGE LUMBER & FUEL R4 E.
