STORM GENERAL IN NORTHWEST
Telegraph and Telephone Lines Down
Trains Stalled in Mountains.
SALT LAKE, Nov. 1L The North Pa
cific Coast from British Columbia to
Southern Oregon, and the States of Ore
gon, Washington. Idaho, Montana, Neva
da, Wyoming, Utah and Western Colo
rado, were swept by a storm today that
has resulted in an almost total prostra
tion of telegraph service over that terri
tory and In the mountains has all but tied
up the railroads in a Tegular mid-Winter
blockade.
The storm, which Is still raging with
unabated fury, is the severest on the
Coast. For five days rain has been falling
without cessation In the Puget Sound
country, which turned into snow today,
CLCcompanled by wind, which tonight is
blowing at the rate of 35 miles an hour.
Heavy gales are reported along the
entire Pacific accompanied by torren
tial rains. So far, however, no ma
rine disasters have been reported. In
the gorges of the Cascades snow is re
ported to be four feet deep on the level,
and still falling; and railroad traffic Is
seriously Impeded In consequence. At
Helena and Butte and over the ranges of
Central and Eastern Montana the storm
tonight has turned into a blinding blizzard,
with eigh Inches of snow at Helena, six
Inches at Butte, with a high wind and
xaplily dropping temperature.
Southward, in Wyoming, Nevada and
Ttah, there has been little precipitation
to !xr, but high winds have prevailed for
nearly 24 hours. Telegraph service has
been practically wiped out. Prostrated
telegraph poles ana wires buried In snow
drifts resulted in the Pacific Northwest
being almost completely cut off from the
outside world for the greater part of the
day. while conditions wore almost as bad

Independence Experiences Six Hours
of Severe Windstorm.
INDEPENDENCE, Or., Npv. Spe
cial.) A very severe wind came up last
night at about 12 o'clock and continued
until about 6 o'clock this morning. It is
stated that this was the strongest
wind that has occurred in this section
of the state. A number of the windows In
Mouses in town were blown out and con
siderable damage was done to other prop
erty. The telephone lines are damaged all
over the town. Communication is iossi
ble with Dallas and Salem only.
The electric light wires were broken
near Sidney and the town was in darkness
from about 2 o'clock on. The new wheel
had Just been totalled at Sidney and
the lights were turned on last night at
about 7 o'clock for the first time for
over a week. A number of fir trees were
blown down and the wires on the tele
phone line Just south of town on the
way to Corvallls were broken by one of
these trees.
In Monmouth there was a great deal
of damage. The big fire bell there was

BLIZZARDS IN MONTANA.
Heavy Fall of Snow Accompanies Se
vere Wind Storm.
BUTTB, Mont., Nov. 1L Miner advices
from throughout Montana indicate the
generally falling of temperature, ac
companied in many localities by blizzards
and heavy snows. From three to eight
inches of snow has fallen in eastern sec
tions of the state apd the temperature is
slightly below freezing point. In the foot
hills the snow has attained a depth of
three or four feet.
Reports from the Madison Valley and
Southern Montana are to the effect that a
heavy blizzard has been raging for the
past ten hours. The temperature, how
oer. Is holding its own, and, as the
stockmen are prepared for winter, it is
thought little loss will occur.
Central Montana was visited by a fierce
snow and windstorm. Helena tonight re
ports high wind and temperature of about
90 degrees above zero. Indications are for
more snow. The wind at times attained a
Telocity of 25 miles an hour.
Great Falls, Anaconda and Missoula re
port heavy snow and high wind, though
temperatures are not low. In the North It
is getting colder and, with extremely
heavy snow and contlnuedstormlng, stock
may suffer.
In Butte and adjoining country the
worst blizzard in two years was experi
enced this afternoon, though tonight Is
clear and colder. The snow came in blind
ing sheets, making it imposible to see a
distance greater than half a block. Tem
perature about 25 above zero.
Section Director Montrose, of the United
States Bureau, reports the storm general

DAMAGE DONE AT CORVALL1S.
Wind Blows 60 Miles per Hour for
Minute's Time.
CORVALLIS. Or., Nov. u. (Special.)
Tne highest wind on record since the es

college, -several year ago, prevailed here
In the early hours of this morning. For
about 29 minutes between 3 and 4 o'clock
the gale blew 60 miles per hour. The av
erage for an hour between 3 and 4 was
41 miles.
Residences In all parts of town were
badl shaken, and In many Instances the
occupants were much frightened. At the
college five huge window panes were
blown from the Armory, Administration
and Agricultural buildings. A chimney
was blown from the Armory, and another
from the residence of Physical Director
Trine. The top was blown from the col
lege water tank, and a shed was blown
down at the residence of Professor Mc
Kellips. . big window pane was blown out at
Fireman's Hall, and the entire shed at
the Corvallls Lumber-yard was blown
down. In various other parts of town win
dows, sheds and outbuildings suffered from
the -violence of the gale. Reports of ad
ditional damage are expected from the
country, but as yet none has been re
ceived. HOUSES SHAKEN AT ALBANY.
Gates and Signs Torn Loose by the
Fury of the Wind.
ALBANY, Or., Nov. 1L (Special.) Al
bany was visited early this morning with
one of the fiercest wind storms the citizens
of this place have experienced In years.
Houses shook like reeds, gates and signs
were torn from their fastenings, panes of
window glass blown out, etc., until the
list of damages amounts to considerable.
The heaviest loser is the Corvallls & East
ern Railroad Company. A large span of
the roofing over the Corvallls & Eastern
railroad bridge, which spans the Wil
lamette River at Albany was torn off by
the heavy gale and blown Into the river.
The damage is not of a nature to stop
traffic, and trains crossed the bridge as
usual today.
Rain fell copiously during the night, and
this morning the streets were covered
with wator. The rains of the last week
have caused a. rapid rise in the water in

not get into California; we shall have to
quit In that state. That's why I say I
don't know whether we shall ever get
back the trade we have lost."
Mr. Booth added that the'eost of-shipping
by rail Is already $1 per 1000 feet
higher than by water. By rail, he said,
the charge was about $5, and by waterr
about $4. An increase in the rail rate
would be a further detriment to Interior
mills.
"It's easy to see," remarked Mr. Booth,
"that we should be forced out of the busi
ness in California, because we could not
meet water competition.
Low Rate Develops Industry.
"The $3.10 rate is very low. It is un
profitable to the railroad. But it has
been the greatest single benefit that has
ever come to this country. It has devel
oped the lumber Industry of Western
Oregon, as many people do not appreci
ate. It has caused the lumber business
to grow faster than the railroad could
enlarge facilities of transportation. The
railroad hasn't kept up; there's no doubt
about that.
"The result Is extremely unfortunate
to Oregon mills. There's no profit In the
business in the present situation. Our
company has $500,000 tied up In lumber
and logs; under normal conditions one
fifth of that sum Is sufficient.
"We won't go through this again no,
not we. We won't put another board Into
the yard until conditions are ameliorated.
The matter is not pleasing to contemplate
from any point of view.
No Sale in California Now.
"Business of Oregon mills In California
Is practically closed. Officials of the rail
road at Portland have done what they
could to meet the emergency. They have
portrayed the true condition of affairs to
their superiors."
To -show how Inadequate Is the supply
of cars Mr. Booth said that his company
requires between 1000 and 1200 cars every
month. "But," said he, "in August we
received only 254 cars; In September only
13S and In October only about 60.
"A suit against the Southern Pacific, In
my opinion, will surely fall. Why? Be
cause no railroad could have furnished
enough cars to satisfy such demands as
have confronted the Southern Pacific I
know that the railroad has bought all the
locomotives this year that money could
buy and has secured as many new cars
as was possible to get. Then why the
shortage? I shall enumerate four causes:
Causes of the Shortage.
"First, enormous growth of lumber out
put; second, tremendous Increase In all
kinds of shipments; third, withdrawal of
cars and engines for improvements in
Utah and Nevada; fourth, extension of
lumber markets Eastward beyond the
Missouri River and consequently longer
employment of cars.
"This year's output of lumber In Ore-
' gon, Washington, Idaho and California Is
5,000,000 feet a day larger than last. And
lost year's Increase over the preceding
year, though not so great, was extremely
large. About three-fifths of this year's
Increase Is tributary to the Southern Pa
cific Unprecedented Demand for,, Cars.
"I need not discuss the unprecedented
demand for cars for moving other pro
ducts than lumber. It Is Immense. Har
rlman has withdrawn a large"amount of
rolling stock from service all over the
system to carry on Improvements. This
has intensified the scarcity of cars and
Oregon Is suffering along with other di
visions of the system.
"It Is likewise a matter of common
knowledge that Oregon fir has been mak
klnir steadv headway in the Fust. hvnnr?
the Missouri River, against the Southern
pine. Shipments to those points keeps
the cass longer In service, on account of
the longer distance."
Mr. Booth was asked whether he thought
Portland mills have a real grievance
against the Southern Pacific He said
he did not deny that they had, but did
not admit their complaint against in
terior Oregon mills to be justified.
No Grievance Against Interior Mills.
"Portland should not forget," he said,
"that the rate $3.10 was established for
the benefit of interior mills in order to
enable them to meet the competition of
mills on the water. When that rate, was
fixed In 1E99 It was the exact equivalent

rate was extended to Portland mills.
Neither Is the fact to be overlooked that
the railroad can make less money out of
the low $3.10 rate from Portland than
from interior mills. Nor should -It be
forgotten Jthat Portland mills have a

Mr. Booth would not discuss the insinua
tion frequently made that his company

was entirely false. "Not a single mem

Sea Serpent Fake Exposed.
A long, white, snaky-looking thing la
beled, "The first sea serpent ever caught
in the Columbia," was displayed In front
of a market yesterday, and many stopped
to examine It. Finally an old resident
exposed the fraud, which had been perpe
trated by a joker In the flsh department.
The alleged sea serpent was nothing moro
nor less than the spinal chord of a large
sturgeon which made a good representa
tion of a snake, except that It had no
head on either end. Such things were
common enough here years ago, when big
sturgeon 10 or 12 feet long were plentiful
in the Columbia, but of late years a large
sturgeon has very seldom been seen, they
having all been caught and shipped to
