The big boom containing several million feet of logs, for which the Lewis River Boom Company is responsi ble, broke from its fastenings at the mouth of Lewis River and are floating down the Columbia River.

The launches of the Case Lumber Company, the Hill Lumber Company and the Kalama Boom company are assist ing In recovering the logs. The Boom Company does not own the logs, but is handling them for another company, so it will be held responsible for the logs that have broken away. At Washougal last night the big dam on the. Washougal went out. entailing a loss of $10,000. The towns of Camas and Washougal will be lighted by- electricity generated by steam this Winter. The dam will be rebuilt next year.
