BEACH CAMPS INUNDATED Schooner Swept From Moorings and Iepolted in Yard, but Will Be Launched Again , Pioneers Pnt Blame on .Moon. NOME. Alaska, Nov. 4. It Is feared that Solomon, a settlement of a doxen houses, situated on the beach of Nor ton Round. 91 miles east of Nome, was wiped' ont by the unusual tidal dis turbance which sent a flood or water In from Bering Sea yesterday. Inundat ing tha camna alone the coast and wrecking th flimsy buildings clustered la exposed places on th beach. The telenhone line between Nome and Solomon la down and no word has been received from the settlement. .In former days Solomon had a population of 600. but In recent years it has dwindled to a small settlement. Wreckage Strcuri Sandspit. Th eurf today Is normal. Merchants, whose stocks were Inundated by the rush of water, are busy rehabilitating their establishments. The beaoh ends of all the buildings facing on Front street wer badly damaged by the pounding surf last night and the cellars of the buildings are still filled with water. Th sandspit Is a mass of wreckage. Th schooner Mary Sachs, which was picked up from her moorings and de posited In apltdweller'a yard was nn harraed and can be launched again with little difficulty. Several other vessels laid up for the Winter were badly damaged by the pounding waves. Pioneers Blame Moon. Pioneers refus to accept the theory that the disturbance was caused by vol canlo or seismic disturbances In the vicinity of Unlmak Pass, insisting that the rush of water was an unusual tide due to a chang In th phases of th moon. Ordinarily the tidal action at Nome la alight, and when the Ice begins to mov down into Baring Sea and Norton Sound from the Arctlo Ocean, th water Is almost as placid at a lake. If yesterday's phenomenon had oc curred when th ice waa further ad vanced, tb hug cakes would have been swept over the spit with such fury as to demolish th most substan tial buildings. Dwellers Lose AIL Fortunately ther waa little lea In tha road a. and the lashing of the surf was th only fore that had to be feared. Eighteen small buildings on th Nome sandspit were completely wrecked. No lives were lost and only - r.w nrnni were Injured In th rush to safety. Th sudden rise of the water. unacoompaniel by a gale, ana wiin out tha usual manifestations of an ap proaching storm, gave tha spltdwellera little time to seek safety and most of them lost all their effects In the rush of th waves. SALEM ASKS REVETMENT Protection of Waterfront Essential, Engineers Report. SALM. Or.. Nov. 4. ( Special. Re ports from Engineers Colver, Byars. Far rott. Thlelson and Tillman, all of this city, wer forwarded this afternoon by Representative Hawley to Major Mcln doe. of the United States Army Engi neers, utwlng a larger share of the Wil lamet River Improvement appropriation for th revetment at Salem. The engineers and local business men fear that th Willamette River In tha conrs of a few years will leave Its course and leave Salem without a water front. ' The waters of tha stream have been eating their way Into the Polk County side of tha river. It Is hoped by means of a revetment to throw th river back In It old channel and keep It ther and prevent th damag by floods experi enced some seasons. Major Mclndoe thought 15000 would be a sufficient amount of th $60,000 river appropria tion for Salem's us this year, but Rep resentative Hawley desires to secure fit. 000 for this lmportsnt Improvement and local commercial bodies are . co-op -erartng with him.
