At the recent convention of the Oregon

law.
The present law compels the manu

Crushed House Part of 'Widespread
Devastation From Great Storm
Xcar Corvallls Slides
Cause Lnrjfc Damage.
CORVALLIS. Or.. Jan. 20. (Special.)
A tragedy was narrowly averted on
Woods Creek early Thursday morning.
as a result of the heavy rains and high
water. Woods Creek went on a ramp
age and tore out the dam of the Noon
sawmill, precipitating the pent uj wa
ters of the mlllpond Into the valley
below. The flood, dangerous In Itself,
was made doubly ao by the large
amount of drift and sawlogs carried on
its crest.
The home of. William Kerby lay di
rectly in the path of the flood and was
soon enveloped In the raging waters
A heavy sawlog, coming end on with
the swift current, struck the house
with the force of a projectile and lit
erally, plowed Its way through the
building, reducing it to a shapeless
pile of wreckage. The rising water
picked up the ruined home and carried
it down stream for some distance.
where it finally stranded on' a pile of
drift.
The accident happened about 1 o clock
Thursday morning, and tho first warn
Ing given Mr. and Mrs. Kerby. who were
asleep In bed, was the crash of the
falling building. They were saved from
being crushed by the falling roof by
the bedstead that proved strong enough
to carry the load until relief came early
In tha morning.
The rescuing party had to cut a way
Into the Imprisoned victims of the dis
aster. Mr. and Mrs. Kerby were but
aiiglitly Injure.
The flood demolished the Noon Rail
way up Woods Cree"k and the wagon
bridges along tha valley. The Marys
River la reported to have been higher
at Pbnomath than at any time since
1890. a period of 20 years.
The heavy ralna of the present week
seem to have wrought wide-spread
havoc with the hill roads In various
parts of the county. Telephone lines
have been quite generally put out of
commission and reports are coming In
slow, but the list of washouts and land
slides continues to grow and Indicates
that the roads are badly demoralized
and damage done that will require
much time, labor and expense to repair.
Mr. J. W. Vineyard reports an ex
traordinary number of landslides in the
Mountain View district. Five can be
seen from the Vineyard home. One of
these was over two acres In extent and
larger ones are reported. A large
slide on the James Fraser place threat
ened to demolish the barn. Another on
tha Perry Patten farm completely filled
the canyon and blocked the county road.
This slide happened Wednesday after
noon. The avalanche of earth swept
down tha hill carrying away 100 yards
of fenoe and threatened to engulf a
valuable prune orchard, but stopped be
fore serious damage was done.
High water also caused much Incon
venience and did quite a little damage

Llttl Enow Melted by Kaln.
ALBANY, Or., Jan. 20. (Special.)
Very little of the heavy snow In the
mountains of this part of the state
melted during the recent heavy rains.
This fact, which was learned here to
day from reports from various moun
tain districts, accounts for the condi
tion that the Willamette River and
other streams did not rise as high as
was expected. The unprecedented heavy
rains left very much more water stand
ing on lowlands over the country than
In any flood In years and this 'condi
tion led to the belief that a record
breaking flood might be expected.

At Elk City much damage was done
by floods In the Big Elk and Taqulna
Rivers. A bridge across Big Elk. three
miles above Elk City, wahed out. One
span of a bridge across the Taqulna
went down and William Enos and
lad named Hoffman, who were standing
or the bridge when It gave way, were
carried down with the wreck, narrowly
escaping with their lives.
Another bridge at Elk City, connect
ing Hockins & Enos' sawmill with the
Corvallls & Eastern, was carried out

The lower end of Elk City Is under
