BRIDGE PARTLY GONE
Break li Pipe Line Causes City to
Fire Up Old Pumping Plant
to Meet Situation.
ABERDEEN, Wash.. Nov. 27. (Spe
cial.) The storm which raged on this
harbor yesterday and last night, and
drove the tidewaters into the streets
of the lower part of the city, abated
this morning. The property damage
was not great. The telephone com
pany and the Northern Pacific line
betweeij Aberdeen and the beach suf
fered heaviest damage. All telephone
lines were down and more than 200
telephones in the city were put out
of use. The track between Hoquiam
and Moolips was washed out in places
and in others covered with slides, so
that it may be several days before
trains will run.
A part of the bridge over Grass
creek near James rock wa washed
away. Mills which were forced to
close at high tide yesterday suffered
no inconvenience today.
A break in the Wishkah river pipe
line caused the city water department
to fire up its old north side pumping
station, which was in use prior to the
construction of the gravity line. The
damage is not believed serious.
GRAYS HARBOR STORM-BOXJA'D
Gale Blowing, Tide Away Up and
Much Damage Done,
HOQUIAM. Wash., Nov. 27. (Spe
cial.) With a 60-mile gale blowing
and a tide at 1:30 P. M. four feet
higher than normal. Grays Harbor
shores experienced, from Friday
morning to Saturday, a 24-hour storm
that has not been surpassed in many
years. As a result street-car service
in North liotiuiam was discontinued
for several hours owing to the back
ing up of the water in the Hoquiam
river over a wide area of land, includ
ing the etreet-car company's right of
wa y.
Twenty-five feet of the wooden
bridge of Grass creek seven miles
west of the city went out, except
for the piling. Three automobiles,
owned by H. W. Winkleman, H. J.
l.ee and Ray Smith, all of Hoquiam,
were stalled on the farther side of
the washout and will have to await
the repair of the structure before
they can be brought into the city.
The Olympic highway, which was
paved last summer, was under water
three miles west of the city, as was
the Daniels ranch and other acreage.
The Northern Pacific tracks were aleo
under water west of the city. In East
Hoquiam the portion lying along the
Hoquiam river was inundated for
several hours.
High tide, scheduled for 12:31 P.M.
Friday, reached its peak at 1:30, when
it touched 14 feet 7 inches, instead
of the previously estimated mark of
10.4 feet. The highest mark previous
ly recorded here was in 1913, when it
reached 14.11.

morning report from North Head to
the Merchants' exchange stated that
Friday's terrific southwest gale had
died down to a 14-mile breeze and
veered to the westward. Weather
was reported as cloudy and the sea
rough.
The storm worked havoc with the
aids to navigation in this district. A
radio message received by Robert
Warrack,, superintendent of light
houses, reported that the Umatilla
reef light vessel had broken adrift
Friday, but had been recovered and
towed into Puget sound in safety.
Passing out, the steamer Curacao
reported that gas and whistling buoy
No. 2 at the Columbia river entrance
was missing.- With both entrance
buoys gone No. 6 sank Thursday
night the lighthouse department is
in a serious predicament, as no buoys
are on hand with which to replace
those missing. Reports that other
aids to navigation had carried away
were momentarily expected.
While these two Duoys are missing,
no vessels will be able to pass into
or out of the mouth of the Columbia
river during the night. The steamer
Lake Filbert, which passed Tatoosh
at 1 o'clock yesterday morning,
should normally be off the mouth of
the river by 2 A. M. today, but op
erators of the vessel were notified by
the pilots yesterday that the vessel
will have to await daylight before
coming into Astoria.
DEATH
STORM'S WAKE
Pedestrians Endangered by Falling
Poles in 60-Mile Gale.
SEATTLE, Wash.. Nov. 27. (Spe
cial.) Death and demolition of prop
erty of various kinds followed in the
wake of a storm tnat swept Seattle
and the north Pacific coast last night,
during which the wind velocity in
Seatle reached 60 miles an hour for
three to four-minute periods the
fourth greatest blow in the history
of the local weather bureau.
One man was killed as a direct re
sult of the storm, when a motorist,
feeling his way along, on unlighted
streets and with a wet windshield,
ran down Ben Huber, 45. a cabinet
maker of 1107 Dexter avenue.
Houses were wrecked, garages de
molished, light poles and wires blown
down and city street-lighting service
knocked away. Street-car service
was constantly interrupted, due to
broken trolley lines; telephone serv
ice, local and long distance, lines, was
interfered with; telegraph lines were
put ut of commission and numerous
fire alarms kept the fire department
forces on the jump.
In addition to numerous other trou
bles due to the storm, live wires
falling to the street when light poles
were snapped in the gale endangered
pedestrians.
Officers of the city lighting de
partment, telegraph and telephone
companies said it would take three
or four days to repair the destruction.
The storm, beginning yesterday
morning, grew In intensity of wind
force, accompanied by gusts of rain,
until a 60-mile-an-hour gale roared
over the city at times during the
night, a velocity that fell and rose
again much like the tide until the
early hours of th4s morning, when
the usual calm that follows a storm
came, and later the sun, with its
augury for a clear day.
Mr. Huber, the storm's only local
victm. was knocked down by an auto
mobile driven by Page Woodcock,
4046 First avenue. Huber was carry

tide did not go over the embankments
along the inlets but a tide gate broke
and let the water in upon the Marsh
field race track and put several hign
ways under water and traffic was
routed in other directions in a round
