. "There' was a hurricane On October
ll, 1909, which took away theweather
bureau hero,' and ever since, that time
we have been ouartered In the llsrht-
house. Our little island Is eight miles
' out in the-Gulf of Mexico from Key
West, and Is a coral reef covered with
white sand. There ar three of us be
' longing to the Weather bureau, and our
duties are . the signalling to the pass
ing ships. We have telephone connec
tion with Key West through a.sub-
, , marine cable, and also a small wireless
set of our own with which we can talk
with the naval station at Key . west ?
Beginnunr of Storm. "
"I had heard many tales of the 1909
storm, and was really ' wishing ( one
would come i along, for I couldn't see
how the wind could blow so hard as
the people said It tad. We had a ter
rible time, and It doesn't seem real now,
but seems more like a terrible dream.
The sea was very rough for two days
before, .and the, storm signals Were, fly
ing. We carried wood and oil. Bp Into
the dwelling of the lighthouse and se
cured the boat to the side of the light
house before the storm struck with all
its force. The lighthouse Is of Iron, 110
feet high,: skeleton structure, and the
foundation is bored 10 feet Into the
rock. The dwelling is about ,20 feet
above the island.
"On tho night of the 13th, the baro
meter began to fall rapidly, rain fell
.in: torrents and the wind increased to
a gale. It continued to blow, about 60
miles an hour for two days and then
the wind subsided, and we thought it
' was all over." i 1 . '
' Waves Made H erase Sway. v
'"The worst was yet to como, how
ever, for on the night of the 16th the
barometer again began to fall, and the
real hurricane began. The barometer
went down and down till we thought
- the bottom would, fall out of it A .60
mlle wind hardly causes the lighthouse
to tremble, but the wind that blew that
morning soon had it swaying like the
branch of - a tree. There never, was a
more awe-Inspiring eight-, - - ' ' , .-'
, "Thewaves were incredibly bighV and
curled over and fell like miniature Nia
garas. The rain was forced by the wind
through the openings around the" win
dows and the whole place was
flooded wlth water. We. nailed' all
the ( windows t 4 and"' i doors ' shut
and ' oven then the doors would
pull the nails out and it would take all
five of us to get them closed.. . ;.'
?The wind increased as the barometer
fell, and we could not keep the clock
running on account ' of the motion of
the lighthouse, ,
World-Cut Off.
"The ; waves kept funning higher on
the island until they reached the very
center of it After some dubious mes
sages over the telephone from Key'
l West,; the cable gave "but and we were
without communication with the outer
world.'; 'We could ; not : see a hundred'
feet on account of the rain and spray
from the breaking waves, t The wind
soemod to , literally tear -the water to
pieces and hurl it Into the air.
"We were all gathered to the leeward
side of the house . and watched the
Island slowly wash away. .The waves
ate up'our wharf first then our boat
houses and then the brick oil house at
I the very center and highest
I Jhoint of . the Island , broke . up
" M after the waves washed completely over
it several times, and all the oil washed

" "The, lighthouse rocked so violently
that it seemed Impossible for it to hold
much longer, and we expected to be
pitched over' into the waves at any
moment r We could feel every wave
that ' struck ; the lighthouse, and several
; small braces broke loose at the bottom
and made a noise like a boiler factory,
pounding against the other braces.
4'Of course we didn't know what was
making the. noise, and thought perhaps
' the foundation of the lighthouse waa
givfag way... Standing on- the floor of
, the dwelling felt like standing on the
floor of a passenger coach running fast
around1 curves. r One man stood at the
barograph and called off ,the pressure
as the pen went down.
- "It is impossible to Imagine the
; notse. The wind made a terrible shriek
ing sound, blowing through the braces
of the lighthouse, and through the thun
der of - the "cwaves we could ;hear the
broken iron pounding against the bot-

"The barograph went, down to 28.40

before it began to rise slowly; There, w

though the wind continued with un

,'Tliere was much suffering on some
of the wrecks. Sx men, nearly dead
with hunger and thirst, were picked up
at sea clinging to the pilot house of a
boat On many of the steamers that
went through the storm safely, most
of the ' men of the crew were injured
in some manner. One steamer went on
the' reef with 600 passengers. They
were all saved by the revenue cutter
from Key West .- There are still two
large steamers and a four-masted
schooner on the reefs near here, and
probably 'most of them will never get
off. '
"Key West was paralyzed" by the
storm. The electric power plant was
totally wrecked, "and new machinery
had to be shipped from New York be
fore there was any light or any street
cars. The sea walls were all washed
away like paper, and many buildings
were completely demolished.
"Our little island baa since washed
back somewhat and we all hope that
we willi never see another hurricane.
The estimated' velocity of the wind was
125 to 150 miles at the height othe
storm." :. ' .- .

and, as for the Descfcutes canyon, be
said he found it exactly as he had pic
tured it in his mind, a-rugged gorge
forming a gateway into a vast empire.
Steveag Za la Charge. '
L"MiC Stevens " is ia charge of all the
work out here," said Mr. Hill, "and an
nouncements touching upon new work
will come from" him. The depot ques
tion will be determined by Mr. Stevens
and any other announcements - to be
made will come from him."
Everything indicated that Mr.,' Hill
was immensely pleased with the Oregon-Trunk
line. He considered . the
roadbed of excellent construction ! and
appeared especially pleased with the
progress that has been made. Wednes
day Mr. Hill, accompanied by his party
and Mr; Stevens, . Baw the Willamette
valley from an Oregon Jllectrio car and
the empire builder was completely car
ried away with the beautiful country
and the, contrast of its remarkable cli
mate to that of the middle states. .The
sun slione brightly, the air was balmy
and in - the fresh green fields cattle
wallowed in a wealth oil verdure all
ef which looked : good to the active
builder, who seea in the tiller of the
soil the builder of the nation.
Mr. Hill had. no announcements to
make regarding Willamette valley rail
road development, but Mr. Stevens
states that eventually the entire val
ley will bo gridironed by feeders to the
Hill system, , , '
' Oregon Electrlo to xtebd.
"We can' state positively at this time
only that the Oregon Electrlo will be
extended to McMinnvilie and Eugeni,"
said: Mr, Stevena thia morningiv "We
have 6nx franchises ; f or those exten
sions and will begin work as soon aa
possible, but eventually, we will build
new, feeders. . There arc many districts
that will deserve . attention, but it is
too early to speak of them now-while
we have ur hands full with projects
already under way. Mr. HU1 considers
tho Willamette valley a wonderful pieoo
of country." , , .' - - . , -i
'Tou may . state," .Mr., Steven con
tinued, "that the Hill system has not
bought nor la it figuring on buying the
Salem, Falls City A ' Western railroad,
as, stated in press dispatches from Sa
lem yesterday.': ' I 'doubt ; whether .'Mr.
Hill ever thought of that road, at least
he never made mention of It to me." ,.
The trip through a portion of the
Deschutes river .canyon , yesterday took
the Hill party to Shearer's bridge, the
old; wagon bridge over which the set
tlers have for years hauled their pro
ducts to the Columbia river. At this
particular point the Deschutes river
canyoru narrows down to a mere rift In
thestirtatRatiroughwbJeB"tbelvef
winds Its Way, and the railroad hugs
the river bank very xlosely. It took the
train seven hours to make the trip from
Clarke, the station on the Washington
side of the Columbia, jwhenoe the Sorry
carries the cars across the' river to the
Oregon Trunk tracks. The trip was
made tn an cbservation car of the A.
& C R. R, drawn by a work train.
A light anow waa falling and this made
the trip doubly interesting, for in the
Willamette valley the party had enjoyed
what ' tney considered . ideal summer
weather. , . , ' .
HiU Za Much Pleased. '
" The run was made very leisurely to
give' opportunity , for close inspection,
and luncheon was served in the car pn
the return trip. Very little of the sur
rounding country is to be seen front
the railroad which.. in places, is hidden
among cliffs arising to an elevation of
zouo reet above the river bed, but Mr.
Hill was not surprised or disappointed
at this for, though he had never seen
the canyon,, he said he had drawn Just
that sort of a picture of it He was
pleased with the scenic wonders of the
panorama as the train-pulled Into the
canyon and followed the winding and
turbulent river, The party returned to
the Portland hotel at 7:30 last night.

Mr. Stevens announced this morning
that, an acceptance to the Tenth street
franchise has been filed with the cly
by the Oregon-Electrics and work will
begin as soon as the material can be
gotten together. The line will be double
tracked and., will. give the electric lines
of the Oregon Electric and United Rail
ways direct connection for passenger
service. It is expected that a passenger
station will be located somewhere along
the line, bat Mr. Stevens said he could
give no information along that line at

"It is too early to TBay' anything oVf

ertles into the sewer for a distance of
more than one block, while in much of
the distance the lots facing on the Sec
tion Line road will be the only ones
that . can get basement drainage into
tbebig pipe. .
To the north the drainage is better.
for the sewer Is built on a hillside, but
even hero the crest of the hill is not
more than two or three blocks from tho
main : line of the sewer; so that . the
drainage area is wonderfully smalL To
the - layman it would appear that an
eight inch pipe would have cared for
the whole .' district
No part of the big dietrlct out to
the ' southeast of the big , sewer can
drain into it To take care of that dis
trict a new sewer will have to. be con
structed. Joining' the new , sewer at or,
near East Forty-eighth street and run
ning jp the. bottom' of a draw, ' which
has the appearance of being a former
creek bed, and is-the natural. drainage
line of, the entire district. .
Connected. With rout laterals. -l
The new' Section iine sewer Is now
connected with only four laterals. One
from' East . Lincoln street along East
Sixtieth street for a distance of about
two blocks into the head of the sewer.
The second runs from East Lincbln,
along East Fifty-seventh street to the
sewer, a distance of a block. Both of
these ' commence at the crest of . the
hill . to the north of the main sewer
and cover als much territory to the
north asj they are capable of draining.
There are 'two other laterals, each half
a block long, one on East 'Forty-second
street and the other on East Forty-third
strfet. , ' '
But this Is not all. The construc
tion of the . new sewer and the work
dome by the water departmnt seems to
point to a wonderful lack of coopera
tion between the city engineer and the
engineer of the water department
, The water department has an old 30
Inch iron overflow pipe , running from
the lower reservoir at East, Sixtieth
street and the Section Line road (res
ervoir No. 2.) to East , Thirty-ninth
street and up that street .for about a
mile until It empties into the Sunny
side sewer at East Thirty-fifth street.
; When the new sewer was constructed
this overflow pipe was . cut , into the
Brooklyn sewer at ' East ; Thirty-ninth
and Division ' srects. There now ' re
mains nearly a mile of "dead" pipe use
less 'in. the ground. .:v.'':'. ::r:;.:l:
Provides -for' Overflow.' "f.T.
At the same , time the water - depart
ment bought new 30 inch pipe t to pro
vide for. the overflow of the new res
ervoir on Mount Tabor, running it down
East Sixtieth street to the Section Line
road, paralleling the hew sewer to East
Fifty-second street ' where the new ov
erflow was cut , into the old overflow.
The price of this new pipe was 13.65
a.'foet .,' y
Therefore the Section Line road now
Contains, between East Sixtieth and
East Tif ty-second streets,; a 3 Inch
sewer and two JO inch iron overflow
pipes. That is eight blocks where three
pipes' are doing the work that one could
do. Between East Fifty-second street
and East Thirty-ninth street ' the' street
contains one sewer, JO, loch part of the
way and 33 inch the remainder, and ont
30 inch, overflow pipe; two pipes doing
the work that one could do. ; ?
, And there is .another, place where the
city engineer has Bought high, ground
for the location of his trunk line sewer.
Between ; East' Forty-first , and East
Forty-ninth streets the city engineer
constructed the main trunk of the north
extension of the Brooklyn sewer
through private ground acquired, by the
city. This is a 45 inch briclWand cement
sewer. Between East Forty-first and
Eastr7FortyxtH'YretstWs""Tiaara
trunk line runs along the ' crest: of s
hill. It has been 'necessary, therefore,
to build a smaller sewer, paralleling the
trunk lind a block or so to the north
and running into the main line again al
East Fprty-f Irst etreet The laterals
that feed this branch sewer ran back
sooth within 100 feet of the trunk line,
drain away from ifand carry the sew
ago around the base of the hill and back
into the main line.
City Engineer tn Doubt
There are one br two other pecoliat
things about the construction of the
north, branch of rtlo Brooklyn sewer
Where the new sewer Joins the east
branch, of the Brooklyn sewer at Mar-.
guerlte and r Division , Btreets, the old
sewer is a 63 Inch pipe., The new sewer
is a 63 inch pipe, so that the blggei
sewer empties into the smaller one.
Again ' the bottom of the trunk linf
sewer along East ' Thirty-ninth street
is four inches higher than the bottom
of the branches that run Into it at
Sherman street and at the Section Line
road. This is caused by , the fact that
the trunk line and the branches , were
started on the same level, bat that the
brick flooring of the? trunk line, was
overlooked, so that when the whole was
completed the bottom of tho trunk line
was raised Just the width of a brick
placed on edge above the bottom, of the
branch sewer, . leaving a four inch danr
at the intersections,
Deputy City Engineer Hurlburt say
that he does not understand just why
the Section Line sewer was put along
the road, instead of up the draw to the
north and east He said , this , morning
that one reason, he thought was the
fact that at the time, the sewer war
laid out the city boundary to the north
ended at the Section Line, 160 feet t
the. north, of; the Section Line road
However, the sewer s; was planned ' in
September, 1909. The city election that
let the Mount Scott district into the -city
was held "In jane."1909," and the distric.
became a part -of the city in July; 1909.
The contract for the sewer was filed
with the city auditor March 11, 1910. v
Mr. Hnrlburt says that a smaller
sewer can be constructed up the draw
to take care of the big district to the
southeast
' Carried Oat Own Plans,
Engineer Clarke, in charge of the en.
gineering department Of the . water
board, says, that he did not know that
the Section Line Sewer was to be con'.
Stmcted when ? t made arrangements
for the overflow ; pipes for ? the new
Mount Tabor reservoir. Mr. Clarke
says that he went to the city englneei
to find out how close the new sewer
was to be built to the reservoir, and was
told that It would be quite a ways west
of the reservoir, He therefore went
ahead with bis own plans, ordered the
pipe and prepared to lay it r At that
time it was expected that the reservoir
would be finished by July 1 last -By
thetlme he got ready, to lay the pipe
he says, the city was building the Sec
tion Line sewer, so ho went ahead "with
his own" plans, irrespective1 of the work
of the "city engineers office.; Mr. Clarke
says, also, that if the time ever came
when the full capacity of .the 30 tncl
pipes were to be called for the Section I
Line sewer might not be able to carry
the water, and that the sewage might
have been backed up. Into the reservoir
had fhn connection been n)adewitb.jJtie
bewer ' af Eiist - Sixtieth slreeL So ho
carried the pipes a mile down the road
and cut them into the same sewer at
East Thicty-ninth street He has not
determined yet, Mr. Clarke says, what
he will do with the mile of "dead" 38
inch pipe now in the ground 'along East
Thirty-ninth street
; Idea Waa to Economize. . '
City Engineer Morris' says that the
whole sewer system was constructed,
with the Idea of ultimate economy In
mind. He says that the Section Line
yoad trunk was constructed to take care
of the district laid out for it and that
it would do no more than that. Another
sewer trunk is contemplated to be built
up the. draw to the southeast to take
care of the district that can not reach
the Section Line sewer.
, : When asked if it would be-, ultimately,
as cheap to build s 10 inch sewer up
the Section Line road, and another large
enough to care for its district up the
draw to the southeast a it would have
been to build one sewer big enough to
care for the whole district up the low
land of the draw, Mr. Morris said it
was not a fair question and for that rea
son he did not care to answer it
In regard to paralleling the 45 Inch
main trunk line between East Forty
first and East Forty-ninth streets, Mr.
Morris said that no less than three sets
of plans had been drawn for that dis
trict and that computation had shown
the itnost economical construction was
the one adopted. . : '. ;
Mr. Morris says that no less than 20
engineers have worked over the plans
for .the sewer extensions and that any
way, the, plan' was approved by former
City Engineer Taylor and simply carried
out by the new administration when it
came Into office. '

Telephone Directory
The Size an3 Grculation of the Telephone Direc
tory Indicates the Telephone Development :;
of the Territory for Which It t
Is PublishetL . J
We are now distributing a new Telephone Directory, which Is
a departure from, the old form. With the continued growth tn the
number of telephones the former style of directory has become cum
bersome. Also to facilitate the handling of telephone calls undor
pur "Two Number Toll Service Method", between Portland, Oregon
City, Salem and Vancouver it. is desirable that subscribers have at
hand telephone directories of these cities.' To accomplish this we ;
have combined the directories of Portland, Oregon City, Salem and
Vancouver, and in addition have included ' all exchanges and toll
stations in Multnomah, Clackamas and Clarke counties. .
A more compact arrangement of listing is therefore necessary,
and the type1 used has been specially designed to secure the maxi
mum dgree of legibility possible within the amount of space allowed.
The entire directory has been reset It is possible. In spite of careful
proofreading, that some typographical errors have ocenred. For.
this reason subscribers are requested to check up their listing when
the directory is received, -and to notify the company promptly of
any errors discovered, j
The new directory is a book of $30 pages, set two columns to
the page, and contains the listings of approximately $5,000 tele-.,
phones in Portland and the neighboring cities of Vancouver, Salem
and Oregon Cityj . Thirty-seven thousand of these directories will
be distributed, the old directories being collected, when the new ones
are left, since if old books remain In circulation the telephone. serv-
ire suffers fromwrong number calls arising from' incorrect diree
tory information.. This directory, being consulted by at least 100,000
people every day, has a very real advertising value.
