Newspaper Page TextPage I, Register-Guard, Eugene, Ore., Tuesday, Jan. 8, 1948 Flood Threatens Willamette Area The Red Crosi Disaster Com mlttM was alerted early Tuesday morning, and key men in each Lane County community threat ened with high water were con tacted. Warntnf Syatem The diitaster set-up includes a warning system through which residents of low areas may be In formed of the danger of flood. Residents of Glenwood were preparing to move out Tuesday, and Walter Steen, president of the Glenwood Business Men's Assn., said his group was working close ly with Red Cross Disaster Com- 25 Self Smoothing PAINTS VARNISHES ENAMELS LIGHTNING'S 1 151 Willamette Phone 1316 mitteemen. Merchants in the area were busy Tuesday moving their goods above the expected high water level, and some residents who expected to be effected by the high water were getting household goods to high er elevations. Paasea Used Steen asked that all persons in the area contact their block cap tains before moving out, to re ceive a pass which will admit them to their property again. Those without block captains are asked to contact Steen or Fred Wimer and get a pass. "I believe we can handle the situation this year without any trouble," Steen said Tuesday morning." All our committees here are getting organized, and we are working closely with the Red Cross."

Home owners in Eugene who are able to take in evacuees are asked to call the Red Cross as soon as possible and register. Moving Early Red Cross disaster workers said some persons were moving out of Clenwood as early as Tuesday morning, and that many trailers had been moved to higher grounds. In Eugene flooded basements and street intersections kept city maintenance crews working on the double-quick. Asked where the worst situa tions were located, Supt. William Mullins of the street department whimiscally replied, "from city limits to city limits." No Phone To add to his woes, Mullin's telephone at tht city shops was out ot order Tuesday morning, and while It was being repaired he had to get information of citizens' complaints about clogged storm drains and flooded basements by reiay tnrougn otner city departments. Mullins said he and his men were working to clear as many storm sewers as possible and to pump out basements where pos- smie, But he felt the ultimate solu tlon would need to await abate ment of the rain. When Rain Stops "Within an hour or so after the rains stop, he said, most of the trouble will disappear." He said the city's storm drainage system was simply overloaded by the de luge early Tuesday, and this caused sewers in low-land areas to back up into basements and prevented proper street runoff as well. By midmorning, the water was running across Thirteenth Ave. W. in four places, with one-way traffic at several points. Near the Amazon, some sections of property were submerged, and the stream, filled to its banks, was sliding under bridges with only inches to clear. Tow Cars On Sixth Ave. W. tow cars were needed early in the morning to pull stalled cars out of standing water almost two feet deep in places. Nineteenth Ave. was bar ricaded from Hilyard to Willam ette as the Amazon spilled out over the surrounding area. Water at Lowell was only one half foot from flood stage at 11:10 a.m. Tuesday. It had reached 9.3 feet by that time, and was wash ing across the main highway be tween the Lowell Bridge and the store. Five families were towing their trailers from Noisy Creek Camp, and seven other families were being exacuated from cabins near the river. Power Out The cities of Fall Creek, Lowell, Jasper, Marcola, Springfield, Cot tage Grove, and other towns along the middel fork of the Willamette were partially without electrical power Tuesday morning as roads, highways and fields were inun dated with flood waters. Mountain States Power Co., which provides electrical energy for that large area, said a power outage occurred about 7:45 a.m. Tuesday. The company said the outage was caused by a failure on the transmission line to the south, near Crater Lake. The outage caused the closing of all schools at Lowell, and more than 300 students returned home after reporting for classes in the mornlnsr. . ... i-..tnths of a foot per Grove, and it was expected to be el Pit energized witnin a iew u. acnwi Mnnntoln Ktntpi said no rower mi Vl.u) School was Closed was available for industries.
