Storm Leaves 26 Dead on West Coast
No More
Severe
Winds
No more severe winds are
expected in the Pacific North
west this weekend, regional
weatherman said Sat urday
morning.
"We are getting calls from
people fearful of a repeat of
last night's windstorm," the
Portland Weather Bureau re
ported. "We do not expect any
severe winds for at least the
next few days, and none are
in sight at the present time."
For the Eugene-Springfield
area, the Eugene weatherman
predicts partly cloudy skies, no
rain and cool temperatures to
night and Sunday.
He echoed the Portland wea
ther bureau's prediction, and
emphasized that weather charts
and other forecasting sources
indicate that there are no se
vere storms on the way.
A light, "more normal" rain
storm is expected in Western
Oregon Sunday, the Portland
weather bureau said. This dis
turbance may be accompanied
by some light, gusty winds of
20 to 25 miles an hour in
interior regions of Western
Oregon.
The Oregon Coast, weather
men said, could get gusts of
40 to 50 miles an hour Sunday
from the relatively mild storm.

Dual Storms
Triggered
Big Blow
Frieda, a frisky typhoon from
the South Pacific, and another
ocean-brewed storm, were to
blame for the hurricane-force
winds that swept through three
West Coast states Friday.
The U.S. Weather Bureau at
Portland said that the storm
was the worst ever to strike
Oregon.
Frieda formed thousands of
miles off the coast earlier in the
week and was dissipating when
a new storm formed off the
coast of California. Weather of
ficials said it is not unusual for
the tail-ends of hurricanes to
hit off the coast and it was the
combination of Frieda and the
local storm that caused the big
fuss.
First Hit State Line
The local storm formed off
the coast of California when
cold and warm air masses col
lided aloft. That established
the wind. Freida's gales helped
blow the new storm along.
The storm first rammed jnto
the coast at the Oregon-California
border. Then its heart
moved up the coast at about 40
miles per hour.
Off the Washington coast, the
storm joined another that was
already there and the com
bined storm moved inland over
British Columbia where it was
puffing itself breathless Sat
urday morning.
Winds Hit 90 MPH
At some points the winds
reached speeds of up to 90
miles an hour.
The weatherman at Eugene's
Mahlon Sweet airport reported
Saturday morning that baromet
ric pressure "went clear off the
sheet" and reached 28.86 inch
es, "the lowest we've ever re
corded, as far as I know."
Peak gusts at the airport
were clocked at 86 miles per
hour. That was at 3:52 p.m. Fri
day. The storm continued until
about 8 p.m. before it slacked
off.
Major Disaster
While damage due to the
storm won't be totally assessed
for many days, the 12 dead in
Oregon ranks it as one of the
slate's greatest disasters.
Thirteen persons died from
the Roschurg explosion on Aug.
6, 1959. Damage then was esti
mated at more than $12 mil
lion. Three men died in the wind
itorm which lashed through Eu
gene Jan. 7, 1961. Damage from
that storm, which lasted only
15 minutes, was estimated at
from $200,000 to $300,000 but
that didn't include millions of
hoard feet of valuable timber
that was toppled in forest
lands.
Gardiner Mill
Loss Reported
GARDINER Damage to the
International Paper Company
property here may go as high
as $250,000, it was reported
Saturday morning.
The present sawmill and lum
ber sheds and the paper plant
tinder construction received se
vere damage, company officials
said.
About $80,000 worth of blue
prints were lost when con
struction shed collapsed and the
papers scattered in the storm.

JC Views Wreckage
Following Fires, Storm
By ED BEELER
Of the Register-Guard
JUNCTION CITY Two
square blocks were smoldering
rubble Saturday morning in the
wake of the worst fire and
storm in this city's history.
Destroyed by flames were six
houses and Farmers Warehouse
Inc. Another house received ex
tensive water and smoke dam
age. Only one person was injured.
Fire Chief Bill Nelson was
knocked to the ground by flying
debris and was overcome by
smoke after an 80-minute battle
with smoke, flames and wind.
He was soon revived after being
given oxygen.
Lloyd E. Wright, owner and
president of the warehouse, es
timated the loss of building and
contents at about $400,000. It
was covered by insurance. No
residential damage estimate had
been made by early Saturday.
Chief Nelson said the ware
house fire was reported at
4:45 p.m. It started, he said,
from sparks blown north from
a scrap burner fire at the Lar
sen, Clark and Powell sawmill
two blocks south.
The sawmill fire was report
ed at 4:21 p.m. when the east
side of the burner was blown
sv.'sy allowing sparks to spew
out into the wind.
Officials were unable to give
But Some Routes
Transportation
'Fairly Normal'
Planes, trains, buses, trucks and cars were going to and
from the Eugene-Springfield area in fairly normal fashion Sat
urday morning after suffering delays or absolute blockages
from the storm Friday evening.
This was the highway report from the Eugene office of
state police at mid-morning Saturday:
Highway 36 and Route F to the coast both closed from trees
and lines across the road and, in the case of Route F, wash
outs; the Pacific Freeway open from Portland to the California
border; Highway 101 on the coast closed south of Newport;
Highway 58 (Willamette Pass) open all the way over the Cas
cades; Highway 126 (McKenzie Highway) open.'
Other reports Saturday morning included:
Travel by air United and West Coast Airlines resumed
normal schedules Saturday morning after having flights to
Portland and to San Francisco cancelled late Friday afternoon
and evening. - . '
Mahlon Sweet Municipal Airport north of Eugene had
runways and taxiways clear Saturday morning. Wind at the
airport heavily damaged one Green Flying Service hangar.
At least seven planes moored "on the line" had wings broken
off or were otherwise damaged.
McKenzie Flying Service in Springfield reported only one
plane overturned and wrecked by the wind. Some roofing and
hangar doors were damaged by the wind.
Travel by bus Greyhound and Trailways buses were
delayed for an hour or two through the night but all buses go
ing all directions were moving on schedule Saturday morning.
Travel by train Southern Pacific Co.'s Cascade pas
senger train from California came in "a few minutes ahead"
of schedule Saturday morning indicating "the line south is in
good order."
The Shasta Daylight passenger train, however, due in Eu
gene at 10:55 a.m., was held in Portland until 10 a.m. and was
to be here by 12:30 p m. The mail train from Portland due in
at 1:45 a.m. was delayed until about 11:30 a.m. The south
bound Cascade due to leave Eugene at 6:30 p.m. Friday, did
not do so until 5:30 a.m. Saturday after being held in Canny.
Travel by truck Truck freight offices in Eugene report
ed trucks moving again Saturday morning after having been
held up Friday afternoon and most of the night.
One freight line said that in general "there will be approxi
mately an 18-hour delay" in freight going north and south due
to the storm.
Pacific Motor Trucking Co. said two empty trailers at its
Eugene terminal were blown on their sides by the wind.
On the local scene the Lane County Highway Dept. was
sending its crews out Saturday morning to check the main
county roads. The department said all county-maintained roads
should be open at least to one way traffic by Saturday evening.
The department asked travelers to use caution because there
are so many roads with trees across them that not all of them
can be marked by flares.
Eugene's main streets were passable Saturday morning
although some provided only one clear lane for traffic at
some points. Quite a few isolated residential streets were
blocked by downed trees, Matsler noted.
The worst street closures occurred on the west side of
town affecting Fifth, Sixth. Seventh and Eleventh Avenues.
City Traffic Engineer Gordon Wyatt estimated 70 per cent of
the traffic signals to be out of service Saturday.
The Springfield Street Dept. reported Saturday that only
one primary street was still blocked. Main Street between 28th
and 35th Streets. The only other streets actually closed to all
traffic, even emergency vehicles, were 70th and 71st Streets
in the east end of the city.
Street crews were waiting for the Eugene Water 4 Electric
Board to shut off power in that area before going in to clear
out the trees.
Eugene Postmaster Ethan Newman said Saturday morn
ing, "Our rural carriers will go as far as they can with safety."
The Star Route carrier to Florence went out early Satur
day and got as far as Cheshire before being forced to turn back.
Newman said some mail in street-corner boxes "will be wet
but we're going to deliver it."
Newman noted that most connections were made with out
side points, hut the mail train was delayed nut nf Portland
and mail from there was light, indicating that Portland stopped
distribution early.

routed by the fire. Among them
were Mrs. George (Amelia)
Wilhelm and her son; the Rob
ert Kelly family; the George A.
Palmer family; the W. A. Col
lingswood, and the Odell Wil
liams family.
9 Departments Respond
Fire quickly spread to the
houses from the warehouse.
Most of the damage was in I
two-block area bounded by First
and Third avenues and Front
and Greenwood streets. By 8
p.m. the various blazes were
under control.
Nine fire departments, 13
trucks and some 65 men helped
fight the blaze. Junction City
Fire Lt. Dee Linch said these
departments answered the call
for help: Alvadore, Monroe,
Harrisburg, Veneta, Eugene, Co
burg, Belhel-Danebo and Cot
tage Grove. Twenty-eight Junc
tion City volunteers were man
ning equipment.
Vard Nelsen, civil defense di
rector, said fire fighters used
"just plain guts" to keep the
blaze from sweeping north
through town.
Max Strauss, local Red Cross
official, similarly praised fire
men. "How they stopped it,
with all this wind well, it was
just a miracle, that's all.".

COUNTY'S HOME NEWSPAPER.
But fire damage wasn't the
only kind being surveyed here
Saturday.
Supt. Homer Dixon was in
specting schools. Friday night
he said 25 per cent of the roofs
at the high school, junior high
school and Central Grade School
had been blown away.
He feared water leakage
would ruin gymnasium floors in
the high school and junior high
school. Dixon expressed doubt
that school would be held Mon
day. Hazel Townsend, 420 W.
Tenth Ave., was looking for a
new home. She and her nephew
were inside the house at about
4 p.m. Friday when a huge oak,
about five feet in diameter, was
uprooted and crashed onto the
roof. An inspection of the house
Saturday morning revealed
buckled walls and drooping ceil
ings. The large screen at the
Vista Drive-In Theater was
smashed to the ground during
the height of the storm.
A recently installed canopy
cover at Nix Motor Co. was
blown away.
The scrap burner at the
Larsen, Clark and Powell saw
mill leaned like the tower of
Pisa, weakened when metal
sheeting was blown off its ex
terior. Winds
With Communications
By SAM FREAR
or the Register-Guard
In a word, communications in
the Emerald Empire Saturday
morning were a tangled mess.
Officials of electric and tele
phone companies surveyed
thousands upon thousands of
trouble reports, but hopefully
predicted most persons will have
service by Saturday night.
. But not all. Most utilities con
tacted said it will be several
days before normal service is
completely restored.
The Eugene Water & Electric
Board, for example, on Satur
day was still sorting out thous
ands of little blue slips marked
"electric trouble report." These
ranged through downed poles,
broken lines, disconnected
house service, and trees across
lines.
Not Even a Guess
EWEB Deputy Supt. Byron
Taylor predicted that costs of
damage to the utility may range
between $50,000 and $100,000.
The Pacific Northwest Tele
phone Co., however, could not
hazard a guess about damage
cost estimates, it was still in the
process of trying to determine
how many problems it had.
"We still have major prob
lems," said District Cpmmercial
Manager John Helfrich.
The rampaging winds serious
ly damaged two communication
facilities. Television station
KEZI reported that winds did
extensive damage to transmit
ting facilities atop the Coburg
hills, but the exact nature will
not be known until crews hack
their way through trees to reach
the site.
And radio station KEED got
back on the air Saturday morn
ing without the use of its 220
foot tower. Owner Glenn Stadlcr
said this "buckled up like a
piece of taffy" at the height of
the storm.
KEZI was not predicting Sat
urday when it would be able
to so hack into service. It ap
pears the television station hag
lost a micro wave iranMimtur in
the Coburg Hills and several
towers arc apparently cither
blown over and or bent.
The station definitely won't
be on the air Saturday, and
could only hope for transmis
sion on Sunday.
At KEED, Stadler said that
the station resumed broadcast
ing at 11 a.m. Saturday using
a weather ballon floating 200
feet above Uie station with an
aerial attached to it. Meanwhile,
it is attempting to get a new
tower, but this would take sev
eral days at least, Stadlcr said.
He estimated the damage at the
station will amount at least
$5,000.
Other radio slations were nut

four registered Pekingese pups
which were in an out building

Some quick action, calculated
to save the contents of one
house from water damage, back
fired. All of the contents of
Dovie J. Dodson's home, 330
Greenwood St., were moved into
the street so firemen could soak
the house with water. But it
began to rain and Mrs. Dodson's
belongings were soaked.
Store Burned in '59
The second worst fire in this
community's history occurred
three years ago next Wednes
day. It was on Oct. 18, 1959, that
the Safeway store here was de
stroyed. Farmers' Warehouse was one
of the old landmarks here.
Wright said the first portion
of it was built between 1870
and 1880. In 1956 about 10,000
square feet were added. At one
time the building was called
Junction City Cooperative Ex
change, Wright, who has owned the
firm for the past six years, said
an average of ten people were
employed there.
Although the building and its
contents were insured, Wright
said Friday night he didn't
have any immediate plans for
rebuilding.
Played
cause of power outages. KUGN
was still awaiting power at mid-
morning Saturday, worrying
whether it would be on the
air in time to broadcast the Oregon-Rice
football game from
Houston.
The Saturday morning atmo
sphere was considerably differ
ent from that of a scant 12
hours earlier. At EWEB, for ex
ample, at the height of the
storm the office was operating
on emergency power. The
switchboard, manned by two
girls, had lights blinking all
over its face. In several rooms
radios blared away.
The man on the spot was
Howard Slenshocl, superintend
ent of the electric department,
who had seven crews reporting
to him by radio and needing
split-second decisions on what
to do. y
The primary concern during
the night was keeping up ser
vice to emergency facilities.
Power was never out at Sacred
Heart General Hospital, and
was restored to the Eugene Hos
pital and Clinic after several
l hours.
Saturday morning the EWEB
offices were still busy, Tele
phones kept ringing, but the
over all atmosphere was one of
getting work done. People were
sorting out trouble reports, and
Stenshocl was still methodical
ly routing repair crews.
"We're setting up work to get
the main stem done first," Tay
lor said. He hoped, however,
that most of the utility's 30,000
customers would cat dinner by
electric light tonight.
5,000 Still Without Service
There was no particular area
where EWEB ran into more
trouble than In others. "For all
intents and purposes, every
thing is down," a dispatcher
noted Friday evening.
And this was true. Not only
were crews struggling to. re
store electric service, hut the
water department had to worry
about water mains broken when
trees uprooted, dragging pipes
with them.
some 5.000 Eugene customers i
were still without service Sat- j
urday morning. Manager Hel
frich said that company offices
as far away as Boise, Fresno ,
and Utah were alerted to send
crews and equipment Into the
Willamette Valley to help re
store service.
Helfrich could make no pre-
diction about when completely
normal services will he restored.
But considering the damage, the :
company was in "pretty good
shape" already by Saturday, he
said.
Pacific Telephone had to go
on emergency status about 4
p.m. Friday, putting auxiliary
generators to work. But these
Weeks to Estimate
Lane Loss
May Top
$2 Million
Damage from Friday's slorm
in Lane County will total well
over $2 million, and will take
weeks to be totally assessed.
A survey of owners of dam
aged property showed that
about $1,050,000 damage was
caused in the larger, more
spectacular fires and fallen
buildings.
To this can be added at least
$1 million more from smaller
buildings, rooftops, glass win
dows, dented autos and hun
dreds of miscellaneous items.
These are the known dam
age assessments:
Fire at Junction City,
which destroyed a large ware
house and six houses $445,000.
Sunset Home in Eugene,
where wind toppled a chapel,
killing one and injuring anoth
er $75,000.
Total damage to six lum
ber mills in the western Eu
gene region, where wind fanned
flames in burners and started
fires $150,000.
Eugene Water and Electric
Board: A very rough estimate
because of extent of power
failures. Including an estimate
of labor cost $100,000.
Electrical facilities in the
Florence-Mapleton area at
least $80,000.
Glass and other items in
the Eugene business district
$100,000.
Boats, aircraft and other
items in the general Florence
area at least $100,000.
Havoc
were only on for several hours
beforo EWEB restored power
to the utility.
Meanwhile, the other munici
pal utilities were having their
problems.
The Lane Electric Coopera
tive, serving the upper Mc
Kenizie, Veneta, Elmira, Oak-
ridgc, Lorane and Cottage Grove
rural areas, was struggling to
restore service to more than
half of its 6,000 customers.
Assistant Manager Lowell
Shay said Saturday that the
heaviest damage to co-op lines
was in the McKenzie and Ven-
eta-Elmira communities.
Oakridge wasn't hit too hard
for the utility, but Shay said
service to other areas might be
off "quite a lot longer" into
next week.
'Pretty Well Restored'
Jack Criswell, superintendent
of the Springfield Utility Board,
said the system Saturday morn
ing "was pretty well patched
back together" after crews
worked throughout the night.
The utility's four main feed
ers were back together, but
there were many isolated trou
ble cases because of line dam
age. The biggest problem, he
said, came between 28th and
32nd streets, but he hoped to
have service restored here by
Saturday afternoon.
At Pacific Power & Light
Co., a spokesman said the util
ity has the urban area services
"pretty well restored" but some
rural areas were still out Satur
day with trees over lines.
He said the utility fared better
than it first thought.
Blachly-Lane County Co-op,
which serves some 1,260 cus
tomers west from Highway 09
North to beyond Maplcton, was
gradually getting service restor
ed Saturday.
'Most Lines Restored
Mrs. Dale Swancutt of Junc
tion City, wife of the co-op
manager, said crews here also
worked through the night to re
store service.
She said, however, they often
became hampered by roads into
some of the co op service areas
that were blocked by fallen
trees. Lines were out in a wide
spread area.
And the Bonneville Power
Administration which transmits
electrical energy to all these
utilities reported Saturday it Is
in pretty good shape.
An official said that moat of
Its lines wero restored, with
only one of Walton in the Emer
ald Empire still out on Satur
day. The system Is in a fortunate
position, he said, if being able
to keep pace with its customers,
and as they restore their own
nervier, Bnnnevillo can send
them the power.
Quard Units
Patrol Portland
(From AP, UPI Reports)
A howling killer storm with wind gusting to more than
100 miles an hour left at least 26 persons dead and a broad
band of devastation along tha West Coast Saturday.
That made the two-day toll of 35 killed by successive
storms, with 13 dead in Oregon, 11 in California, 8 in Wash
ington and 3 in British Columbia.
National Guard units and all availablo police were on
duty in the Portland area to curb looting, which began after
the wind smashed hundreds of store windows Friday.
Portland was virtually paralyzed. Most power and tele
phone lines wero broken by winds that sent signboards sail
ing, knocked down thousands of trees, tore the roofs off
scores of buildings and blew in countless windows.
The city sprawled in darkness Friday night, and residents
holed up in their homes, fearful of flying debris outside.
It was the same along the Oregon coast and in a number
of Oregon communities up the Willamette Valley.
The storm was felt from northern California to British
Columbia, but Oregon caught the worst of it.
'OREGON'S BIGGEST DISASTER
"It was probably the biggest disaster that Oregon ever
had," said Gov, Mark Hatfield, who declared a state of emer
gency and alerted the National Guard. Some guard units went
on active duty in the Willamette Valley. Hatfield wired Pres
ident Kennedy alerting him to the possibility Oregon may
ask for federal disaster aid.
The worst was over Saturday. Winds were diminishing and
the Weather Bureau said winds of only 25 to 30 miles an hour
were expected on the coast.
Oregon Public Utility Commissioner Jonel Hill estimated
it will take at least four days to repair utility lines.
In Sastoria, at the mouth of the Columbia River where the
storm apparently centered a fish cannery was flattened, .
The peak force of the wind at Portland was not measured.
Power lines were knocked out at the Weather Bureau before
the height of the storm. Wind-measuring equipment registered
80 miles an hour before going out of operation. Experienced
weather observers estimated the gusts at well over 100 m.p.h.
They measured at 120 m.p.h at a station on the northern
Oregon coast. Mt. Tamalpais in California, just north of San
Francisco, registered 121 m.p.h
Hundreds of streets were blocked by toppled trees. U.S. 101
was blocked by downed redwood trees between Eureka and
Crescent City, Calif.
The Pacific Northwest Bell Telephone Co. said its repair
bills alone will amount to $400,000 or more.
NO SHIPPING DISASTERS
Shipping disasters wero avoided, although at one time there
were boats adrift at Seattle, Portland and a number of smaller
ports. . ,
Gold Beach, reeling from tho effects of a storm which
caused damage estimated up to $1 miUi'.n Thursay, was hit
again. Twelve families were evacuated and several buildings,
which survived the first blow, succumbed to the second. Two
sections of Pacific High School at Port Orford were wrecked.
At Coos Bay, the wind toppled a 200-foot steel tower which
carried a 115 000-volt electrical line across the bay. The tower
brought two smaller wooden towers crashing down with it and
blocked the main shipping channel.
Off Crescent City, Calif., the Blunt's Reef lighthouse snapped
its moorings and began drifting away. A Coast Guard cutter
rescued it and got it back in position.
Houseboats broke loose from their mooring at Portland,
and were blown across the Willamette River to the opposite
shore.
The storm damage was almost entirely in the 125-mile
wide belt between the coast and the Cascade Range. The
mountain range cut the wind velocity.
Weather Bureau said the storm like the one that pre
ceded it by 24 hours formed 900 miles off San Francisco,
moved easterly, then shifted to the northwest.
The first storm also had hurricane force gusts, but lt was
not as fierce as tho second storm. Weather Bureau forecasters
said the second one was intensified when cold air from the
Bering Sea reached the warm air of the tropical storm.
'LOST' TRAINS FOUND
At one point three trains were reported missing between
Seattle and Portland. It turned out they were delayed by
trees and debris on the tracks, but with all communications
out it took hours to locate them.
Public buildings were hard-hit. A 40-foot-long section of
the Portland auditorium roof was blown off and carried a
block away. The city's Memorial Coliseum suffered shattered
windows and the roof was leaking badly. Multnomah Stadium
where the Washington-Oregon State football game was sched
uled today, lost part of its grandstand roof.
A 230,000-volt power line spanning the Columbia River
near Vancouver, toppled into the river when a 553-foot tower
collapsed. Portland International Airport was closed at 8:30
p.m.
Portland Meadows racetrack reported $100,000 damage in
the first hour of the storm. Horses ran loose and barns col
lapsed hut there were no reports of injuries. The track's pro
grams Friday night and Saturday were canceled.
Television Station KGW-TV lost its 600-foot antenna and
will be off the air indefinitely.
Airplanes were overturned at a number of points and at
Ashland, even an airplane hangar was blown over.
The capitol mall at Salem was a mess. Trees sprawled
everywhere. Numerous cars were trapped in the center by
the trees.
So many power lines were down that a bus driver said he
drove in complete darkness. "I don't think I saw a light in a
building until I got to Eugene," he said.
Six-ocean-going ships were blown adrift in the Portland
harbor. One bumped into the Hawthorne Bridge across the
Willamette River, but it and the others were retrieved without
major damage. It was feared there was damage to tho bridge.
The bridge and three others across the Willamette were
closed to traffic until they could be checked thoroughly.
Debris had piled up against the other bridges.
In addition to wind damage in California grape growers
said they may suffer a $40 million loss because of tho storm
borne rains that caught them before completion of the harvest.
WORLD'S FAIR CLOSES
In Washington, the eight deaths included five persons
crushed by falling trees. Damage was expected to run into
millions of dollars. Sixteen persons were injured in the Long
view area on the Columbia River north of Portland.
Winds up to 83 m.p.h. whipped Seattle and that city's
World's Fair had to close its doors at 9:15 p.m., five hours
ahead of the normal closing time. On the fairgrounds, trees
snapped like matchsticks and the wind whistled through the
towering space needle tripod and made a sound like a giant
tuning fork. Signs were toppled and some exhibits received
minor damage.
Hundreds of rural roads were blocked by fallen trees
and several communities were without power. Two pet lions,
frightened by the storm, escaped from their pen at Spanaway
near Tacoma, attacked three persons and had to be shot.
Congress Quits for Year
WASHINGTON 11 Congress
finally ended its longest session
in 11 years Saturday after send
ing to President Kennedy a $5
billion public works bill and a
$2.4 billion authorization for
similar projects In the future.
As one of their final acts, the
House and Senate agreed a
Wednesday, Jan, 6, 1963, as the
date the new 88th Congress will
open.
The Senate quit first at 2:41
p.m. (EST). The House follow
ed 1 hour and 4 minutes later.
It was the latest windup of
Congress since the Korean war
year of 1B5L
