MANY CASUALTIES OCCUR (rest Lost Of Crepe rtjr (id Life Swsta Bead Cat off fron tbe World Jeaaie Tbelia Wrecked. Seattle. Nov. 20 The most arloua dam. age done by the rwnl floods, so far aa rnportd. ' at Mount Vernon. The illki-K surrounding the town broke last night and within an hour th whole town wms undw two feet of water. Hundreds of men worked like Trtijana but their work was in vain, aji the river continual o rise untfl It reached a height two feet higher than It was four years ag, lira the whole Skagit valluy was Inunlated. Henry Winkle attempted to Vve his house, but when he got to the door a torrwit of water drovo him bark. He had broken the upper cash of the outer win dow and sat atraddle of the window for ten hours In water up to his waist. Three others, named Foremen, Price and Johnson, who were near Winkle, spent the night on a large atump, the water tielng up to their kneeu. They nearly lerishl with the 00M. Men in a boat were within three hundred yards of them but the current ww so swift and the night ao dark that the dared not at. tempt to rescue the men. Every sidewalk In town Is out of place and at one time every house on the low land had from tour Inches to two feet of water on the floors. Hundreds of head of flock were drowned and many barrel and granaries washed away. The Great Northern track below the town 1s washed out for a distance of J feet, and alve the rway bridge one mile of tho road Is crippled. It Is esti mated that the diimage to the town alone Is J10.0CO and It will cot at least 110, UM to repair the dikes in this one dis trict. Tbe water Is subsiding but still run ning In through the breaks. The whole country, for a distance of 20 miles to salt water. Is under water from four to seven feet. AT SOUTH BEND. Portland, Or., Nov. 20 A terrific gale. which began Tuesd.iy night and raged thirty-six hours, cut South Bend jit from afl telegraphic communication until this noon. For two days steamers were una blo to cross Wlllapa bay, and Wednes day night the Joca! paasenger train was caught hotwven washouts at Frances and is not ex?tcd to arrive until tonight. Tho washouts on tW end of the line are not so serious; but 1t Is understood that tha railroad bridge is washed out over the Chehalis river. In Wlllapa valley no serious damage waa done except to the county bridges, two of them, the Lilly and Stnufer bridgvs, being carried away by tho flood. The IJlly bridge cost $3"00 and Its loss Is a serious one. 1 Early Wednesday morning the lumber schooner Jennie Theltn, wheh waa an chored off North CXve, dragged her an chors and went aground on Empire spit. Flash signals brought out the North cove life crew and the men and valuables on the ehlp wore transferred to the shore. All day Wednesday she pounded on tha spit, but Thursday morning to the sur prise of the crew, she came safely rhllng In North Cove channel, having worked herself across the spit. She Is now beached at South Bond for repairs. BOOM BREAKS. Portland Or., Nov. 20. News has reached here that a boom containing 4, 000,000 feet of logs and 1500 cords of shin gle bolts broke loose at the mouth of the Cwllta river in Washington during the high water Thursday. Two steamers are out after the scat tered logs, but H ia probable the most of them will be lost. The logs are owned by J. N. Hartley and Charles England. HISTORY OF THE STORM. Ft. Canby, Wash., U. S.

LONDON'S GREAT DISASTER DIRXCD DISTRICT QHt HIGC TCRMCC Or S.ICl'IDCRIHG runes. la Appalling Spectacla at .lidaiqht Vill Take Several Days to Ci tiagiisk tke Danes. New York, Nov. 20 A dispatch to the World from LonJin says: la Friday's fire streets a quarter of a mile In length we nvolve-j, 10 ware houses were des'royiJ. 300 Important firms and hundreds r.f minor ot.es were burned out an I dimi-.-! at a loss esti mated dose upln fH.000.OW. At midnight the scene was appalling. The flames had beea extinguished but the vast block of war h !es, so far as the eye could reach, right and left, was one huge furnnce filled with a mass of smoulder ing ruins, in which streams from numer ous hydrants seamed to make no notice able Impression. The streets ran like rivers. Twenty steamer were pumping water thru?rh gaping windows of burnd out buildings, while the sky overhead Tin miles arauad refl.'Med the lurid glare or still glowing embeis. Every avenue lead ing to the scene of the fire was blocked by police- The reason why the fire as sumed such gigantic dimensions was first because of the highly inflammable ma terial charaetjrixing the contents of the dry goods amd tobi'co warehouses where it originated; second, ' 'he extreme dif ficulty of handling it ,-ffect!vely. owing to the exceptionally narrow surrounding streets. Few of th.'se streets permit two vehicles to pass abreast, and the fire brigade had therefore givat difficulty In manipulating the engines and gat'lng them into position. Delay thus caused gave the fire tremendous headway. In the early stages of the fltv the flames tore up through the elevator shafts of the warehojses and spread over each succes sive floor with incredible rapidity; then bursting out through the windows, they roasted froms of houses on oiposite sides of the stre-its, until their woodwork broke Into fire. It will be several days before the Are Is compleVily extinguished, and the ruins thoroughly explored. The conviction Is general that the London fire brigade Is entirely too small to dea! with a great emerge icy, th'.igh the courage and in ergy of the m.'n are fully recognized. NO MORE INDIA.V SOLDIERS. Washington. Nov. 20 The government has decided to make no further experi ments with Indians as soldiers; tho young Sioux who attracted so much attention In the uniform of Uncb Sam's cavalry men at '.he deilicatijn of the World's fair, have all been discharged from the army. It has been decided to abandon the attempt to make soldiers out of them. Tlw officers cf tho army who were as signed to re'.ru.t an1 command the Indian troops made every effort to bring tbe Indians to obey military dlsciplne, but the plan was a falluro and It was found practically iianosibl.i to make them good st Id tors. Hereafter Ind.ans will be used only as scouts. YELLOW FEVER. . San Francisco, Nov. 20. The Norwe gian bark Imperator arrived today from Aoapulco wiih three cases of yellow fe ver among the crew.

Portlosd, Or., Nov. 20 Portland la M have a line of ateumers to Dawson City, which will be equal to any on th eoaat The company, with Colonel John Mo Craken at Its head, 3. C. Alnsworth, a E. Ladd, Cover &or W. P. Lord, John & Baker of Tacoma, M. C. George and E. W. Murphy, aa directors, has been or ganise, and has already purchased a fine vessel for the deep-sea trip, and b secured the option on a second. A num ber of riwr steamers will be built for tba journey from, St. Michaels to Dawson City. The company is Incorporated under tha title of the Oregon and Alaska Trans, portatlon company, and win have head. quarters In Portland. Tha names of the directors give abundant assurance that the new company wlH have plenty of money back of it, and will be made a success. Colonel MoCrakun, preeilent of the company, said yemerday concerning It: "The company has been Incorporated since the 8th of this month, but It was considered advisable not to make Its ob jects public until matters bad been defla IteJy dosed. A steamer has been se cured on the Atlantic coast, and as aooa as aome slight changes can be made In her passenger accommodations she writ clear for Portland. We also have an op tion on -a steamer now on the Pacific " coast, which we expect to close within the next week. Tha total freight capac ity of both these steamers, exclusive of their coal, will be 1S00 tons, and they will have accommodations for 500 passen gers. They will ply between Portland and St. Michuela, connecting at the latter point with the company's river steamer for all upper Yukon points. "We have not yet definitely decided just how many river steamers we will place on the Yukon, as we are uncertain as to whloh of two plans to follow. We are now considering the advisability of plac ing four 500 ton steamers oa the Yukon to ply between St. Michaels and Circle City and two light draft steamers, with a capacity of 250 tons each, t run be tween Circle City and Dawson. Tliesa latter boats can make four round trips, while the stauners between Circle City and St. MichaeU are making one. HAVE YOU TRIED ELECTRICITY?
