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

gle bolts broke loose at the mouth of

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.

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.
