Damage running into the hundreds of thousands of dollars was caused when the reservoir of the Kilmaque Irrigation company, near Haines, went out and the released waters rushed in a wild torrent through the village of Rock Creek, destroying It and de vastating thousands of acres of farm ing territory in the adjacent valley. Purchase of the first installment of a consignment of fir lumber to build 30 wooden ships, obtained by the Emergency fleet corporation, obtained at $30 a thousand, was announced by Chairman Denman, of the shipping board. The lumber was bought from the Coos Bay Lumber company of Ore gon and the contract calls for delivery t seaboard.

Seitz, supervisor of the Cascade national forest.
