C. L Williams, the well-km,» n log

storm that reached cyclonic propor

miles east of Cotta re Grove, last

men wore engaged In getting out logs
for th«' Eugene Lumiver Comiwny at
the time. The wind arose suddenly
and after a brief hall storm It struck
with great force and fury where th«'
men were at work. Hu ge trees were
broken square off 20 and 30 feet
from the grotAid ami as they began to
fall the men becat'.ie alarmed and
sought some place of safety, There
were som«> narrow escapes from
death, as the trees were falling oil all
sides of the men in every dir» ci ion.
The storm lasted onlv about ilv«' min
utes, but tn that time Mr. Williams
says at least 200 t rees

He says this
