The worst storm which has struck the Pacific Northwest in the last six years was raging last Sunday says a Seattle dispatch. In Seattle the wind, blowing from the southwest, reached a maximum velocity of 40 miles an hour and maintained an average of 36 miles an hour, while rain fell in torrents, increasing the danger from floods made imminent by the melting of the snow on the western slope of the Cas cade mountains. At 5 o'clock Monday evening the temperature was rising and the weather bureau Bent out new flood warnings. The storm center is now off the coast of Northern British Columbia. It is moving south and will center on Puget Sound within the next 24 hours, according to the local weather bureau. Flood Warnings Out. The flood warning sent out by the weather bureau tonight odvlses that there is grave danger of floods in the Puyallup, White, Duwamish, Sno homish and Skagit River valleys. All these streams have their sources In the mountains. The rainfall in Seattle today was an Inch in 12 hours. Since Wednes day the rainfall has amounted to 3.86 inches, equal to the normal pre cipitation for the whole month of February. The railroads are still hampered by snowslldes In the Cascade moun tains. The great Northern and Mil waukee lines are blocked hopelessly, and the Northern Pacific is operating through the ' mountains with diffi culty. Northern Pacific train No. 7, from St. Paul, Arrived in Seattle this afternoon 24 hours late, having been detained at Easton by snowslldes. All other Northern Pacific trains are running from 10 to 20 hours late. Main Line Blocked. All trains using the Northern Pa cific tracks between Tacoma and Portland, Ore., are being detoured by way of Olympla. The main line Is blocked at Rainier, Thurston county, by the wreck of the northbound Portland-Vancouver Limited, which ran Into a slide. The engine and the mail and baggage cars left the track. No one is reported Injured. The Great Northern Is sending ad ditional men to the mountain division to help open the line. Reports from Everett tonight say that snow is fall ing in the mountains and there is little prospect of getting the Great Northern line open within the next 24 hours. Telegraph lines are down and de tails of the storm in the mountains are meager. The Great Northern is operating its St. Paul & Chicago overiand trains via Vancouver, Wash., and the North Bank road. The eastbound Kansas City express has been annulled. Josephinltc Claim Bonded. Capt. E. T. Hagan, living on the Crescent City stage road near Selma, was in the city this week on bus! ness. As usual he had In his pocket a sample of Josephlnlte, which he left at the Courier office to replace the speclment which was "lifted" from Its place on the editorial desk by an enthusiastic collector. Mr. Hngan has been a Josephlnlte prospector for some years and has thoroughly prospected Eight Dollar mountain, and finally found a ledge on which five locations were made. These claims Mr. Hagen has has Just bond ed to Dulnth people for $3000, the bond falling due on May 1.

Abcqlutofy Puro GREAT AVALANCHE BURIES TOWN'S Mining Hamlets of Mace and Burke in Northern Idaho Victims of Snowslidc. SPOKANE, Wash., Feb. 28. In swift succession two terrible disas ters have carried death and dismay to the mining towns of the rich Coeur d'Alene district in Northern Idaho. 35 o'clock last night a snow- slide swept down the mountain side, striking the little town of Mace and burying 25 houses and their sleeping occupants in a mass of snow, ice and wreckage at the bottom of the can yon. At 5:30 a. m., another slide rushed down on the town of Burke, crushing a score of houses under thousands of tons of earth and snow, Fourteen bodies had been recover ed this morning from the ruins of Mace; five dead have been found at Burke, and how many are still burled can only be guessed at. It is feared 50 or 60 lives have been .lost. It was at first feared that the death list at Burke might be even larger than that at Mace. Every man that could be spared from the rescue work at Mace was appealed to. Doctors were rushed from Wallace and two special trains ran. From the foot of the Anchor Mine plant to the Catholic church, about one half mile, the slide is 30 feet deep. Later reports from Burke, how ever, showed the disaster not so bad as feared at first, previous reports from Wallace having confused tho death lists of the two snowslldes. At noon but four bodies had been re covered at Burke, the victims beln;r A. D. PItchott, Richard Shepherd and the children of Mr. and Mrs. George Neuman, both of their par ents being reported injured. James Rogers, a boy, Is known to have been killed. Whether other bodies are hidden under 60 feet of snow can not be determined yet. "My husband, where Is he?" cried Mrs. PaBcoe, wife of the dead super intendent of the Standard mine; when rescuers pulled her out of a mangled mass of twisted iron bed rails under 40 feet of snow at Mace. Only a cast Iron bed post which pro tected her head, saved her from in stant death. Her husband, who was sleeping alongside her, was battered almost beyond recognition. Three children of the Pascoe family lost their lives, but little Katie was res cued by a tolling crew of brawny miners, after being wounded on the head by a flying plere of steel. Mrs. Carrie Hooper was taken from the ruins of her home to be started to the train where were the corpses of the victims. En route she begnn to show signs of life and was resuscitated. The shock stunned her but she will recover. Because of the larger population of Burke, shout floo, the houses are closer together. Children hauled their mothers to the side hill, broth ers literally dragged little Rlstcrs to places of safety and when the slide struck, many of the homes were de serted by fear-stricken women nnd children, while the bread providers were rescuing Injured nt the utrlcken sister town. Oldtlmers In the Coeur d'Alene dis trict "have been sounding dally warn ing to Mace, Burke nnd Blackbenr that hecBUK" of the record depth of the snow', slides were Imminent. For Jh winters, th'se towns have escaped devastating slides and so strong had the confidence of miner residents be ronie In the conviction that their homes and families were safe, no pre caution luil been taken.

Coeur d'Alene, Feb. 28. Tele phone communication with Wallace, Idaho, at 1:30 o'clock shows that first stories of loss of life at Mace and Burke were exaggerated. There were not 100 persons In Mace and two-thirds of these escaped. It 1b positively known, however, that 12 were burled In the avalanche at Mace and two are missing; at Burke four were reported killed and one miss ing. Several persons were injured in both towns. P. W. Klttrell, of Lewlston, wis forwarded word of the death of his son, W. E. Klttrell, and wife and two children In the slide at Burke. Wnllaee, Idaho, Feb, 28. ..The de struction of Burke, a mining camp adjacent to Mace, Is reported today. A second avalanche Is said to have burled It. Burke Is In .reality a continuation of Mace and It is feared the second reported catastrophe may have en dangered some of the rescuers at Mace, Weather conditions throughout the northwest hnve resulted In pros tration of wires and the second snow slide could not be positively verified thlB morning, Thirty-five Italians In a Northern Pn' If lc outfit car dug themselves out this morning, All In the car wero accounted for except one, Race Hulclrle Is not neatly the menace to Increase In population that deaths among In f'in' are.
