SWEPT BY STORM
*
T he w orst storm th a t has ever vis­
ited this section hit th e country last
F rid ay night w hich sta rte d w ith a
heavy rain d uring the nig h t and
tu rn e d into a sle et storm and con­
tin u ed during S aturday and Sunday.
N ever in th e history of th is section
can any one rem em ber such condi­
tions. W hile th e storm was severe
enough in G resham and the sections
ea st of here tow ard Powell Valley
and P lea san t Home, th e conditions
a re n othing com pared to those at
T ro u td ale, F airview and along th e
Colum bia riv er highw ay. Traffic of
all kinds has been held up from th e
east since S aturday n ig h t and seven
p assenger tra in s are rep o rted sta lle d
betw een P o rtlan d and Hood River.
One tra in is at B ridal Veil, one at
M ultnom ah F alls, one a t O neonta
G orge and the o th e rs sh u t in a t v ari­
ous points along th e way.
C o rbett is the fa rth e s t point east
w ith w hich any kind of com m unica­
tion could be established. R eports
com ing in w ere to the effect th a t ice
a foot deep covered th e highw ay.
T rees are stripped of b ranches or
have fallen u nder th e w eight of ice.
Scarcely a telephone o r electric light
pole has been left standing. F ru it
trees in every place have been broken
to th e ground and th e en tire com m u­
nity is reported to p resent an arctic
atm o sphere w hich can scarcely be
m agnified. T he ten-acre p rune orch­
ard of T. L. E vans is rep o rted as
broken to the ground w ith only stu b s
of trees show ing above th e ice.
T he Sandy riv er is a t flood stage
and a t a point above th e club house
th e riv er is cu ttin g into th e bank
and has alm ost reached th e pave­
m ent.
T ro u td ale has been isolated since
th e sto rm and only a few of the most
venturesom e have been able to get
th e re to see th e dam age. T hey re ­
p o rt conditions the w orst in th e his­
tory of th e place.
T he telephone lines, teleg rap h
lines, fences, trees, in fact everything
th a t th e w eight of ice could break
down was flat on th e ground. No re ­
ports of seriously dam aged buildings
was given b u t it was said th a t build­
ings and stre e ts w ere alike, a g lare
of ice.
N ear T ro u td ale th e larg e peach
o rch ard of C. M. L aF o llette, which
com prises nearly 50 acres and has
ju st reached th e bearing stage, has
been practically destroyed h ardly a
tree in all those wide fields b u t w hat
has been sp lit open o r has been
broken entirely down. Many o th e r
o rch ard s w ere sim ilarly ruined. In
som e sections th e trees w ere broken
and in some places they w ere e n tire ­
ly uprooted.
S torm conditions w ere w orse near
th e C olum bia riv er and th e w orst
sections n ea r here w ere on th e San­
dy boulevard th ro u g h F airview and
T ro u td ale and in th e P ark Rose, Mt.

T he W illam ette riv er was reported

The C olum bia riv er at V ancouver
is reported as having raised th ree feet
since th e storm .
At hom e Johnson creek has been
covering th e flats along its course
and th e road bed of th e O. W. P. line
was dam aged to such an ex ten t th a t
ca r service was delayed Monday.
Two hundred o r m ore feet of ro ad ­
bed were w ashed o ut a t Meadow

underm ined n ea r P alm blad sta tio n

A. C. G uynop’s recen tly -b u ilt
large chicken house is p artly u n d e r­
mined and is in th e m idst of a su rg ­
ing flood.
O rnam ental and fru it trees in v a r­
ious p a rts of th e tow n have been u p ­
rooted o r badly broken.
T he telephone system has been
com pletely dem oralized by th e storm ,
only th e sections in tow n being in
use. Most of th e lines in th e city are
cable lines and have proved th e value
of th a t type of construction. O ut on
Powell stre e t in several places larg e
ice-coated lim bs have fallen frpm th e
flr trees and are hanging on th e ca­
bles but the lines have n o t broken
from G resham to th e L u th e ra n church
in Powell Valley w here th e cable
lines end in th a t direction.
Beyond the cables th e re are all
so rts of conditions. On th e Powell
V alley road th ere a re only one o r two
poles standing from th e end of the
cable line to E llio tt's sto re. From
th e re on the w ires are tw isted and
broken b u t only a few poles are down
from th e re on to P leasan t Home.
N orth from G resham the conditions
are even w orse an d th e e n tire line,
poles, w ires and all are tu rn ed over

People who have been over th e ro u te

are in th e T ro u td ale and F airview
