5IEDF0T?D MAIL TRTBTTXE. rEDFOUD, OREGON. THTRSDaY. SEPTEMBER 22. 193$. PAGE SEVEN DEATH AND RUIN IN WAKE OF WORST GALE IN CENTURY (Continued from rage One.) the wind was added, at some points, the destruction of fire. At one point on the Cape Cod canal. Onset, the whole population of 2000 rushed to the village's one hill to escape Inundation from great waves which made the town an Island. Of the seven states hit by the storm. Massachusetts had the largest number of dead well above oO. Others where fatalities "were high were Rhode Island, Connecticut and New York. New Jersey, Vermont and New Hampshire escaped the full horror. IjOOllIlg DMU UCU elf KCB pUUllS. The storm flooded hundreds of miles of rich farm lands, ripped out bridges, railroads and highways, de- if nifen TASTE AND COMPARE FOR TRUE LAGER FLAVOR! 1ET the side-by-side taste test eon ' vince you I You'll see how Hop Gold's three full months of aging brings out the mellow natural goodness for which true lager beer is known and loved the world over I Try it today! STAR BREWERY COMPANY. VANCOUVER.' WASH. EXTRA! NOW AVAILABLE ALSO IN CANS molUhed buildings, sank boats, de stroyed livestock, tore down tele phone and light wires and left scores of communities Isolated In chaos and fesr. Volunteer workers dropped worka day tasks to search debris for bodies of mlsslsng victims or rescue resi dents marooned by floods. Red Cross authorities mobilised their forces to feed and comfort hysterical refu gees. Coast guard headquarters In Wash ington dispatched 3500 men and scores of cutters to the storm scene. Gotham Missed The hurricane, which spared the Florida and the southern coast as It curved northward, by a similar fluke missed New York city in its haphazard march of destruction. Sections of Manhattan and the Bronx were plunged into darkness for hours, and a power failure stranded several thousand subway patrons underground for several hours, but the rock-based skyscrapers of the city weathered the winds easily. Torrential rains forced hun dreds of residents In low-lying sec tions of the Bronx to flee to safety. Waves battered the entire 100-mlle length of LongTsland. washing away hundreds of small summer cottages and beach buildings. Among them was a lighthouse that had withstood the sea's whims for 75 years. Most forlorn of the "gold coast's" Tillages was West Hampton, a sum mer playground for New York so ciety, where at least -140 homes were wrecked. A dozen bodies lay In the exclusive West Hampton Country club, many unidentified. Connecticut Hard Hit Whistling northward with unabated power, the hurricane struck Con necticut, already harassed by flood, and claimed at least 22 more victims. Gov. Charles F. Hurley of Massa chusetts declared a fuel and food emergency, and his -council approved a 25,000 flood relief appropriation. The storm paralyzed shipping in Boston Harbor, stopped railroad traf fic to Montreal and tied up many of the state's highways. A tugboat, sinking in the harbor, carried seven men to death. The situation was so extreme in Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Connecticut authorities mobilized all possible forces Including the army, national guard, state health depart ment workers, and Boy Scouts for relief work. Msny towns. Isolated by floods, were out of communication, Crop Loss High The hurricane wrought extensive crop damage in New Jersey and the mainland of New York. Dozens of small craft along "the Jersey shore were driven Inland and shore bunga lows were ripped apart. . The rains stalled trains In the Hudson Ac Manhattan tubes for sev eral hours and played general havoc with New York city's complicated transportation network. Eastern New York, struck only by the "edge" of the storm, suffered from floods and blocked highways More than 10.000 trees in West chester, the nation's wealthiest coun ty, were uprooted. E SUDETEN REGION TO EGER, Czechoslovakia, Sept. M. ( AP ) Czechoslovak soldiers, gen- darmet and police began retiring from the Sudeten Oerman region at midday today as the first step to ward carrying out the annexation of the territory by Germany. They fell back by mutual agree ment toward the language frontier" line which aeparatea the Czech- speaking areas from district where German la the predominant language. Simultaneously with their with drawal, the Sudeten "Free Corpa" organized in Germany by Sudeten Leader Konrad Henlein marched In from all aides of the frontier. The two military forces, however, did not meet during their marches. Reports reaching Eger from other districts said all was quiet and the Czechoslovak soldiers left In perfect discipline. The only excitement was caused by a report three army tanks were en route from Falkenau to Eger, In reality they were on their way out of the Sudeten territory. As news of the evacuation spread the Sudetena immediately went on a wild holiday. Crowds eight and ten deep had stood all night in the streets of many towns in the belief the German army was coming. No German troops were visible along the frontier this morn ing, however. ' The entire territory waa a mass of swastika flags. The Sudetens saluted everybody, shouting "Heil Hitler." Farmers driving oxcarts and smoking crooked, long-stem pipes beamed as they raised their hands In the Nut salute. . f ' Livestock Portland , PORTLAND. Ore..

BAKER. Sept. 32. (AP) Deer hunters were reported today to be so numerous In the Medical Springs sec tion they were almost afraid to hunt for fear of being mistaken for deer. A state police officer said some hunters eat down In open places to wait for deer rather than go Into brushy regions and chance being shot by the army of hunters.
