Stucco there had been cracked some near the north door and in two places those cracks opened up wide enough to look through from the inside and see outdoors all the way from the first floor to the second story. Plaster fell off in many places and cracks in several other places were found. Being so close to noon the children of th" three lower grades had been dismissed and they were out playin.'. Most of the others were in the lunch room. There was crowding and panic when it struck, but some of the faculty members ordered them to march out fast and orderly, and they got out without any trouble. Two weYe reported to have bruises and scratches from pushing, but nothing serious. Dishes in the lunch room and things in various rooms began falling. A piano on the second floor of the building tipped over backwards on the floor. The school was closed immed- iately and after examination Thursday by state inspector both the Rainier school and the Fern hill school were condemned. The stucco addition of the grade school building can not be used at all. Classes can be held in the (Note: A word picture of the earthquake last week as it affected Mist was written afterwards by Mrs. Austin Dowling, news writer for The Eagle from that com munity. Her account follows.) “How the quake effected people in our community. Writing from our own personal feelings, we were preparing lunch when a sound like a very heavy shaking of trees and a big wind coming up, ac companied by a low rumble, was heard. About that time glass began to rattle, dishes tumbled over and everything in general commenced to sway. “The house even seemed sway and the brick chimney hung in the balance. We began to get very dizzy and taking our daugh ter by the hand, tfe staggered to the door and fled for the open. Even then it never came to us it was an earthquake until some one said “quake”. As we looked toward the house the brick flu rocked to and fro. • “Damage done in our community included toppling of chimneys from several houses, the store had many cans knocked from the shelves, vinegar bottles and jugs were broken and the goods were gen et ally shaken up. Others had there fire places destroyed. “We just remember, when we were a small girl away back in N. H., quite a heavy earthquake. Don’t rememebr if it was as bad as the one last week.” i PAULSON — GRASS MOTORS ì Camp People LEE MOTORS BLDG.

Churches and lodges have been contacted to try to find space for these grades. The high school was not damag ed to any extent. There are a few cracks in plaster, but early inspection revealed nothing ser ious. The Fern Hill schoolhouse lost its chimney. The janitor was there. He immediately put out the fire in the furnace. Damage to hilliness buildings was also reported as considerable. The front of the building housing the State Bank of Rainier bulged outward and necessitated exten sive repair work.
