More than a hun dred buildings are reported to have been wrecked, and the streets of sev eral coast villages are flooded. RECEDING FLOOD WRECKS FLOURING MILL FLUME About the only damage resulting from the swiftly-receding water af ter the big rise in the Willamptte at this point, was the demolishing of about 60 feet .of the. flume in South Mill creek, which carries water from the ditch near the Salem water works to the Salem flouring mill. The high water undermined the flume, thus weakening tho supports, and when the water fell below tho main body of the flume, the extra weight crum bled the posts.

PASSENGERS FLEE TO STATEROOMS IN TERROR Precaution of Captain Thomas, in Fastening Life Nets About tho Decks, Saves the Life of Careless Passenger from Seattle -Steward ess Also Has Close Call. UNITED 1'ItnSS LEASED W1RD. San Francisco, Nov. 29. Hatches torn away, and her forecastle shat tered, the steamer President, tho swift passenger vessel of the Pacific Coast Steamship Line, entered this harbor early today, 20 hours lato on her run from Seattle. For a night and a day the President was tossed and battered by a terrific southeast gale, encountered off Capo Flattery. Her deck and hatches wero swept by waves that washed tho ship from bow to stern, poured Into tho com panlonways, and caused 300 fright ened passengers to take rofugo in their staterooms. But for the fact that . Captain "Thomas immediately ordered tho- life nettings fastened about the decks, Clyde McCoy, of Seattle, a first cabin passenger, might have lost his life. McCoy ventured from his stateroom, and was caught by a heavy wavo that rushed across tho decks, hurling him into the protecting life not. Shortly after McCoy's experience, a stewardess attempted to cross tho deck, and was thrown down heavily. Sho was so badly brulsod that she ; was confined to her berth for sovoral hours. The President, In command of Cap tain Thomas, left Seattle Friday morning at 10 o'clock. Although tho sky was overcast and threatening, only moderately heavy seas wero en countered as sho passed up tho Sound and through tho Straits of San Juan de Fuca. Immediately af ter rounding Cape Flattery and turn ing into the open sea, enormous ground swells began to roll tho shin. and within threo hours she was plung ing in tno teeth or a torrlfic galo. Hour after hour, according to tho President's passengers, enormous waves swept tho full length of tho decks. Tho covering of tho fore castle companlonway was torn away nnu piled in a heap of wreckage on tho forward decks. Doors wore wrenched from staterooms and shat tored to splinters against tho masts Several staterooms wero flooded, and their seasick occupants drenched by tno enm water. Throughout tho day, and woll Into baturday night, the storm gained in violence. Threo times It was neces sary to stop tho engines to oaso the rending vibration of tho nronollor as it raced high above tho wator.
