Seattle, Wash, Nov. q Reports received
from the districts visited by the recent
storms show q far greater loss than was at
first anticipated AT Sedro several lives are
reported lost, and fatalities are reported in
Skag1t and Stillaguamish valleys from the
Hoods. Mount Vernon, Fir, Laconner, Ham
1ltoL and other towns are under water four
or more feet deep, and the people are re-
moving their effects to higher ground, fear
ing a still greater rise.
In Skagit river navigation is suspended
Nearly a million feet Of logs came down yes
terday, tearing out the pier OF theS wagon
bridge at Mount Vernon and swapping the
piles Off. Several breaks have occurred in
the leyee and the valleys and towns are the
scenes Of desolation. The lower floors Of the
houses are covered with several feet of va
ter, while the water is out in the streets.
Beaver Marsh and the town Of Laconner are
also flooded, and the farmers are driving
their stock to high ground The damage to
the farming district alone will reach hun
dreds Of thousands of dollars. The tele-
graph lines are Frustrated in many sections,
and when communication has been restored
q fearful tale may be told. Railroad wash
outs are reported from many sections. In
many places big land slides have washed out
the road bed for miles. At Samish Lake and
Ricksham several Kindred feet Of track have
been washed out. Yesterday a Seattle &
Northern train ran into q floating bridge in
the Skagit valley, and the engine and bag
gage car went into the river The fireman
was buried under the locomotive, and the
engineer and baggageman only saved them
selves by jumping.
The log jam at the Snohomish railway
bridge has grown to half mile in length,
and the bridge begins to show weakness.
Should it give way those living in bottom
lands will perish. The steamers Mamie and
Isabella were forced to drift from their
moorings and are now in the center Of the
jam and probably totally wrecked. The first
fatality reported is the death Of ]. A. Me-

The effect of the explosion is shown by the
distance some of the men were blown. Wes-s

air distance of over one hundred yards.
1t is supposed that the explosion was caused
by a piece OF fuse Which became lighted in
some manner and conveyed the fatal spark
to the boxes in which the powder cans were
kept. The scene at the mouth Of the mine
following the explosion was one Of great- ex-
element, the entire population gathered and
the women supposing at first that more of
the men We're in the mine than really were
begged that rescuers go in to them. 1t would
have been death, however, to have gone in
