MILES OF RAGING FLOOD.

The Far Northwest suffers q Loss OF
Millions-row Under Water.
SETTLE, Wash, Nov. 21.-Damage
amounting probably to millions of dol
lars has been done by floods following
the recent storms. Miles of lands ad-
Jacent TO streams are flooded, scores Of
villages are flooded, bridges have been
carried away, railroad grades washed
out and travel iInpeded in every direc-
ton. At Sedro several lives are report
ed lost, ana fatalities are reported in
Skaglt and the Guyamish Valley.
Mt. Vernon, Hamilton and other
towns are under water, four or more
feet deep, and the people are removing
their effects TO higher ground, fearing
still greater rise. ls Skaglt River navi-
cation is suspended. Nearly 1000. 900
feet of logs came down yesterday, clear
ing out the pier of the wagon bridge at
MI. Vernon. swapping the piles Oft.
The banks of the river are lined with
crowds watching the mad torrent
Several breaks have occurred in the
levee, and the valleyr and towns are the
scenes Of desoiauoD. The lower floors
OF the houses are covered with several
feet of water. In one place the break
in the levee is half mile long and six
feet WIDE. and the torrent is rush
ing madly through the town OF
Fir. Beaver marsh and the town Of
laconnor are also flooded, and the
farmers are driving their stock 10 nigh
ground. The damage TO the farming
districts alone will reach hundreds of
thousands of dollars. The telegraph
lines are Frustrated in many sections,
and when communication has been re-
stored a fearful tale may be told.
Railroad washOuts are reported from
many sections. In many places big
land slides have washed out the road
bed for miles. At Samish Lake and
Riksham several hundred teet Of the
track have been washed ont. Yes
terday Seattle u Northern train
ran of a floating bridge in
the Skagit Valley, plunging into
in the wreck. Word from the town of
Stanwood says that that place is flooded.
Communication with the other districts
is cut off except by boat.
The western part of the state did not
fare SO badly as the northwestern. The
railroads, however, suffered bv land
slides, and considerable track has been
washed away. Many people believe
the worst is not yet known. A log jam
has formed at the Snohomish railway
bridge, and has grown to half mile
in length, and the bridge begins to show
weakness. Should it give way those
living in the bottom lands will perish.
The high waters of the Green, White,
Puyalup, Stuck and Nisqually rivers
still flood the valleys between Puget
Sound and the Cascade Mountains.
All travel on the Northern Pa
citic is suspended except to
Portland. Hundreds of .aen are at
work along the line Of road replacing
washed out bridges and trestles. Re-
ports to-day say that the water is reced-
ing, and that the railroad company ex-
poets to start train to Seattle this aft
ernoon and to the East Tuesday.
