WASHINGTON WATERS.
The Highest Water Ever Known
in Southwest Washington.
THE RESULT OF PHENOMENAL RAINS.
Several Lives Have Been Lost and S.t-
Elements in the Bottoms County
Literally Swept From the
Face Of the Earth.

TACOMA, Wash, Dec. IA. : Nine
inches of rain in II days. following the
fall floods, have caused the highest wa
ter ever known in the valleys of south
west Washington. During the past
week water has come down the valleys
with terrific crash, breaking dams
and carrying away houses and farm
property. Four bodies have been re-
covered, and others undoubtedly per-
ished
Michael eastman was drowned FRI
day while trying to ford Toutle river.
The bodies Of Mrs. Shumaker and
her daughter. who were drowned in
the Cowlitz food three weeks ago, have
just been found, nearly buried in the
sand, ten miles below where they were
swept off the raft on which they were
trying to escape.
Sunday the body ofan unknown man
was found drifting in the river at Cas-.
tie Rock.
Settlements in the big bottom coun.
try near the headwaters of the Cow
litz river were nearly wiped out by
the floods. Thirty houses were car.
ried down the stream and many fami
lies escaped on RATS after their dwell
ings had been carried for niles Two
persons are reported drowned. Miles
of fences and other improvements are
destroyed.
The people Of that section have ap
pealed for aid, to which the citizens ol
Cheahalis and the surrounding towns
have already responded. Many farm.
ers have lost their seed wheat, which
the county commissioners will be asked
to supply. Since November |, 20 inchci
of water have fallen, or half the usua
| venrlv fall
