done in the town, for there is very brisk
trade carried on, and stores of ali kinds
show fine stocks of goods and evidently
are doing we'll In fact, there is no other
town of 1000 people In any part of the
country showing greater signs of prosper
itv in its trade during these hard times
than Santa Barbara.
This is in part due to the fact that a
large numb ber of the people derive their
incomes from their old homes. These in
comes are Literally spent, and of course
get into quick circulation among all
classes. Then, too, walnuts, lemons, pc
troleum. asphaltum, olive oil, wool. horses.
sheep and cattle, grain, beans and dairy
products bring in steadily large amounts
of money which are fairly distributed
among the whole population. As a conse-
ouence there is no lack of money and
trade is good.
Neither do l mean to imply that the
people think so much of leisure and re-
pose that they have failed to DO the amount
OF work necessary to improve and beautify
the town. The place is thoroug hly
equipped in the up -to-date stvle. Its
streets are graded and sidewaIked. Some
miles of paving are already laid. 1t is
perfectly lighted. Its streets are sprinkled
and sewers flushed with sea water. 1t has
an electric railroad and splendid public
library. In short, as it had to be a modern
pleasant and comfortable place in the
State. One thing it lacks-a bathhouse-
but that lack will soon be supplied The
Board of Trade mas taken hold of the
matter, and soon suitable bathing place
to cost $40. 900 will be built.

DESTRUCTION OF HAMILTON.
The Washington Town Almost Completely
Swept Away BY the Flood of
Last Week

SEATTLE, WASH, Nov. pa Mount
Vernon special concerning the damage by
food to the town of Hamilton, Skagit
County, says: The town is a complete
wreck. The big brick store building of
Barker & Fontaine is a heap of ruins,
and goods are buried under fallen walls.
Streets are washed out, sidewalks gone
and the town is filled with trees, stumps
and rubbish. Every one is discouraged
and heartbroken.
Water invaded every house in the lower
part OF town, and some people were pris-
oners upstairs until Sunday noon, when
they were taken off in boats.
The track of the Seattle and Northern
Railway between Woolley and Hamilton
has been almost completely destroyed,
and it will probably be two weeks before
the road is in good working condition
again. The mail is now being taken on a
handcar from Whitney Station.
The loss to up-river ranchers will be
heavy, as considerable stock was lost No
precautions against food had been taken
at Hamilton, as the river never caused
trouble there before. The river was sew
eral feet higher than it was ever known to
have been before.

little valley lying between the mountains
and the sea time out of mind.
Other towns might get impatient and be
in a hurry. put Santa Barbara never.
Nature set the pace for the people. The
unchanging aspect of the mountains sug-
gested repose. The calm sea, with its
ebbing and flowing tides, taught man the
lesson of ceaseless activity, without worry
or excitement.
The coming and going OF the peerless
days without extremes OF weather showed
that mans life could run calmly like a
deep river to the sea. Men have taken all
this to heart and it must be stormy ma
ture indeed which is not subdued by such
an environment.
As consequence there is no other town
in the republic which is so wise in it's lei
sure or SO unhurrying in its business. Life
seems perpetual holiday. Always there
are picnics on the beach at sunset or by
moonlight. or horseback and coaching
parties coming and going, or the best OF
music at the Sea Plaza or at the Arllngt
ejEverywh here there is gay laughter and
music and the Dabble of merry voices
This holiday making comes mainly
from two causes: first there is a large
class of residents who have retired from
business and have much leisure on their
| hands; and second, the surroundings oi
| the town ana its perfect climate invite the
| people to an out-of-door life.
The. mountains with their many green
CANYONS, are on one side of the town, and
| the sea upon the other, and these afford
| unfailing pleasure.
| Business and professional men make d
| practice each year of leaving the cares OF
| their shops and Offices behind them and
betaking themselves TO pleasant camps in
the mountains and canyons. 1t is rare,
| indeed, to find family which has moi
spent at least fortnight in camp.
| All this shows that the Barbareno has
caught on to the secret of wise living. To
rest or play is mans normal condition.
| To work is forced and unnatural copdi-
lion, and therefore too much work brings
| inevitable harm in either giving q
cramped nature or diseased body
| But the Barbareno does not shirk his
work. He simply does it wisely. Neither

as nature ever spread before mems eyes,
made up of valleys and fountains, islands
and sea.
The next place of greatest interest is the
beach. 1t is skirted by sea road, parity
paved for two miles. The road ends in a
plaza touched by high tide, and is such a
lovely spot that crowds of saunterers are
always found enjoying its beauties.
At full moon, or when the long row of
electric lights are lit and the tuIl tide is
coming in from the mysterious spaces
beyond, it seems a place of enchant-
ment.
Santa Barbara weather need not be
spoken OF. Ii is as perfect as weather can
be. He who is not satisfied with it will
only find his ideal in paradise. The town
is on the eve OF a marked advance in popu-
lation. 1t only needs the com pletion of
the coast Ioad-and this is a matter OF
months-to send it forward with bound
TO first-class position in commercial
sense-a position 1t already occupies with
respect to health and pleasures.

Narrow Escape of Hotel

The Building They Occupied

Half-Clad Inmates Rush Out just

PORTLAND, Or, Nov. 22.-During the
food on Thursday the lodging-house of

ington. was swept away. Just before it
went the dodgers, twelve in number, were
hastily routed out of their beds by Jacob
Klein and told to flee for their lives. The
building was a large one. about 35xS0,
three stories and basement. 1t had been
well finished and furnished only recently,
and was to be opened as a hotel in a day
or two more.
As the dodgers rushed into the barroom
an immense Iarch tree came down Glacier
Creek at terrible rate, tore through the
Monte Cristo concentrator's high railroad
trestle, taking out three bents, next
through the switchback trestle, taking out
three more bents then through the rail-
road main line bridge, knocking out four
bents, and the mass of wreckage bore down
with fearful force into Sauk River and
headed straight for the Cleveland & Klein
building.
run, boys" yelled Klein, and as the
great building swung around at right
angles to the stream and the south side
tilted up into the air the men leaped for
their lives and fell in a heap in front OF
the fish market and scrambled through
the water to land.
The building toppied entirely over, and
its immense mass damned Sauk River
long enough to raise the fish market bodily
from its foundation, and as the hotel was
torn and rent to splinters, and the river
channel cleared. the smaller building was
swept down the canyon and was torn to
pieces.
About the same time an avalanche oi
soft mud and slush came down from the
Sauk lode mining claim, and this, with
the mass of wreckage from the bridges
snd buildings, damned Sauk River, which
cut new channel through Douglas ave.
nue.. The residents of Monte Cristo were
compelled to flee and that quickly. The
river cut through the railroad embank.
ment below the switchback, and tool
down the north side of the track and cut
it a second time, returning to its old chan.
mel a short distance above the railroad
bridge, which, being of strongly driven
piles, withstood the strain, and is still
intact. About 200 feet of the mbankment
went out.
Nine miners are reported missing, but
. it is believed that they made their way
along the hiIlsioes to Silverton. However,
nothing has yet been heard from any ot
them.
