SEATTLE, Nov. 2O.-The most serious
damage done. by the recent flood so far
reported was at Mount Vernon. The
dykes surrounding the town broke last
night and within an hour the whole
town was under two feet of water. Hun
dreds of men worked like Trojans, but
their work was in vain as the river con-
tinued to rise until it reached height
two feet higher than it was four years
ago when the whole Skagit valley was
inundated. Hundreds of head of stock
were drowned and many barns and
grsnaries washed away. .~
The Great Northern track below town
is washed out for a distance of 800 feet,
and above the railway bridge one mile
Of the road is crippled. 1t is estimated
that it will cost at least $4,000 to repair
the dykes in this one district The water
lis subsiding but still running in through
the breaks. 1t will be at least ten days
before the water leaves the lowland$
The whole country for distance of 20
miles to salt water is under water from
four to seven feet.
