HIGH WATER AT CHEHALIs.
River Rose Above Amy Mark Made In
the Last Ten Years.


Special Dispatch to the Post-Intelligencer
CHEHALIS. Nov. H.--The mercury has
dropped almost to the freezing point ana
the waters of the Chehalis and Newaukum
are going down rapidly. The general opin-
ion is that there has not been so much
water in the valleys for more than ten
years. Three years ago there was freshet
that broke alb previous records. but FRI
day at ii o'clock the water stood nearly
foot above the highest mark of that
year.
The old settlers tell Of foods that COW
cred Main street as far up as the Meth
odist church. and few OF the ffrst-com-
ers who disputed possession of the soil
with the aborfgines remember when there
was so much water that one could travel
by boat from halfway up the big hill
east of town to the Ciaquato postoIice
but there have not been any floods OF that
kind In the recollection of the present gen.
Grafton 1t Is quite certain that the water
never reaches such high points nowadays
as 1t did fifteen or twenty years ago. The
rivers have been cleared OF much debris.
and the timber has been cut away a great
deal. so that the water finds its way down
more rapidly.
A great deal OF damage has been done
in the Chehalis and Newaukum valleys.
The Claauato bridge was the most es-
pensive one that has gone out, but a num-
Der of others within few miles of town
are gone.
No damage has been done at the furni-
ture factory. The new dixie. which II was
thought would be above the highest
water was found to be nearly a foot too
low. 1t will be made higher as soon as
possible.
Along the line Of the South Bend branch
of the Northern Pacific are numerous
washouts. A man from Dryad said this
morning that the track Is out In two or
three places between here and Dryad and
in several places near Pe-Eii A work
train went out Saturday with large gang
OF men.
The damage done by the overflow IN this
town r. not serious. Most OF the town Is
above high water mark. There are how
ever. fifty or sixty families living In the
western part OF the village who have an
experience with the foods two or three
times year. They are never dauntet,,

the regulations heretofore In force. re-
qulring pilots to be sent on all Alaska
bound steamers. Is not to be enforced In
the future. The news Is causing some
concern among not only steamboat own
ers, but shippers as WELL as It IN said that
the underwriters Will have nothing to do
with steamer plying In Alaskan waters
without pilot. II being required, more
over. that ali pilots going north be thor
ougfily competent. The story Is that the
testimony In connection with the inquiry
inso the loss OF the steamship Mexico had
something to do with the suspending of
the Alaska pilot regulation.
It seems also that an order has recent
ly been made suspendiug the rule requir-
ing mates on infand-water steamers. In
