Valley Towns Suffering From
High Water.

Heavy rains coupled with warm chinook
winds blowing over the snow fields OF the
Cascades have swollen the streams empty
Ing into the Sound to mighty proportions
Down the western slopes of the Cascades
has come immense quantity of water dur
ing the past three days. Tiny brooks have
been swollen into wide streams and ordi-
narily placid and harmless rivers have
broken their banks and flooded vast
stretches of low lying farming land.
The valley towns between Seattle and
Tacoma are contending with inundated
streets and flooded cellars. Growing crops
have been injured to some extent. but the
damage in this line has not been heavy up
to date. The railroads crossing the White
river and Puyallup valleys have been dis
commoded by the ever increasing volume
of water and on the main line OF the
Northern Pacific the washouts have been
SO numerous and extensive that the scr
vice east from Tacoma has been temper

That stream has broken its banks at sew
eral places and all Of the low lands drained
by It are submerged. The water at Kent

The dam at the Nicely farm near o'Brien

Yesterdays overland was sent by way Of
Portland, thence over the o. r N. to
Wallula Junction and thence over the
Northern Pacific to Spokane. High water
in Green river and washouts extending
for a considerable distance along the track
east of Drifting was the cause of this.
