Floods Cause Residents Of Forty
Mile, WASH, to Seek Higher Ground.
Plans are being formed for moving
the town site of Forty Mile, Wash, TO
higher ground. where the place will
not be menaced by spring floods. The
deiuge which coursed over Forty
Mile early in May was worse than
usual. The entire town was covered
with drlftwood and huge icebergs and
logs were carried through the sides
OF the Forty Mile hotel. Damage to
the stocks OF goods and buildings
amounted TO $4,000.
The Northern Commercial com.
pany's store and other concerns had
to pile their goods on high shelves
and counters. Some OF them were
placed on RATS and carried TO higher
ground. Everybody fied to the hills
and slept there several nights. Wat
er IN the warehouses stood six feet
deep.
The new town Eite. az laid out, will
be ON much higher ground. Probably
a new name viii be selected because
Of the confusion OF the present name
with Forty Mile river.
