Portland, Ore, Nov. 15.-Never since
the white man came has the state of
Washington suffered from such a
storm as ragged last night and early
this morning. The storm of wind and
rain, which for the past week has
wrought havoc with coast-wise ship
ping, yesterday swept inland and is
venting an unheard-of fury upon the
whole state, especially the Puget
Sound country, and is lashing with its
tail the northern part. of Oregon and
the Pan Handle OF Idaho. Railroads
out of Tacoma and Seattle are de-
moralized, train service to Portland
only from the latter city being main
tained.
Creeks. rivers and brooks in. the
Cascades are rolling torrents. On
Puget Sound, the towns Of Snohomish,
Sumner and Auburn are under water.
In central Washington, floods are
raging In the Natchez and Yakima
Valleys. Although nothing has been
heard from Walla Walla, 1t is believed
that the rivers in that part Of state
are still on the rampage. At Portland,
q heavy wind is blowing, accompanied
by torrential rain. No damage has
heeH done further than to put electric
lights and street cars out Of commis-
sion. The railways across the state
are prostrated.
j.. ~ Three Lives.. Lest. -..k. ..
A dispatch says that miles Of rail-.
road have been washed away, all the
valley towns inundated, hundreds of.
farmers homeless, and three lives lost
in the floods. 1t will be- two weeks
before the Northern Pacific will be
able to resume regular traffic. The
Great Northern will be tied up for
shorter period. The Northern Pacific's
loss will be enormous. Two steel brid-
ges across Green river, and another
across Stuck river have been swept
away. The north coast limited did not
succeed in reaching Seattle last night.
The Great Northern Is unable to send
out any trains. Boat service to Ia
coma enables the Northern Pacific to
send passengers south. The floods
were caused by Chinook wind which
melted SHOWS on the mountains. Rain
Is also falling. ! ....:'

Servant girls complain of the tedious
