STORM ON
THE PACIFIC COAST.

POFt1dnG, NOV. 1O.-E&OVCE
since the white man came to the
state of Washington has there been
such a storm as that of last night
and early this morning. Storm, wind
and rain for the past week have
wrought havoc with coast shipping.
Yesterday the storm swept inland,
venting unleard of fury upon the
whole state. especially the Puget
Sound country. and has reached the
northern part of Oregon and the
Panhandle" of Idaho. The railroads
out of Tacoma and Seattle are de-
moralized, train service to Portland
only from the latter city being main
tanned.
Rivers. creeks and brooks in tne
Cascades are roaring torrents. On
Puget Sound the towns of Snohomish,
Sumner and Auburn are under wa
ter. In central Washington floods
are raging in the Natchez and YalSi-
ma valleys. Clearwater river is out
of its banks and has done immense
damage. Although nothing has been
heard from Walla Walla it is believ-
ed that there are floods east and
west of there and the rivers of that
part of the state are on a rampage.
At Portland heavy wind is blowing
accompanied by torrential rain. No
damage here other than putting the
electric lights and street cars out of
commission.
Earthquake in New Mexico.
Ell Paso, Tex, Nov. ia Herald
special from Tucumcari, N. NJ, says
an earthquake shock at the Mesca-
lero Indian Reservation this morn
ing awoke the people and shook
things from shelves. Matpy people at
FL Paso felt the shock.
Portland this morning was cut off
from communication with Seattle,
Tacoma, Bellingham, Spokane and
every part of Washington north and
east of Kelso. Neither the Western
Union nor the Postal Telegraph Co.
has wire to the cities named. The
storm which swept over the entire
northwest created conditions never
before experienced in the Northwest.
The railroads in every direction are
either compltely at a standstill or
badly interrupted, and communica-
ton by rail except to the south Is
well nigh impossible.
Practically the last dispatch re-
ceived here from Seattle before all
communication was lost was a long
special to the Morning Oregonian,
telling of the flood conditions pre-
vailing in tnat section of Washington
night, says, in part: Floods in the
White and Green rivers which be-
gan last night. have swept away ma
ny miles of railroad and valley towns,
rendered farmers homeless and cost
three lives up to date. 1t will be two
weeks before the Northern Pacific
will be able to resume regular train
operations. The Great Northern will
be tied up for shorter period. tub-
urn, Kent, O'Brien, Benton, Orilla,
and half dozen smaller towns in
the valleys of the three rivers are
under water. The residents of
O'Brien at noon were compelled to
abandon their homes and fee to the
hills. The flood is the most serious
ever known, exceeding the disas-
trous flood of 1903 that destroyed
hundreds of thousands of dollars of
property. Two steel bridges of the
Northern Pacific were swept away,
besides miles of track

Attempt to Kidnap a Woman.

LARIMORE, N. D., March 12.-An
attempt at kidnapping took place here
last night, when two men entered the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. o. Cornfortn and
took Mrs. Cornforth out of the house
after quite struggle. Her son inter
fered and was struck by one of the
men.
The woman's dress was torn and she
was taken a block away, when she
broke loose and ran into a neighbor's
house for protection. One of the men
followed her into the house, but the
woman grabbed a butcher knife to
defend herself, when he pulled re-
volver.
The chief Of police was sent for, but
so far no arrests nave been made.
The supposition is that the two
men. who were strangers, had been
sent for to do the kidnapping by people
who had a grudge against the woman.

RULES AGAINST TRESPASS
Reserves 10 be Used Only by Those
Who Pay
MUST PUT Up CASH FOR GRAzING PERMITS
TRESPASSERS WILL LOSE ALL
FUTURE RIGHTS UPON THE
FOREST RESERVES.
MUST PUT UP CASH FOR GRAZING PERMITS

Stringest will be the enforcement If
against trespassers on the reserves.
This is pointed out plainly in a letter
written by Chief Forester Clifford
Pinchot.
In the beginning of his letter the
chief forester points out the fact that
permits for stock TO Craze in the forest
reserves will be issued to their full
capacity, consistent with the other uses
Of the reserves. AS a subsequence OF
this fact any intrusion of unpermitted
stock on the reserves will not only
damage the reserve interests by over
grazing the range but will also infiict
an injustice upon the permittees who
are paying for the full forage capacity
of the reserves.
Therefore," continued Mr.. Pichot in
his letter, persons who allow their
stock to drift and Craze on the forest
reserves without a permit, whether
they do so Intentionally or otherwise.
will be regarded as trespassers and
will lose all right to be permitted priv
ileges of any kind upon the forest re-
serves"
The forest officers are instructed to
refuse to consider the applications Of
such persons for special privileges:
also the officers are instructed to in
form them that even upon reinstate-
ment in the future they will have lost
any preference in grazing permits 10
which they might otherwise have been
entitled through priority in occupation
Of the range.
The letter mentions further that any
person Intentionally driving unpermIt-
ted stock on the reserves is liable to
prosecution for trespass and suit for
damages.
