The money, contributed by
the citizens of Searchlight,
was transmitted by check to a
Los Angeles bank with in
structions to send the actual
coin to San Francisco as
money was scarce in the
stricken city at the time.
The relief authorities are
endeavoring to learn why a
package supposed to have
been sent from Los Angeles
should bear a San Francisco
seal and why it was so long in
reaching them.
Later in the day General
Manager Christensen of the
express company which ham
died the money gave out a
statement.
There is nothing to be said
in regard to this affair" said
General Manager Christensen.

SEATTLE, Nov. 16.-A severe rain
storm Wednesday, 2.4S inches in four
hours, and warm wind which melted
recent fresh SHOWS in the Cascade
mountains, coming simultaneously, are
the cause of the worst floods in the his
tory of the Puget sound region.
The valleys of the White, Cedar,
Green, Stuck, Black and Puyallup
rivers are under water, flooding 200
square miles of territory.
This includes practically every acre
of low land lying back of the eastern
shores of the sound and extending
from Seattle to Tacoma.
The power plant at Electrine is SUBJ
merged and Seattle and Tacoma are
dependent on their local auxiliary sta
tions for power to move street cars
and provide electric lights.
The local plants. however, have fuel
enough to operate several days.
All traffic over the Northern Pacific
and Tacoma Seattle interurban lines
is at a standstill- A week will be re-
quHou W repair the damage TO the
road after the water subsidies.
The lowlands are thickly occupied
by small towns, hop fields and dairy
farms. Damage done to fields and
herds will run into hundreds of thou-
sands. Seattle's milk supply comes
from them, so that the city will be
without milk for days \
Six persons have been drowned Te
the north, the Skagit river is on a
rampage and railroad traffic in that
direction is at standstill. The great
est loss by the streams to the north
has been done to the numbering inter-
ests, where millions of feet of logs
and shingle boards have been carried
into the sound and out to sea-
Hundreds of farm houses and viii
lagos are submerged to the second
stories and many persons are home-
less. The loss to the Northern Pacific
alone will reach $15O,000 and the total
loss in the district will be half mil
lion.
No rain has fallen in the flooded dis
tricts since an early hour Thursday
morning and the feeling throughout
the valleys today is that the worst is
over.
