nature of the catastrophe came to
them and in many cases they became
disheartened, quit work and waited
for daylight. Men who had been
leaders in the community had no
power of direction and the survivors
had no leader to direct the work OF
rescue or OF recovering the bodies.
AS the flood receded timbers, fnrni-
ture, merchandise and In some cases
whole houses were left on the banks.
In this debris the people, searched
for the bodies that had washed up
with the timber.
The dam was built two years ago
and the water was turned into tho
basin Dat Mesh ago. Eehfrad na
dam was the pile of logs to be used
by the Goodyear Lumber Co. and the
pulp mills. When the dam went out
the entire pile of concrete seemed to
go down at once and the water swept
along in solid crest as high as the
dam had been. The logs riding the
crest OF the floor made battering
ram that swept all before it. The
pulp mill, half mile above Austin,
was one of the first buildings to be
wrecked and it's timbers were added
to the burden the flood carried. At
the outskirts of the town the great
dam demolished the planning mill and
the hotel which stood near It.

were being made today.
The most essential matter in hand
here. aside from persistent work OF
cleaning away the more accessible
ruins, is the completion Of a census OF
the living Austinans. If the death list
aggregates anything like the enormous
number some have estimated, the

within a few days in the ruins. There
Is possibility that $50 deaths win be
the total.
There is little hope that any OF the
bodies remaining in the wreckage win
be found intact. The general aspect or
