vice demoralized, bridges washed out
and valley towns and farms under wa

floods in western Washington, caused
by the heavy rains in the lowlands and
the sudden melting of six feet of snow
in the Cascade mountains. Reports re-

rivers are beginning to fall, but the
water continues to rise at an alarming
rate in the lowlands, and it is feared
that further damage will be done.

diameter. A bridge IS miles west OF
Moncton, where the Seattle municipa
power plant is situated that carries thu
pipe lines across Cedar river, was wash
