Missou1a People Bring Word
Of Extensive Damage by
Raging Waters.
FREAK OF WEATHER
Nreshet Came During Sea-
son Of Snowslides in
Mine District.

The people Of Wallace spent Christ
mas day wondering what turned the
whole world topsy turvy, according to
MissOuia people who returned from
the Idaho mining camp yesterday.
Swept by a tremendous flood during
the season when Occur d'Alenes peo-
pie usually are keeping anxious eyes
out for anowslides. Wallace is trying
to5figure out wlaat has happened to the
mountain climate.
Joseph Martin OF Wallace, who came
herp yesterday to visit his mother,
Mrs. Ollie Martin, 225 First street,
brought q graphic story of the dam
age dome there BY, the midwinter flood
OF Christmas week. Pouring through
the principal residence street of Wal
lace, the flood washed away houses,
damaged valuable property and left
many destitute, he says.
Wrsckaoe Clogs Bridges.
Rains, following heavy snow, turned
: Placer creek into q raging freshet last
week, and sent flood waters booming
through Wallace, which is built in a
narrow canyon. Driftwood and wreck
age clOgEed bridges in the town and
diverted the stream from its regular
channel, sending it rushing down King
street; the most fashionable thorough
fare Of the city.
Despite the fact that the flood came
almost without warning, no lives were
lost. People were hurried out of the
endangered district and taken to places
OF safety. while none but volunteers
Of trusted strength were permitted to
attempt the rescue of property.
Many Homes Destroyed.
The water in the street was SO deel,
and swift, however, that II pretentious
residences were completely wrecked,
many others severely damaged and
scores flooded. Great boulders were
rolled through the street by the water,
and practically everything was washed
away
BY dynamiting bridges and calling in
miners for work in clearing debris and
restoring the old channel of the creek,
the city authorities of Wallace finally
restored ORDER though complete re-
pairs will take months.
The Red Cross chapter of Wallac e
furnished aid to those made homeless
by the flood.

To catch at the purple mist.
And never a vale whers the twiliah hts
Where il has not held a tryst.

With campfire under the sky,
And the pattern laid in shadow and

Lest One should pass me by.

Where out in the surging throng
] glimpse a face with a Turing grace
And the day is set to song,
