When the factory whistles,
horns and gongs announced the
midnight hour, the New Year
opened its eyes to a Tacoma JAM
med with merrymaking soldiers
and civilians.
Restaurants and hotels were
crowded, and the last few hours
of 1917 were celebra ed with
dancing and fun making.
Nearly 500 soldiers danced the
New Year in at the Commercial
club, where there was an open
house" under the auspices of the
recreation committee and the club.
Besides dancing, a New Years
eve" supper was served at the Ia
coma hotel.
Dance halls were permitted by
the police to remaian open until
a. m.
Members of the First Swedish
Lutheran church watched the New
Year in with a special program
and reception at the church.
Quiet at Camp
When the clock struck mid.
night, whistles were tied down
and their noise split Tacoma at
mosphere for about 20 minutes.
The new year took the place of
the old at Camp Lewis quietly.
When the wind bore the noise
from Tacoma whistles to the camp
here and there in the barracks
men cheered little and then
rolled over in their hunks and
turned 10 sleep again.
One company bugler essayed to
blow a call as the hour marked
the passing of 1917 but shout
from the first sergeant subdued
his music.
Thousands of the men went to
Tacoma and Olympia during the
afternoon and these are not re-

MENACE
FACTORY

Cessation OF the heavy rains
Tuesday brought relief to the
crews of workmen desperately
trying to hold back the flood wa
tiers of the Puyallup river, which
have been threatening to wipe out
the entire plant of the Puget
Sound Iron & Steel works, one of
Tacoma's biggest manufacturing
plants.
The high waters on the Tacoma
tideflats, caused by the swollen
river and the backing up of the
tide, already have washed away
the bulkheading at the plant and
have carried away several small
buildings. The damage will run
into thousands of dollars.
A further rise in the river might
undermine the three main build
ings of the steel works. The
city's steel bridge and the North
ern Pacific bridge over the Puyal-
lup also would be endangered.
Rainfall Record Smashed.
Rainfall in Tacoma for Decem-
Der was 1906 inches, breaking all
previous records.
The county engineers office
reported that the river is reced-
ing slowly Tuesday.
All rail communication with
the east over the Cascades is still
at a standstill. Trains of the
Northern Pacific and Milwaukee
still are being routed by way of
Portland. The Milwaukee line to
Seattle has been reopened.
Serious freight congestion here
was threatened Monday by a
washout on the Northern Pacific
PIT. Defiance line at Tenino, but
Tuesday the dispatcher reported
that one track had been opened.
Most of the trains are being rout-
ed to the south over the old
prairie line out of Tacoma.
To-day the Northern Pacific is
operating between Ellensburg
and North Yakima.
Expect 21-Foot Stage.
Weather predictions are that
the Willamette river will reach
the 21.2-foot stage Wednesday,
the highest stage of the season in
Portland, while at upper William
cite points drop is reported.
North Yakima searching parties
are still seeking the body of Po-
liceman Charles Johnson. who was
drowned late yesterday when the
car he was riding in to view the
flood ran into break In the road
and was overwhelmed. There has
been no drop in the Yakima river
and several more bridges went out
early Tuesday. The damage to
property and harvested crops in
this section Is enormous.
Roads radiating from King
county were found to be DAM
aged to the extent of thousands
of dollars from the waiter. Nine
hundred feet of the Maple Valley
Benton highway has been washed
away.
North Bend Is still cut off he
cause of Snoqualmie river floods.
Water is standing half foot deep
over the Duyall highway.
