 AT FORT YUKON
Sam White Reports Many Places Damaged in High
 est Water on Record

First hand report of the unpre- cedented flood at Fort Yukon has
 been received here from Sam O.
 White of the Alaska Game Com
 mission
 T had IA inches of water in the
 cffice," Warden White wrote, "and according to oldtimers this is the highest stage of water ever seen at
 Fort Yukon. It looked serious for while and if it had raised an-
 other 10 inches I feel sure it would have cleaned cut all the buildings on Front Street from the road house down to the Northern Com mercial Company.
 The ice pushed in at Demars, flooding his warehouse and broke down the trees and fences around
 the roadhouse. It completely wreck ed the house of Linkweiler's and took the sheds off Carrolps house.
 It knocked down the cache at Wer- llIiC , dliQ d lOb Ol IlCoNy lSC NolllC in through the low place in the front of Randall's. Randall had 52 inches in his front room. The only dry cellars in town are the ones in Demar's store and the one in our house. The water just started to come in our front
 door when it started to drop. The M s sic n and hospital basements
 were both flooded.
 ITO date (the letter was written on May 20) the water has dropped about five feet and the ice jam is still holding. Randall just called Iup and said the water was raising again so the Porcupine must be letting loose"
