I afternoon when the subsidence of the
surf kicked up by the severe storm
,-,f iho past few days permitted the
pent up waters <»f Snake River to com
I menee a headlong rush to the sea
The heavy rain and warm weather
accompanying the storm opened most
of the frozen streams emptying into
the river swelling the flow of water
to flood proportions. The river was
frozen to a depth of four or five inches
during tho recent cold spoil and the
raise of water lossen.-d the ley coating
for miles. With the falling off of the
surf, the ice commenced to move Sat
urday morning, presenting tho un
usual phenomena of ice going out in
the fall. The ice flow continued for
several hours but inflicted little dam
age on the harbor construction, aside
from carrying away a few detached
piling along the jetty. These were
not attached to the jetty and served
no purpose, being merely a portion of
(he round piles employed in the con
struction which it was found impossi
ble to move when the work was com
At the present time It Is impossible
to estimate the full extent of the dam
age done, although it is easily discern
ible that the cost of repairing is cer
laln to run into a considerable amount.
There Is also the added prospect that
the jetty has been weakened to such
extent that it will not be able to with
stand the pressure of the lee in the
event of an lee movement along the
coast during the winter or a heavy
ice flow from the river next spring.
The council members are said to be
considering ways and means to protect
the jetty but there is apparently little
than can he done owing to the lateness
„f the season. Mr Carpenter the War
Department engineer in charge of the
construction work, departed on the
Cordova and the cjty is unfortunately
deprived of his advice and assistance.
The Chamber of Commerc e has sent a
t telegram to Mr Carpenter explaining
the unfortunate development and ask
ing him to advise what to do and
District Federal Road Commissioner
D. A Jones has also communicated
with the Seattle office of the War De
partment engineers advising them of
the character of the damages and its
PROCLAMATION.
