For 'he preceding twenty-four
hours up to about 6 o'clock thin
morning Skagway valley «>nd vi
cinity has been subjected to a down
pour of rain which almost reached
the volumn of a cloud burst at
times.
The ground was so very dry that
the first several hours of rain, caus
ed no ill effect a« most of the water
was absorbed by the «andy soil, but
when the ground had become thor
oughly saturated, the slopes of
the surrounding hills beg«n to
shed the water into the Skagway
river, annd the stag© of water in
the stream began to raise rapidly.
This morning, yith the storm
breaking, and the eun coming thru
the danger seems to have passed,
although the new wagon bridge at
Twenty-second avenue rwas left in
a weakened condition, some of the
bent* in the center of the bridge
having settled, thus causing the
orid<ge to sag considerably. The
first crossing of the White Pass
was Pted high with drift wood and
deDris which had washed from up
stream, and as a precautionary
measure, this morning's train was
shunted across the river, and had
there been any passengers these
would have been transferred.
Cutting through the regular
channel, the river changed its cOurs<
over to the east side of the river
oottom, which brings it closer to
town, but the work done by the
town under tho direction of Super
intendent Hays of the Alaska Road
commission, probably prevented the
river from doing considerable dam
«8« to property on the west side of
the city. As it was, the water flow
ed clos« to the lower portion of
town and as a result Andy St read
his been forced to move.
j . Early this morning Andy Stread
was awakened' from a deep sleep by
a noise sounding like the creaking
of timbers and in a few seconds hif
bouse commenced to rock which
. horoughly awakened him and leap
ing from the bed he looked out and
discovered that the water had riser
in the river to such an ex'jnt that
i« had changed its channel and was
running under his cabin. ^ It wa£
time to move and Andy lost no
time in getting his goods and chat
tels out and onto dry l8^'. For
tunately Mr. Stread had almost
ready a new home which he hai
been buildng and was about to
move anyhow. The loss was not
much as everything was saved ex
cept the cook stove and Borne cook
ing u'ensils.
While the trouble to the Whit*
Pass road from high water ha£
usually been at tthe second cross
ing reports from Superintendent
Hahn's office late today say that nc
damage was done on the line. and
| that, at ten o'clock this morning th«
water began to fall, and the dangei
i was past.
