Almost did it again. This aged and yellowed copy was presented to the Empire’s erring re- porter last night by Jack Langsleth, and the story behind it is worth re- peating. So put on your high water pants and here we go: “Juneau Is Devastated By Flood {to Extent of Many Thousands,” the bold headline read, “Windows of Heaven Opened Over Gastineau Channel and Heaviest Precipitation Ever Known Followed—Mahy Ju- neau Residences Swept Away— ‘Water and Light Systems Both Out of Business—Alaska Juneau Rail- road Badly Wrecked—Douglas Man Injured—No Lives Lost.” We Was Robbed! This was one of the few times that the Empire was scooped, and properly. Jack Henson, now in Port Angeles, Washington, and after writing the story of the flood a member of the Empire staff, did the trick. Jack Langseth was the prinfer who set the paper by hand ELKS’ SERVICE MEN published on, DANCE ~ " THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE-—JUNEAU ALASKA High Water Story Puls Reporder in Hot Water Today and turned it out on a press run by foot power The power was off in Juneau and the Empire was stumped. It was estimated that the flood did damage in excess of $200,000 [ln all, about 40 houses in the Casey-~ ‘;Shauuck Addition were vacated by |alarmed residents and fully half {that number were surrounded by water from three to five feet deep. | The Gold Creek bridge went out. | On Gold Street, just back of the | Gastineau Hotel, a huge mass of rock and trees came smashing down from far up on the mountain and moved one building, with its eccu- pants, clear across the street to smash into an apartment house. A tree more than a foot in dia- {meter crashed into another house ren and they all escaped uninjured. Gastineau Flooded The water rushed into the second story of the Gastineau Hotel from the bluff in the rear and flowed down the stairs just like it belonged there, into the cafe and office below It aldo flooded Willis' grocery store and the Seward Building. Sixty-five feet of the'Alaska Ju- neau railroad was carried away. The mill was flooded, huge girders of metal warped like pipe stems. | The Juneau water and electric systems were put out of commission Water surrounded the Govern- ment Hospital and patients were HALL Saturday,Oct. 9 BOBTEW'S BAND ks $1.0C AC $1.10 Admission Tax IN WAR { { L ol AS IN PEAC <=, IN THIS BANK ARE INSURED Address by Gov.
