THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL. MONDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1896, AROUSED FROM SLEEP TO FLEE Narrow Escape of Hotel - Lodgers From Death in a Torrent. The Building They Occupied Carried Away by High Water. Half-Clad Inmates Rush Out Just a Moment Bcfore the Crash. PORTLAND, Or., Nov. 22.—During the flood on Thursday the lodging-house of Cleveland & Klein on the Sauk Riverin the Monte Cristo mining district, Wash- ington, was swepl away. Just before it went the lodgers, twelve iu number, were bastily routed out of their beds by Jacob Klein and told to flee for their lives. The building was a large one, about 35x80, three stories and basement. It had been well finished and furnished only recently, and was to be opened as a hotel in a day or two more. As the lodgers rushed into the barroom an immense larch tree came down Glacier Creek at a terrible rate, tore through the Monte Cristo concentrator’s high railroad trestle, taking out three bents, next through the switchback trestle, taking out three more bents, then through the rail- road main line bridge, knocking out four bents, and the mass of wreckage bore down with fearful force into Sauk River- and headed straight for the Cleveland & Klein building. “Run, boys,” yelled Klein, and as the " great building swung around at right angles to the stream and the aouth side tilted up into the air the men leaped for their lives and fell in a heap in front of the fish market and scrambled through the water to land. The building toppled entirely over, and its immense mass dammed Ssuk River long enough to raise the fish market bodily from its foundation, and as the hotel was torn and rent to splinters, and the river channel cleared, the smaller building was swept down the caayon and was torn to pieces. About the same time an avalanche of soft mud and slush came down from the Sauk loge mining claim, and this, with the mass of wreckage from the bridges gnd buildings, dammed Sauk River, which cut a new channel through Douglas ave- nue. The residents of Monte Cristo were compelled to flee and that quickly. The river cut throuch the railroad embank- ment below the switchback, and took down the north side of the track and cut it a second time, returning to its old chan- nel a short distance above the railroad bridge, which, being of stronely driven piles, withstood the strain, and is still intact. About 200 feet of the embankment went out. *Nine miners are reported missing, but . .it is believed that they made their way " .along the hillsiaes to Silverton. However, nothihg has yet been heard from any of them. s DESTRUCTION OF HAMILTON. The Washington Town Almost Completely Swept Away by the Fiood of Last Week. SEATTLE, Wasg., Nov. 22.—A {Mount Vernon special concerning the damage by flood to the town of Hamilton, Skagit County, says: The town is a complete Wreck. The big brick store building of Barker & Fontaine is a heap of ruins, and goods are buried under fallen walls. Btreets are washed out, sidewalks gone and the town is filled with trees, stumps and rubbish. Every one is discouraged and heartbroken. Water invaded every house in the lower part of town, and some people were pris- oners upstairs until Sunday noon, when they were taken off in boats. The track of the Seattle and Northern Railway between Woolley and Hamilton has been almost completely destroyed, and it will probably be two weeks before the road is in good working condition again. The mail is now being taken on a handecar from: Whitney Station. The loss to up-river ranchers will be heavy, as considerable stock was lost. No precautions against flood had been taken at Hamilton, as the river never caused trouble tnere before. The river was sey- eral feet higher than it was ever known to have been before. ey i GREAT NORTHERN CLEAR, Vice-President Hill Says the Line Is Heady for Overland Trains. SEATTLE, Wask., Nov. 22 —“We will have our line ready for overland travel Tuesday,” said Samuel Hill, vice-presi- dent of the Great Northern to-night at the Butler Botel when asked when that portion of the main line which has been tied up by washouts in the Cascade Mountains since a week ago last Friday would be in operation again. Chief En- gmeer Stevens accompanied Hill west. They came over the Great Northern to Skykomish, there crossed the river in a rowboat and thence to Seattle on a work train. According to Mr, Hill the most serious trouble with which the road is now con- fronted in resuming traffic is in construct- ing a bridge over Skykomish River, and this he believes will be completed by Tuesday. “This has been the most destructive storm to all property-owners from the Rocky Mountains west to the coast that has occurred since 1844,” the Great North- ern vice-president resumed. “As to briage washouts, both railroad and pub- lic, they have been occasioned more by reason of persons throwing trees, logs and wood into the river than by high water. Hill was attired in a storm suit and bore unmistakable evidence of having taken a very active part in superintending the work of repair along the line of the Great Northern from the Rockies to the coast., Ll Lo HEAVI FALL OF SNOW. Seattle’s Telephone and Electrioc - Light Sustem Completety Wrecked. SEATTLE, Wass., Nov. 22.—Seattle and- the entire northwe:gin portion of the State are cmerging from another disas- trous snowstorm, lasting from Friday afternoon until 1 o'clock this morning. Twelve inches of snow fell in as many hours, the full fall being 18 inches, equiva- lent to 1.8] iuches of rain. -The <now car- ried down all telegraph wires, completely wrecking telephone and electric-light svs- tems. Operation of all electric railways was likewise stopped. Should ‘the snow continue to melt as rapidly as it is now it will bring increased disaster to the Cas- cade divisions of the railroads. Coursing at Sacramento. SACRAMENTO, CAv, Nov. 22.—At the coursing races at Agricultural Park to- day there were two stakes, one for puppies and the other for aged dogs, the former having twenty entries and the latter twenty-six. Hall and 0’ Neill's Promise Me won first money 1 the »uppy stake, Pride of Ari- zona second and Snider th.rd. In the all-aged stake Cronin and McDon- ald’s Defender won, F. Steigler's Dyna- mite second ana Nethercott Bros.’ Red Cloud third. S N San Josw'sx Mystery. SAN JOSE, Car., Nov. 22.—The body of a newly born babe was discovered in the Jewish Cemetery at Oak Hill yesterday morning. It was in an old mustard box, and there was barely enough dirt over the box to hide it. The infant, which was but a day or two old, was dressed in plain white clothes, but there was no mark by which the identity of the parents could be traced. The body was brought to the Morgue, and an inquest will be held. B Stockton’s Nine Defeated, STOCKTON, CaL., Nov. 22.—The base- ball game to-day was a rank exhibition. It was played in the rain, on a muddy field, and several of the Stockton players were not present. McHale aud Hurtchison of Sacramento, who were counted on to do some good work, did not show up, and local amateurs were put on in their places. As a result the Imperials of San Fraucisco defeated the Stockton players by a score of 12 to 3. —————— Tos Gatos Athletes Win. SAN JOSE, CaL, Nov. 22—The Los Gatos High School defeated the San Jose High School at the field day exercises at Loe Gatos yesterday by a score of 22 points to 17.

L Btruck by a Flying Train. ERIE, Pa., Nov. 22.—Gilmore's band baggage-car, containing all the musical in- struments of the company, was run into here to-day by a fast train on the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railroad.

SANTA BARBARA, Car, Nov. 13.— Santa Barbara is such a land as the good King Arthur hoped to find when he was borne away to the island valley of Avalon in order to get healed of his grievous wound. & If the lotus eaters had found it they would have been willing to forget the past and live on without regret in aland *in which it seemed always afternoon.” The charm of Shnta Barbara has been its repose. Quiet has brooded over the 1 done in the town, for there is a very brisk trade carried on, and stores of all kinds show fine stocks of goods and evidently are doing well. In fact, there is no other town of 7000 peopie in any part of the country showing greater signs of prosper- ity in its trade during these hard times than Santa Barbara. This is in part due to the fact that a large number of the peopie derive their incomes from their old homes. These in- comes are liberally spent, and of course get into quick circulation among all classes. Then, too, walnuts, lemons, pe- troleum, aspbaltum, olive oil, wool, horses, sheep and cattle, grain, beans and dairy products bring in steadily large amounts of money which are fairly distributed among the whole poptlation, Asa conse- quence there is no lack of money and trade is good. . Neither do I mean to imply that the people think so much of leisure and re- pose that they have failed to ao the amount of work necessary to improve and beantify the town. The place is thoroughly equipped in the up-to-date style. Its streets are graded and sidewalked. Some miles of paving are already laid. It is perfectly lighted. Itsstreets are sprinkled and sewers flushed with sea water. It has an electric railroad and a splendid public library. In short, asit had to be a modern town, its people have made it the most leasant and comfortable place in the tate. One thing it lacks—a bathhouse— but that lack will soon be augplied, The Board of Trade has taken hold of the matter, and soon & suitable bathing place to cost $10,000 will be built. - 1i a visitor shou!d ask me to point out the most interesting thing in the town I should at once call the Franciscan mis- | sion that thing. It is a splenaid build- ing—the finest monument of the sons of Saint Francis now existing in the State. When you see the gray friars working among the vines and olives and going to ana fro upon_ their appointed daily tasks upon the time-stained pile, you can easily imagine that you are in old Spain, and the allusion will only be deepened when one of the fathers addresses you in the pure Castilian. The mission was founded in 1786. It crowns a gentle slope two miles from the sea. From its noble corridor you can look upon as fair a scene HAPPENINGS IN SOCIETY'S WORLD Miss Colburn Entertains With Progressive Euchre. The Cushion Tea for the Wo- man’s Exchange on Tuesday Next. Silver Wedding Celebration at Oat Hil, Nagpa—Interesting Cere- monies. Miss May Colburn gave the second of a series of euchre parties at her home on Hyde street on Friday afternoon. In the pretty reception room, bright with many autumn blossoms, twentv-four ladies en- joved a spirited game. A service of elabo- rate refreshments conciuded the after- noon’s entertainment. Miss Colburn re- ceived her guests assisted by Miss Bernice Brown, Miss Bessie Cole and Miss Flor- ence Stone. Dauly new features are being planned for the cushion tea to be held on Tuesday afternoon and evening of December 1 for the benefit of that deserving and popular charity, the Woman's Exchange. Mrs. T. ) )) ) SN little valley lying between the mountains and.the sea time out of mind. Other towns might get impatient and be in a hurry, out Santa Barbara never. Natyre set the pace for the people. The unchanging aspect of the mountains sug- gested repose. The calm sea, with its ebbing and flowing tides, taught man the lesson of ceaseless activity, without worry or excitement. The coming and going of the peerless days without extremes of weather showed that man’s life could run calmly like a deep river to the sea. Men have taken all this to heart and it must be a stormy na- ture indeed which is not subdued by such an environment. As a consequence there is no other town in the repubiic which is so wise in its lei- sure or 8o unhurrying in its business. Life seems a perpetual holiday. Always there are picnics on the beach at sunset or by moonlight, or horseback and coaching parties coming and going, or the best of musicat the Sea Plaza or at the Arlington. gjEverywhere there is gay laughter and music and tbe babble of merry voices. This holiday making comes mainly from two causes: first, there is a large class of residents who have retired from business and have much leisure on their nands; and second, the surroundings of the town and its perfect climate invite the people to an o of-door llle_. The, mountains with their many green canyons, are on one side of the town, and the ses upon the other, and these-afford unfailing pleasure. Business and professional men make a practice each year of leaving the cares of their shops and offices behind them and betaking themselves to pleasant camps in the mountains and canyonu. It israre, indeed, to find a family which has not spent at least a fortnight in camp. All this shows that the Barbareno has caught on to the secret of wise living. To rest or play is man’s normal condition. To work is a forced and unnatural condi- tion, and therefore too much work brings inevitable harm in either giving a cramped nature or a diseased body But the Barbareno does not shirk his work. He simply does it wisely. Neither ao I mean to infer that no business 1s as naturé ever spread before men’s eyes, made up of valleys and mountains, islands and sea. The next place of greatest interest is the beach. it is skirted by a sea road, partiy paved for two miles. The road ends in a plaza touched by high tide, and is such a lovely spot that crowds of saunterers are always found enjoying its beauties. At full moon, or when the long row of electric lights are lit and the 1ull tide is coming in from the mysterious spaces beyond, it seems a place of enchant- ment. Santa Barbara weather need not be spoken of. Iiis as perfect as weather can be. He who is not satisfied with it will only find his ideal in paradise. The town | is on the eve of a marked advance in popu- Jation. It only needs the completion of the coast road—and this is a matter of months—to send it forward with a bound to a first-class position in a commercial sense—a position 1t already occupies with respect to health and Rleaqxres. 1. B. McDurrrx, President S8anta Barbara Board oi Trade. The Musical Temperament. Speaking to Bettina voo Arnim about the influence upon his mind of Goethe’s poems, Beethoven declarad that they pow- erfully impressed bim both by’ their rhythm and by their matter; “‘and,” he added. “I am moved to composition by their language and by the lofty spint of harmony pervading them.” = So that what stirred in him the cre- ative impulse, as he came ander the spell of a great poet, was the ecstasy born of tae measured words aud of their inner sense—their esthetic and spiritual rather than their parely intellectual content. And it was in this connection that be affirmed music to be “the medium be- tween the spiritual and the sensuous life” —a luminous and vregnant word which sorts not ill with the view here presented, and is, perhaps, as near an approach to a efinition of the undefinable as is likely to be compassed.—Blackwood's Magazine. ———— The atlas moth, a night-flying insect of Central Brazil, is the largest winged in- sect in the world.

Yesterday’s Runs Postponed — Harry Terrill Not Seriously Hurt. All of the bicycle runs scheduled for yesterday had to be posiponed one week, owing to the inclement weather. In con- sequence the different clubhouses were crovided all day and evening, and natur- ally the principal topicg of discussion were the many exciting events incident to the opening meet of the Vélodrome Satur- day. Harry Terrill was at the Bay City Club in the afternoon with his head all band- aged, but he is not suffering much from the effects of his fall and expects to be able toride again at the meet Thanksgiving day. The Terrill brothers gave the public a sample of the grit for which they are noted in the race in whbich they were both thrown. The fall was near the tave, and all but two, Downing and Becker, went down. These two finished, and the T-rrills, as soon as they got their senses, seemed to reatize simultaneously that there was a third prize to be had, and at once fumped up and started to drag their badly dam- aged wheels toward the tape. ‘‘Bob,’ who was the least injured, got there first, and Harry gave up, falling into the arms of two of his ctubmates who had rushed toward him, thoroughly ex:austed. Decker of the Acme Club had a narrow escape from hitting the judges’ stand when he fell, and was lucky to escape with what few bruises he received. The riding of Xenna, the amateur champion and a new acquisition to the already long list of cracks carrying the old gold and crimson of the Bay City Whee!men, was the best seen here in many a dav, and ranks him as a star per- former. He would be formidable in the professional class, but does not tare to race for money, and is satisfied to remain where he is. Leitch of S8acramento did not appear at this meet as a professional, notwithstand- ing the announcement of a& morning paper. The Olympic Club Wheelmen have lost some good members recently. Hariow H.
