Mark, Sweeps Rich Valley Covering Wide Area TWO BAD FLOOD AREAS Flood waters were reced ig today in the immediate vicinity of Seattle, with the exception of the White and Duwamish river valleys. The other bad flood area is 50 miles north of Seat- tle, in the valleys of the Skagit, Stillaguamish and Nooksack rivers. Sluicing the West Seattle landslide for the bodies of Mrs. Samuel C. Andrews and her two small step-sons was resumed this morning. The body of Samuel E. Hileman, wat clerk, has been recovered from the Great Northern train wreck at Miller viver, near Skykomish, and taken to Monroe. That of George Irvin, fireman on the ill-fated train, has been found pinned beneath the engine cab. Rail- road officials sent to Spokane today for an acetylene torch to cut the body loose. Damage from the floods is variously estimated at $500,000 to. $1,500,000, Rain, forecast for tonight and tomorrow, it feared, may add to the havoc and destruction. TANWOOD, Dec. 1 14.—With a terrific roar of ‘ e great Ben Johnson dike, “impregnable Gibraltar” of fi kagit river, burst at 7:15 a. m. today, eight miles Stanwood, 55 miles north of Seattle.
