New Threats To
Northwest’s Flood
Damaged Areas
(Continued from Page One)
The fresh flood crest was mount
ing in the Columbia, far up in
the mountains where the blazing
sun too quickly changed the deep
snowpack into run-off water. The
Snake River, main Columbia trib
utary, also was rising.
The collapse of Barnston and
Hatzic dikes last night flooded
more fertile farmlands, adding to
the tremendous but yet untotaled
millions of dollars damage in the
Northwest region.

Fraser, estimates from qualified

The death toll on the Columbia

A wall of water 20 feet high

New Floods born
Upper Columbia
River Yesterday
PORTLAND, — (IP)—The Colum
bia River system spawned a new
flood in its headwaters yesterday
Hundreds of miles downstream,
winds whipping in from the Pa
cific flicked the crest of the old
one over the tops of weakened
dikes.
Warning of the new flood came
like a body punch into tired resi
dents of Oregon, Washington, Ida
ho, Montana and British Colum
bia who have been battling two
weeks against the rivers worst
rampage.
From the Canadian Rockies
down the Columbia’s tortuous
1,000-mile course to the sea, flood
battered cities and farm communi
ties rallied to face the second
round-r-all except those who have
not yet wonlthe first round.
The original crest was causing
the most trouble in the heavily
barricaded area around Clatskanie
on the Oregon shore and Skam
okawa across the river in Wash
| ington. It was here—on the last
40 miles of its run into the Pa
cific—that wind-lashed waters
rolled over the dikes when the
incoming tide was the highest.
The run-over was only 1 inch
deep at its worst spot on the Ore
gon side—and it lapped over only
when the winds came. Army En
gineers said the water was run
ning three-tenths of a foot higher
than Wednesday when the criti
cal stage arrived ip this area.
The dikes still held. Thousands
of regular army troops, national
guardsmen and civilian volunteers
worked s’eadily to keep building
up the earthworks, stop the leaks
and the crumbling.
