TERRIFIC Ml STORM
I! JMI HI MU
The Skagway wind is famed In the
north, perhaps rightly so. but the
breezes that blow down from the
White Pass are but gentle zephyrs
in comparison to the Taku gale that
assails Juneau and Douglas now and
then.
Last Wednesday a wind of almost
cyclonic violence raged in Juneau.
The following excerpts from Juneau
newspapers tell the story:
The 'errlflc storm blowing through
out the day yesterday left business at
a standstill and this morning it took
on but little activity when residents
ventured out to gather and repair the
ruis left in the wake of the fiercest
wind storm recalled in years. Five
chimneys were blown down last night
and early in the morning the chimney
on the postoffice was sent crashing
through the sidewalk in the rear of
the office onto the beach below. Many
of the signs of down town stores wen
destroyed. Large and costly jjlate
glass windows at the Louvre, the Al
aska Steamship Company's office, the
New York Exchange and the Alaska
(irill were blown in. Roofing was
torn from residences and buildings In
all sections of the city and over two
hundred window panes, it is estimat
ed. were blown in. Luckily through it
all no pi>rsonaI injuries occurred.
DOUGLAS. Nov. 18? The high
v iiul last night blow the roof off the
Tread well club building, and flying
timbers crashed through the roof of
James Chrlstoe's house on the side
of the hill. A plank from the wreck
age struck Mr. Christoe, who wasren-j
tiered unconscious from the blow. He
Is still confined to his room, but his
Injuries are not serious.
Three pieces of flying timber were
blown Into the wall of the bunkhoiise
opposite the club building.
An inflylng sash of broken glass at
the Douglas school yesterday morn
ing scattered broken glass all over
the room. Miss Johnson, Klmlra
Lewis and Edith Jackson received
slight wounds from the flying parti
cles.
The loss to the I. O. O. F. from
broken windows In the Odd Fellows
building will likely reach $200. It Is
probable it may cost as much to re
pair the broken show cases In J.
Heubner's drug store.
DOUGLAS, Nov. 19? Up the hill
side back of the Treadwell mines the
wind of Wednesday night swept two
paths a hundred yards wide. Not a
tree Is left. Had a row of buildings
been In the track of these squalls It
is probable that not a vestige woukl
have remained. The trees were torn
up by the roots and tossed on all;
side6.
