Rivers in Northwest
Still on Rampage;
Dikes Reinforced
PORTLAND, Oreg., June 8.—The
Columbia and Fraser Rivers sent
their third flood crest downriver
today. Sandbag battalions defend
ing battered American and Cana
dian dikes were reinforced for three
more weeks of siege.
Scorching weather throughout the
Pacific Northwest sent tons of
water from fast-melting mountain
snow into the two rampaging river
systems. The Kootenay River, one
; of many feeding the Columbia,
crashed through another dike in
Canada. Water poured over 8.000
acres of rich farmland near Cres
ton, British Columbia, 350 miles
east of Vancouver.
Elsewhere in the vast, flood-rav
aged region of Oregon, Washington,!
Idaho, Montana and British Co
lumbia, men and machines barely!
held the weakening levees.
Damage Put at 140 Million.
Both in the United States and
Canada, more manpower and earth
working equipment was thrown into
the battle that already has cost
27 lives and perhaps $140,000,000
damage. Hundreds still are not
definitely accounted for in the
Memorial Day destruction of Van
port, was housing city of 18,700, on
the Columbia near Portland, Oreg.
Authorities at New Westminster,
British Columbia, advised 5,000 resi
dents of suburban Queensborough
' on Lulu Island to evacuate nightly
while the swollen Fraser crashes
into high tides coming up from the
sea.
Mayor W. M. Mott appealed for
1,000 workers daily to meet the new
crisis. “We will be able to hold
I the river bank if we get manpower,”
! he said. “We are fully equipped
I with machinery and supplies but
manpower is the vital link in the
battle.’’
Thousands Work on Levees.
It was the same on the lower
Columbia in the hard-hit dike area
from Portland down the Oregon
and Washington shores 100 miles
to the ocean. Army engineers
rushed more men and equipment
into the fight that has raged the
' clock around for 20 days.
Thousands of regular Army and
Navy men. National Guardsmen
and civilian volunteers work fran
tically to make the levees higher,
plug small breakthroughs and stop
the seepage.
Danger points are the Portland
and Clatskanie areas of Oregon, the
twin-city Longview-Kelso and Cath
lamet sectors on the Washington
side.
Near Portland the $43,000,000
Reynolds Metals Co. aluminum re
duction plant, the Portland Airport
and rich commercial gardens stand
behind soft levees.
Earth barriers guarding Longview
and Kelso also are soggy. South
Kelso was flooded days ago.
Missing List Reduced to 545.
At Cathlamet, six power shovels
and 80 trucks are trying to keep the
levees higher than the river. Their
margin is about 6 inches.
The Red Cross at Portland re
vised again its list of persons still
unaccounted for in the Vanporo
disaster. It said the total today
was 545. Last night, it listed 745.
Within three hours 170 called to
report they were safe. The agency
said it expected the list to be
trimmed further. Waters covering
the city have given up only two
bodies.
The Red Cross said this list was
in a different category from the
list of 52 missing which it released
Saturday night. Most of the 52
have since been located, it added.
The list of 52 had been built up
during last week from Vanport sur
vivors who could not locate mem
bers of their own families. The new
list also included inquiries by rela
tives and friends living in distant
parts of the United States.
Gen. Mark Clark, 6th Army com
mander, was due today from hjb San
Francisco headquarters to inspect
Vanport and other points in tnis
flood zone.
