Flood Damages Beaverhead Reservoir and Rail Line
A cloudburst overwhelmed Beaverhead Ranch Company's night reservoir causing a 200 foot dam section to fail. Flood waters ripped through hay lands and fields, washed out a long stretch of Oregon Short Line track near Bond station, and delayed trains for hours. Rail traffic endured eighteen hours of disruption as crews repaired damage, with northern and southern routes affected. Reservoir tender Mr McGrew reported about three hours of heavy rain after the burst.
