At the recent convention of the Oregon Dairymen's Association - at Eugene a resolution was adopted favoring the present oleomargarine law and urging Senators and Representatives In Con gress to allow no tampering with the law.

Crushed House Part of 'Widespread Devastation From Great Storm Xcar Corvallls Slides Cause Lnrjfc Damage. CORVALLIS. Or.. Jan. 20. (Special.) A tragedy was narrowly averted on Woods Creek early Thursday morning. as a result of the heavy rains and high water. Woods Creek went on a ramp age and tore out the dam of the Noon sawmill, precipitating the pent uj wa ters of the mlllpond Into the valley below. The flood, dangerous In Itself, was made doubly ao by the large amount of drift and sawlogs carried on its crest. The home of. William Kerby lay di rectly in the path of the flood and was soon enveloped In the raging waters A heavy sawlog, coming end on with the swift current, struck the house with the force of a projectile and lit erally, plowed Its way through the building, reducing it to a shapeless pile of wreckage. The rising water picked up the ruined home and carried it down stream for some distance. where it finally stranded on' a pile of drift. The accident happened about 1 o clock Thursday morning, and tho first warn Ing given Mr. and Mrs. Kerby. who were asleep In bed, was the crash of the falling building. They were saved from being crushed by the falling roof by the bedstead that proved strong enough to carry the load until relief came early In tha morning. The rescuing party had to cut a way Into the Imprisoned victims of the dis aster. Mr. and Mrs. Kerby were but aiiglitly Injure. The flood demolished the Noon Rail way up Woods Cree"k and the wagon bridges along tha valley. The Marys River la reported to have been higher at Pbnomath than at any time since 1890. a period of 20 years. The heavy ralna of the present week seem to have wrought wide-spread havoc with the hill roads In various parts of the county. Telephone lines have been quite generally put out of commission and reports are coming In slow, but the list of washouts and land slides continues to grow and Indicates that the roads are badly demoralized and damage done that will require much time, labor and expense to repair. Mr. J. W. Vineyard reports an ex traordinary number of landslides in the Mountain View district. Five can be seen from the Vineyard home. One of these was over two acres In extent and larger ones are reported. A large slide on the James Fraser place threat ened to demolish the barn. Another on tha Perry Patten farm completely filled the canyon and blocked the county road. This slide happened Wednesday after noon. The avalanche of earth swept down tha hill carrying away 100 yards of fenoe and threatened to engulf a valuable prune orchard, but stopped be fore serious damage was done. High water also caused much Incon venience and did quite a little damage In the Mountain View neighborhood. Horace Lock'a new bungalow, recently completed, was flooded, and It Is re ported that the basement was nearly filled with mud by the torrents. The Sulphur Springs road is comple tely blocked by land slides. which has hovered over the Valley for a week ceased for a time today, but a snow storm commenced early this even ing and promises to continue through out -the night. Llttl Enow Melted by Kaln. ALBANY, Or., Jan. 20. (Special.) Very little of the heavy snow In the mountains of this part of the state melted during the recent heavy rains. This fact, which was learned here to day from reports from various moun tain districts, accounts for the condi tion that the Willamette River and other streams did not rise as high as was expected. The unprecedented heavy rains left very much more water stand ing on lowlands over the country than In any flood In years and this 'condi tion led to the belief that a record breaking flood might be expected.

One span of a bridge across the Taqulna went down and William Enos and lad named Hoffman, who were standing or the bridge when It gave way, were carried down with the wreck, narrowly escaping with their lives. Another bridge at Elk City, connect ing Hockins & Enos' sawmill with the Corvallls & Eastern, was carried out anil the sawmill property much dam aged, and a boom of logs lost.
