Roseburg Hard Hit In Hoseburg the flood did a ereat deal of damage. In the residential districts along the river a number of houses were flooded, while all of the bridges were endangered. At the foot of Mosher street, Hoover street and other places In the Grove the water came up Into the houses and forced the resldonts to vacate, some of the residents be ing removed from their homes by ooat. Tho same condition prevailed at Beer Creek where houses on the north end of Rose street were flooded. One family was forced to move out at 3 o'clock Monday morning. The camp grounds furnished sight which drew hundreds of snectafors Sunday and Monday The high waler In the South TJmnqua and' the volume of water in Deer Creek combined to form most, serious condition at the camp grounds. The cabins along the creek bank were completely tnun dated, while all of the buildings and grounds were - flooded. The buildings wero all roped and an chored and during the night work men engaged themselves In the task of preventing as much dam age as possible.

EXPECT POWER 800N Not only have American marines and bluejackets taken over control T. H. Ness, manager of tho Hinpqua division of the Call- fornlu Oregon Power com- pany, reported at 8 o'clock to- night that he had received word that Copco repair crews were on tho Days Creek di. vide headed north and that the line had been opened to that point. They are making excellent progress and Mr. Ness believes that service can possibly be restored to normal unless unforeseen dlf- flcultles arise. It will take considerable lime to restore the service from the north, as more than one mile of the line near Cottage Orove has beenanl snn additional marines and washed out, poles and all. Mr. ' bluejackets landed yesterday are v Ness and tho Conco em- ployees have Kiven fine serv- ice In the emntrency. desnlto fremondous handicaps.
