Sutherlin Flooded
Sutherlln was badly flooded
Sunday, the water running more
llian two feet rteen i

buildings. On the highway south
the road was under water for n
Jong distance but was passable.

bur. 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.
Highway Covered
Further south, in the Winston
and Happy Vallev districts, the ex
cessive water flooded the hlKh
way and county roods. isolating
the residents, while at Dtllnrd the
highway was all under water nnd
the garden tracts on the lower
lands were inundated, tho resi
dents being forced to flee to high
er ground. .
Similar condition! prevailed fur
ther on south, nartlnulnrly in Can-
von Cmek ennvnn. b"!ow Cnnvon-

out chunks of tlm highway pave

A front dal nf dami"o was done
to bridges in all sections of .the

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

plied the street lights for the

North of Roseburg the line went
