A blood-curdling story came from out In the hills lat Saturday to the effect that Fred Zollor. the Nohalem mail carrier, had lioen devoured by cougars and tha mail pouch could not be found after repeated searches.

Representative Moody says as the bill Is unanimously reMirteil by the committee that it is probably useless to offer any amend ments; but he will canvass tlie ques tion thoroughly, and, if there is a DossibilitT of success, he will offer an amendment providing that the unex pended balance lie transferred for the construction ol a canal upon plans here after agreed upon instead of being lost altogether.

ClATSKAlllB. Jan. 10 A very unusual manlfestion of the storm on Naturday evening has caused Immense damage to mib property oi a low oi our citizens and neighbors. Boon after 5 o'clock, p. in, Marshal Shearer and family, residing one and one-half miles west of town, heard a roaring accompanied by such a crashing of tree and combination of terrific sound as to frighten them, and on hearing the crash so rapidly ap proach, they left the house In terror just in nine to see a mass oi iiuioer and driftwood floated hy an immense vol ume ot water strike their bouse, move it from Its foundation and carry it over iw iei away, aigm coining on they sought shelter at W. H. Miller's, without a very clear idua of what had happened. Next morning it was discovered that something like a cloudburst bad oc curred about the headwater of West creek and the water coming down the canyon bad carried with it everything in uie way. jrees, logs, uunuings rocks, all gave away before tho mass of water, und were rushed down the nar row Korgo or piled from thirty to fifty leet liigli along the sides ot the moun tains to mark the water Hue and testify to the force that had dislodged and de posited them. A mile above Tichenor's saw mill were some buildings used for boarding and lodging the men, fortu nately empty. These were demolished, the logging road np the canyon obliter ated, and the mill itself carried from its foundation, pulverized und its mill ma chinery scattered and buried under sand and trees until but little of it can be seen. The bridge below on the county road to Mist was taken out, foundation and all, and a little farther along, the barn of Marshal Hhearer, with two horses, three cow and several tons ol buy, was carried 'away and livestock lost. In Shearer' meadow, where the water and timber had more room to spread , the Held is left covered with logs, driftwood and trees, many of which lodged against a grove of alder trees which caught them, until they are left piled around to a height of fifteen feet or mora and pretty generally dis tributed over the meadow. From here the water passed away with compara tively II ttbdamuge, aside from washing away tho bridge on the road to Flippin's mill and carrying away some fences on the Miller farm, where considerable and was deposited. The Tichenor Mill Company have lost their entire mill plant, the damage to them amounting to probably $10,000. Shearer' place is damaged over $1200, and some place his loss much greater. Soon after the accident the little stream wa ttnwinir ribbon-like through the great chasm it had cut tor itself and an observer could scarce believe that the small stream of water rippling along could have done so much damage. Such calamity has never visited this sec tion and many visitors nave tieen out to view the ruin so quickly and unexpect edly produced. . WIIECK ON ASTORIA ROAD. Train Dashed Into Land Slide and . Kngtneer Scott Killed. Astohia, Jan. 14. The first serious ac cident on the Astoria A Columbia Blver railroad that resulted in the loss of life happened Hstuarday night, and was miraculous that the list of dead was not greater, instead of one, the engineer. The train left Portland with three cab well filled with people. A the train wa passing Linnton the rails were sub merged by water for a couple of miles to a depth of two feet or more, and it was necessary to run slowly to avoid any Sossible accident. The train arrived at obie 30 minutes late. The track In the direction of Astoria was reported to be in good condition, and also that the trackwalker was on the line at work. Engineer W. M. Scott was in charge of tlie enirine ol the train, and fireman Jamea Davis on was the other side. The meht was very thick with souslls of rain coining constantly and both men were keeping a sharp lookout. The trackwalker was passed and he signaled that tho track was clear, which meant to Engineer Scott that the man had passed over the track within twenty minutes. When almost at whai fs known aa Bocky Point, about half, a mile east of liusby's Hole, Engineer Scott noticed an obstruction on the track, and said to Davis, "Jump I" just as th engine ran into a slide of rock and stone from the hillside. What hap immediately after that is not known, except that the passenger in the coaches were badly shaken up by a sud den stop, but none of them were injured. Alter the orst shock was oyer the male passe niters got ont to discover the cause of the wreck, and heard the cries for help coming trom a man In the river beside tho track. Tben it was found that the engine had gone into the river. All was confusion for some minutes, but some of the cooler heads took in tlie sit uation at a elance. A bell cord was cut and thrown to the man in the water, and with it he was pulled ashore. He proved to he Davis, the nreman. ne lad been keeping afloat by holding on to pieces of firewood from the tender of the engine. A soon as the accident waa known in Astoria a special train was sent out and the passengers brought down, as well as Davis, who appeared to be seriously injured. Scott, the engineer, went down with his engine and is supposed to be buried under it in the bottom of the river. Arrangements have been made to raise the engine, and nntil it is done the body of Scott cannot be recovered. Fireman Davis, who is now at the hospital here, has several bones of his right hand broken, a severe scalp wound, and man V bruises on his body. His injuries were not considered serious, but today his condition became worse, and the severe shock to his system may result aeriously. W. M. Scott, the dead engineer, was one of the oldest employe of the road and a man of the highest personal char acter. He leave a wite, wno resmes here, a mother, and two son, who live at L Urande.
