After a short but terrific rampage
the Grande Ronde river Is receding.
Bridge and dams along the upper
river have been threatened since late
Saturday evening when a portion of
the Perry dam went out releasing a
large head ot water, that was soon
threatening the houses built near the
banks of the stream at the Palmer
bridge. The rampage commenced
Saturday night and all day yesterday
It raged. The torrent reached a
height of about seven feet above the
normal. ,
However, lumbermen and those who
are In position to know, say there Is
but little trouble by high water this
season. They believe the worst has
ome and gone, and it appears that
not a bridge is to be torn from Its
moorings this season, much in the
contrary to former years.
Hundreds of people went to Oro
Dell and the Palmer mill yesterday to
witness tha torrent With terrific
force the water would strike the sub
stantial railroad bridge Immediately
ibove the county bridge at the Pal
mer mill, and in this way the county
Jtructure was saved considerable tear.

ut never in such quantities as to
threaten to flood the building located
here. More tinnier lay in tho bank
being washed away, thus undermining
he foundations.
At the Proebstel bridge the rlp-
applng again saved the structure.
Bridge Superintendent Campbell, who
as one of the busiest men In the
ounty yesterday, reports today that
t no time was there any serious dan
er In sight for the bridges farther
iown the river.
