To-day linn been an exciting one ami
everybody hua been on the utrceta
hurrying to and fro trying to get any
crap of new and each Item wait
eagerly panned through the crowd.
This morning the water wan through
the main street of the town and came
up within a few Inchoe of the storci and
got In A. J. Wblleakera furniture store
and the Mazeppa aaloou.
At 11 o'clock Wtn. Steel, of Portland,

water ditch into Salem.
Haw mill men ut llrowiiHvlllo have
over one million feet of log aafely
boomed, the flrat mint-wifiil run for

Thla afternoon the atetitner N. 8.
lleutlny of the O. P. line came up the
river. Hhc tied to a tree 200 yurda
from town and the writer went dowa
and while keeping the boat headed
agulnat the current which rim very
awlftly Interviewed Capt. Bhort, and
all the puaaengera uud the dook handa.
The boat hiw been doing active work
aavlug projKirty near Ralum and came
up the rlvr In anawer to tho firing of
guns. Tho parties who fired the gun
were E. Huaton and family who were
taken from their farm houae thli morn
by oltizeni . here.! as aoop A It, WUa
learned, that no one was )n diitreas the
boat returned to Salem. We glean
from passengers and the Salem State
Tho bridge and the flint two piers fell
up Ntream, Indicating that the camte uf
tho full of the atrueturo wua that the
pier hud been undermined by thu
swiftly running at ream. In front of
the lut spun tho drift breakers wero
still standing ut, 2 o'clock thla morning,
hut they were not very firm and will
perhaps not buNtiiudlug this morning.
All Hint In left to-day to tell the story of
the big free bridge Is the Center street
approach and Its two supporting piers.
i'our steamers have beeu uliove the
bridge since the high water. Of these
tho Hoag Is far above, having gone to
Corvullls. The Champion lies tied at
Hulem loaded with wheat uud lumlier,
but cannot go to Portland until the
water Is lower. The Orient and llentley
have hoth been saving people and
cattle In the Hooded districts. .
The Huntley rescued Breslor and
family, and inter Kd. Dove and family,
