Fire and water are each destined to pro duce on the mind of man a dealre dur-. lug the exciting momenta to exagger ate the incident loose. Independence Is located on the bank of the Wlllametto river, ami on ac count of the convenience of shipping valuable business pro'rty was located almost on the water edge. Mnco 1WJ1 .. tt,.i,.r lin visited this section to damage proTty, aud our janipio nan grown over-con tldent. Mauy loanea which oeeurctl came tttrougn careieas nc or lack of suitable procautlon on the art of Individuals. Thl year the water almost reached the mark uf ltUll, some say within six Inches of It, and cnisciueut!y those buildings exiwaed to the overflowing river wore damaged, Au estimate made during the excite ment of tho high water wa too high, nd now calm Judgment find that In rndeiwndeiiee the loss will bo amply covered In tho sum of about six thous and dollars. To this add losses In Marlon county aoroas the river; tho loss of Mr. Murphy's wheat and the loss of linllvldunls of cattle anil horse, am the estimate mado by tbl paper will atlll bo found to have beeu, through the estimates thou given, to be ;veu litrire. All over Polk county losses are re ported. At Illckreall tbo railroad bridge Is eono. Hrutiks bridge on th Salem road Is damaired. Tho Rlokreall mills loss f:UW through tho loss of their mill dam. at. nulla ex-HherlfT Grove lost IliMO tbroiiffli damage to his hop yard The county bridge there wa nearly washed away, but through prompt effort of Judge Htoutler was saved Tho Hiilleck mill dam wa washed out with Ion estimated at over 6W0 loss, Near McCoy and Amity bridge are damaired. Sheridan ha a very shaky bridge, and the street there were overflowed, Many thousand feet of saw log aredls trthotnd over the country, whloh was submerired. The I.ucklamuto was higher than ever known, by at least two feet, and one of the bridges Is washed away nii other more or less damaired. Tho loss to bridges In Polk county will not fall short of tflOOO although some place the estimate higher. Tho 0. C. R. R. from Portland to Corvallls esoaped with only slight loss, being five bent of a bridge at MoMlnn vlllo and tho Rlckreall bridge entirely gone. Trains wore delayed only a few day. Wo understand tho sympathy of the editor of the wipe at Dallas has In duced him to organize a company to build a motor lino from Independence to Mount Plsguh that wo may secure homes above hlifh water mark. Let us suggest that Portland, Salem and Al bany be asked to Join In this charitable ontetprlso as wo understand eauU of theso cities had some water tw. IMKI"KSHKNCK, Feb., 10, lfisK).
