Now, amtrdlng to our olwrvlng
Mend on account of tho recent ini in
the stale of Oregon and the whole Pa
lil," want In general, Polk county
should have no enabling act; n the
,nimrv the little town of lhillaa
shoul.l lu all due reason remain the
if -..ii nf I'nlk forever, and for
ever, Pcrhui we bad not better atop

make la to ciinsnlldate these counties
with that of Polk lu view of making
ihilla the county seat. And now while
we are alauit it, In order that th work
mav U- done, and well done bat, let ua
remove the state capital Itself from the
nreseut lowland tsislllon, to the classic
high lauds of Dallas on the bank of
the LaCrcole, when-all fear ofltiaal
Mini deadly "miasma" will forever lw at
rest.
Now Mr. ftfwwr we again reiterate
Ihc slab ut that our total low" lu
the town of Inileis-udelldeiu-e will not
exceed JKHKKl. No water entered any oi
the grain warehouses In Independence.
Hie grain Is all lu as giaal condition as

In conclusion we would say that our
losses though considerable am no
,ri...ter than we can liear, and let us
add, thai, "even though they wore ten
time greater than they am, that the
crocodile tear and oat-claw. sympathy
or the Polk county Vlmrvcr would be

And now that the water are sub
siding and the old land (marks are
again becoming visible, the damage
done by the recent high water uoooiue
more and more apparent It seldom
wa have high water In our river.
This la the second we have hail In the
last twenty-eight years, and froin all
accounts this on lacked at least one
foot nflielng a high a the one In 'Oi-2,
aYUUTairpoliiU on the Willamette
above tha Hantlain river; below them
however, I believe front what I can
learn that It waa equal to and In some
place excelled the previous record, The
lo of course ha been greater a the
river bottom lire more thickly settled
than then, and tho amount of atoek Is
correspondingly greater, yet It does
look strange to think that old settler
should sit Idly by and allow the waters
to Imprison them and their stack when
the Indications were so strong for an
overflow, Yet It appears as though
they In common with the new arrivals
were caught napping, I hail some ex
perience with thu flood of '01-a and am
not anxious to go through with another
such.
In conclusion let me say that tho
damage to railroad companies have
been heavy, and It will take them some
time ts'fore trafllo will be resumed, yet
they are able to stand (heir loss, but our
sympathy gtwa out to the poor man
who ha lost all or nearly or hi effect,
and who Is disheartened ami dl
oouraged It Is heart rendering to
think of the homeless families all
along the different streams, who only a
few days ago were happy auu contented
It us one and all extend a helping
hand In their adversity. Calamities of
this kind are frequently reported from
various part uf the world, and If there
wa a time when assistance would' I
appreciated It Is now.

Notwithstanding Hie Ions of property
ibrouifhout tho stale by the late flood,
some good will certainly accrue to Ore

Yours Respectfully,

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.
