The rain "torin, which continued with unithiled Itiry over Sunday and Monday, wae one of the mont severe ever ex perienced in Oregon, earning aHtoninh ment and connternation to the Eaalern i vinitors and working great discomfort to ' old Orvgonlani, who are (apposed to en Joy and ordinary shower. The storm was an unuatial ore on account of the j severity of the wind which waa some- tnintt ol novelty, coining as it did in i fitful icu'ta, driving the rain before it, land canning every little slough and j branch to become a wild, raging stream. The Willamette river continued to rise ' until Thursday, showing by the volume of water it carried that the rain storm wae general throughout the upper valley. Ureat damage has been wrought by the high water; wagon bridges are wash ed away, railroad tracks torn out, delay ing and tying tip trains, crops and farm building! greatly damaged, saw mills along the river swept aw ay and their yards of manufactured lumber and other proerty dentroyed . On Sunday the embankments of the approaches to the Santiatn river bridge of the Southern Pacific cbmpany at Jef ferson were washed out and later the embankments at the trestle between Marion and Jefferson were damaged by the water, making it impassable for trains. At Creswell, twelve miles south of Eugene, 1"0 feet of track was wanlied awav sometime during Saturday nkht and the overland train, as well as the flyer, southbound, were stopped in their progress as were the overland trains and Kosehurg mail, northbound. When the break occurred at Jelferson the company sent the overland trains around by the West Side road .to Cor vallis, thence over the O. C. k E. line to Albany, where they were again placed on the main line of the itud south. At Creswell passengers were transferred from this side of the washout to the trains waiting on the other side. The locks at this city closed Sunday at 5 o'clock p. m. and on Wednesday even ing the npiwr river registered 14.2 feet and the lower river 30 feet above low water mark, the highest it has been nince 1803, and V. E. Pratt, the O. R. & Co.'s gentlemanly agent, thought the worst was over for this time. The constant swirl and swish of the high water washed the foundation from one side of the new pier the East Side railway company put in last summer under their bridge over the Clackamas, allowing the pier to lean sidewise. The bridge is perfectly safe, however, as this particular pier was put in simply to strengthen the bridge in the event of an unusually heavy strain. The East Side railway car service was considerbly demoralized by the gathering of water on Burney flat, the drainage being insullicient to carry off the volume of water precipitated upon it during (he recent storm and passengers had to b6 traimfeired around the temporary lake made in consequence. The covering of one of the piers of the Southern Pacific railroad bridge across the Clackamas river has been stripped off by the action of the drift upon it, but otherwise the pier is uninjured. The river has been almost one unbro ken chain of logs, brush, lumber, sec tions of fences and a'l sorts of floating things which the river was hurrying toward the sea. From County Judge Hayes, who spent all of Wednesday interviewing and in structing the different road supervisors, it is teamed that almost all the small bridges and culverts throughout the county are washed out. The elegant fill made last summer n the road between Oregon City and Da mascus, at a cost of some $150, is com pletely washed away. The approach to the bridge at the mouth of the Tualatin is gone, but the bridge is uninjured. Men are engaged removing th3 huge land slide at Cape Horn bluff on the Clackamas river road between the Hatchery and Oregon City. The Ruth, Gypsy and Modoc, of the O. R. & N. Co., the Albany, of the O. C. & E. Co. and the Romona, of the O. C,, T. Co. are all up the river and did good service in affording relief to the farmers on the low lands and flooded districts by removing grain, potatoes and stock to places of safety. Tuesday night the wind Miifted to the north and the weather berume decidedly cooler. The weather prophets lay that the cold is general throughout North western Oregon and Western Washing ton arid that conditions are so unsettled that it is a very difficult matter to say just how things are going to pan out. nuniT COlttT.
