thing like thie before;' and for once we
are incline I to believe the old man.
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.
