A. W. Cook, whose farm I located
at. Damascus, wa In this city Friday,
and visited his brother, Postmaster
J. J. Cooke.
Mr. Cooke made the trip on the
Southern Pacific, fearing he would
have difficulty by team, owing to Indi
cations of high water near Parkplace,
and other sections along the roadway.
Mr. Cooke says the Clackamas river
a week ago wa the highest since the
flood of 1882.
Mr. Cooke and wife made the trip
from Damascus to view the flooded dis
trict, and upon reaching the point
near Carver, near the Baker bridge,
they were surprised to see Immense
logs and debris carried by the torrent
down the rlverfl, knocking out bould
er and bank from the property along
the river.
One of the place of beauty along the
Clackamas , damaged by the high
water wa tho property of E. M. How
ell, of this city, formerly owned by
the government, where once stood the
fish hatchery. Great banks of dirt
were taken out by the flood, while an
other farmer in that section lost two
acre of hi peach orchard. The trees
were swept away, and a channel wa
formed In the orchard. The property
of II. L. Patterson at Stone wa dam
aged also. Mr. Patterson lost some of
hia prize honey bees, and hi chick
ens were laved by climbing to the top
of the barn. HI cow that wa in the
barn was saved with much difficulty,
the animal refusing to "take"to the
water that surrounded the barn. In
the barn at tbe Patterson place wa a
large quantity of lime to be used in
plastering the new summer home of
C. S. Jackson, of Portland, and It was
practically ruined. John Holcomb lost
hla chicken house with all of hi chick
ens. This poultry house went sailing
down the stream with chickens on the
roost while some were perched on the
roof. The whereabouts of the birds
is now unknown.
Mr. Cooke said while he and his wife
were at Stone reports came that James
Reddaway had tost his life by drown
ing,' and great excitement prevailed
until the truth wa known that Mr.
Reddaway and wife were safe, al
though their home had a narrow es-

Judge J. U. Campbell In the circuit
court has modified the decree In the
divorce suit of Charles c, McCoy va.
Laura E. McCoy, issued some time ago,
in which the child was given to the
custody of the father so long aa it re
mained In the care of Mrs. M. R.
Plants In Portland. The father has

Mr. and Mrs. H. S. Clyde, who hare
been making tbelr home for more than
a year near. Denalr, California, where
they have bad property Interests, but
which they have sold, have returned
to Oregon City to again take up their
residence on their place at Clacka
mas Heights. Mr. Cldye made many
Improvement to his 20-acre farm, one
of which waa the establishing an irri
gation ditch 'through the land, which
was a great benefit to last year' crop.
During the past year the ground In
that section of California, which is
about 41 miles south of Stockton, has
become very dry, and many ef the
farmers have had to Install ditches.
Although Mr. Clyde haa owned this
farm six years, this last year has been
the only time where the farm has been
found profitable, and Mr. Clyde states
this is due to the ditch. After his ar
rival at hi farm, noting the condition
of the soil, Mr. Clyde Immediately set
to work and had the ditch dug, costing
him about $50 per acre, but has result
ed most satisfactorily and his crops
went to about $250 to $280 per acre.
Much of this land, if not all, needs to
be fertilized as well, and the farmers
have found that farming in this section
of the state canbe successfully carried
on with the proper methods followed.
Many are each year planting their land
to two crops, the first to be of grain
and harvested In June, while the sec
ond crop Is of Egyptian corn and beans
harvested In the early part of Novem
ber. A year ago last fall, shortly after the
arrival of Mr. Clyde and hla wife in
California from Oregon, they found
that only seven Inches of rain had
fallen- In that section, and even this
list summer and fall the ground has
been too dry for the farmers to do
their ploughing. The farm work is
now being started, and the farmers do
ing their ploughing, getting their
ground ready for planting their seed.
Mr. and Mrs. Clyde are more tnan
pleased to get back to old Oregon,
even if it does rain a great deal In the
fall, and both are thoroughly enjoying
this present weather.
