THE FLOOD OF 61-62. FORMATION FEOM TAEIOUS PARTICIPANTS IN THE EVENTS OF THE TIME. Last of Orleans Birth in the Flood Deaths in the Torrent ' Rescue of Kendall and the Smith Stewart "Fam- . ily Other Incidents. The absorbing topic of conver sation on the street and in public daces durine the past week is the late high water and former floods lire number of subjects for an ar gument and dispute wmcn comes . out of a discussion of these events . seems innumerable. "Did the last previous high rater occur in 1890 or 1891?" "How ccuch higher was the vvater at that time than it was this, week?" "How did that flood "' compare with the flood of 61-62?" "'Was the big flood in '6I1 or '62?" "Was one rise ia the lat'er part of December '61 and another the rst part of January ,62?" All these questions have been dkcussed with considerable warmth, by -old residents whose memories may bays been treacherous and by new comers wno nave gatnerea up a iew threads of the high water, his tory of the Willamette Valley. Ihe Iimes will not attempt to decide for any of the contestants, further than to say that the flood of 61-62 was the most : memorable in the history of the state. It was particularly disastrous jn this lo cality. On last Sunday night aright have been seen an occasion al lantern flicker on - the opposite side of the river, and now and then a half submerged cow would ' in dicate her discomfort' by a call for assistance. On a Pundav" nip-hr in the winter of 61 62 it was other wise At that time on the east side of the river 'there' was a village of some pretention to which had been given the name of Orleans by its founder. Isaac Moore, Among its Den Known inhabitants were leaac Moore-, Mr. and Mrs. Philip rnue, Mr. ana Mrs. Joseph Ger iard Mr. and. Mrs. Morgan Lillard nd a little beyond, there resided ---he latter's father-in-law. Charley juuisey.

I hat was more than forty years ago, out these now livin 'who participated in the scenes c that night'in the little village speak -vi mem wun awe ana deep con -cern. They say that it was an aw -lul time.

VThoe in the -greatest danger were inoved to. saf. piaces ia tne village. Joseph Gerhard and John Summer -con--:.veyed their wives, each with two 'rflall'(saiire.nf to the former's hay lo where. taey remained until the next dayi . In the mean time these - two gentlemen, Philip : Phile and others, were kept busy : with boats rescuing others. William Lewis and I', wife were young persons who-, occupied a ' email dwelling in the village, and they were determined to remain in tneir nine nome as long as pos- siDie. Hoping and believing that the water would recede. ; Before thev - xook leave ot the house however, the "wife was taken violently ill, and as the rising waters dampened the -straw . mattress upon - which she lay, a baby girl was born to ithe family." The necessity of her re- tnoval was imperative, and - the mother, and child and the bedding "were placed in a skiff. - They -were 'then rowed to the residence of Mr. Moore, and placed on - the ' second 'floor through the upper story .win dow, wnen day nnally dawned " the mother and child were biought " to Corvallis, where they were able "'to secure proper attention. As 'soon as possible after ;-daylight all the women and children of Orleans ' were conveyed to the west side of Uhe river,;; ; ' SDuririgjhe night and following "morning several houses were wash ed away on the east side, . among which was the one owned by Mr. Summer, whose family took refuge in the hay loft with Mrs. Gerhard; one belonging, to Philip Phile, which was afterward hauled back Beach residence at .- the ferry, building which had been built for brewery was aleo carried away. One result ot this Hood was that it killed the aspirations of Orkans Jo be come a rival of the westside town of Corvallis . ' ine high water of 61-62 carried awaj' the Mary's river bridge, It had been built the previous fall. V hen it became known that the bridge was threatened.. Tim Dona hue and a man named Dodee were sent with ropes and other applian ces to secure it. : When the men had gotten well onto the structure to begin operations it floated away witn the workmen. As it passed the terry with Donahue and Dode ... - . - - j - still aDoara, Minor Swick, - Benia : .ran . .,. , J mm moean ana xsat .Lane were endeavoring to free the ferry boat from a large log which had lodged against it. The two former went to the rescue of Tim and Dodge, and hnding a large - rope on the bridge conceived the ; idea that the structure might be snubbed to a pine tree which stood on a point at tne mouth ot Uixon.creek. While the others carried the line - ashore and made fast to the tree. Mr. Swick remained on the bridge to conduct operations. But after all, the snub rope broke and the bridge passed on. Mr. Swick. was taken off near the' John ' Stewart place a mile or so bfelow town. . Here the party had breakfast. J ' . - I During the meal Mrs. Stewait. whonow resides at the corner of Second and Jackson streets, this city, urged Mr. Swick and. Mr, Pilbean to proceed down the river j in their skirr and rescue the fam lly ot bmith Stewart, who then owned, and resided on what is how best known as the Eglin jplace. Airs. John Stewart felt certain that her relatives were, in danger ; The gentlemen complied with ler re quest, - and : vas -. they neared the Smith Stewart home, thev found the house empty,- but Jehial - Ken dall was near by clinging in a small tree with the flood sweeping against his legs." Mr. Swick describes the situation as such, on account of the current, that it would have been im possible to rescue Mr. Kendall had they not : providentially discovered i a clothes line which had been stretch ed on trees in the orchard. By at taching a stick to one ena of the June the boatmen were -able, after many attempts, to cast it - within reach of Mr. Kendall, who made it fast to a tree. . With the aid of the rope thus attached the boat was drawn into such a position as en abled Mr.- Swick to pull Kendall aboard. :, A safe landing was made on high ground some distance be low the Stewart bridge. ; Mr.' Kendall came into the pre dicament in which he ; was found, by going to the rescue of the Smith Stewart family in company with A. J. Thayer, Levi Russef. Al. Stewart and a man named Garner" . nni 5 3 - 1 . ncy naa gone aown : the -. river early in- the morning, but in an at tempt to reach the home, their boat was upset. Kendall and Garner became ; separated from the boat. and the latter .was drowned. Ken dall tortunately came in contact with and secured a hold on the tree from which.-, he; was- subseouentlr taiten py swick and Pilbean. The other party remained with the boat. righted it, .and was at length en abled to: remove to aolace of safety the -Smith Stewdrt i family, - which had 'taken refuge ' in the upper story 01 ineir nome. All ertorts of those in the Jboat to reach Mr.-iKendall at the time proved unavailing with the means at hand. ' and he was abandoned "for: the time being. At tempts to relieve- himrwere to have been renewed, but in the meantime ne was rescued as stated. - ; - - T) 1 j 1 . -t . -. maus me most aistressing in cident of the .great flood .was the drowning of , three children of : Mr, and Mrs. Abel George, The fam ily owned and lived on the Palmer place on the Kiger.' island. Mr. George was conveying his family to a placef safety and when about to make the landing on P. . Avery's rarm, a short distance south of town the boat was in some manner capsiz ed Mr. George first devoted his en ergiesto saving his wife. With her he secured a .hold, on a tree that stood in the water a ; consider able distance from the bank. . He decided hastily on the course to pursue, .and with his belt tied his wife by the wrist to a limb.: He then swam ashore and after a vain effort to render his children assist ance, went for , other , help. .. . When he returned,, 4 Mrs.-r Georgey had chilled to unconsciousness and al lowed her body to swing into - the water. 'i When rescued she, was al most dead, and it was many 'weeks before she recovered. Only two of the children were ever found. Three years ago "Mrs. -George visited Corvallis from "Southern Oregon and entertained-a . thought -of re-i turning here to live, but the family subsequently went to the coast re gion of Washington.

The altitude of the Government of France relative to the claims against Venezuela is that the French claims are in tlSa nature of a first lien , on the customs receipts, and thaty under no circum stances, are they to be subordina ted to other claims.
