Pendleton, Or., June 1. Umatilla county has lost by a conservative esti mate at least $1,500,000 by reason of tho flood. It is impossible to give de tailed figures, for tho vntcrs in McKay creek and Ditch cteek, in tho Milton country, nt Weston and tho Umatilla river nro raging, nnd tho Holds nro still flooded nnd out of sight. On every hand, however, bb tho water recedes, nro loft fields of alfalfa coated thick'and weighted down with slime and silt. It is a worthless wasto, and must not onlybo cut down but taken from tho fields heforo other crops can be grown. Practically all ol tho alfalfa crops of McKay crerk aro ruinod. The terri tory varies from 100 feet to a quarter of a mile in width and is from 15 to 20 miles in length. All of tho bridges nro out, tho water, though falling, Ib still raging and no definite information can bo secured. At Weston tho town was damaged to tho extent ot $5,000 nnd tho same amount was lost in the Immediate vi cinity. In 54 hours 5?4 inches of rain fell, while on Weston mountain the fall ttas from 0 to 10 Inches. Four out of seven bridges nro washed out and three Binnll store buildings wore wnshod into the rlvor. Tho greatest dainago, poihaps, is duo to stock losses in tho mountnln rangeti. Thousands of sheen iind just been sheared nnd wero unprotected. Tint storm swept Into tho mountains with an advance guard of cold fog, followed by heavy rain and snow. In tho faco of this blizzard tho holders in many instances deserted their flocks, leaving 2,000 and 3,000 head to their fate.

Tho alfalfa fields aro masses of sediment, as nro tho straw berries, but tho latter will not nil ho lost. It Ib hnrd to put an estimate on Milton's damage, because many of tho Holds will bo saved. Tho rstimato of damage Is made by thoso who are fa miliar with tho country and who know the area and tho value of tho crops. No adtual figures are as yet forthcoming. In I'endloton tho loss will ho great on account of tho stocks of morchandlso flooded In tho cellars, nnd tho broken loveo and consequent flooding of homes. A conservative estimate of tho damago hero Is $50,000. Walla Walla, Wash., Juno 1. After four days nnd nights of drenching, Walla Walla and tho surrounding coun try nro gradually recovering from the unequalod torrents of water poured in to the river and streams and submerg ing tho Holds. Tho big plants depend ent upon tho electric power company aro still nut of business, but tlioro Is hope now that within ten days the power will ho supplied. The damago done by tho high wator has been immenso, hut tho reports coming in today show that the greater actual loss will fall upon tho farmers and tho fruitgrowers. A conservative estimate of the damngo dono to crops places tho bss nt fl'50,000. This Is not an exaggeration, as from all parts of tho county como renorts of bridge swept nvray, houses inundated nnd crops destroyed. Trial Is Postponed. Caldwell, Idaho, Juno 1, When the cnees of Charles II. Moyor, William D. Haywood nnd Genrgu A.

Theodoro P. Shonts, chairman of tho Panama canal commission, as tho guest today of At lanta friends. Ho dellvoroil two ad dresses. Tho first was at tho dedica tion of a now building nt AgncB Scott Instituto, n college fur women, in De catur, n suburb of Atlanta. Tho sec ond was delivered this evening heforo tho chamber of commerce, in which ho spoko of tho rohitionB of tho south to tho Panama cnnal. Ho took strong ground In advocacy of tho lock cnnr.l sjHtom. Mr. Shonts said that between tho tlmo of tho Boiling of tho supplies which wMI ontor into tho construction of the Panama canal and tho porlod when tho oponln of the canal will re sult in tho development of tho country a gulf la fixed. How great nnd how wide that gulf is will depend on tho typo of canal solcctod. Mr. Shonts spoko in favor of a lock canal as recom mended by tho minority ot tho consult ing board and indorsed by tho canal commission. Ho Bald, In conclusion: "Tho practical question for nil sec tions of tho country Ib, How long shall wo wait heforo wo can enter upon tho period of development which tho opin ing of tho canal will bring to tho coun try? I am not surprised that European countries nro indifferent to tho early completion of this canal. I am nut surprised that they aro indifferent as to how much this canal may cost our gov ernment. I am not surprised that they can view calmly an Indefinite postpone ment of tho, operation of this great waterway. Thoy are nelthor paying tho bills nor will their commerce and industries Buffer by waiting for tho complotlon of this undertaking. "Hut I ntn surprised that thoso who aro supposed to repreaont tho best In terests of tho American pooplo should try to throw obstacles in tho way of realizing tho benefits of this work nt the earliest possible ditto. When wo can get n hotter canal for less monoy and receivo liio uenelitB oursolves, why wait? Why mako it n heritage to our children, with tho possibility of their being deprived of Its benefits through some unforeseen contingency? I havo spoken of a gulf. Now how wide that gulf shall bo depends on tho proplo, Do you want tn reap tho bonofitH of this undertaking ynursolves, or do you want to transmit n hnpu to your child ren or your children's children?"
