Months Causes High Waters
MANY BRIDGES WHRE IN DANUER
Water WKhlo Few Incbei ol Oregon
Electric Bridie Weil ol Town
The heaviest downpour of the
year came the last of the week,
and the precipitation caused the
highest water of the new year.
The waters flooded the entire
valley and plains, and Dairy and
the Tualatin were on ft rampage
for several days, the crest of the
high stage being reached Sun
day, about noon. The bridge on
the Oregon Electric was threat
ened, and watchmen were nt the
structure all Sunday night. The
raise also threatened the Jack
son Bottom trestle and the
bridge near Jobe's, but the reces
sion started about two o'clock
Sunday afternoon. By thia time
the rains had stopped in the
snow districts, and Gales Creek
commenced to fall rapidly. The
Tualatin bottoms south of town
were flooded higher than at any
time previous since the rainy
season set in.
The weather bureau Monday
morning gave the excess of rain
fall at over 10 inches. Farm
work has been suspended aa far
an plowing and seeding are con
cerned, and the earth is so full
of moisture that it is going to
mean a very late seeding, as but
little plowing has been accom
plished this Spring.
Several culverts have been
floated here and there and it Is
estimated that the damage will
reach close to $500 in the county
at large.
