Imprisoned. A Salem man came Into
the city Sunday evening on hh way home
from Cottage Grove, in Lane county,
at which point he has been Imprisoned
since the4rirst of the month by the flood
and washouts He give an interesting
account of the t'.Ue disasters thst befell
the people and railroads up the valley.
The railroad track is now in fair run
ning conJillon from Junction to Rose
burg. There was a terrible wreck of the
railroad track between Junction and the
Harrlsburg bridge. Three crews of hand
are at work repairing It, and it will be
ready for travel by to-morrow, or next
day. There were some washouts about
Harrlsburg, but they have been repaired,
and as scon as the Junction washout is
repaired the track will be clear from here
to Roaeburg. The man made his way
this far by walking some and by the hand
car. Bridges 'the Marys bridge at Oorval-
Jl, which went out last we:k,cost $14,000
Mr Stone, the bridge man, informs us,
$1300 being put on it lets than a year ago
The Brownsville bridge, part of which
went out, if replaced entirely ,as il is tald.lt
needs to be, would cost nearly $15,000.
Mr Moss, the Assessor, gives us the situa
tion of the Sweet Home briige.whlch , a
peculiar one. One of the abutments is
nearly washed eut,so thst the briJe at that
er.d hangs by the corner .and was liable to
topple over at any moment He reported
the Wiley bridge as one of the structures
washed out. The bridge repairing ex
pense to this ceunty will be found to be
considerable when all the precincts are
heard from.

was sent from Walla Walla to the Portland
papers on the 7th instant: "The body of
Nicholas Frazier, a wealthy young man
who some time ago was lost in Ihe moun

three-fourths of a mile from where he
was last seen. He had slid down the aide
of a mountain, a thousand feet, and his
neck was broken. The body was brought

Bridge Inspectors. A hand car load
of bridge Inspectors went South last lion
day, AH the bridges between Albany
and Aurora had been inspected and were
pronounced safe. Beyond Aurora the
'rack was in a bad condition : but all the
men to be secured were putting it in con
ditlon and it will only be two or lhreday

who will laugh heartily at the joke. They

of a very marked nature was that of the

club organised recently at the couit houve,
one with blood streaming from Its nostrils.
Dally rehearsals are had and Gear, it is

resented at this conference.

he returns he hopes to be followed, after a

Several parties who have been feeding
their stock in town drove their animals to

most disappeared since the Chinook came
and the desert Is covered now with abund
ant grass and water.
Down In Willamette they had q ilte a
snow, but It Is all gone, and things look
bright as spring. We have had more or
less snow ever since Thanksgiving, And It
U still here. We are stayers we are.
But for all that,wh- would exchange this
climate for that of Wrbfoot t Not many
would.
The Oregonian reports a foot of snow
all over the Ochoco country. We had tlx

Several Falskiioods. A Corvallis
paper says:
Albany suffered to a great extent, though
the damage a yet can not, of course, be
estimated.
Albany did not suffer to a great extent,
in fact, very h'tle. Also

not damaged to tome extent by the flood

Notwithstanding the water was very high
here, our electric lights burned as bright

A Wabxing. According to one Salem
paper it I now learned that the bridge
there was too hastily as well as lightly
built. The State Democrat says: "Salem's
frail, toy bridge has gone the way of all
the earth. It ought to have been saved.
The undue haste which attends! the pre
liminaries of building the bridge indicated
a bad result. The thing at that time looked
like a job. The irresponsible bridge
builders were enough to warn the public
against them. But no, they must have
the contract and they got it, before the
city council were called upon to act on the
subject.
It Stood the Storm. A gentleman
ust from Stayton Inform the Journal
that the Staton bridge, which various ru
mors have been rife about, is standing as
solid a the "lock of axe," and at no time
siiowed 'any signs of going out, yet the
raging torrent wat very trying on it, un
several occasions newt reached the city
that Jthe splendid structure had go'ie out,
which, 11 true, would have been a cool loss
of almost $30,0110 to Marlon county and
the citixen of Htaylon. Salem Journa',
If ihe Democrat remembers correctly
Linn county owns half of the bridge, and
in case cf loss would lose about a much
as Marion county.
A Close Call. Hon George Wag

Saturday evening, on McDowell creek,
ten miles east of Lebanon, the 17-year
old daughter ol Mr. Perry Otborn com
mltted suicide by drowning herself in the
swift running waters ol that well known
creek. Her body was found fifty yards
below where she entered the water and
was given a Christian burial, amid the re
gret of the neighbors. The case Is a
very sad one. According to the account
given to the Democrat the young woman
left a note giving the reasons for the rash
act, which were that a young man, a mem
ber of the wagon road surveying crew In
that uelghborliood several months ago,
had, under professions of affection, be
trayed her, and she took that course to
end the matter and cover up her shame.
We lefraln from giving the name ol the
villain who was the cause of her down,

February lnd, 1890,
sY. Democrat :
Knowing that the many readers of your
valuabla.paper are more than axtout to
hear from all parts ol the county and state
concerning the present high waters, I deem
it important to tell them what has been go
ing on here, though the damage here Is
nothing compared with other places. It
began raining Tuesday mornlng.the aSih,
and has been raining ever since, with the
exception of one half day, Yesterday the
log commenced coming down the river
in the afternoon. They came thick and
fast, the river being full between the
banks. Some parties counted four hundred
and eighty that passed In about five min
utes. Several million feet went by. About
8 o'clock p. m. Field's old dtm and mill
frame went out. Parties who were up
watching the logs go by isld there wat
long building went down the river about
a :jo o'clock this morning. It is the pre
vailing opinion that it wat the covered
bridge about three miles above here. The
bridge here is In a very dangerous condi
tion and will probably go out yet. Quite
number of. persons were viewing the
sight to-day, when about ti o'clock a log
struck one of the corner posts to Ihe plan
ing mills and knocked It out. The corner
settled down several inches. Twelve or
fifteen men went to work Immediately to
moving the machinery, valued at about
$xxs, to a place of safety. The water
ditch also, belonging to Glass Bow., is
damaged largely.
Mr Pugh of Uilt place caught about 350,.
000 feet of log In Mr McDowell's boom
about a week ago, to be sawed by Mr Mc
Dowel!. Near 1 a o'clock last night they
commenced to go under Ihe boom and
kept going until all went There is but
one house in town, Mr Hughe,! hat Is en

for thl most desirable property .the owners
have laid out an extension to this addition
and have set aside one block only for Al
