D. nENDEBSON, Afnti for Watling Sree. (m urn THE FLOOD ! Reports from Corvallis, Salem, Oregon City, Albany, and other Places la the Valley. Our State exchanges come to us laden with news of the great flood. The Corvallis Blade gitet the following re port : All the fall wheat on the Long Torn valleys is watlied out The Monree warehouse is greatly Jin jured j .1000 bushels of wheat lost. ilia bridges on the .Long ioni are principally on the rampage and not comfortable, having changed basn. The fences on both Long Tom and Muddy have been scattered over the upper and lower country. The bridge north of Corvallis over Dixon's creek is bunted. The Zumwalt bridge on the Albany road is non tf gone. The Oak creek bridge vest of Cor vallis has changed base. The bridge northwest of Corvallis on the Soap creek road is bursted. IK DANGER. A family by the name of Ash was living in the timber, Mr. Ash being en gaged in cuttiug wood. The water drove the family out of their house about 2 o'clock A u. Thursday.' Mr. ArIi secured lumber, nails, eta, and made a platform ia the trees where he took his family. As the river roso he built higher. Tbey were in this pre carious condition .y Hours, during which time the rain fell in torrents. Alex. Gillen, Chan. Douhe and Marion Cook, learning the family were in the woods, volunteered to go in search. They left here Tuenday evening, and soon made their way down the river to the woods. Unfortunately, they broke an oar in the woods, which accident came near costing their lives. They were washed into a drift, which they quickly mounted, and pulled the boat upon it. By creeping over drifts aud pushing the boat from tree to tree, they succwded in getting to James Stew art's late at night Their escape is almost miraculous. At daylight on Friday, they started again for the woods, their oar being made from rails ; they found the family, as stated, nearly starved and chilled tonuniK ness. OUT OF LUCK. Hon. Benj. Hajden, of Tolk county, loot some fifty head of cattle and one horse ; and after the water receded he turned three horses and a mule into a field. These horses were running and playing, and ran into a slough in the field and all of then, togetbrr with his favorita riding mule, wero drowned. 'at orkoox city. . This place, which suffered no much in the flood of '61, did not escape dam age in that of last week, as the follow, ing from the Euterprine hhows : Con siderable damage has been done to roads, bridges, etc. ; also, to the Ore gon City sawmill, the woolen niiils, flour mills and property along the bank of the river from Dr. Stuel's house to Green Point The roadway from Oregon City to Canemah, abrea.it the elbow of crib work, has been waHht-d out nearly to the walls of the railroad track for a distance of nearly 120 yards. The lumber sheds beloug ing to Mr. George Brighton, which were situated on the roadway to the mill, were waahed away, but most of the lumber , was saved in the eddy formed by the dock buildings. A small boom of logs that were in the basin shot over the top breakwater a lively as a drove of sheep-jumping a fence. A good portion of the road way to the sawmill has Wen' washed out entirely, but the bridge still stands. Mr. Broughton'a loss will not I over f 500 or f GOO. The O. It. N. Co.'s dock was submerged to the roof, but little or no damage was done. The damage to the woolen mills will in all probability be $G00. Many of their frame buildings have either been carried away or irretrievably ruined Their floors have beeiu torn up, side walks washed off, dye tubs raiaed.nteam pip, bursted, fiaiahing and washing rooms filled with sediment, etc Con sidcrable property had to be moved, iu addition to which about 300 cord of wood were washed away. The dock and elevntor hoube of the Oregon City mills was taken off, and at one time it was feared that the flood rising un dor the tight floor of their warehouse, coupled with the heavy swells, woul float it Oil" into the river, but, happily, those fears were not realized. . . DIUDOKS LOST. Th Salem State-.man of the 14th inst, gives tho following account of the loss of two bridges acroas the Sautiam : The Oregon Railway Company's roads being located nearer the roouu tains than the O. A O. It It, are, of conrne, exposed in a greater degree to the currents and driftwood. Oa the North Santiam river which is said to be the swiftest river in the Suto, the Ion and driftwood which had fallen in the mountains during the great Htorm of January, 1830, kept running down the river against the railroad bridge below Stay ton and piled upon the north pier of that bridge so rapidly that in two d.ys the whole bridge was almost impassable, jammed from north to south endi and back for COO feet, pressing heavily on the bridge, while the river was running at the rate of 10 miles an hour, and kept dashing over the bridire with enormous force. At- ttmpts were made to cut loose the logs and drift from the bridge, but in vain. The velocity of the current and the log drift kept increasing until tho country around it for a quarter of a mile was a rapid running river. At last the bridge began to weaken with the enor. mous increasing weight upon it, and Wednesday morning gave way, liberat ing the debris. The Santiam river has been a raging torrent The Santiam bride, better kuown as Blair's bridge, stood the mighty current, without wavering, un til 7 am. Wednesday, when the north span of tho Little North Fork gave itself up to the sweeping waters. At 12 m., the long trestle work . spanning the island between the main bridges, ct go its strong hold aud cast itself in the mighty river with a terrible crash, witnessed by hundreds of peo ple both of Linn and Marion counties. All that tluui remained of tho once ong bridge- was the span across the south fork, this span being 110 feot ong, resting on two abutments filled with rock, containing at ktbt fifty tons each, They stood tho pressure until 2 P. M,, when they wero literally jam med to pieces by tho swift water. Die main span, and lust one, was push ed off very gently, and came sweeping by here with all the pride of a vessel This huge structure, in passing vnder the wire rope across the river at Smith's ferry, broke the lare windlass from its fubtrning. It was a grand si"ht The ione remained fastened to he frame structure, the largo windlass still to the rope, wentsweepingthrough the water till it struck the frame work, and climbed over this immense struct ure and swung itself to shore on the opposite side. It was witnesseed by hundreds. The Marion county court only last Monday paid (800 as its share of the building of this bridge. YAM IT ILL COUNTY. In Yamhill county no material dam ago was done by the raise of the Wil lamette river, excepting at Dayton, where it was quite severe. In the warehouses belonging to W. S. Towell there are stored about 12,500 bush els of wheat, 1,000 belonging to him. self and the rest to the farmers. In Yocum's warehouse there are '-2,500 bushrls, all belonging to the farmers, and all in both houses unsold. In the. latter house the water in the wheat rose to the depth of 19 inches and only 7 in the former. Captain Powell has from 1,000 to 1,500 bushels in dam aged condition, and Yocum about 590. The greatest loss is a large three-Btory warehouso, 30x100 feet, the owner ship of which is in dispute, belonging to either Capt Powell or tho railroad company. On Saturday afternoon the building rose and floated down against the bridge, where it rested until Thnrs doiy morning, when the whole town as sembled on the spot and began tearing down and cutting away the immense structure so aa to save the bridge The upper story only was removed, but tha work will be pushed vigorously forward until the bridge is free from the now impending danger. The building M said to bo as good as new, the first cost of which was about $2,500. The water . was backed up from the Willamette and there was a very slight current, other wise the destruction of the bridge would have been certain. When the water falls a little lower there art sev eral old shipping warehouses which will tumble and go down stream. The narrow gauge road is still in operation, the nearest station bring half a mil out of town; the high water prevents them from coming further. Captain Crawford lost 1 28 .Angora goats by drowning; value, 1 1,000. AT PORTLAND The damage will be great ,. The own ers of wheat on the docks between Tay lor and Salmon and Main streets, suff ered heavy loss. Holes were cut through the sidewalks and sides of the docksand wheat tumbled out with all possibla haste. Two hundred ant" fifty men together with every truck and dray in the city were busy all day Friday and Friday night in the removal It wa a sorrowful sight to see the muddy wa. ter creep up over the immense piles of grain, and damage thousands of bushels of beautiful plump wheat, such as gain ed Oregon the front rank in grain pro ducing States as to quality. The wa ter was thick and mushy with it, while other and dry sacks, which bunt ia handling, went to increase the great aggregate of the lost. Loser. Tona Goo Marshal 4 Co . 500 M.

JOI1X DAY VALLEY. The heavy rains coming on the top of the snow caused the highest water that has been known for years in the John Day valley. Little streams be came river, and the John Day looked like the Columbia. Bridges were washed out all along the valley, and travel was suspended. Wednesday's stage for Baker, from Canyon City, had to turn round at Indian ceek and come hack. At B. C. Trowbridge's tha family had to move into . the upper story of the house for safety. BENTON COUNTY. Corvallis Gazette: In Corvallis Jas. A. Cautliorn's loss from damaged wheat will be between four and five hundred dollars; T. J. Blair's wharf is badly undermined, but as the wharf was old and would have to be rebuilt the com ing season the damage is only from inconvenience, no other damage of any consequence was sustained in the city. The cos n try, however, above and b low town has been far less fortunate. The warehouse of K, N. . Culbert ten miles above this place was washed front its foundation, and about eight thous and bushels of wheat destroyed; Hugh Finley also loses a large quantity of wheat, but his warehouse is not injured the exact amount we have not learned. All along the river from the south lie of the county to this city, the fencing In the overflowed district is all gono and many instances large numbers of cattle, sheep and hogs, most of the farmers being able to save their horses, though some were lost below town; though tha section of thi immediate country was not so wide yet the loss was propor tionately greater owing to the fact that the water being confined to less spaca was more violent and destructive. The calendar of the United Stat Supreme Court ia crowded with oa that cannot be reached for yeiu and several of the Justices are no able to work. It is becoming a rtproach that theright of suitors cannot be enforced. Si'bscribi for th Guard. ' ' ' e
