A SEA OF WATEP, Highest Since the Flood of '90 Mitils and Passenger Trains Dclajed and Freight Trains Abandoned. Witkouli, aud Dimii 10 Seiners Aland Hoiiomi. The Willamette river at this city this morning presented a sen of water. Tlie stream bad attained a height of 10J feet, according to the register on the river bridge at 6 o'clock thin morning, the highest fllne the Hood of .'00, when the rise at its highest point reached twenty-two feet and 1 inch, and the waters continued at a high stage for seven days, stopping all trains aud mails during that time and doing $40,000 damage to Lanu couuty in loss of roads and bridge. The rise of the Willumutte was quite rapid, occasioned by wurin chiuouk rains which brought the suow recent ly deposited in the mountains out in such volumes as to soon fill the streams to overflowing. The rains have fallen almost Incessantly since Friday uight and greatly increased the volume of water which the streams were unable so carry away The Wil lamette at this city ruined from the 6-foot mark (Saturday afternoon to the 14-foot mark yesterday afternoon, when it began to leave the banks of the stream. vy six o'clock: Una morning it had reached a height ot 19 feet and all the bottom lands along the stream were submerged. At nine o'clock last night the wind suddenly shifted from the south to the north and the temperature fell several de grees. This doubtless turned the ruin, which was fulling in the mountains, Into snow. The weather continued cool last night and today aud the river began to go down this morning and has fallen quite rapidly toduy. The danger is now over unless the temperature should grow warm again. IN EUGENE. In Eugene no damage has resulted from the high water. The swale south of town waa flooded to overflowing and sidewalks In the south part was floating last evening. The sewer la flooded by bock water from the river, but lacks fully two feet of being as high as it was last winter though the river is 2 feet higher than it was hist winter. This is probably due to change In the current of the- river. The only place that the sewer has overflowed is on the Phil Miller prop erty on sixth street. The water just reached one corner ofths building at the tannery, and operations were not suspended. The race is overflowed and water power will not be available for several days. The damage to the race caunot be told until the waters have receded. The electric light plant Is being run by steam power aud the flour mill Is shut down. . Water at tained a height of two or three feet in both buildings. A part of th wing built toj protect north "approach or the bridge has been carried away and a large quantity of drift wood has beeu deposited against the approach. The approach and the bridge, however, have remained intact. TRAINS AND MAILS DELAYED. Freight trains have, been abandoned by the Southern Pad 11 o company and passenger trains are irregular. No 18 local lor Roseburg, due here at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon ar rived at seveu o'clock yesterday even ing. No 10 overland for San Francisco due here at 1:39 p in today arrived at 7pm and laid over until 9 p m, when it was ordered on to Creswell. The Shasta flyer and No 15 overland f r Portland, due here this morning, fulled to arrive. The delay north of here is caused by a washout between Jeflursoa and Marlon. The delayed overluud which arrived here this morning from Port land was sent out by the West Side division from Portland and crowed over on the O C & E's line from Cor vallis. Another train was started out of Portland this morning by the East Side line, bnt no definite Information can be gained as to when it will Mich this city. A UU uoinj v. - - - v a washout at Lurch's Spur, two miles this aide or cottage urove. j. no onusia flyer and No 15 overland for Portland dm t.ol.1 of rVittnira Drove. No lti overland for Ban Frauclsco is hold at Creswell this side of the wasiiout. -o 18 Koseburg local laid at Creswell last night and this forenoon was oidered back to Portland on No 17's time. It had several cars of piling and took a pile driver from this station which will be used In repairing the track le tween here and Portlaud. No transfer of passengers or mail was made at Lurch's spur and no San Francisco mail has been received In this city since yesterday mornlug. A con struction train has been sent out from ltoseburg to repair the break Id the track at Lurch's spur as soon as the water goes down. On the Springfield branch at Coburg yester day cars loaded with rock were run out on the bridge across the McKeti.ie to weight it down. STAGES STOPPED. Bangs MoKenzle stago started out out on its first trip to Leaburg this morning but was compelled to turn back at Henderson because of high waters. Baugs' Siuslaw stage was also started out this morning aud got as far as the long bridge on Coyote when it too was compelled to tura back. The stages will start out again tomorrow morning, as the mall laws require that they make an ellort each day until they succeed In gettiug through. ALONG THE KIVEB. Along the river considerable dam age has undoubtedly occurred to gar dens, orcards and tock, but the ex tent of the damage cannot be told un til the water has fallen. On Patternon Island near this city two families who were surrounded by water signalled for help this morning by firing of! guns. They could not be reached, but were not In immediate danger as the water soon began to recede. Telegraph wires are not effected ami communication hot U'iUkll .1 ulltiin.l nti.l ti .. .. . ... v.... wiimiri mill Portland Is kept open. Owing to lack of outside news the extent of the storm Is uukuowu, but the flood is at least geueral to tho Willamette valley. at 4 o'clock. The latest reports are to the eilect that the overland from San Francisco would arrive at 5:3J p m, the washout having either been repaired or a trans fer made this side of Cottage Grove. The locul from Portlaud was expected at 4:H0, a truusfer having la-en made at Marion. NOTES. The river had fallen to tho 17 foot mark at 3 o'clock this afternoon. Mr Davles, who lives Just across the Eugene bridge, had a number of hogs drowned. The sower Ins done splendid work all through the storm. It I worth double what it. cost for ridding the city of surface w ater. ' Before the grading of tho streets tho river used to back up into the city whenever the river registered sixteen feet at the bridge, Now a twenty foot ralte does not put any water luto the city. The territory on South Willamette street was one. huge lake yesterday al ternoon and several barns in that neighborhood wero Hooded. The passengers of the south bound overland truiu took their breakfast in this city this morning. The Eugene butchers all killed enough stock and hauled the same to town yesterday afternoon to lust them two or three days. Wise men The flouring mill is closed down on account of tlio high witter and the electric light plant is now run by steam. TUB liYl'SY WILL NOT LOME. The 0. Ii. & N. Company Announce That It Will Mot Kan Hunts Above ilarrisliurg. M Svarvcrud, local freight agent for the O Ii A N Company In this city last season, has written to know it the company intended running a boat to Eugene this winter. He received a reply from D O O'Nellly today which I:: subsluuce Is us follows: "Our present intent is not to run above llurrUburg. Our experience with the Lugeiio business lust season was so bad tiiat we are loth to embark lu it sguiu until we cau at least see suficient business to p.ty rperatlug ex penses." If the business of Harrisliurg will pay tho company to ruu a bout there It certainly would seem that it would pay to ruu one to l-.ugene. 1 lie vol ume of freight handled in this city Is certainly as great us that a' llurrisb'urg, and the additional expense of running hero is not very great.

Salem Journal: The Salem Woolen Mills have not reduced wages as has been reported on the streets for several days. When the mills started up, before election, the wages of seveu men were advanced from tl per day to 1.2.5. The wages paid are all low, but not lower than what other mills pay for similar work. The report that the mills at Oiegon City have raised wages 12 per cent is not true as has been published. The rumored raise of 10 cents per man In tho Oregon City paper mills is also a mistake. t., .,.o iimvmiiiii iirt:i The first ir.A.1.-) ."- - i ...i r.u, l..ll tennis of the U of Mliu i-ec-iiu iww ...... - . i ,.

The rowdies of Corvullls who viewed the game aud tho prize-fighter ami other dirty players on Hie O AC team were decidedly angry with tho officials, however, treatise they would not permit a steal of the game Per an ex hibition of dirty football and urize tlghtingnn tlio part of Kulsey, Brady Burnett ami one or two ntherOAC men. Tin O A C team in the main were gentlemanly fellows and played fair ball, but there Vt'cie some whose ideas ot football apeard to have lieeli gained from the prize ring and other equally contempt ihlo places. There wero a largo iiuiiiIht of spectators who wore even worse; w hoso training in even common decency has been sadly neglected. They neglected no oppor tunity to Insult aud revile the Eugene contingent and conducted themselves til a way which was a disgrace to any community. Mr Burckhardt, the ref eree, was attacked and struck twice by an individual called Kelsey, who was simply registered at the OAt! bivnisc of his ability as a bruiser. Mr Burek hart is a perfect gentleman ann is re spected by all w lio know him as a tuuu of honor, and the assault wnseu tlrely unprovoked and was the npwt cowardly and outrageous proceeding ever seen on a football field. The U of O team all played good, hard football, but were fair and gen tlemanly In their conduct and won praise aud golden opinion from all do cent people. I may well say I am proud of the IT of O team both as football players and as gentlemen. J O FllK'K. ( 'om PLI l knt A k V.

We, the undersigned ineuilx rs of the Salvation Army of Eugene, do hereby announce to the publio aud citizens of I .itne count v. that we have with drawn our membership from ti e said Salvation Army. Our reasons we give below. We Joined the Salvation Army for the puipose of working for the cause of Christ, and the salvation of souls, and the result has been only the contempt or good society, Willi utiorund money spent lu valu, while our motives and efforts were pure. lu the undertaking we have not only bad to Hitter tho disrespect of our friends, t . ti t the reproach of our officers as well. We have tried to mako al lowances fur Ihem and cover up their shortcomings, hoping to make a sue ecsH In Hie end. We have called upon our Divisional Agent repeatedly to ad just mailers, but have only lvn Ig nored, we nave ever ueeu wining 10 sutler persecution for tho cause of Christ, and have done all In our power to make this work a success, in ittahllMiliig a cause which we con scientiously believed would bo for the upbuilding' of his kingdom; and we -Oil I believe the Salvation Army is do ing a grand and good work where It is led and conducted upon religious principles. Wo must own, that this corps, witli the present loaders, has Hindu a completo failure. We have licen all summer as "sheep without a shepherd;" but wo thank God that we. the local officers and soldiers of llie corps, do not have to stiller the remorse of consciences on account of It, for we have done all within our power to make this work a succshs, and now we leave tho rest In the hands of tho Lord.

Russell Kills Ills Son-la-Law Aud Say lie Is til ad ot It. Joseph N Russell, an old settler on the Coqullle river, Coos county, near Randolph, shot and killed his son-in-law, Andrew Carlson a day or two ago without apparent provocation. Rus sell is a republican in politics aud hi son-in-law Is a populist. Carlson was a widower, aud he nnd his four children were stopping with his grandparents. He hud niurntd from town w ith a load of provisions on tho fatal day, and just prior to the shooting had carrlvd an armful of wood luto the house and had seated himself by one of his daughters. A moment after Cailsotl sat down the report of a rillo lu an adjoining room was heard, and Carlson fell oil' his chair to the tloor. At llie sound made, by the gun, Mrs Russell ran into the house and found Per son-in-law prostrate and his brains sputtered all over the tloor. The face of one of her grand daughters was bleeding from tlio bullet that had killed her father and grazed her face. Mrs Russell next entered the btdr.smi where she found her husband w ith a smoking ritle iu his hands, whl h I 0 gave up. Russell evidently stood on the bed w hen he fired. The edges of the board on each side of llie crack through which he fired, show pow der marks. Tho bullet took illcct ladiiiul ami alsive Carlson's left ear, passed through the head aud cams out below the right eye producing Instant death. Russell made no attempt to escape, and yield ed to arrest without protest, saying to theoilieers that he did a good deed rir his country and was willing to be hanged right nil for It. Russell was held without bail, it is Intimated that he has Iscn growing crazy of lute, although he appeared to lie clear headed. THIRTEEN CENTS FOR 11018. Much a Price Was Offered lu Salem lesitrday.
