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

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.

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.

Not True. 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.

til a way which was a disgrace to any

an individual called Kelsey, who was

hart is a perfect gentleman ann is re

our motives and efforts were pure.

Hindu a completo failure. We have

of the IS01 flood as follows: "The water
course, large and small, from which
we have hi ard within the past day or

known. Tho Willametto river has
been over six feet higher than the
the oldest settler has ever seen It be
fore." The paper goes 011 to say that
it ceased rising about 11 o'clock the
previous night, and had fallen about
six inclm. The loss of property In
Albany was great, amounting to not
short of $.10,000.

KILLED AN ANARCHIST.
Joseph N. 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.

Self Denial Week.
Tho Salvation Army Is all alive and
actively engaged In preparing lor its
annual Self Denial Week, which takes
place throughout thu United States
from November 10th to 22d, Inclus
ive.
Large sums of money have Istii
raif.ll iu past years and It Is a wonder
ful testimony to the Army's develop
ment and activity. Each member of
ttie Army, as well as the friends of its
many social Institutions, are asked to
abstain from all luxuries aud iu many
cases officers aud soldiers have actual
ly determined to do without certain
articles of fissl w hich are ordinarily
considered necessary, In order that by
their act of sell denial they may add
financial suppoit to the Army and its
many different branches ol work. The
social operations throughout the
country have been greatly developed
during tho past year. New Food and
Shelters have been opened in New
York, San Francisco, Seattle and Kan
sas City. As a natural consequence,
therefore, the demand upon the
Army's funds have lnereasd, and this
will require still greater effort to raise
a correspondingly Increased amount
during tills siecial Self Denial Week.

has been in the city tho Inst throe
or four months trying to bay wool,
ami also advocating the election of
McKinloy, left the warehouses in
disgust yesterday, after having
spent several hours In an unsuc
cessful attempt to buy a lot of

Tlio T.-M.: In 18G3 Louis Da
vonport, who now resides near Mo
sier, cuiiiu into The Dalles with a
pack train from tho upper country,
having with him a bundle of gold
dust valued at about $20,000. He
sat tlio bundle down while ho
talked with some friends, and when
he went t pick it up again it was
gone. Where it went Mr. Daven
port could never learn. A few days
ago a man named Bernard ap
peared in Tho Dalles and anBerted
that it was one of Mr. Davenport's
mule drivers that stole tlii dust.
The matter will be investigated,
and possibly the mystery of tho
disappearance of the valuable pack
age may yet bo solved.
