Mr. Jess Crandall has been employed

Hood River ia not having trouble in
shipping her berries, notwithstanding
the fact that we so asserted yesterday.
Our informant yesterday was a' Hood
River man and he told us the lorries
were being brought back from the Cas
cades and given away. The high Water
u' ouu xxooa itiver, so this , par
ticular citizen of that charming summer
resort, must have had bis fund of truth
washed away while here. An old
proverb states that "Truth lies at the
bottom of a well." It seems to lie just
as well anywhere in the water. About
400 crates of luscious berries were sent
from the town named to. Portland by
Regulator this morning.
r The Fossil Journal says that in put
ting false floors in the Umatilla house
Col. Sinnott placed the floor on the
backs of salmon which came in through
the windows and volunteered their ser
vices for the purpose, as a fitting return
for all the Col. has done for their
family.
Paying for Dead Horse. 1
Mr. S. B. Adams has had several In
dians at work all day burying a horse.
The animal was decided! v dead, and its
location could easily be determined with
out the aid of one's eyes. It was lying
in the outer enclosure of the Odd
Fellow's cemetery and had evidently
been killed where it was found. . The
carcass was covered with brush and
trash but for what purpose is as much
of a mystery as the killing of the animal.
Mr. Adams tells us it will cost $20 to
bury the deceased, which is four times
what it was worth when alive.
Concerning Collection Day.
A notice was handed in to us yester
day stating that the merchants had
agreed upon the 15th as collection day.
It seems that this was not the under
standing at all, and that most of the
merchants will not collect ; at least such
is the information we receive today.
Since the Umatilla house "floated away",
we have lost confidence in every report,
statement or rumor, and so print the
above for what it is worth ; the very in
definite assertion "They say."
The Weather and River.
At Riparia the Snake fell .9 of a foot
for the twenty-four hours ending at 8
o'clock this morning, and at Umatilla
.7 of a foot. The weather is cool, but
wjvrnier is indicated. At Calgary the
temperature this morning was 42 deg.,
at Helena 46, at Spokane 48, at. Walla
Walla 60 and at Baker City 4o! The
river will continue to fall for at least six
days, even should warm weather set in.
The river here at 4 o'clock stood at 51.09.

Three of a Kind.
It is natural for man to smile, yea
verily ! at times to laugh at the lighter
misfortunes of others, hence it is proper
to put in print the minor woes, of
such as are afflicted with them ; so here
is three of a kind, and a bad kind too.
Andy Osborne made the first break just
after dinner yesterday. In walking over
the staging in the Umatilla house, he
stepped on a board that had retired from
business and when he went back fore
most into four feet of water he was, to
draw it mildly, surprised. Soon after
this our old friend Jack Donohue visited
his building on First street. After see
ing as much mud as he cared to look at
at once, he stepped out of the door on to
the doorstep. Finding this solid he
stepped down on to the submerged side
walk, and as it wasn't there, Jack went
on down into the basement, leaving bis
hat only to mark the spot where he dis
appeared. The third man was Tony
Fisher. He met hia Waterloo at Mr.
Mclnerny's corner, on his way home
after barberizing Ed. Martin. The only
way of getting out of the upper story of
that building ia to comedown the electric
light pole at the corner. That was the
route Fisher took, a fine one for scenery
but not for safety. When he got to the
last iron foot rest, he leaped lightly into
the boat awaiting him. ' As his foot left
the iron the bottom of his trousers leg
wasn't ready, and so held on. As a
mighty fir yielding to the woodman's ax
sweeps grandly to the earth, so. hia head
described a half circle, and with a doll
sickening thud disappeared beneath the
surface of the water. Seeing nothing
further was to be accomplished by hold
ing on, the pants let go sending the feet
down after the head. The only dry spot
on any of the three was on the fellows
that helped pull them out.
A Tedious Trip.
ing and papering required to put the
lower story of the Umatilla in shape.
Jos. T. Peters has lost heavily. Between
First and Second streets is a medley of
rustic, ceiling, dressed stuff, redwood
shingles and rough lumber, all covered
with sediment and ooze. His loss will
probably reach $2500 or $3000. At
Moody's warehouse it is bard to estimate
the damage. ' An immense amount of
wool is in storage, and though it was
moved some of it got wet. This portion
of it has been taken from the sacks and
spread out to dry. August Buchler be
ing above high water kept his brewery
running all the time. The Wasco ware
house came through without loss. It
stands high, and as the water advanced
the big stock of wool was hastily sent to
the upper floors, and the only loss was
the expense of moving. Damage to
sidewalks, building of trestles, loss ot
business and the expense of moving and
of re-painting and re-papering consti
tutes the me'asure of damages for moBt
of the town. '
Here is another high water story
given to tbe.Fossil Journal :
"Rev. Rigby brings word that the
Union Pacific succeeded in bringing
their steamer Harvest Queen up over
the rapids at the Cascades, and are at
last in a position to carry the mail be
tween The Dalles and Portland.

Mrs. A. S. Macalliater and Mr. F.
Peaslee arrived here Tuesday from the
Macallister ranch on the John Day,
bringing with them their mother, Mrs.
Peaslee, who has been seriously ill for
some time. The distance is seventy
two miles, and the trip occupied seven
teen days. Mrs. Macallister first started
with her mother in a buggy, but before
going far found the streams so swollen
as to make the trip dangerous. Coming
up the creek soon after they had left
home they found a cloudburst had oc
curred above them and a vast volume of
water was coming down. Mrs.' Peaslee
was placed on top of a load of wool and
Mrs. Macallister beside her, and thus
the creek was crossed. This was done
at three different crossings. The team
sters brought the ladies buggy team
over, and they came on to Cold Camp.
There they, remained until a covered
hack was sent out to them by Dr. Sid
dail. The trip was an exceedingly tedi
ous one ; first one thing and then an-
otner, but principally washouts, delay-!
ing them. They are at their old home,
corner of Fourth and Laughlin.
Losses by the Flood.
The heaviest losers bv the flood in th
city, are the Union Pacific, Jos. T.
Meters, Sinnott & Fish and Moody's
warehouse. The Union Pacifio has lost
heavily in damage to the shops and
machinery, and among other items, a
hundred or more tons of wheat left near
the Wasco warehouse. Sinnott & Fish
lose not only by the expense they have
been put to to keep their business run
ning, but in the great amount of paint-
Cleaning Up.
The scraper and the scrubbing brush,
broom and shovel, hose and hydrant,
and every other article or combination
that will remove dirt, ara being vigor
ously used in getting buildings again in
condition to occupy. ,The flood has
been strictly impartial in distributing
its favors, and each and every house in
the flooded district ' received its full
share of what is called, in the poetic
language of '49, slumgullion. This
word will require no explanation for
such of our readers as are engaged in
wrestling with the stuff, and those who
desire to understand its exact meaning
can get the desired information by help
ing their neighbors who have been in
the swim.
A Trick: of the Storm.
That Sherar cloud-bust cut some very
queer capers. The latest story concern
ing it is that a teamster had just fed hia
horses, before the storm commenced,
using nose bags for the purpose. As the
rain began to fall he took shelter a short
distance away. The rain came in tor
rents and in a few moments he saw his
four horses begin to struggle. Two of
them managed to get their nose bags off,
but the others could not do so and soon
fell. Running to them, be found the
nose bage had become filled with water,
and that his horses were drowning.
Had the owner not been where he could
watch them, they would have drowned
without being in the water.
