The recent high water, which lacked about two and one-half feet of ago, reached its crest on the island just five days previous to the date of flood crest in 1923. Radio reports from the upper Willamette valley giving f the ra pidity in which the water had started rising per hour showed the " trend of the flood which covered most of the island. Elec tric service and telephone ser vice were soon disrupted. With no electricity and with water filling the basements, many of the housewives turned from their modern equipped kitchens to the fireplaces for means of cook ing and heating. , Many families who were living on lower elevations had to move all of their household effects up stairs and in some cases abandon ed their homes completely for a day or two. Among those taken out by motor boat were the Gor don Hill family, who reside at the Schindler Brothers farm and the Raymond Palmer family located at the lower end of the island. In both families children were ill with the measles. Moving of the livestock to high er elevations is usually the alrgest task at such a time. By permis sion of the county judges from both Marion and Yamhill counties the inter-county Wheatland ferry was used to move over 200 head of cattle, valued at $25,000, and owned by U. S. Alderman. Be tween 80 and 90 head of stock was cared for in the large barn left on the Frank Finn i cum farm. Ih a two-story building 20 feet by 30 feet on the Charles Fergu son farm 50 head of stock belong ing to Charles Sargeant was kept safe from the rushing water, which lacked only a little from coming in on the first floor. Elwyn W. Mandigo, owner and operator of the Grand Island Sand and Gravel company prob ably suffered the heaviest losses of anyone in the district when the current tipped over his barn, Mrs. Keiser Released From Salem Hospital GATES Mrs. Harry Keiser was able to return to hep home at Gates this, week after being confined to the Deaconess hospi tal for a month. Sherman Ball underwent medi cal treatment for a badly crushed hand Thursday while employed at the Mt. Jefferson logging camp. Cpl. Dan Sellard of Fort Stev ens spent Thursday witn his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Collins. WHAT START THE RIGHT smoKing Che,terfi.W OVBiy . It mora with nSO Victory Tunis being as high as the one 20 years drowning the five cows within. Machinery was injured at the Mandigo farm and some 6000 yards of gravel was washed away. Other stock lost in the flood included two horses ; be longing to George Asher, several small hogs at the C. A. Rock hill farm, 30 hens belonging to Fred Finnicum a n d a large group of brooder chicks owned by William Umbanhour. Several buildings and some out side property was washed away and also some-hay was lost. Prac tically every -farmer in the dis trict will have a siege of re-building fences when the water i re cedes. Although there have been sev eral cases of measles among the children in the district during the flood, so far there has been no sickness develop due to the flood conditions and no loss of life. In many respects , the present flood greatly resembled the one of 1923. Due to this fact that the older residents of the community have accumulated much in the line of machinery and livestock during the past 20 years, the in jury to machinery and loss of livestock probably mounted high er this time than in 1923.
