The damage to private property on the north side of the river did not near reach the proportions accredited it Is doubtful whethor It would havo been adequate to the task had It not clogged up,. and the water rose north of the railroad until it flowed over the during the excitement.

The animal was ! and taken Into the barn tlon reduced. outlay to effect repairs wll be slight. but considerable work in the shape of odd jobs of cleaning streets and yards nnd removing debris must be done to put several properties on the same footing that they were before Sunday. Nearly all the damage was to prop erty which lay in the track of the water which rushed down the can yon which originally crossed Jackson street about where It is now crossed by Bush street. The canyon north of Jackson street had been gradually filled in and made into pleasant and fertile gardens and yards. The first property to be affected was James Brink's lots. His fencing was torn down and swept away and a mass of silt, gravel and boulders. some of the latter weighing 200 1 pounds or more, now covers nearly all the space not occupied by the house, which stood on higher ground. Next came the Jackson property, now owned by F. W. Schmidt. The onrush of boulder and trash did not reach his lots, but stopped on the Brink property. But when the storm was over the west half of the lot was covered with a Led of slit from an inch to a foot and a half in depth. Besides the necessary destruction to the sod. shrubbery and grass, there was no especial damage to the prop erty excqpt 'o fill the collar with water. Adjoining the Schmidt property on the west Is William Moore's residence and lots. Except to fill the cellar with water and wash away the fence and load down the lots with sediment, there was no damage done. More Slight Damages. It will cost W. M. Slusher about ?25 to replace some fencing taken out clean up his lawn, over which or three hundred yards, the grade act ing as a dam. Reports Exaggerated. Contrary to the report of the dam age done to the place known as the "Gillette place," four miles south of Pendleton, owned by Mrs. McComas, the entire amount of damage done Is covered by four or five acres of wheat being washed out Instead of 400 acres being destrowed, as was stated by the Spakesmari-Revlew. No perma mont damage is done to the ground, but this year's crop over an area of from four to five acres is washed out. No damage whatever was done to the Purl Bowman place, adjoining -Mrs. McComas' place, although the same source of "Information" said that nearly the entire farm was In ruins. Light Home Carried Away. The farm owned by the Light brothers, F. P. Howard nnd Floyd, ou Spring Hollow creek, was swept by the flood Sunday. The dwelling was carried 300 yards and not materially Injured. The machine shed and prac aically all its contents was carried away and completely broken up. The wife of the brother who lives on the place, with her baby, had a narrow escape from the flood, fleeing some distance before the rising waters which nearly overtook them. The Light place Is eight miles from town. Son is Born. A 12-pound son was born to the wife of C. L. Hastings, In this city this morning. The body of Levi Z. Leiter, to checkmate kidnappers, was burled in the center of a mass of iron girders and cement weighing five tons. Weather Report Following is the report of tempera ture for the week ending Saturday.

Frank Nacel and J. F. Robinson sustained slight damages, mostly their lawns, which with the adjacent walks across the lots and along the side of the street, were covered with silt and trash. Twenty feet of the grading beneath the two switch tracks adjacent Fred alters flouring mills was taken out, the water from the hills to the north taking an unexpected course to the river. Just how the water came to be deflected to effect this Is not clear, but the fact remains that 20 feet of both tracks is suspend ed over the channel which the water tore through an embankment which bad no opening at all prior to the rain Sunday. Seth Richardson, who lives near Walter's mill, had some ground cover ed up, with an even chance that It is benefited by the change, less the crop for this year destroyed. Twenty-five or 30 feet of the foun datlon wall of the new Matlock build Ing on South Main street, caved into the cellar on the side next to the street .and adjacent to the furniture store. Roads Impassable. H. H. Gilbert was In town today from Pilot Rock. He reports that the new bridge in Jack canyon, on West Birch creek, above Pilot Rock, was taken out by the high waters follow ing the rain of Sunday last. On the road which follows the gen oral course down East Birch creek, there are in places from six to eight feet of gravel and boulders and the highway is impassable except for men on foot and loose animals for many miles. Below every side canyon, at the nrst open 'pace where an eddy could lorm, the accumulation of boul ders and trash Is almost incredible. On Little. McKay creek, southeast of Pilot Rock, the flood lifted the dwelling belonging to Frank Michael and carried it some distance without either upsetting it or tearing it to pieces. Mrs. Michael fled from the house before It left the ground, and while crossing a branch of the creek on a foot bridge, the bridge gave way ana sne was thrown into the water. she struck a projecting embankment Deiore the current took her Into the main stream, and succeeded in cet ting out, but had a very close call for herllfe. A farmer on Little McKay named Byers lost a barn by being waahed away and torn to pieces by the flood. At Pilot Rock a "nice rain" fell, and from that place to Pendleton the dam age to roads and property Is very slight along the principal highway. Gardens and Ditches Damaged. Both mill races were so badly cloc- ged with silt and debris washed in from the nearby high ground as to be thrown entirely out of commission until they can be cleaned out. In one place between the foot of Event' and Post street, the race was practi cally filled from bank to bank, at a point where it is 12 feet deep, and it Is clogged generally for half a mile aoove the loot. The water has been turned off and men and teams are at work removing the dirt, Tho Walters race was considerably filled from the Main street bridge clear to tho mill, but not so badly as the other race, and it will be open and the water turno don In a very few days. Two miles below town a cook house and tho wagon upon which It stood, belonging to the Olmsteads, was car ried by the flood, which came down from the hills north of the Olmstead place Sunday, a quarter of a mile bo- I 15. tr A 6 !

The man who runs the race of life when his digestive and nu tritive organs are diseased is equally handicapped. In the one case his strength is over weighted, in the other it is under mined.
