South Santiam River Area
Damaged by Flood Waters
Albany, May .8 Damage seldom before Inflicted in so short a
time by the South Santiam river was revealed as its flood waters
receded from an 18.4 foot crest Tuesday, leaving some of the
best farms in Oregon seamed with gulleys that had only last
week been lush farm land sown to crops.
A survey of the area by
County Extension Agent O. E.
Mikesell Tuesday disclosed that
damage from washing out of
sped, mint and other plantings
alone will mount into many
thousands of dollars, and that
damage to the land is inestima
ble. Although a similarly severe
flood occurred last winter it
lacked much of causing so much
damaget farmers in the area
said, mainly because the sur
face of the ground was packed
and grasses and stubble helped
lo minimize erosion, but the
flood of last week-end over
spread land that had been fresh
ly tilled, carrying off thousands
of tons of topsoil.
Appeals from land owners
brought a corps of U.S. army
engineers to the scene Tuesday
and' they immediately started a
survey preliminary to the rec
ommendation of remedial meas
ures. Most severely affected were
the farms lying along the east
bank of the river below San
derson's bridge, which spans
the South Santiam near Crab
tree. At one point,' where the riv
er skirts the Elmer Vandlver
farm, the river noW turns
abruptly at almost a right an
gle. At that location the stream
overflowed upon farm land be
low, threatening to cut a new
channel across land that hith
erto had been spared major da
mage. If this washing is repeated,
residents fear, it will wipe out
several entire sections of farm
land as the stream carves out a
new course, sending the South
Santiam across the area be
tween its present channel and
the Renner station district
northeast of Knox Butte.
Should this occur, it was
pointed out. many of the finest
homes and most productive
farms in the state would be car
ried down stream.
Farmers blame the revetment
that was constructed in 1945
above' Sanderson's bridge for
the new incursions of the river.
This bulkhead, they complain,
has diverted the channel to the
eastward, which would account
for Its recent inroads on the
farms below.
The Santiam had returned to
its channel Wednesday and
farmers were attempting to re
pair the damage by healing land
scars with fills preparatory to
replanting, but they expressed
fear that crops planted now may
not mature.
Otherwise flood conditions
throughout the county were re-

On Tax Demands
Portland, ' May 5 Cham
ber of Commerce directors have
relented on demands that the
city council throw out its new
high fee schedule. But they
want levies on net business re

pealed. The board also asked the city
commis s i o n e r s yesterday to
pare the new budget to keep an
anticipated deficit under $1,
000,000. Meanwhile, the Oregonian
suggested editorially that if the
city doubled its water charges
it would gain $2,000,000 annu
