&ALEM, reb. 4. Ihe volume of
water in the ViUamette river now
is probably a lacge as it was at its
highest m IbolTie river standing
since 3 o'ock ir nearly forty feet
above lw.v'Tiial
mi . .
Tha most; iastrous result o'
the Drfesen jod: so far &b 8a!em
is ooncedrWhe washing out of

The south one of the center piers
on the Marion couotv 6ide swung
aiouud, apparently in u the bot
tom, beet and cracked just above
the water line and crashed to the
bottom of the river, followed by
the two main spans of the big
bridge. Ihe crash was awful
Water was thrown high in the air.
and in a few seconds the better
part of that costly structure was
floating down with the stream.
The booming of the falling bridge
was plainly heard all over town,
and soon hundreds were standing
on the bank viewing the ruins.
, Your correspondent was looking
at the south pier when it fell, and
be had seen two men on the bridge
a second before. They bad heard
the timbers cracking, and just as
they stepped from the last span
coming to this side it fell behind
them. Had they been one step
later in leaving it they would have
been earned down to immediate
destruction. The ones who thus
miraculously escaped were Bill
t j
iinamoers ana a young ietiow
named L. Goolsby. The north
pier stood a nan nour, 6waying
from the mighty pressure below,
and then toppled over with
mighty noise.
All the akernr.on the lntne an
proach on the west was cracking
and giving away in places. Drift
wood catij ht on it and the pressure
was so great bv o o clock that
too gave away and fell with a roar,
This left nothing but the west span
standing, it was 'M) leet long
and was supported by two piers at
either end. It stood the strain
until midnight yesterday, when
the iron and concrete piers gave
way beneath it and it too was pre
ciptated into the waters beneath.

THE SPRINGFIELD BRIDGE GONE.
Ei gene, Feb. 4. The river has
been falling again. Since noon it
has fallen G inches and it is thought
will continue to fall. The raise
last night and this morning was
unexpected. The Springfield wagon
bridge, four miles aboe this city,
passed here at 7:30 this morning.
The loss is $15,000. A report is
abroad that the Pleasant Hill
bridge on Coast Fork is also gone,
but it is not authentic. Tiie water
got to 22 feet and one inch. The
water here was two inches above
that of 1881. Several small houses
passed here, but it-is not known
where they came from. Four fam
ilies were rescued by Luckey & Mc
Clauahan four mileB north of here
in a drowning condition. No lives
have been lost, however, as far as
heard from.-. Friday night's south
bound' passenger train has, .been
ly ing At.Ofiswell and will proba
bly return here Wednesday. The
track is badly washed oat between
here and Irving. In Eugene the
water has done no damage, only to
float walks, the water being 4 feet
lower than in 1861.
FROM OREOON CITY.
Oregon City, Feb. 4. George
Brougliton's saw-mill and box fac
tory, owing to its age and insecure
foundation, was swept away about
four o'clock this morning. The
warehouse of the Excelsior mills,
a light structure - suspended on
stilts, also broke leose from its
foundation and floated off about 7
p. m. There are about 30 houses
and barns afloat in the Clackamas
bottom. The Clackamas county
bridge went out at 12:55 to-day.
The railroad bridge is Bfc'll stand
ing, but is in great danger if the
water 'continues to raise: The
water in Main street is from ten
inches in front of the postoflice to
about four leet deep down by the
factory. All the bre; kwater above
where Brighton's mill stood is
gone. The steamer Three Sisters
is in the basin and aiade fast to
the railroad and to trees on the
hillside, and is in danger whether
the basin breaks through or not.
The electric light plant and pulp
mills are still safe and have stod
a fearful.tcst. All the email rail
road bridges ate more or less dam
aged. Iho river is raising a very
little.

Satur.iav. ' The trark is in j;ooil
condition from a p'-int jufct noitu of
Harrisburg to Shedd. Between
there and the Calapooia river some
small bridges are gone, but will be
repaired by morning. Word has
been received here from Browns
ville stating that the south span of
the county bridge across the Cala
pooia at that place wen: out at 6 v.
m. yesterday. The Narrow Gauge
tram reached Urownsvule from
Coburg yesterday, but about three
miles north of there met with high
water and washouts and so return
ed to Brownsville, where it is now
ying. Some of tho county bridges
across Muddy Have been badly
damaged. A boat has been oppo

Of late considerable real estate

Lively times are expected here in

new buildings just as soon as the
weather will permit.
A man who has iust arrived
from the river savs a boat is pick

Grave fears are entertained for the
safety of 'some families living on

MASS MEETING AT HALBEV,
Bonn orst.ooo Offered for a
Flourlnc.MUl. .
Halsey, Feb. 4. . mass meet
ing of the citizens of Halsey and
vicinity was held in the school
bouse at this place Saturday last,
which, considering the inclemency
of the weather, was very well at
tended.' The object of the meeting I
was to consider the propriety and
IicaoiuiAiLjr uuviujg a uuuud lull r
building of a merchant flouring!
I mill at this place, and also to con
lider the advisability of construct
rirwv a iratnr ttnn'oi1 fianol fs-im 4Iia
liik nutvt irunti v uuut tivui tuc
McKenzie Kiver near Coburg to
this place and points north of
here.
On motion Caleb Gray was elect
ed chairman of the meeting and F.
S. Field secretary.
After a lengthy discussion of the
ditferent matteis under considera
tion, it was unanimously resolved
to offer a cash bonus of $4,000 to
any party or parties who would
agree to build the most complete
mill for the bonus offered.
A committee of ive, of which T.
J. Black is chairman and F. S.
Fields secretary, was appointed to
receive and answer a.l communica
tions in relation to the matter, and
to give tne necesdary information
in regard to the surrounding conn
tiy and the amount of grain raised
tributary to this place, which is
sufficient assurance that a flouring
mill at tins place under the EUper
vision oi a practical mm man
would be a profitable inverment.
A committee, W. J. Stewart,
J. II. Lame and 1. J. Ulack.was
appointed to ascertain as near as
possible the cost of making a pre
liminary survey of the water canal
with an approximate cost of the
construction of the same, ant' to
reKrt at a meeting to be held here
m Saturday, February 15.
The people of this section appear
to be waking up to their own inter
ests in the way of public improve
ments, and as Halsey is a centrally
located place, surrounded by the
finest giain raising section in the
Willamette Valley, there is . no
reason why our town, with the
prospect of the construction in the
near future of the Cor vail is and
Eastern railroad, which will cross
the Southern Pacific at this point,
and other public enterprises now
contemplated, should not be one of
the most flourishing towns in Ore
gon. Already Halsey has the
credit of supporting one of the best
public schools in the valley, hav
ing last year built a $0,000 school
building.
This place has long been realized
as the largest grain center of any
town in the valley, and with a di
versity of other resources equal to
any. During the past season a
large hay warehouse was construct
ed here, and filled with baled hay,
and so far this season there has
been shipped from this place not
less than one thousand ' tons to
Kints in Eastern Oregon and on
tget Sound.
Disarming an Unseen foe.
"This was sometime a paradox," as
Hamlet says. Since, however, the
people of America and other lands
have been enabled to pit Hostcttcr's
Stomach Bitters against that unseen
foe, malaria, it is no longer a paradox,
but an easy possibility.. Whatever
malaria evolves its misty venom to
joison the air, and decaying unwhole
fcome vegetation impregnater tho
water, there. In the very stronghold
ot miasma, is the auxiliary -otcnt to
d;sarm the foe and assure efficient
projection. Fcycr and ague, bilious
remittent, dumb sguc ana ague cake,
no matter how tenaciously they have
fasienet their clutch on tho system,
ure first forced to relax their grasp
and eventually to abandon it alto
gether. But it lc preventive force
that should chiefly recommend the
Bitters to persons dwelling in malaria
cursed localities, for it is a certain
buckler of defence- against which the
enemy ,s pow ctless. Cures, likewise,
dyspepsia, rheumatism, kidney and
billious ailments.

ELECTRICITY IN WARFARE.
Imoortant Appliances For
The
Army and Navy.
Philadelphia, Jan. 31. Lieu
tenant Bradley A. Fiske, of the
Navv. lectured before the Franklin
Institute on electricity a special
study for several years, and has
given to the Navy the benefit of the
many devices ae nas mventea
These include the instrument
known as the "range-finder," by
which the positions and distances
of objects, movable or immovable,
are determined with remarkable
accurancy, and almost instantane
ously; the apparatus for aiming
great guns, and the apparatus for
mioistins ammunition. He began
his lecture witb a general statement
dj the great advancement that bad
been made in the science ol electric
ity within a few years past, the
direction of its progress, and the
application of electricity in war
ships for lighting and for sub
marine mines or torpedoes. He
alsoexDlained the general work
ings of the Lay, the Sims-Edison
the Ilalpue-Savage, the White
head, and the Howell submarine
torpedoes, and the application of
electricity to them to govern their
movements and velocity, as well as
to discharge tucui.
Lieutenant Fiske's lecture also
embraced the employment of
electricity in the Army for sub
tcrranean mines, for telegraphing
for balloon signalling and balloon
propulsion, aod to illumine the
interior ot guns to inspect tbein.
He explained the workings of his
mter for the training ot neavy
guns, by the use of which a single
individual can train a gun in ant
direction ly moving a small lever
to the right or to the "eft. This
is now in use on the cruisar At
lanta, as is also a motor, devised
and perfected by the speaker, for
hoisting ammunition, liic ad
vantages of the electric search light
- . . i- -
lor snips ana ions ana armies id
action and the uses of them were
detailed at considerate length, and
he explained in a comprehensive
manner its use on board the
Atlanta during a dense fog, and
when the ship was in a dangerous
position in shoal water. By throw
ing a beam of light in different
direction; the 8tem launch, which
was sent out ahead of the vessel,
was enabled to take soundings and
find a straight and deep cutnnal
into safer waters.
The sneaker then directed at
tention to the latest electric instru
ments perfected the object range
and position finder, as applied to
the Chicago, and about to be. put
on the Baltimore. By the use of
telescopes, a galvanometer, and
other electri cal appliances the dis
tance ot an object can be. given
witb greater aecuracy than, by the
old sjktim of triangulations j
sexants and theodolites and: with
greater facility. It also enabled
those in charge oi guns to avoid the
errors of shooting to ihe right or, to
toe leit, or Deveoa or snore oi me
object of attack. Eyjtt jnie also
guns could be trained nodf di
rection of observers, notwithstand
ing the object might be oostructea.
from the view .of the gunners by
the dense " smoke. Lieutenant
Fiske continued that, although
marine propulsion by electricity is
not practicable, except on a small
scale, at present, the time was not
far off when it would be used
largely for motif e . power at sea..
He bad experimented with electric
ity as a motive power for a launch,
with marked success, and he pro
phesied that in the near future the
application of electricity to the
motive power of large ships would
be made.

A Story with a Moral. .
'So you would like a position as
companion to my sister?" said the
handsome young millionaire.
"Yes, please, I would do my best
to please," said the poor, pretty
girl.
"Can you sing?"
"No; I am sorry to say.r
"You play the piano, I suppose?"
"No; I never studied music."
"Ah! probably, then, you paint
crockery, or
"It is needless to continue the
list, sir; I have no accomplish
ments." "Indeed! Why, how have you
passed your time since you left
school?"
"I have been at home helping
mother to cork, wash, sew and keep
house."
'Pardon me for interrupting.
You have suid enough, and"
"ODjdoootsay I will not do.
If accessary I can pick up somo
accomplishments in a reasonable
time, I am sure."
"You will not do as a hired com
panion, because you are entirely to
:ood for the position, but if you
will take half of my fortune and
me with it, I shall consider myself
the luckiest man in the world,
And she took, Philadelphia

at a villa near Kiveli, iu winter in
the Viadel Mills, at Turin, snd is
always accompanied by bis sister,
who adores him. His two sons are
employed in different departments
ot the Italian administration, away
from their father, whom, however,
they visit occasionally. Many
Hungarians live in Turin and in
the winter evenings Louis Kossuth's
drawing-room, which is . full of
patriotic souvenirs, is the scene of
much liveiy conversation, almost
always turniog . on Hungarian
affairs. At eleven o'clock the Gen
eral retires tt bed, rising early ' in
the morning, when bis first - busi
ness is to read all the newspapers,
which are sent to, him in quantities
from hU native country. For
several years be has been busy
writing bis memoirs, but the work
goes on very slowly because the
wnier often allows nimseii. to tail
into reveries, recallg psst times,
and he sometimes remains for hours
thus absorbed without writing a
line and when bis sister comes to
beg blm to rest she fiads the sheet
of paper before him still empty.
And the good old man, with his
white hair and vivacious eyes.
smiles, rises from bis chair, and
taking his sister's arm walks up
and down the room. Chicago
