Portland, Or, Feb. 7. Never before
was so warm a welcome extended by cit
izens of Portland as epeeted the reappear
ance of terra firma tbis morning. The
gauge at the foot of Stark street shows a
bight of twenty seven feet above low
water, a decline of 18 inches from tbe
extreme bight of the flood. It is falling
at the rate of one inch per hour. .The
business portion of tbe city including
Front, First and all cross streets have
been the scene of great activity. In all
buildings from Morrison to C street tbe
first floors were covered with mud to an
average thickness of half an inch. Hun
dreds of men and boys have been busily
engaged sweeping, scrubbing and scrap
ing in order to get stores and offises in
shape tor tbe transaction of. business.
Sidewalks, crosswalks and wagon ways
leading down to tbe docks and wharves
are torn up in many places and washed
away. From Morrison to Stark streets
all first floors are bare; but from Stark
street to a point midway .between be
tween Oak and Pine streets they are still
inundated. Below Pine street they are
dry again, but tbe street is not visible
till A street is reached, and the flood is
again apparent from D street toG.
The bridges are safe. ' The Morrison
street structure has not admitted vehicles
wing to tbe tact that some ' boards were
torn np by drift wood. The foot passen
ger way, on the south side, is damaged
on tbe west shore. The central ' pier is
in abont as good condition as it was be
fore tbe flood, Tbe docks are all solid
as far as the foundations are concerned,
though soma of the super-structures
are damaged.
None of the steamboats were injured,
and so far as known only the ship Patter
dale has suffered in the least. . .
No damage has been reported to rqer.
chandise among either Front or First
street stores except Bernheim 4 Manner,
who will lose about forty barrels of sugar.
Tbe loss of business and the labor of
raising or removing stock, of course, will
figure among losses. - Not one of tbe
First street bouses was able tbis morn
ing to state what tbey will be out by
reason of .the flood ; but doubtless the
sum will average not over $100 o each
firm. All day loDg drays and express
wagons have been hauling stock from .
warehouses' back to the stores from which
It was taken during the rise.
In many places on - Front street the
pavement has lost its foundation and
consequently numerous depressions are
found. One large one caused a, man to
get ducked at tbe corner of Parke &
Lacj's on Front street. The bole is large
enough to let a wagon through.
No drift wood has come down tbe
river to dav.
About 10 o'clock this morning a man
came riding down the river in the middle
of the stream tting astride 4 log. He
went nnder the first bridge, but nobody
went out to him. . When last seen be was
sailing past the . mills below tbe city.
Where he came from no one knows. He
was bareheaded and wore no coat. ' -
A dispatch from Oregon City this noon
stated that early this morning a stranger
was drowned tbeie. His nffme could not
be learned. He was helping some tele
graph linemen. When the report first
came it stated, that two Western Union
men were lost; bat soon afterward it was
contradicted.
Tbe Telegram contains . no dispatches
this afternoon on account of great rush
ot business which has completely flooded
telegraph offices since eastern wires were
secured. ' . " .
The Western Union have secceeded in
getting a line as far north as Riddles, and
by six o'clock will reach San Francisco
direct. Tbey now handle San Francisco
business by way of Helena.' ;
Tbe damage done ' on the east side to
wharf owners, lumber men and others
are more serious end may amount to
thirty - thousand dollars. '. . Johnson's
wharf, which cost $10,000, collapsed
to-day,

SLAIN BY THE SNOW.
Spokane Falls, Feb. 6. The town of
Burke, Idaho, in tbe Cceur d'Alene min
ing district, has been destroyed by a dis
astrous avalanche. Halt of tbe business
houses are in- ruins. Tuesday morning,
with scarcely a moment's warning, a tre
mendeous mass of snow and rocks swept
on the town. Five men were buried be
neath the snow. Two were rescued, but
the others are, dead and their bodies have
not been recovered.
ihe ill-fated town lies in a narrow
gulch through which Cabyon creek pours
its waters wlo tbesoutb fork ot tbe (Joeur-
d'Alene. It bad about 200 inhabitants.
who have deserted their wrecked or men
aced bomes and places of business. -
Yesterday another avalanche swept
down upon the boarding house connected
with tbe Uuster mine, which is situated
on Ni-e Mile creek, about five miles from
Burke. The boarding house was full of
miners, six of whom were killed. - The
others had a narrow escape, and a number
were more or less injured.
I be snowfall tbis winter has been un
precedented in the history of tbe country.
Within the last few days it has been rain-
ins hard, which bas bad tbe effect of
loosening tbe: snowbanks and precipitat
ing them upon the towns and houses be
low.
Later. A special dispatch from Wal
lace. Idaho, gives tbe following addition
al particulars of the terrible avalanches
in the Coeur d'Alene mining district: Re
ports sent eut from Coeur d'Alene City of
.terrible accident at the Custer mine
were not exaggerated iu tbe least. The
snowslide occured at 6 o'clock in the even
ing, while eighteen men were eating
dinner in a boarding house connected
with the mine. The slide started at the
top of tbe mountains, about 300 feel
above tbe boarding bouse, and leveled
every tree to the bottom of tbe gulch.
The boarding house was ground into
splinters, frix of the occuDants being kill
ed outright and as many more seriously
wounded.
Four men were buried in a slide id
Canyon creek gulch. Two of them were
rescued alive, but tbe others perished.
I be slides at .burke are moro serious
than reported. Two buildings containing
families were struck and carried clear
across the gulch, but no one was killed.
Severel other unoccupied houses were
wrecked, and most of the inhabitants of
the town moved further up the gulch.
where there is no danger from slides.
About a mile and a half below town a
big slide occured and struck a rsilaoad
camp, killing three men, whose names
could not be learned.
' This side of Wallace, near the Argentine
mine, a slide occurred which put the Cceur
d'Alene narrow guage and Washington
& Idaho railroad tracks under seventv-
five feet of snow.
At Mullan sevetal slides occurred. No
loss of life is reported, but the damage to
property is great.
At. Wardncr the Emma and "Last
Chance mine tramways were carried away,
the blacksmith shop destroyed and several
other buildings wrecked, but with no loss
of life.
NINE SAANICB INDIANS DROWNED.
Victoria, Feb. 6. Sepita?, ohlct of
tbe Saanich Indians, and four other In
dians, left Mud bay to cross over the suit
of Georgia to Vancouver island on Tues
day, the 30th of January. Lost night

vailed for some time past.

San Francisco, Feb. 8 Railroad
officials here say it is possible that pass
enger and light freight traffic will be re
sumed Monday, between Redding and
Dunsmuir, sixty unles farther nortP, by
transferring at tunnel 9, and that ' ouiit.
munication wjll be . re established with
Portland by the middle of next week, by I
making one or two additional translers.'
As soon as tbe worst of the work south of
Ashland is done, large forces of men will
be transferred to toe Oregon division.
Railroad weather reports from south
and north of . Reddins show that it is
clear and pleaiant there to-day. Slides
have ceased to cover tbe track, anq will
probably not occqr as fast as removed, as
has been tbe case for tbe past two or three
weeks. It is understood here that the
railroads are generally demoralized in
Oregon, and that tbe Southern Pacific's
line is not the only one that is in trouble.
Redding, Cal Feb. 8. Railroad
communication could be bad by rail to
Hornbrook, 135 miles north of here, but
for a cave in tunnel 9, near Gibson's
switch. It' will now take two weeks'
time to fix the tunnel, where the mountain
is - seemingly bottom side np. - The
weather is delightful. Yesterday it was
thought trains might move north within
two or three days. ' : r.
HILLY FORTUOUBSp STILL HIS8r$q.
Lisbon, Feb. 8. Andreode Corvo,
member of the council of state, bas sent a
challenge to Glynn Petre, British minister.
Owing to tbe nature of his reply, manifes
tations of students and demonstrations in
commercial and social organisations
against-the English have become genaral.
Tbe municipal authorities of Oporto
have decided to subscribe to a fund for
national defense.- English" members of
the social club whose house was attacked
by students yesterday because tbe club
permitted Englishmen to retain their
membership have resigned..
A. commercial association here has ex
pelled English members because tbey
furnished a statement to newspapers in
London complaining of their treatment.
THE "TIMES" CAYES IN. - .
London, Feb. 8. Tbe trial in tbe libel
suit brought by Parneli against the2Ymf
was to have begun Monday, but when tbe
case was called counsel announced that
the suit bad been compromised, tho Timet
paying Parneli 5000 damages. '
The withdrawal was also announced of
the action brought Uy Henry Campbell,
Parnell's private secretary, against the
Timet for damages for statements affect
ing Campbell made by Attorney-General
Webster, counsel for the Timet, in bis
opening speech in the case of O'Ponneli
against Walter proprieter of the "Timet,
and for charges made against the plain
tiff, in au editorial published by tbe Timet
in 1883.. .
. 8EORRTA8T TRACT'! MIND WEAK.
Washington, Feb. 8. It bad been
arranged that Secretary Tracy would
FEBRUARY 15, 1890.
take a trip over as far as salt water to
day on the Dispatch, accompanied by his
son, irauk Iracy, and several friends,
but owing to the inclemency of tbe
weather tbe proposed trip was abandoned
While the secretary continues to improve
physically, the effect on bis mind of the
shock he recently underwent is becoming
more pronounced, and he would undoubt
edly be greatly benefited by such a trip
as the one proposed. Should the weather
prove propitious, the trip will probably
be made next month. Mrs. Wilnierding
aud daughter are making rapid progress
toward recovery from their injuries.
Tbis morning Mr. Tracy sent for Chief
flams, Howard Wright, private of en
gine o, and Policeman Cultell, and talked
over with them tbe whole story of the fire,
bearing it with wonderful fortitude until
his daughter was mentioned, when be
broke down, but soon rallied, and as they
departed Mr. Tracy said: ''Gentlemen,
i owe you a debt 1 can never pay."
Experts have determined almost be
yond doubt that Secretary Tracy's bouse
was fired by superheated Bteaia pipes.
THE CASE OF MERCHANT LEWITH.
Tacoma, Eeb. 8 The case of J. L. Le-
witb, held for trial on a charge of arson,
was taken before the superior court tbis
afternoon. Judge Allyn refused to re
duce the bail of $8000 unless after another
effort very nearly that amount can be se
cured, with good bondsmen. Judge
Allyn refused to order that the prisoner
De allowed to go in tbe custody ot an
officer to try and secure bail, and to ac
company his attorneys to tbe scene of
fire. Sheriff Price was informed by the
court that he could allow the prisoner to
remain out of jail in the custody of one
or more responsible officers if he chooses,
providing that Lewith will bear the ex
penses of tbe officers. His attorney stated
that he could not live long in jail."
FROH1BITIONSTS NEVER SATISFIED.
Pierre, S. D., Feb. 8. The legisla
ture passed a prohibition bill yester
day. While the prohibition folks feel
jubilant, they regret the fact that two
important, features of the bill have been
stricken out, viz: Requiring physicians
to state the nature of the complaint
liquors are required for in making out
perscriptions; and giving the authorities
the right to search priyate dwellings for
liquor.
