Western Oregon About Counted
and the Eastern Coming In.
CLORIOUS REPUBLICAN VICTORY
Great Majority Over All for Lord in
Multnomah, with Majorities and
Pluralities Elsewhere.
Several of the counties of Western
Oregon completed their count yesterday,
affording, with a few estimates not
likely to be far wrong, a pretty good
Idea of the general result so far as they
are concerned. What progress was made
In Eastern Oregon Is still a matter of
some doubt, except as to Umatilla, the
wires working badly. From the In
crease appearing In counties reporting
It seems probable that the prohibition
strength and the missing preclr ts will
bring the total vote up to 82,000 .r more.
The Incomplete status In Multnomah
county prevents any certainty os to
state pluralities, the Indications beir.
that Lord's plurality over Pierce will be
In the neighborhood, as previously estl
mated, of 15,000. Returns are remark
ably Incomplete on the vote for state
school superintendent, many places, as
In Multnomah county, having appar
ently made no effort to tabulate this
vote. At the present showing Irwin
cannot have less than 10,000 plurality
ovir Reld, and Ihe Eastern Oregon
counties, of which practically nothing Is
known, ought to materially Increase this
lead.
The vote of the first congressional dis
trict, aa returned and estimated, will be
somewhat larger than was first sup
posed, and will probably Increase Her
mann's plurality. In the second district
nearly everything Is conjecture. Colum
bia county la the only one with complete
returns, Umatilla being nearly so. The
vote of Mulnomah county on congress
man Is given for Its supposed 16,000
votes In the projjortlons obtaining In
the 11,000 counted. In default of reports
from many Eastern Oregon countleB,
the figures on congressman may have to
be revised considerably, -as Ellis Is not
given credit for the gains he should
make over the vote for Harrison, In 1892,
upon which the computations are based.
The report of Cameron's (Rep.) de
feat In Jackson Is confirmed.
For the lower house, M. Davidson,
Pop., Is returned by the completed count
from Columbia county, Instead of Clee-
ton, Rep. This change Is offset by the
eleotlon In Jackson county of George
Dunn, Rep., who was reported Tuesday
as defeated by Marksbury, Pop.
According to the official returns, sup
plemented by the most reliable esti
mates, the counties of Baker, Coos,
Jackson, Lake and Wallowa gave small
pluralities for Pierce, and the counties
of Crook and Harney small plurali
ties for Galloway. The remaining
counties of the state all went for Lord,
with majorities over both Pierce and
Galloway in Multnomah of 4,239, Marion
C79, Washington 328, small majorities In
Columbia, Klamath, Sherman and Was
co, and varying pluralities In the other
counties. In the first congressional dis
trict Hermann has a plurality over
Weatherford of 10,557 and over Miller of
682. In the. .tfynnit ill strict Ellis' plur-

THE EFFECT IN WASHINGTON.
A dispatch In yesterday's Oregonlan
from Washington, D. C, says: Full
knowledge of the Republican victory In
Oregon was notobtalned until today,
and has been the theme of discussion all
over the capitol. Senator Aldrlch read
the press dispatch giving the facts of
the victory. Dolph stated that the Dem
ocrats made such a showing In the sen
ate by the fact that seven of them were
holdovers. There was general rejoicing
on the Republican side. Dolph was
warmly congratulated. The Democratic
senators sat silent and disgusted. Ore
gon men everywhere were congratulated
that the state has repudiated Populism.
Even Democrats express some satisfac
tion In that. Last night Hermann at
tended a big Republican meeting In
Baltimore, and when he was called to
speak cheer after cheer was given for
Oregon and for Hermann and Ellis, the

THE COUNTY VOTE.
G.
Wingato Loads the Ticket, With
' Judge Gray a Good Second.
The following are tha corrected offi
cial election returns for Clatsop county.
A careful analysis of the vote will show
a good safe Republican majority In the
county. G. WIngate, candidate for the
state board of equalization, leads the
ticket with 1,431 votes, to 724 for his op.
ponent. Following him are Judge Gray,
Richard Harry, C. J. Curtis, James W,
Halre and F. I. Dunbar, in their respec
tive order. Under all the circumstances
It is a great victory for the Republican
party, and puts Clatsop In the line of
solid Republican counties:

REPORTS FROM FRASER RIVER
The Greatest Flood Since the Year
1876--Innneiise Damage at
Many Points.
The greatest of all Columbia's floods
attained Its maximum, height at mid
night. Such was the opinion of Weath
er Observer Pague, who has watched It
closely during the past two weeks. The
rise of Tuesday night was but three-
tenths of a foot, bringing it, at 7 a. m.,
to the 32.8 mark. Up to & late hour lust
night the 33-foot mark was still a little
above the water line. It Is the topmost
notch marked on the government gauge
at the foot of Stark street, and It looks
very much as If it will be the highest
notch reached. Observer Pague does not
say positively that the maximum point
has been reached, but that it Is hardly
pivbable tha 33-foot mark will pe
passed. His .oplnlons'are based on the
fact that the Upper Columbia and Wil
lamette are falling quite rapidly, and
cool weather prevails In regions where
Hoods originate. The morning gauge
reading at Umatilla, taken at 11 o'clock,
was 34.3 feet, showing a fall of .2 dur
ing the preceding 24 hours. On the
Snake river, at Rlixuio, a fall of 20
Inches was recorded.
The readings on the Upper Wullum-
ttte at 9 a. m. yesterday were: Albany,
9.9 feet, and alem 9.6 feet, Indicating a
fall of .7 at the former place and .4 at
the latter. Cool weather prevails at
points up the valley, and there Is no
prospecb of higher water at present.
It was on May 28, about 10 days ago,
that the weather bureau first called the
attention of the public to the fact that
high water might be expected. The
river then stood at 25 feet above the
low water mark. While a rapid rise was
anticipated, the official observer did not
think that the outlook was at all alarm
Ing. Then came an unexpected term of
hot weather, which lasted three days
and turned' every mountain stream Into
a torrent. The Columbia and Its tribu
taries rose rapidly, until May 31 the
river at this pol)MUreaJQheil.a. height of
28.7 feet, the highest on record. Dur
ing the past ewek the Willamette has
been steadily rising, until the entire
wholesale and nine-tenths of tha retail
districts are submerged, and the water
stands from 2 to 6 feet deep on Wash
ington, Morrison and Third streets. As
the flood now stands It Is 4.7 feet higher
than the notable flood of 1876, and 4.3
feet higher than that of 1890, which was
considered the highest on record. Yes
terday's Oregonlan.
UNION PACIFIC DAMAGES.
Three Months Will Be Required to Re
build and Repair the Track.
It has been estimated by railroad men
at Tacoma that the damage done by
floods throughout the northwest will be
In the neighborhood of 15,000,000. Supt.
Baxter, of the Union Pacific's Pacific di
vision, is quoted as saying that It
would take 90 days to rebuild the 60
miles of track washed out! between
Troutdole and The Dalles. It Is thought
It will take the Great Northern and
Canadian Padflo a month or so to fully
repair their 'tracks anil the Northern
Pacific nearly as long.
Supt. Bancroft, of the mountain divi
sion of the Union Pacific road, returned
to Salt Lake June 6 from the flooded
regions along the Snake and Columbia
rivers In Idaho, Wanhlngton and Ore
gon. He reports that the damnge Is
simply Incalculable. The water cannot
be controlled and will continue to rise
for some days, as there Is an Immense
amount of snow In the mountains and
at the heads of the tributaries to the
rivers named.
THE FRASER RIVER.
Tremendous Damage to the Canadian
Pacific.
Reports received at Vancouver B. C,
on June , from Fraser river points,
say the waters are receding. At West
minster the Fraser is still rising, owing
protxably to prevailing very high tides.
Since yesterday the flood had risen an
Highest of all in Leavening Power. -Latest U. S. Gov't Report
ABsoLUaTEi? puna
Inch In Westminster. The current was
6.43 miles per hour, the swiftest ever
known at that point. The swamp dis
trict!, where all the mills are, Is com
pletely under water. The fires under the
boilers at the electric power house were
put out lost night, and a fire engine is
employed pumping, In order to keep the
water below the furnaces. Many now
believe that the farms of the .Fraser
valley have not been so seriously dam
aged as at first supposed, and that the
ranchers will be able to raise crops this
season In the flooded lands. At West
minster the flow of water still covers
the Great Northern along the south side
of the river. In the Canadian Pacific
yards the tracks are over three feet
under water. It Is now believed the
Canadian Pacific Company's loss will
be nearly $1,000,000, The passengers who
were started east by the Canadian Pa
cific Sunday have returned, having been
unable to proceed beyond North Bend,
From points up the river it is reported
the flood Is receding at the rate of an
Inch an hour,
REPAIRING THE DAMAGE.
The people are now bringing their
minds to bear regarding the means by
which the misfortunes of the settlers
may as speedily as possible be repaired.
Publlo works of very great magnitude
in the way of dikes must be begun with
as little delay as possible. The highest
water previously recorded was in the
year 1882, and that record was every
where regarded as the maximum) height
to which 1C was expected, the water
would ever reach. This record having
been obliterated by the experience of
this year, the water having risen from
20 to 18 Inches higher than. In 1882, It Is
manifest that the whole scheme of dik
ing these lands must be built higher by
at least two feets and the extra height
must be strengthened by widening at
least eight feet additional the base of
all the dikes. The general character of
the dikes, too, must be strengthened In
many places by substantial piling, and
possibly In some Instances by masonry""
work. This will Involve, before finally
being completed, an expenditure of
manv hundreds of thousands of rlnlln.ru.
The work to be undertaken Is of suoh
magnitude and lmiortance to the coun
try at large that It becomes a matter of
national concern. The various boards of
trado of the province are at present en-
gaged in drawing up petitions to the
federal government at Ottawa, pointing
out the absolute necessity of a large
and immediate appropriation of funds
for the prosecution of the new diking
scheme.
Methods of communication are in such
a demoralized condition that It Is as yet
Impossible to estimate the loss of life or
damnge to property. A number of
bodies have been recovered, and It in
known that many persons have been
drowned. Victoria, Vancouver and
Nanalmo are the only towns in British
Columbia! not affected by the high
water.
The steamer Skagit Chief has been
chartered by the Canadian Pacific Rail
way Company to go to Ruby creek and
load a cargo of perishable freight and
passengers for Sound ports. All tho
available steamers on the Fraser river
have been pressed Into service by the
government to assist the settlers In the
flooded district. The straits of Juan de
Fuca are full of driftwood brought down
by the freshets, making navigation by
small craft somewhat hazardous.
