V. THE DAILY ASTORIAN, ASTORIA, TUKSDAV MOllNhN'O, JVE 20, 1894 'J l I rn m i (Continued from First Page.) electrio light pole for work aa to the Etret-t cleaning department. That tody evidently prefers to give six months' labor to half a dozen of Its political pets (including the political undertaker) rather than divide the work among two hundred men and have it finished In six days. AFTER THE FALL. N iw that the water Is almost off the level of the streets, although, of courff, ftlll up to tho underpinning of most f-ldewulks and the tops of cellars, the real havoc wrought by tli&flojil is more perceptible than It was when I sailed over the place a couple of weeks ago in a boat. And that which has been re vealed by the subsidence of the river is a great deal worse than anything that has before been pictured. On Oak street, between First and Second, the office of the Turner Flouring Mills Co., and the place whore formerly the business of the ill-fated Haytien Republic was transacted, Is literally thrown upside down. Large ledgers and cash books turned green and bent double He on the floor, while whole masses of correspon dence, receipted bills, old accounts, let ter presses, and files lie saturated and destroyed all over the shelves and coun ters. The office of Horatio Cook, the un dertaker, opposite, is likewise In a de plorable condition, while the building of the Philadelphia steam dye works, next door, not only haa all its contents ruin ed, but Is itself tumbled rlht away from the street level and lies consid erably out of plumb. The next place ff Interest Is the warehouse of the Good year Rubber Co., with dozens of cases of goods rotting to pieces. The oflice of J. W. Cook, the well-known cannery man, has been completely flooded out, nnd all the desks and oflice furniture are ruined. Right from this locality, which is at the corner of First, down to Plnf. on the former street, is a long stagnant pond of foul smelling water ex tending down on the other side past the vwiiorn TTiilon Telecranh office. The Portland Loan office next to the West ern Union, is a heavy loser. Greai stacks of all descriptions of merchandise nvo linniwil nn In the windows and on the shelves, and all are completely ruined. Front street looks worse than eve.-. The middle of the road is com nletelv drv. but on both sides the whole way along the street are collections of filthy little lake3, that are fast polluting all the air in the vicinity. The load itself, built of cobblestones, is in horri ble condition. No two stones are level They are sunken in and form a series of peaks and valleys that would put to shame any road in Clatsop county in the winter months. Underneath them the eartih foundations have ooicd away in manv places forming great crevices, and depositing numbers of the stoner. along the culverts and into the fragrant Donds at the sides. All the produce district adds ita generous share of aro ma to the polluted air, and needless to say the tons of decayed vegetables that I referred to when the flood was highest have not Improved by age. 1 walked down this street at 6 o'clock this evening, and in the whole two-mile lencth of the thoroughfare, passed three people. Not a dozen buildings in this street have been disinfected Indeed it would do no good if they were, seeing that the stench in the roads would nul- Ifv all their efforts to better the state of affairs. The sidewalk for the whole length of Dodd & Co.'s warehouse op posite the Dank of British Columbia is all in pieces. The big timbers were all smashed, and thirty yards of the wood is thrown up against the wall ot the building. Here are piled ruined ma chines of every description, all slung together anyhow and looking exactly like scrap iron. Wheels of traction en gines, plows, and do-sens of boxes o nails are thrown about the street, and all are damaged beyond repair. In the bunk of British Columbia, now that the water has gone, the sight is worth a visit. As in the Portland National Bank, all the furniture and flttlnjs have been smashed to pieces. All along here among the large warehouses the scene shows that the water lias everywhere done more damage than was originally supposed, and the statements made con cerning their condition when the river was hiding most of it, are all now more than borne out. When I got as fir a Hurnside I could stand the fearful stench no longer and turned along intc First street, where matters are quite ae with the exception of the road pav which seerns to have kept its place a great deal better than on First street. The odor is sickening, and all the bust ness houses show how general has been tho destruction. The amount of plate glass alone smashed In this thorough- fni-p is very large. On Friday night the AInsworth dock tlfd a scene of old times, manj vpars atro. The California steamer lef. there at 8 p. m., taking with her a large numler of passengers, and the R. K. Thr.mnsnn cleared at the same -hour. i hi, o Mb rontineint. The whart ml a very bustling appearance t.hP r.Id sheds, that look like desola tion itself, were for a little while the wene of more activity and life man .i, hnvf, witnessed for many a aa The Thompson left her regular dock at Ah .trt tonieht, for the first time in a month. The water Is Just flush with nf the wharf, all the unaerneaiu docking and cargo lifts, of course, being ..m inn,lnted. The approach to the dock will all be rebuilt as soon as the -.tr m,oa down enough to allow of .tin below the woodwork. n-v.. cnianH Hebchts cable care will not be able to run in proper order for vpral days. They are operating In a half-hearted fashion Just now, and four., transfers have to be made In one trip. Corbett, Failing & Co. will lose $5,000 by the flood. Out of the twelve hundred or moro firms that have lost money through the calamity, I will tomorrow give your readers the names of the 20 heaviest losers, with their individual amounts. Culling from my previous re ports and subsequent inter views. I will be fairly within tho maruin in estimat ing that fully 175 Arms have lost over $1,000 apiece, and that l.uw or mmC firms have lost, under that amount, .ma fanzine from $50 to $1,000 each. Then to be added to this is the loss to the municipal!', the railroad ana street car corporations, anu m companles, nu oi wnicn i w die separately. f.,r. ..L.ea ,ir vxvmlo who arc affected to a coiiHiderable extent by the fearful stagnation in tho northern end or tne city are the hackmen and drivers of busses for the various hotels, who are compelled to stand in the thick ot it and wait for the incoming- trains, with a continuous stench of sickening putre- f,.Mi,n nil around them. Of course we are apt to look upon a hack driver as a case-hardened individual, whose nuu can onlv be nleroed by the tendering of a half fare, but I can assure you that what they nov complain of woum upset the digestion of an elephant. Tf anv evidence were needea or tne horrible condition of the water even at !. .. it in tn hp found in the very notlceeable "top notch mark that extends In a tilthy black rim down every street touched by the Hood, running with the regularity of a ruled line over doo-s, windows. brU-k and stone walls, trees and every substance toucneu uy n. cleaning up has been started, the line is Bone, but there ire still very lew ureaies in na n-nb" . 'i'K...,.ri. Din mining ha.ve been uoing night and day for more than a week in Ltpman Wolfe's cellars, the flood still poms In, and will continue to do so, despite all efforts to keep it down, till the river subsides. The Hat rmture ot Ihe whole centre of the city, before commented on, will hold the water in ncbily every flooded cellar until after the Willamette resumes its natural con dition. , , rwiJiiml Kntlnnnl bank, on the J.11C i j ...... - corner of First and Pine, will cost to put it in its condition beiore ine iniuu, just about $1,750. Its massive deskH and u lnm in the Arm s loss, are' absolutely torn up from their foundation posts ana nronen io mcuc by the lifting and floating power of the water. . , Tomorrow I will visit every hock anu wharf along the river front and give ,i..t,iiini i.i..n nf thir in-esent condition, which I need not say is one of almost complete demolition.
