Portland, Or., June 26th, 1894. The flood 1b now off the streets of Portland as far as regards the level of the river, although the vile puddles and small lakes of contamination, are to be met with by the hundred all over the dis trict that has been Inundated. I have found it impossible yet to compute the promised list of men who have lost over $5,000 each through the calamity, and yourf odors must wait a day or two longer for this Information. The street cleaning department has completed about one fiftieth of the work It has to do, and beyond a dozen little heaps of filth piled up here and thers, and the evidences of broom machines in one or two . places, . mere is no percepiiuio change In this regard. People residing! in the north end district are beginning to do a little, disinfecting, but most of them seem to prefer to risk anything that comes along than take steps , to fend oft disease. All drug Btore win dows are filled with every kind of dis infecting fluid and powder, but It has very little sale, and the street cleaning authorities seem to prefer pinning their. faith to day labor and half a dozen - shovels. The weather since Sunday has been considerably cooler with light showers, " and Is a welcome relief after the great . heat of last week. The weather . ob servers state that the river will fall very fast for the -next five days, and that within a week It may be expected to be down to its ordinary level. Captain Fisher and Frank: Cook wen down home last night. On account of tha smuggling trials tho Jutymen not chosen on the panel were granted a Week's leave, of uiiwnce, and the two ' Astorians skipped onto the Thompson like schoolboys out for m holiday. Away , by the sounding sea "where the sun tipped," etc., etc., they will playfully gambol about for seven days without being In peril of tho deadly frown of Judge Bellinger, or hearing his sten torian tones proclaim, "If that gentle man doesn't respect the dignity of the court he will be committed for con tempt." By the way, the Judge was particularly severe a couple of days ago on one poor old sinner who had beeij brought down from the country to serve on the Jury for the term. He had been around visiting old-time friends, and what with a glass here and a glass there, had managed to tangle up his intellect and his legs very considerably hy the time he tumbled into the court room on Friday morning to hear a ' case. The evidence for the prosecution was well under way before Judge Bel linger nollced that one of the twelve en lightened and respectable gentlemen In the Jury box was fast asleep and snoring like a hog. Cook and Fisher were both there, trembling violently for the safety of their comrade. Tho Judge committed him to the care of the marshnl, and what his fate will be is not yet known. The Telephone left the Jefferson ' street wharf on Sunday afternoon, and, for the first time since the flood began, . went buck to her own dock at the foot of Alder street with the intention of leaving from there yesterday morning. She was taken alongside very carefully, ' but so frail was the dock that, at the first touch of the steamer, It broke com pletely down and the boat was com pelled to seek now wharfage room. She now leaves from the dock between Salmon and Taylor. These constant changes of course necessitate the shift ing of the office, and for the lust two -w.uks Mr. Beeley and the office furni ture have been bobbing around like mercantile shuttlecocks from one loca tion to another. Government Engineer Haskell told me today that the dyking works down the river were badly damaged, but that It was Impossible at present to give any Idea of the full extent of the loss.
