BALLSTON BRIDGE GOES OUT
High
Water in Yamhill River Does
Much Damage.
The heavy rains and melting snow
the fore Dart of the week swelled ev
ery stream and caused the Yamhill riv
er to rise until it seemed the high wa
ter mark would be reached, says the
Sheridan Sun. Monday night and ail
day Tuesday the water continued to
rise until the highest point was reach
ed toward evening when the guage in
dicated 21 feet of water, or a foot
and a half lower than the highest wa
ter noint.
Many logs came floating down the
river from the Palmer Mill ac Will
amina and a few from the Scott &
nutlet Mill at Butler, and the loss
from this source will be considerable.
The low lands adjacent to the river
were Inundated and the south end of
Bridee street, from the track to the
Scroeein residence, was covered, the
water reaching nearly to the sidewalk
A few cellars were flooded in town
Above Willamina the water so en
croached upon the highway that the
stage was unable to make its regu
lar triD to Grande Rande and only
went as far as Willamina.
At Ballston the wagon brdige across
the Yamhill river was taken out by th
high water and floated downstream
and many bridges and culverts on
smaller streams have disappeared
from the same cause.
