DECENNIAL FLOODS.
Tbe present high water is a re
minder that former high M'illanv
ette Valley freshets came decen
nially, or about the beginning of
ten years periods. Thus Hudson
Bay history gives 1842 as tbe year
of a big flood. Tbe middle-aged
and older generation will never
forget the 1SC1 flood which holds
tbe record for high water, not only
in the Willamette Valley but
throughout the Pacifio Coast, from
the Sacramento valley on the south
to Fraser river up in British
Columbia.
lu December 1879 the Willamette
river was again at remarkable flood
stage. In the first week of Feb
ruary, 1890, Lane county lost not
less than forty thousand dollars in
large and small bridges through the
freshet that holds the record Bince
tbe 1801 flood. While this new-
century flood Is not an extraordi
nary one, it can take lower rank with
the decennial high waters that have
covered greater or leBB portions of
tbe valley lowlands.
THE RAILROAD TRUST.
Congress pasBod the interstate
commerce law forbidding rival
lines to pool traffic There was but
one way to do away with competi
tion buy out rival interests and
consolidate under one head,
Kookefoller, Morgan and Hill, each a
multi-millionaire, have formed
partnership which oontrola nearly
one-third of tbe railroad miloarje
of the United Stales. And public
interests suffer. Here are the latest
conclusions of the interstate oom
rreroe commission regarding rail
road consolidations and disoriml
nations:
"Railroad managers make no at
tempt to conform their practices to
the spirit of tbe law regulating
commeroe. The managers olaim
that they are aotually obliged to
counteract the aim of the law.
"rrenuent discriminations are
inevitable under existing condi
tions end acts of injuatioe committed.
"The discriminations favor the
lew and handioap tbe weak. The
law, as it stands, furnishes an in
oentive to consolidation of rival
lines.
"Twenty-five thousand three
hundred and eleven miles of rail
road have been brought undor the
control of other lines between July
1, 1809, and November 1. 1900.
"By re-classifloations on January
1, 1900, 818 obangos wore made, all
of whioh produced advances in
rates, while only six produoed
reuuouons."
Polk county has a thrifty assess
or wuo loots out that tils con
stituents may get off with a small
proportion of tbe state tax wbiob
justly belongs to them. Uis assess
ment for 1900 shows a redaction
of 30 per cent In the value of prop
erty from that of 1S99. Of course
it makes no dilierenoe so tar as
county taxes are concerned as with
a low assessment a higher levy will
be required to raise the needed
amount; but In state taxes Polk
county will escape payment of her
just proportion of state taxation
A state board of equalisation 1b
needed to correct such abuses.
Those who watoh the oourse of
prices are aware that the trusts are
at it again. Lead, sheet steel,
glass, galvanised iron, wiought iron
pipe, to, sre either advanced or else
re arbitrarily held at exorbitant
prices by tbe great combinations
controlling their production. They
re examples of the tribute levied
upon the industries and tbe people
of this country by trusts which
derive their power to levy tribute
-from tbe protective duties in our
tariff.

It has fallen alone tl en till at tbe prss

Reports reach here ol considerable
damage being done to property on lo v
lands adjoining tbe river, alto of sev
eral small bridges being washed away,
and the 8 P Company's railroad tracks
being encroached upon by the turbu
lent waters,
It llroad trafllo Is demoral'zed for
the present. Yesterday's northbound
daylight overland due hers at 2:08 p
waa stopped at Cottage Drove on
account of a washout Just this aide of
Saginaw. Tba southbound train ar
rived on lima and proceeded on op to
CreaweU where It remained all after
noon and last night and backed down
to Eu-ene and on to Junction this
morulug, but waa unable to go farther
north on account of tbe big bridge
across tbe Willamette this side of Har-
rlsburg being in a dangerous Condi
tlon. The high water washed away a
portion of one of the approaob.es to tbe
bridge, but It baa been temporarily re
paired and late thU) evening last night's
and this afternoon's southbound
trains passed through JSugene.
A construction t train went to
the scene of the washout near Baginaw
yasterday and that part of the road is
repaired, but trains from the south
will be farther delayed on aooount of
land slides In Cow Creek canyon
Iieports state that trains are running
regularly on the Springfield branch. A
train went down from bprlogQeld
about 9 o'clock thla morning.
The river at Eugene spreads over a
vast amount of territory. A part ol
tbe north approach to t ie wagon
bridge has been washed away, a part
of the newly constructed breakwater
near the bridge 1b destroyed and feu tea
and outbuilding have been deinol
lahed. Hundreds of people have v la-

Eugeue Is so situated on the liver
that the city Is not easily flooded when
the waters are high, exoept down In
the manufacturing district when the
water Lacks up, causing a oeaaatlon of
operations at the flour mill and other
factories where water power Is used.
Of oourse, low places in town are rilled,
and a considerable part of South Eu
gene is Inundated by the waters frotp
tbe slough wtiloh flows through that
part of town.
Several basements lu the business

A WET EXPERIENCE.
Dr Harris Is Water Bound on His
Way Home From Camp Creek.
Dr T W Harris bad an experience
yesterday that be la not liable to forget
for many a day. The dootor started
from Eugene with a horse and eart
about 9 o'clock to make a professional
vlalt to Camp Creek. Ou making bis
trip out he found oonslderabe water In
all low plaoea and expected to perhaps
swim bis horse lu one cr two places
oomlng back. But be was not prepared
ror tne spectacle tutt greeted bla eyes
when he reached a point near the Eb-
berl plaoe on bis return about 4 o'clock
In the afternoon. A wide expanse of
water spread over the country and
hi horse waa compelled to swim sev
eral times before he rescind a ravine
blcti on ordinary occasions Is ir-
fectly dry aud when be crossed It lu
the morning had only about three feet
of water, but waa now a raglug tor
rent. Tbe doctor felt rather nervous
about attempting to cross it, but An
ally urged his horse on and made
bold dash for thoj other side. The
rapid current oarrrled horse, oart and
driver quite a distance down the
stream and It waa with difficulty that
Dr Harris held onto the reins and cart,
his head ouly appearing above the
water. Tbe faithful horse, alter a hard
struggle, managed to make the op
posite shore after having drifted 80 r
40yid.
Upnu reaohlugBpriagfleld Dr Ilar-
L.fouud the water bad ooiuplelelv
covered Ihe bottom between that place
and Henderson. He left bis horse and
