Logging Com pany Loses Large Rafts of Logs and Forced to Shut Down By High Water. S. P. Company Crippled. From Newberg Graphic of January II, 1923. Once more the Willamette has gone on the rampage and taken toll which will run into the hundreds of in with our own river are all of the other rivers in this part of Ore gon. Following a succession of heavy rains which for days and days soaked up the ground came a week of almost steady downpour which flooded every creek and small stream and raised them to the standing of rivers. Creeks were formed where none had been before and every gully and ravine contributed its stream of water to that flowing into the Willamette. As a result that river climbed steadily until it reached the flood stage, then swept over its banks and inundated all of the low land on both sides. At this point the river sretched out over the low lands for miles. Houses which ordinarily stand on high and dry land were surrounded and some almost completely submerged. The bridge across the Willamette at this place was covered Sunday night and by Monday night 250 feet of the Marion county end was floating loose from the piling At the end of the bridge the water was then sJme twenty feet deep At Dayton the Yamhill river was out of its banks and over two hundred feet of water covered the highway at this end of the bridge making traffic detour by way of Lafayette to get to McMinn ville. All day the rising river was watch ed and that day a boom of logs be longing tt the Spaulding Logging Co. at this place broke loose and came down. This boom struck the bridge pier broadside. The bridge trembled like a leaf but held firm. The log raft broke up and went swirlilng down the river. The Spaulding peo ple lost 350.000 feet of logs at Salem and on Monday evening hud six feet of water in their boiler rooms in that city. The sawmill was shut down here with the coming of hi,jh water and will be unable to rea-ime oi erations for at least several days and r-ssibly a week. Two hundred feet of their logging railroad wu .v.M,j cut i. the Grand Ronde'Coui.tv where a till had been made nnJ thi. wil! ltve to be repaired. Monday morning the gauge at the sawmill indicated a r.Uuxe of -19 feet above low level. On Monday after noon the water had raised to 51 feet 6 inches, and was still raising slight ly. This was a raise of 2 and one feet in about five hours' time. Old-timers say that this is the high est stage which the river has reached since 1M0. Some say that in 1907 it was higher. However, Austin Keeney says that at the sawmill the river only reached 49 feet in 1907. and in 1909 it renched 51 feet. This is not quite as high as it was on Monday afternoon, with the river still rising. In lKl'O it is said that the high water stage reached 60 feet. At that time the buildings at Champoeg were all washed out. Sundny night shots were heard at regular intervals coming from across the river. Henry Chase finally went to investigate and found some peo ple marooned in a house in the flood. He rescued them. They proved to be two men, Charles Bonnier and Frank Murphy. i John Gearin, who lives across the river on the north side of the road nnd just beyond the bridge, was in Portland where it is said that one of his children is In the hospital. Dur ing the night the water completely engulfed his buildlings. His horses and cows were in the barn. There were about six horses and 10 cowfi and all were drowned. Efforts were made by several men in boats to res cue these animals which were stilt alive on Monday but they could not get them out. It is also said that Mr. Gearin had a large number of sheep and goats on his place, all of which are thought to have been drowned. On Monday a row boat brought a lady and little baby up to the bridge where they were landed. They had been staying at the Henta hop ranch The buildings at the Bents place were surrounded and water was well up on the barn. The old partly finished bungalow which was originally erected for road house was In the flood and tho water on Monday evening was within about five feet of the roof. Many other buildings throughout this section of the vnllcly were sub merged. The house of A. Barcroft was surrounded by water and Mr. Bar croft was operating his gasoline launch to get in and out. It is said that the house of Paul Menard wns washed away during the night Sunday and the river was filled with floating debris of nil kinds on Monday. The Chase launch was re quisitioned to clear away a groat quantity of logs, stumps and other Moating debris which was lodging against the Marion county end of the river bridge to take the strain off the structure. The water which was pouring down Tel.. who cr-tlvt.lv mil! RllfWftttfllllV s 55 FT. AT KEWBERG thousands of dollars. And joining through the canyon where the rail road crosses the Villa Road weakened the trestle there and washed out some hundred feet of fill. Train ser vice was held up on Monday as a re sult. The morning train came down from McMinnville and went through to this point and waited there for the Portland train. Passengers were transferred here and both trains 1 backtracked. No other trains were sent through until 6:30 o'clock that evening, when a similar method was employed to handle the passengers. No mail came into Newberg all day. Monday. At Dayton the water was still ris- ing at 1:30 Monday afternoon, having risen about four inches in half an hour there. Here too buildings were under water. A new chicken house of good size washed down the Tarn hill and lodged just above the Day ton bridge Monday morning. Two young men were ferrying persons across from the end of the bridge to the dry land at the edge of the water ; so that they could get to and from I Dayton. j The flood waters in the Willamette at this place reached their crest at abount noon on Tuesday when the gauge at the sawmill registered about 55 feet 6 inches. By this time all of the buUdings on the John Gearin place had been washed away and the water had reached the edge of the roof of the old unfinished road house. It is said that the main current of the river has changed and is sweep ing down through a straight channel about a mile from the river bridge at this place. How much of a chan nel it has cut there is unknown. On Tuesday afternoon the waters began dropping and by Wednesday morning had fallen at least four feet. A heavy rain fell again on Tuesday night and at intervals throughout Wednesday. On Tuesday afternoon the pile dri ver arrived to work in putting in piling to nil the gap where the grade was undermined on the S. P. track at the north edge of Newberg. This work was carried on through Wed nesday and it was hoped to have the track sufficiently in shape to run over by this (Thursday) morning. On Tuesday a cow floated down the river and lodged in the brush near the bridge, but on account of the brush it was impossible to get in end rescue her. Other thinge were seen floating in the river. At the Bents place the water got up into the barn and it is said that at least two cows are dead there. A Mr. Hickman, who lived on the island near Dundee, lost a horse and his supply of meat and other eatables when the river tore a barge from its moorings and carried it away. By Tuesday noon the river had raised fully 400 feet of the Marion county end of the bridge and floated it. This is almost to the turn in the brdige and the end of the structure Is moved fully 25 feet from its or iginal bed. Curtis Coleman and wife, who were living at tho Fawkes bungalow, were taken out by boat wo are informed, but have not learned where they were taken. All communication with the St. Paul country has been severed as all roads are closed by the flood and the telephone lines are down. Doubt less much of the damnge done by the high waters on that side of the river will not be learned until the waters have subsided sufficiently to allow persons to get over there. On Thursday morning news came over the wires that the (ill on tho S, P. near Lafayette had gone out and that train communication from the south would be stopped. This proved to be incorrect, however. The till was threatened and a small portion gave way, but not enough to stop train service. The pile drivers were kept going all night Wednesday night on the wnshout between Now1erg and Springbrook to try and get train ser vice to Portland restored. At the time uf going to press this was still unfinished and it was thought that it would be ready to carry trains be fore the night train tonight. The water in the river fell steadily all night Wednesday night and on Thursday in spite of the heavy rains at noon the river had fallen eight feet. The approach to the river bridge was pulled back into position and the receding waters showed that much damage had been done to it. It is probable that some two or three hundred feet of approach will have to be practically rebuilt. At noon Thursday no communication had been established with St. Paul. Cooperative Marketing Sweepbg the Country .Nearly 2 Million Fanners Are Selling Collectively, One-Half Under Contract "The cooperative marketing move ment is sweeping the whole country from the Atlantic to the Pacific," said C. J. Hurd, market specialist of the O. A. C. Extension service on re turning from the National Cooperat ive council at Washington. "More than a million and a half farmers were represented when the council met, and 15,000 names were wired in from the cotton growers association alone while the council was in ses sion." A state-wide cooperative marketing educational campaign has been agreed on by the 12 organization members composing the Oregon Cooperative council which met in Salem January 17. This will carry the idea into every community in the state. The purposes, methods and results of cooperative selling will be ex plained by extension specialists. Lo cal arrangements and other assist ance will be given by the representa tives of the council The state grange, farmers union. farm bureau, bankers association, ag cultural committee of the Portland chamber of commerce, the state col lege extension service and bureau of markets, and the five state-wide com modity marketing associations are back of the movement The five as sociations are growers of grain, fruit, wool, poultry and hay. Governor Pierce approves the plan and asked the council to name a com mittee to help draft a market master bill for enactment at this session of the legislature. "Bill" Hanley of Oregon, president of the State chamber of commerce, said he is greatly impressed with the work already accomplished and is in favor of extending it. W. B. D. Dodson, manager of the Portland chamber of commerce, was reported as saying that the big $300, 000 development plan would not be a complete success until every farm er has an opportunity to market co operatively. Educators Praise Picture "The Four Seasons" When "The Four Seasons" played recent pre-release engagement at the Rialto Theatre, New York, it ex cited more attention from educators and children than any motion picture that was ever shown on Broadway. It is a fear's biagraphy of Nature; it enables audiences to live a year in an hour and for sheer beauty as well as instructional value it probably has never been surpassed. It is a cycle of the seasons taken under the per sonal direction of Raymond L. Dit mars, Curator of the New York Zoological Society, and edited under the personal supervision of Charles Urban, President of the Kineto Com pany of America.

Soon there are little tadpoles, young robins open their wide mouths and the buck deer drops his antlers, so that the little fawns may not be harmed. And so it goes through the four seasonsas though one walked thru the woods and mountains and met the same animals, the changing flowers and trees again and again. Little squirrels become larger and more courageous and the fawns become graceful, racing creatures. Finally comes winter, predicted by the changing formation of the clouds, and then follows the snow storm, covering the hibernating animals that had crawled back into the holes' and under the rocks from which they ap peared at the birth of spring.
