Flood waters from tho Columbia river,"
which broke through 75 feet of dike
six miles north of Woodland at 7
o'clock last night, are spreading today,
after flooding nearly 5,000 acres to a
depth ot eight to ten feet.
.There was no loss If life, as warning
had' been given o all residents of the
flooded districts to be prepared for the
break.
The damage Is chiefly to' crops ot
wheat, oats and potatoes, and Is'estl- ,
mated at from 1300,000 to 1500,000.
At 5 o'clock this morning the water
broko through the culvert on the)
Northern Pacific railroad, causing
a still further spread of Inundation.
About 100 cattle are still to be rescued.
Many hundreds were driven from tbe
flood zone.
Grant Burko, son of James Burke,
pioneer rancher, narrowly escaped
death, when the pump bouse on the
dike washed away while be was with
