At Nw West- minster the river wharves are submerged. Many cabins along the water front have floated off on the tide, and many poot fam- ilies have lost all their belongings. Points further up the river report increasing dan- ger. At Nicomen island forty-four fine farms are entirely under watc Though much stock has verished, but eight are known to have been lost. ities are reported toda island, two mties abov Westminster, is fotally subm fine farms formerly dotted the is ranchers were rescued by steamboats, all their stock has gone down the river. All the river steamers have been commissioned by the government to service in securing the imperiled persons. In the vicinity of Ruby the greaf anger is apparent, and several steamers have been dispatched to that district. e marks of the great flood of 1882 have already been passed. The Frazer river has risen three inches at Westminster during the past twenty-four hours and is still rising. At North Bend the water is a foot above the mark of the great floods of 1882. As the warm weather con- tinues and there is still a large amount of snow in the mountains the river may be expected to rise much higher. Steamers are still busily engaged in rescuing settlers and cattle. An idea of the depth of the water may be gathered from the fact that a steamer drawing six feet of water passed over several islands in the center of the channel of the river. Last night the water reached fourteen inches over the Central Pacific_tracks near Mission and no trains were dispatched today. No malil has heen received here for eight days. A fund has been started here to assist settlers who have lost their all by the floods. It is no uncom- mon sight now to ee houses and barns floating down the river. Reports of the drowning of some Indians have been re- ceived, but cannot be verified. ISING. All Danger is Past in British but BOATS SUCCEED RAILROADS, Tracks Into Portland Under Water and Hoats the Means of Communication, PORTLAND, Ore., May 31.—No trains have arrived from the cast over the Union Pacific since last Saturday. The company has put on boats at Umatilla, but is experiencing great difficulty in making portages at The Dalles and Cascade. Telegraph communica- tion along the Columbia is cut off to Uma- tilla and the only means of reaching eastern Oregon and Washington is by a circuitous route. Miles of the Union Pacific track along the Columbia is washed out, and It will probably be more than a week before another train reaches this city over that route. The Northern Pacific managed to keep passengers and mails moving by press- ing into service the large transfer boat used at Kalama. The Southern Pacific has expe- rienced only slight delays. The northern part of the city, back as far as Ninth street, is a vast lake, and business in the whole: sale district is entirely suspended. The ab- sence of any current in the Willamette river makes navigation by boats very easy, and hundreds of small boats are being used along Front, First and Second sireets from Alder streef to the north end. The river was at a standstill at 3 p. m. A telephone mo: from the assistant government engineer at the Cascade Locks states that the bulkhead is leaking, but he Qoes not think that it will go out nor that any serious damage is likely to be done. ‘The damage to the Union Pacific track be- tween Portland and Umatilla will, it is thought, reach into the hundreds of thou- sands. Great damage has been done to farmers living along the Columbia river in the loss of stock and crops. In the city but little damage has thus far resulted. Owing to the slow and gradual rising of the water, mer- chants had ample time to get their goods out of the way. The latest intelligence from the upper Columbia region was that the river at Umatilla and Riparla was station- ary. It is generally believed that the water In’ this city has about reached its extreme height. Its subsidence will be very slow owing to the large area over which the water is spread. The Western Union tonight lost all wires to the north and Seattle and Tacoma are totally cut off as far as tele- graphic communication s concerned. Twenty miles of poles along the Columbia are covered by water and it will probably be a week before they can be repaired. Flooded by n Broken Dam. MINNEAPOLIS, May 91.—A Spokane, Wash., special to the Journal says: A tele- gram recelved this moring from Coulee City states that the flood at the village of Con- conully was a sccond Johnstown, caused by the breakage of a dam above the village. Everything went before the advancing wall of water. However, but one life Is as yet known to have been lost—that of Mrs. Al- mira Kelth. The village was located in a canon @ hundred feet wide, and throngn this narrow channel the flood poured with resistless force, sweeping everything with it. The property loss Is estimated at $150,- 000, When Baby was sick, e gave her Castorta, When sho was Child, sho eried for Zastorla, When sho bocame Miss, sho clung to Castoria, When sho had Children, sho gave them Castoriy running OU can save from &3 to $15 on any one of our—stylish and HY pay §12to $15 for Trousers, WE MAIL well-made Suits-to order $20—$25—$30 when our assortipent at 6788 is bound to please you as well—wear as well—look as well-— Y()l"LI, learn a le; SAMPLES. on in economy when you deal with us. 207 South 15th.
