Extraordinary Floods.

oi SHOW III tho mountains during last
winter are now being realized in the
greatest floods ever known in the country
at this season of the year, with CORE
>ponding damage to crops and improve
ments. The uncommonly cool spring and
nrsl part OF summer held the SHOWS in
check in great measure until within the
past ten days, when few hot days set
all the mountain streams booming. The
Skaglt river raised above all past recol-
lection. Mining operations upon that
river and its tributaries are indefinitely
suspended; booms of logs have broken
away and f1oated out to sea; dykes have
been broken or overflowed upon the Ska
Git and Swinomish, and it is estimated
that $500 acres of grain in that vicinity
are wholly or partially destroyed The
principal sufferers are G. J. and J. Chill
berry, james o. Laughlin, Samuel Calhoun,
Nelson Chilberg, James Powers, Kennedy
estate. Cornelius estate, Caches Brothers,
Burns & Brewster, Joe Maddocks, Charles
Talbot, Holyoke, Olef Paulsen and Peter
Olsen.
The Cowlitz river is higher than ever
before known at this time Of the year.
The lower Columbia has overfiowed
thousands of acres along its banks, and
the destruction of growing crops is i'm
mense. Ths- town OF Freeport, and all
the fiat country around it is submerged.
The residents of that locality have fed
te the hills tor safety driving their cattle
before them. Kalama is under water
and steamers connect with the Tacoma
and kalama railroad on the Cowlitz.
The bottoms between the Clackamas
river and Oregon City are overfiowed do>
ing considerable damage. Sauvric's Is
land and Columbia slough are completes
ly submerged, as are also the farms on
the vest bank of the Willamette below
Portland.
All the lower part of the city of Port
land is under water and elevated side
walks are erected for passengers.
But very little damage has been done
by the flood in this vicinity, including
the bottom lands on Duwamlsh, White,
Black and Cedar rivers. Railroad travel
has not been obstructed, though the wa
ter is slightly ever the rails in places.
HOME ENTERTAINMENT bur
iesque opera, put upon the stage by Mrs
Snyder, assisted exclusively by home tal>
ent, gave great satisfaction to a very
ltrge and intelligent audience on Tuesday
evening last, and by special request was
repeated on Saturday night to much
better house than usually patronize pro-
fessional artists from abroad. Mrs. Snv-
der exhibited good taste and artistic
skill in the make up of the piece, and
some of the performers would have done
no discredlt to any opera troupe. To the
great mass of the people, who are with
ont musical cultivation, such an enter>
tainment is quite as pleasant and mnch
more profitable than enc by artists whose
style is incomprehensible to nine out Of
ten who patron;ze them. 1t is good pol
icy to patronize home productions when
you get your moneys worth.

profitable as other vocafiOns: that more
money can be earned in almost anv
other vocation with less labor: hence

very far from the truth Most Of the
farmers in every county Of Iowa com
menced life poor. If they have strictly
adhered TO legitimate farming and
avoided speculation. in most cases they
are well situated. and are far more
comfortable than an equal number OF
associates who chose the town. Facts
sustain us IN the assertion that out Of
one hundred young men. who leave the
country for the town or city, not more
than one becomes wealthy; perhaps
one-tenth obtain competency. aud
