cleaning out, and in week business on the
river front will be resumed.
Port Portland,the shipping port,is not so
| fortunate, and it will take weeks, besides
| thousands of dollars, to put them on the
| same basis as before the floods. The dam
age to the cutoff dam alone is estimated
at $4,000 by the engineers to-day. Other
| public works in the same locality of less
magnitude suffer comparative losses,
while below the break in the dam will
| have to be pumped out at the expense of
the city before the houses can be replaced
| or cleared up, while nine-tenths of the in
habitants will have to completely refur-
nish their homes. Without unremitting
attention from charity the most intense
suffering will continue for weeks. The re-
lief association is untiring in its efforts to
lessen suffering and the demand
! upon purses has been bravely and
lovingly met. From abroad come cheer
ing messages and substantial aid. W. W.
COrcoran, the philanthropist, sent Mayor
Jacobs his check for $500 this morning,
from Washington, and all over the country
where Kentuckians are found they show
they have not forgotten their native state,
and daily they send greater or smaller
amounts to lift the load the suffering peo-
pie so unmurmurmingly bear. The ladies
of Louisville are tireless in good deeds.
Strong men brought the sufferers from out
of the great danger, but its women's
hands fed and clothed the hungry anj half
clad, who have crowded the relief stations
by night and day. Out of the gloom of
our greatest disasters has shone steadily
and bright holy charity and loYe which
proves the whole world akin.
