that their loss is dry kiln. 100000 feet of hard
wood lumber. and minor damages to mills.
Total, about $1,000.
THE EAST SIDE.
The East side is the principal part of Eau
Claire, and the part which was inundated was
substantially built, so hat to the eye, at
least, there is as yet but little injury to
the buildings Figures as to losses to their
are as vet unattainable, as the
damage to most of them was injury to goods
in Easements. Most of them are yet under
water, and the goods inaccessible. Many of
such stocks will be found %uninjured by the
water. The principal retail business is
saloonkeeping, and the proprietors of these
establishments can give no estimate until
they find out whether their spirits are still in
the barrels The following is. however, the
list of the losses as they could be ascertained
to-day. Only a partial list of the losses can
be given on the East side:

Thirty or forty residences on South River
street had their rear fences next to the river
carried away and their yards hlled with
debris, which causes damages approximate
ing $3.50 each Some Of the brick blocks
show signs of settling some as the water re-
cedes, but it is hoped they viii not be
rendered unstable. From Main to Kelsey
street, along Barstow, stocks in cellars are
damaged from 800 to $500. There are no
reasons for changing estimates made in Sun
days PIONEER PRESS, that the total losses are
not over 81, 000, 900,
The loss of life in the city, so far as is
known, is confined to one person. Cons1d-
ering. the extent of the food and its sudden
ness, this is remarkable. Other drownings
in the valley are three men, one woman and
one child. whose bodies hoated down from
above and nave not been oun yet

TWENTY-FIVE feet, and is within fve or six
feet of low water mark, which at the present
