THE EAST SIDE.
The East side is the principal part Of Eau

substantially built, SO that to the eye, at
least, there is as yet but little injury to
the buildings, Figures as to losses to their
occupants are as yet 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 la, however, the
list of the losses as they could be ascertained
to-day. Only a partial list OF the losses can
