THE EAST SIDE
The East side is the principal part of Eau
Claire, and the partwhich was inundated was
SUBSTANTIALLY built, 50 that to the eye, at
the buildings. Figures as to losses to their
occupants are as yet un%attainable, Us 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. n 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 q partial list of the losses can
be given on the East side:

Thirty or forty residences on South River

carried away and their yards filled with
ing $3.50 each. Some of the brick blocks
show signs of settling some as the water re-
cedes, but it is hoped they will not be
rendered unstable. From Main to Kelsey
street, along Barstow, stocks in cellars are
damaged from 800 to $500. There are nc
reasons for changing estimates made in Sun

not over 81, 600, 900,

On it's own part the city of Eau Claire is
Offering all possible relief to food sufferers,
while private individuals are not backward.
Offers of aid, generous offers of assistance,
have come from outside to private individ-
uals and firms, but in the main Eau Claire
will care for it's needy. The opera house is
drying out rapidly. and the upholstery and
furnishings are damaged but little. The ok
pecation is that it can be opened again in
almost as good condition as before. Steam
pumps OF the Galloway house saved the
valuable contents of it's basement from
damage, and the assistance they offered
their %neighbors prevented flooding in some
of their buildings. An alarm from the fire
bells at + o'clock this morning frightened
many citizens, some of whom thought it an
nounced another flood, but it was only q
small blaze. Services We're held in most of
the churches to-day, and texts were in ref
erence to floods. and the great danger es-
capped.
The loss of life in the city, so far as is
known, is confined to one person. Consid-
ering, the extent of the Hood and it's sudden
ness, this is remarkable. Other drownings
in the valley are three men, one woman and
one child. whose bodies f1oated down from
above and have not been found yet.
Since Thursday noon the river has fallen
twenty-five feet, and is within five or six
feet OF low water mark, which at the present
rate of decline it will reach by Tuesday
morning.
Indications tonight favor rain, but no
fears are expressed of another freshet.
On the excursion train which came from
Menomonee to Eau Claire to-day, $50 was
taken up for sufferers by the flood.
