WATERS RECEDING.
The Floods in the Pacific Northwest
Subsiding Rapidly.

PORTLAND. ORE, Feb. THE situation here
is more favorable. The water has fallen sew
eral inches and is rapidly going down, but even
yet the only means of travelling on Front street
is by boats, the water being too deep to permit
pedestrians to walk on the street even with
rubber boots. No correct estimate of the dam.
age can be obtained until the river recedes
within its banks. Both bridges across the
river, which were threatened for two days past
have stood the pressure and are now thought
to be out of danger.
ASHLAND, ORE, Feb. THE extent of the
damage by the late rains to the Oregon and
California railroad between here and Roseburg,
$50 miles north of here, cannot be estimated
even approximately, but Is very heavy. The
railroad from Grants Pass to Roseburg is re-
ported one continuation of slides. The streams
all over southern Oregon are reported as high
it not higher than in 1861. A report reached
here late last night from Glendale OF an i'm
mense slide on the railroad half mile south of
the west fork in Cow Creek canyon The slide
came from high mountain down to the bot
tom OF the canyon, distance of 500 or 1000
feet, covering the track and filling the canyon.
The report says trees are standing on the slide
the same they were when it started from the
summit. The water backed up in the canyon
for distance of three miles. is 500 feet wide
and from fifty to seventy-ive feet deep. Tun-
mel three as completely buried in water. The
creek is trying to cut through the slide, but the
earth is jammed in SO tight that so far it has
not given away. Telegraph lInemen built a
raft yesterday and will try to get line across
the lake that has been formed.
