FROM THE BAY COUNTRY.

Newsy notes clipped from the Ya-
quina Republican of the 9th, are as
follows:
About half of the fill for twenty feet
on Front street in front of Rays wharf
washed out.
Fears are entertained that all the
oysters in Yaquina river will be killed
by the fresh water.
On Monday the food reached the
ceilings of the first stories of the
houses in Elk City.
Kings Valley was first settled in
1S45 by man named King and his
three sons. The family is now numer-
Gus in that valley.
the Yaquina Bay board of trade is
already bringing about some good.
Through its efforts harbor lights will
probably be established on the bay.
The ocean for a hundred miles off
shore is tinged with earth color, such
has been the immense amount of dirt
washed into it along this coast during
the past week.
1t will be long time before Fall
street can be put i'll a condition for
travel. Hundreds of loads of dirt have
fallen into the cut and it will be an ex-
pensive job tc remove it.
We hear some names mentioned for
county officers but SO far nothing has
been said about candidates for the
legislature. The democrats will prob
ably nominate Tom Cauthorn for state
senator. This side of the range will
claim the senator and one representa-.
tive on the republican ticket if the
east side is to have the county officers.
A United States senator is to be
elected by the next legislature to sue
ceed : Senator Mitchell. Benton
county wants congressional help in ap-
preparations and therefore it should
send full republican delegation to
the legislature so as to be in harmony
with the party in power and the con-
gressional delegation from the state.

Down THE RIvER.-The first
boat to leave Corvallis for down
the river since the flood was the
Oregon Pacific steamer VIM. M.
Hoag on Wednesday morning at
$50 o'clock. She had come down
the river ON Tuesday with 230
tons of grain from Bonneville,
which she took on north hoping
to be able to get through the locks
at Oregon City without difficulty.
About thirty passengers got aboard
here; some going simply for the
trip and to see what destruction
had been done by the high waters
of last week. The N. S. Bentley
may come up the river to-day.

PREPARING FOR THE Busy SEASON.
Some very substantial improve
nfents are being made in J. M.
Nolan's store in this city. At
present, carpenters are busy level
ing up the floor and putting in
new timbers for sleepers. All the
shelving will be replaced with new
which will be much deeper and
permit of a larger stock of goods
being slowed away. The ceiling
and walls will be covered with
beautifully designed decorated
paper, and the woodwork all re-
painted. Six incandescent electric
lights-three on each side-will
be hung in the room and one will
swing in front of the main en-
trance, thus making the establish
ment after dark nearly as light as
during the day. The right rear
corner of the room will be arrang
ed for the ladies' shoe department.
and the office will be opposite to
the left. The north side will be
devoted to mems fine and medium
furnishing goods and that opposite
to ladies' dry goods, etc. In
the whole, J. M. can boast of
neat and newly arranged business
place after the mechanics finish
up the labors designed to them.

FROM KINGS VALLEY.

KINGS VALLEY, Or, Feb. 10, 1890.
EDS. GAZETTE
The big water of the Lucisiamute
has again found its way within its
banks after rise surprising the waters
of '6l and '62. No serious damage is
lone in this locality; some bridges and
fences are moved and carried away.
Some land slides of considerable note,
but nothing serious.
The Luckiamute logs, which have
been in the upper river. came down
aud were safely landed in Frantz
Bros. boom which is dandy, holding
more than five million feet, and showed
10 sign OF weakening.
Prescott Il Vancess' logs passed
through on fair driving water and were
a sight worth witnessing. All the logs
were saved and not lost as has been
reported.
A landslide on the Luckiamute, near
Prescott & Vancess' camp, is reported
to have ch nged the channel of the
river, driving the inmates of to the
hills for safety.
A portion of G A. Frantz's camp
was washed away. j. III.

IT'S ALL OVER.
AND EVERYTHING Is FAVORABLE, FOR AN
EARLY SPRING.

/ EARLY SPRING.
Since the raging Willamette Of last
week is more like itself again. things
are beginning to quiet down and the
food of 80 is getting to be a thing of
the past. Around Corvallis there are
only two signs of what has been done
by the overAowing water-one the
Mary's river bridge going down, and
the wharf at the foot of Monroe street.
But take it all over Benton county and
the damage by land slides, washing
away of bridges, ETC., IS great. In
Alsea country alone, the losses will
sum up high into the thousands of
dollars There probably is not a
bridge in this county but what is dam
aged and $4,000 or $4,000 would
hardly replace them. 1t is said that
every bridge between Corvallis and
Monroe is swept away. Some one
Sdiu Cildt luC IOSS VI StOCk III tic COuu-
ty's limits would be small, but there is
no doubt that this is untrue, for, with
every report brought in, comes the ac-
count of some additional loss. Along
the Yaquina river quite a great many
head of cattle were killed.
One man, who lived in the Alsea
district, said his place was SO badly
torn up and everything he had gone,
that he never would return to the spot
again. Many others, perhaps feel the
same way.
All over Oregon the damage done
was terrible; the lower Willamette coun-
try Jared the worst as but little chance
was given the water TO spread owing to
the high banks, therefore the force was
terrible.
The O. Il C. railroad, on both the
west and east lines, was greatly dam
aged. The first train since the lst
inst. arrived yesterday afternoon; the
east line is not near repaired, and in
southern Oregon the work of repairing
will take month or two. The Ore
gon Pacific track is repaired to Albany
the greatest damage being between
here and that city-and a train will
reach there to-day.
1t has been twelve days since any
mail from the north, east, or south has
been received in Corvallis, and, of
course, the citizens here naturally are
disposed to "kick" some. The super
intendent of the postal service for this
district should be presented with
leather medal for his efficient (2) man
ner in getting mail through-he ought
to attend some reform school awhile,
and see if little ssextra exertion"
could not be pounded into his system.
He's daisy. Some mail could Ger
tainly have been sent here; there are
plenty of cayuse ponies in the country
yet.

ANOTHER REvETMENT NEEDED

ANOIHEh lGEF EIMENT In EEDED.-
From an Albany paper of the 9th,
the following is taken: sThe re-
ceding flood has disclosed the fact
that the high water in the William
cite has caused the river to begin
to cut new channel opposite and
above this city, which threatens to
destroy much valuable garden
lands and to injure the city's wa
ter front and shipping by turning
a portion of the current down a
new formed stream. An examin-
alton of the break will be made
by the mayor and city council,
with a view of petitioning con-
gress for an appropriation to con-
struct a revetment or breakwater
to confine the river to its present
channel"

train from Portland for twelve
days arrived yesterday about ]
o'clock. There were several
pouches of letters and two tons oil
paper mail received.
On last Thursday. the 9th, the
Oregonian press room was four
teen inches under water, and as a
result many ads. were left out and
the paper appeared as a four page
sheet for the first time in about
two years.
Mrs. P. II. Hatch, an old pioneer
of Oregon, and who has lived in
Salem for many years, died in that
city few days ago. She was the
mother of several children, among
whom is Herbert L. Hatch,- for
merly mate ON the steamer VIM.
NJ. Hoag.
There came near being a run
away at the S. P. depot yesterday
just after the passenger arrived.
Lenger's two teams became frisky
at sight of the delayed train
and with the hacks full of mail
started to circle around the old
south school property. They were
soon caught with but little dam
age.
Otto Clellan returned Sunday
from Oregon City, where he had
been on a tricycle., leaving here
Oh Wednesday. He reported it a
sorry looking place. The water
was four feet deep on Main street.
He saw a big log float into store
door, and had an addition recently
plated, pointed out to him, over
which the water fioated to the
height of a telegraph pole, the top
just sticking out.-Albany Demo
crat, 11th.

Loss OF LIFE.-On the 3rd inst.
a side of mountain a few miles
above the old Peak mill in Alsea,
slid down and in its course, struck
the residence Of Robt. Barclay,
and nearly buried it with the mass
of dirt and stone. It was about 5
o'clock in the morning when it
started, and his wife and daughter
hearing the noise rushed out to
see what the eruption was. AS
quickly as possible, the alarm was
given to Mr.. Barclay and his three
children, and Robt. Brown, who
were in the house, but before they
could get out the building was
covered and smashed by the
debris. Mr.. Brown was almost in
stantly killed, but the others were,
after about three hours, released
with but slight injuries. The barn
of Mr.. Barclays was in path
of the sliding mass, and two
horses, two COWS, and six yearlings
were killed.

SINCE THE WATER HAS FALLEN.

SINCE THE WATER HAS FALLEN
Across the river in Linn county
where the whole country was
Hooded last week it is now above
water and does not present such a
Ideplorable condition as al first
supposed. Most all the rail fenc-
ing is gone and in some places the
cuts are extensive and deep. But
most of the farms have been ben
ieited by the alluvial washings.
some parts of them being covered
to a depth the bottom of which
could not be reached by plow.
Mr.. Beach reports some of his
land SO greatly enriched as to be
unfit for wheat raising, and he is
thinking of planting it all to pota-
toes during the coming spring. A
low spot on the ten acre tract of
rev. "A. Rogers. which was to
have been filled in by having dirt
hauled onto it, is now perfectly
level with the rest of the land,
and the reverend gentleman is
smiling all over at his good for
time. Mr.. Wilbanks says he
thinks every acre of his land has
been benefited S. worth on ac-
count of the additional new soil
deposited on the place. 1t will
take but few dollars and but a
short time to replace the fences,
as timber is plenty in the sur
rounding country. To those par
ties the high water has otsbeen
so great an ''ill wind" as at first
thought.

TRIED 20 HANG HIMsELF.-Fred

TRIED TO HANG HIMsELF.-Fred
Smith, who is a New Yorker by
birth, and who has been in Ore
gon for year past was brought
to Corvallis from Yaquina one day
last week to be examined as to his
sanity. He had gone to the bay
from Portland expecting to take
the steamer for San Francisco. but
as they are bar bound he was com
PEELED to remain there. He, has
been, for the pasi eight years, sub
ject to insane fits, and was taken
with one while at that place.
About 4 clock Tuesday afternoon
he made an attempt to end his life
by hanging himself. He tore a
piece off one Of the heavy curtains
used over the Jail windows AMI,
after twisting it into cord shape.
put it up over an iron on the top
of the front doors, tied it around
his neck after getting up a few
inches from the floor and thus
swung off--to glory. While III
this position. and before life was
extinct, he was discovered and i'm
mediately taken down. Drs. G..
r. Farra and Chas. Lee were called
and soon had him in conscious
state, and he is now on a fair way
to recovery. Wednesday he was
taken to Salem's insane asylum

shank's horses. He is traveling 9
to furnish that paper flood reports
that it has been unable to get.
On Monday evening he dispatched
lot Of news from this city. He
is now plodding along on the east
side taking in the country between
here and Ashland. The Albany
Herald, of the 18th, says Of him:
"a. B. Slauson, of the Oregonian

bridge ne found to be the most Sc

dependence he thinks will not lose
very much, as the washed out saw
mill and other buildings can be
placed back on their foundations.
The break in the Oregon Pacific
railroad between here and Cor
wallis he found to be serious, the
track in one place being piled up
against the trees some distance
below, looking like a picket fence,
and some of the track gone en-
tirely, the most diligent search

ALL o. K.-Every river wharf
at Corvallis is o. k. pow-the only
damage done to them was in tear
ing up some of the boards to allow
the water TO come up through. and
thus prevent an upward pressure.
