WIDESPREAD DAMAGE.

ST. Paul. Mnn Feb. 5.-The damage from
the snow blockades in Oregon. California and
Southern Washington seems about to dwindle into
small proportions beside a probably much greater
loss bv the floods which follow the snow. The
snow-fled valleys rs we'll as railroad cuts and
midrr weather had begun to make way with the
drifts. when on last Friday an unusually heavy
rain set in. causing the snow to melt with
dangerous rapidity Tic little streams quickly
became torrents. and the result seems sure to be
disastrous to all kinds Of property.
II is rumored that Portland is flooded and en-
tirely cut of from the outside world, but the
public reports of the Northern Pacific Railroad
officials indicate otherwise. The city will prob
ably suffer much from the floods II Is already
partly flooded but il is not AT all cut of from the
outside world. That the city is not wholly under
water appears from the reports of the train dis
patchcr of the Northern Pacific Railroad at 81.

reported by the same official as on time, although
II Is now west Of the Idaho boundary, where
some slight trouble was experienced in the snow

From another source information has been re-
cciycd by the Associated Press that the Southern
Pacilc's California line is still blockaded and Is
suffering severely from washouts along the
streams which are rising rapidly from recent
rains and melting SNOW. The latest information
from Portland indicates that the Union Pacific
