merged. Washed
Away.
Portland, Ore, June 3 This has
been busy day in Portland. All
day long merchants in the flooded
districts have been at work moving
out goods or raising them on plat
forms above the water. The river
continues to expand every hour and
the situation becomes more perllous.
The weather has become cooler here,
but no reports can be had from
Eastern Oregon and Washington,
the source of all the food. Tele- |
graph wires north and east are down,
and it is impossible to obtain any
news of the situation along the Col
umbia river The river here is 81
feet above low water. and every
twenty four hours adds to it from
eight to twelve inches. Three fourths
of the Wholesale district is under
water from two to ten feet, and the
water is fast encroaching upon the
best part of the retail district. Hun
dreds of small houses on the flats
surrounded by water up to the sec
ond story have begun to turn over.
A further rise of foot will take
them out. Many merchants are un
able to get lumber with which to
build platforms to keep their goods
above water. Every available boat
in the city has been hired, and the
boatmen receive from 81 to IS per
hour for services. The Western
Union Telegraph company's Office is
surrounded by six feet of water.
| On the west side of the river the
water extends almost to Washington
street On Sixth street, within one
block of the Orsgonian building on
Sixth and Alder streets This .ven
ing the water reached the first floor
of Lipman & VOLTS, the largest dry
goods store in the city. On the east
side many of the elevated roadways
leading to the river are submerged,
and the Madison street bridge at the
south end of the city is the only
bridge open to traffic. A rise of six
inches more will shut off the gas
supply of the city.
The Union depot is two feet under
, water, and the Union Pacific car
shops in Albina are surrounded by
: five feet. The Southern Pacific is
the only railroad running trains into
Portland, and they are compelled to
stop at the south end of the city,
being unable to reach either depot
