again heard from, and it is impossible
that they could come out alive.
1.-THE whole country gives one the
idea of a'vast graveyard where the toll
of years, the hopes for the future and
all that makes life worth living, of an
entire people, lie buried. 1t was with
a feeling of strong relief that we pro-
ceeded on our way to the coast where
we arrived yesterday. Millions of dol
lars will be necessary to repair the
damage already DONE"

WATERS RECED|NG
Columbia, Snake and Fraser Have
Done Their Worst.
DESOLATION IS WIDESPREAD
Miles and Miles of Country Devoid of a
Living Thing-ROugll Estimate of
the Damage Done.

PORTLAND, June S.-The river is slow
ly falling, and reports from eastern
Oregon state that the Columbia and
Snake rivers are receding. The DAM
age is apparent low the water is fall
ing. Nearly every dock in the city has
been foated out of place and many will
collapse. Sawmills are heavy losers by
reason of the immense quantities of
lumber and logs that have floated out.
AS far as learned not life has been
lost in this vicinity. Many business
men will be ruined. Those who neg.
lected to raise their stocks or move out
before the water reached them are
ruined. Many waited hoping the water
would 60 down, and when the demand
for boats and wagons exceeded the
supply they were unable to secure any
assistance.
The Union Pacific is practically
wreck between here and Umatilla,
distance of 200 miles. Much of their
rolling stock is also damaged. In this
city many engines are standing in four
feet of water and at the Dllles a num-
Der of them are under water except the
smokestacks.
Reports from the Cascade locks are
that the government works are still in
great danger. The bulkhead which
keeps the Columbia out of the upper
end of the lock is almost subm "rged.
Should it 60 out al! the riprap wors

destroyed, entailing a loss of over mil
lion dollars. The Union Pacific is in
very bad shape near the locks. Where
the current strikes the bank alongside
the railroad the mountain is moving, re-
sembling huge glacier, while masses
of bluff are continually falling into the
river. Big fir trees as they tumble over
the bank hang for little while down.

below. The river has cut into the
mountain for a quarter of mile. The
bluff where the railroad formerly ran
presents a face 800 feet high.
At the Dalles the river is SO feet above

mess are the grocers and markets. The
water is nearly three feet deep on the
floor of the postoffice and swift cur.

1t is feared many buildings will be

a few more feet will inundate the entire

the Indians for many years, is almost

COLORADO MINERS
State Troops Greatly Temper the
Cripple Creek Strikers.
NO CHANCE FOR A CONFLICT
Thu Mill In From Its Position Between
the Two Armies Prevents Either
Side Making an Attack.

CRIPPLE CREEK, June 9.-The excellent
conduct of the state troops, acting uPor
the polite orders of General Brooks
greatly tempered the animosity that the
deputies and strikers have felt toward
each other, and the chances for a con
flct are more remote than at any time
since the two forces faced each other.
The militia, from its position between
the the two armies, has moved so as to
prevent either side making an attack,
and has executed orders in such polite
manner as 10 win the regard of both
sides. Several times the deputies began
to advance, but were cut off by the
troops. At one time General Brooks
rode down in front of the deputies and
his bearing and words were of such a
nature that ne shook hands with the
sheriff's forces and when he departed
the men gave him three cheers. Both
deputies and militiamen prefer General
Brooks to Adjutant General Tarsney.
The situation became war-like at 10
O'Clock when force of deputies started
for Bull LII with Calling guns. Cen
eral Adams says the deputies will take
the hill CT sacrifice everv man in the
command. General Brooks ordered the
deputies 20 halt and return the Calling
gun, bat tie order was ignored. Ten
minutes after the deputies started there
was terrible sounding of alarm at
Altman calling the miners together for
battle. At IL a. m. 200 deputies, headed
by General Adams, were near the dy ma
mite plant on Carbonate hill, placed
there by tho miners.
At I2:1Op. m. telephone message
from George McMillen of the miners
union stated that no resistance had been
offered to the advance of the deputies
on Bull hill. The majority of the min
ers for whom warrants have been is.
= sued have already scattered over the
hills. Johnson, the leader, is believed
to be a fugitive. The miners who re-
main will go to work under protection
of the deputies, who will take posses
sion of all the mines.
The first BODY of militia arrived in
Cripple Greek at $50 p. m. and were
enthusiastically received oy the citizens.
General Brooks Is now at Bull hill, In a
conference with the strikers. He will
accept their surrender, but will not dis
arm them. The militia has been ordered
to Bull hill, which they will entirely
surround so as to keep back the depu-
ties. Many of the deputies have be-
come disguised and have deserted. A
few shots were exchanged today be-
tween the strikers and deputies, but no
one was injured.

shot in Friends Face.
rockford, Juue 6.-Charles Jacobson,
a young man living near Mica, was shot
yesterday by friend who did not know
the gun was loaded. John Dolborg was
standing in the postofice at Lockwood
st ltion when Jacobson came riding by
on horseback. Dolborg hearing him
stepped to the door and hailed him, and
upon his not stopping, Dolborg raised
his shotgun, as he says, in sport, not
knowing there was any load in the gun,
and fred point blank into the face Of
Jacobson. The young man rode into
Rockford and had his wounds dressed.
One side of his face is fearfully cut up,
and one hand, being raised to his face,
was pretty we'll filed with fine shot.
One eye will, it is feared, have to te
taken out, and the only thing that Kept
the act of young Dolborg from being a
crime, If not murder, was the dis

For Half Century Mary Labor Had Been
Blind, Deaf and Dumb.
JOLIET, Ill, June 1O.-Mary Labor,
aged "a years, died at the county farm.
In 1s49 Joliet was visited by circus in
which was a star equestrienne. Her
riding delighted every one and she was
applauded to the echo. While in Joliet
she was taken sick ard was compelled
to leave the show. All her gaudy
friends of the circus deserted her and
she was thrown On the world in her
sickness. The poorhouse was her only
refuge. The trouble proved to be
typhoid fever, and for weeks the victim
struggled against death. She was
finally triumphant, but the disease left
her deaf, dumb and blind. All efforts
to get at her friends were unavailing
and she remained at the county house
nearly half century not seeing, not
hearing, not speaking. The woman was
so beautiful that twenty.fcur years ago
a visite to the poorhouse said she was
the most beautiful woman he ever saw.

At Yale it has gone down Is inches.
Communication is in such a democrat

ceiving Information from Cripple Creek
yesterday of the condition of affairs on
Bull hill, Governor Waite telegraphed
an order to Adjutant General Tarsney,
instructing him to accept the surrender
of the miners, not to disarm them, but
to protect them with all the power at
his command, to keep the deputies out
of their headquarters, to make no ar
rests, to use no force, but to let every
thing be done voluntarily. 'If the
armed deputies resist" the governor
added, 81 will call out the organized

Cripple Creek Miners Declare They Will
Peacefully Submit.
CRIPPLE CREEK, June S.-There will
be no battle between the fortified union
miners on Bull hill and the army of
deputies encamped on Beaver creek,
less than three miles from Bull hill,
unless hostile move is made
by one or the other. The aspect Of
affairs was decidedly warlike until 2
o'clock Wednesday. Although the
deputies cut the telegraph lines be-
tween here and Midland, the miners
were Informed by their scouts of the ad-
vance of sheriff's deputies, and pre-
pared for battle. They were willing to
surrender to the militia, but declared
they never would submit to arrest until
after the troops arrived. Mr.. McIn-
tosh, representing the miners, said
they would lay down their arms imme.
diately on the arrival of the state
troops. He says the miners will follow
the troops to camp.
Deputies Number Twelve Hundred.
DENVER, June S.-Twelve hun1 red
deputies left here for Cripple Creek
under command of young military
man whose name is not known. News
paper correspondents were locked up
to prevent the news getting out. Gen
eral Charles Adams is in command of
200 cavalrymen. 1t is the intention to
camp at Beaver Park and send COM
mittee to Bull hill to demand the sur
render of certain strikers.
Troops Stranded by Wasbouts.
COLORADO SPRINGS, June S.-The troops
are stranded here owing to washouts
on the railroads. They will not be able
to reach Bull hill by way of Florence,
and may be sent over the Midland road.
Strikers Destroying Property.
McKEEsPoRT, Penn, June s.-No at
tempt was made to start up the tube
works yesterday. Strikers were swarm
ing around the works and depots.
About IL O'Clock some one went among
the strikers and announced that men
were working at the slack piles across
the river. A mad rush was made by
100 or 200 men. The coal tipple of
John Davis came down before the on
slaught. From there the crowd made
break for the new tipple, being
erected by John Mcintyre mile above,
which met the same fate. These slack
pits have not been in use for years, but
the scarcity of coal made apparent
their usefulness.
The city is half deserted owing to the
departure of 1000 strikers to Camden,
three miles south, to destroy the coal
tipples, the object being to enlist strlk
ing miners in their cause.
Coal Miners In Session.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, June s.-The officers
and district presidents of the United
Mine Workers of America met here
in executive session. An effort
is being made to have them declare for
resumption of work at.all mines where
the operators consent to pay the price
asked for mining. 1t is argued that
while the miners, as rule, have been
law abiding, some seem disposed to dis
obey President McBride's injunction to
keep within bounds and thereby public
sympathy may turn others away.

Situation About Sand Point.

SAND POINT, Idaho, June s.-The
food of waters in Lake Pend d'Oreille
and contributing rivers is unprecedent-
ed. The railroads are very heavy
losers. The Great Northern bridge at
Newport is badly damaged, while it
will take four weeks after the water
goes down at Boomers Ferry (where it
is seven and a half feet on the rails) to
again get the track in rnnning order.
At Fisher creek 1880 feet of track is
gone and communication cut off in
places. Traffic can not be resumed on
the road until after July 4.
At Odin, eight miles east of here, the
Northern Pacific tracks are three feet
under water. All trains going east are
abandoned at the west end of Sand
Point trestle and passengers and
freight transferred by steamer to
Clark's Fork. Forty men have been
kept busy on the trestle getting
driftwood, of which there is an enor-
nous quantity between the pilings, but
the water is now so high that several
sections of the bridge have been torn
up to relieve the terrible jam. Super
intendert Gilbert is here giving every
attention to the matter.

Damages vii! Reach $5,OOO,OOO.

Damages viii! Reach $5,OOO,OOO.
TACOMA, June 8 -Railroad men and
others are beginning to estimate the
damage done by the floods throughout
the northwest. A number of conserva'
tive men have placed the amount in
the neighborhood of 100000. 1t is
estimated that the floods and washed
ont tracks and loss of bushes will cause
a loss of at least 100000 each to the
Union Pacific, Great Northern and Ca.
madam Pacific and as much to the
Northern Pacific. General Superiu-
tendent Baxter of the Union Pacific's
Pacific division, told Superintendent
McCabe of the Northern Pacific that it
would take ninety days to rebuild the
fifty miles of track washed out between
Troutdale and The Dalles. This work
can not be commenced until the river
recedes to its natural size. Conse-
quently it is not expected that the
Union Pacific will get its rail line en-
tirely rebuilt before October /. Rail-
road men here think it will take the
Great Northern and Canadian Pacific a
month or so to fully repair their tracks,
and the Northern Pacific nearly as
