VAScoEvER, B. G., June 2.-The
Fraser river rose 10 Inches vt Westmin-

points further mp the river come re-
ports that the river Ii nearly D feet

inundated. So great has been the de.

ing pressed into the work Of rescue.
Though no more lives have leen lost
during the last two days. there have
been many nAxfOw escapes and thrilling
experiences. Many Families have been
driven from their houses. One steamer
brought 307 settlers from the Westmin-
ster late in The night. One man had
bnilt . strong raft upon which he took
his entire family and III blooded horses.
They were rescued In midstream after
1 having Eesn afioat 10 hours. AZ many
points there ID great destitution among
the inckless settlers who have fed from
their homes.
At the Salmon river settlement, where
the water Ii 10 feet deep on the slat,
many families are huddled together on
the high lands and living on one scanty
meal q day. The rsscuing steamers
have neglected them TO care for others
