one of the most disastrous flood

upon to endure. The food
caused by the melting of the snov
in the Cascade mountains, thu
raising the waters of the Columbia
causing the waters ofthe Willamett
to back up and overflow the cit
and surrounding low country. Th
water has reached a point five fee
higher than has ever been know
before. To those who are az
