greater amount Of damage was done on
Middle Island creek and Cow House

tanks were carried away, partly fllled
with oil, and engines, boilers and cas-
ing were swept away like omanypieces
OF wood. One producer alone lost four
boilers, a large amount of casing, one
derrick and two engines. and several
thousand feet Of lumber and his loss
alone will not be less than five or six
thousand dollars.
The new iron bridge recently con-
structed over Middle Island creek was
washed away and will be total loss OF
about nve thousand dollars.
In the country districts back OF this
city everything has been laid waste. AL
the crops have been destroyed by the
heavy rain and many of the farmers
have lost a greater part Of their stock.

ANOTHER STATEMENT.
Editor AstorianS-


Editor Astorians--
Referring 20 an article IN today's
Daily Astoriap regarding the death OF
John Swonson, ot this place, would say
that everything connected with the up-
fortunate affair .points to suicide.
Swenson had ne cncmies except his
unsnvcrnahlo appetite for liquor since
the close OF the ashhg season he had
been ON u prntractcd spree, After
spending what money he made hshing
he sold his fishing boat and drank up
the proceeds, When his money was
gone he could not procure liquid rc-
freshments and consequently was sober
ing up and feeling very badly; nerves
unsuong and could not sleep; was dts
couragCd; lost faith In his ability to
overcome his weakness and took a
short cut home.
Swcnson lived In q small house built
ON his floating net rack, The loor II
the house Was some seven or eight
inches higher than the floor Of the
rack. lie atood on the rack and placed
the butt Of the guu ON the floor of the
house. the muaale against the left
breast pushing the triggcr with his
left hand. In or,lrr to reach the trtg-
ger he would have to set his left foot
forward, the right foot back. then bend
forward. which would turn the body
slightly to the left, and the charge
would rangv downWapi and to the right.
The force of the Wad aud shot would
throw the body backwards and the ~
coil of the gun should mark the tlour.
such u heavy load passing through the
heart would set every muscle and the
body should have been found very
nearly in the same shape except the
weight OF the head should have
the back. lie was lying
in front ~ the door the right leg bent.
the left leg over the right foot. left
arm extended The wound ranged
downward and To the right The floor
shows where the hutt OF the gun re-
coiled. Everything is SO perfect that
there is no doubt OF the manner OF his
death.
The forcing OF the staple which held
the paddock is quite natural taking into
the condition Mir. Sven
'on had been in for the past few weeks
Il would have been surprising had he
been able to place the key in 50 small
l hole when he came home.
1t is only another victim OF the demon

WHAT \ wHOPPER.

To the Editor ~ the Astorian:--
Last weeks Budget says that am
going to support Bryan and free silver
in the coming campaign. heard some
time ago that there was a story OF that
kind in circulation. cannot do that.
for the reasons mentioned below: In
1856 buchanan was elected President
on tariff Tor revenue only plank The
Democrats had both houses OF con-
gress also. and could pass any bill they
saw tit, They cut the tariff So low
that all OF our mills and factories shut
down for several months. Every la
boring man was out Of a job When all
OF the money OF the country was idle
there was the same old cry then as
now-that money was scarce; We must
have more money. 1t was more bust
ness we wanted, and that is what Is the
matter with US now. Buchanans ad-
ministration ran the country In debt
every day Of its existence. Cleveland's
administration speaks for Itself have
nothing to say.
This silver craze is some like the
other crazes that have struck the
country The ladies have their crazcs.
The waterfall was one OF them. that
subsidized and then came the Grucian
bend Now it is a silver craze II Is
watermelon time now. Can't some one
