been swept from their insecure moor
ings along the river front are seen
floating far out in the stream, though
the inmates have evidently escaped, rs
there is no sign of life about the cot
tages. There is great damage reported
to crops and farms along the river
front.
The water began to rise here about I
o'clock yesterday afternoon and by
night had gone up II feet and still is
rising. The great dam and power
house at this place is in imminent
danger of being washed away. The wa
ter is pouring over the great 1900 foot
dam spanning the river here in a solid
sheet of mud and debris u feet deep
and roaring so as to be heard several
miles. All below this city, which is To-
Gated at the foot of the range of noun
tains this big flood is rapidly forcing
its way into the lowlands, submerging
them and causing much anxiety as to
the safety OF the people living in close
proximity to the river. Word has been
sent on down the river to the people to
take TO the higher lands.
