The bulkhead facing T. B. Cosley' $ property was torn away early last night and but for the substantial posts under heath would have been total loss.
 Every building now on River street Is either atloat or ready to go; some are tied to anchora ges on the hillside. In some cases wreckage and drift wood janlming against the buildings are all that saved them from floating out to sea. Between the old Riverside saloon and Jaycox's laundry but two buildings now stand, some six or eight tents and cabins havin. been washed out. In nearly all cases but little was saved.
 The Baltimore building owned by J.. A. Northway, still stands, but there is danger of its floating away at any min ute, or should barge happen to lodge against it, nothing will save the build ing and contents. The water in the street at this point is three feet.
