WHITE SALMON NOTES.

A brother of Mr.. Basinger Of White
Salmon will open line OF general mer-
chandise here in the near future.
The Groshong residence is nearing
completion. 1t looms up big as its own
er in proportion.
The dance given by Grove & Gear
hart in the hall above the new drug
store was house warmer and ahowling
success.
The store of G. M. Wolfard has been
enlarged and this is but start in the
line OF its expansion. All kinds OF inn
provements are going to follow. Enter
prise and progress seem to have invaded
White Salmon. Even the silurians are
beginning to rub their eyes and look
around.
The West End, or Cook settlement, is
one of the neatest and most homelike
portions Of White Salmon. Go see for
yourself.
Cut rates on the river can't last
alway, and transportation companies
will get even in the long run, but it
makes some OF our people smile as they
dig up a two-bit piece for ride to Port
land. OF course they make up for it
when they get there and come home
"busted."
On our dock is a notice by the d. J..
q A. company that the dock is not for
steamboats,, nor for public use,i is private
property, and to look at it is trespass.
As simple decoration it is dismal
failure and we don't know what it is for
any more. Ii the d. p x A. want 10
preserve it for their own exclusive use
few new planks in the flooring would be
appreciated by the trespassers who
think they have business there.
S. G. Ziegler is digging andblasting out
a hole in the bluff for his residence, 1t
will be slightly place overlooking his
land and the river. His tillable land is
too valuable to be utilized for building
spot.
Judge Byrkett will sell a part OF his
land west of the creek and would lease
the rest for long lease term. Here is
a chance for some man Of the right sort
The result OF our bond election proves
that White Salmon is not overgrown
with moss and will stand by its educa-
tional interests. If you get in front Of
the wheels they will override you. You
can't strangle the life out of our public
school. 1t is going to grow and expand
and people who want to retard it had
better pull back on the tailboard rather
than to lie down in front of the wheels
of the car of progress. It's safer plan
and when you get tired we would advise
you to let go. Yelling whoa is an in
nocent amusement, but we once knew
OF man being kicked to death, not for
yelling whoa, but because the fool would
not let go the horse's tail after he gotup
his sDepd.

her farm and to visit with relatives and
friends.
Mrs. Amos and Mrs. Ed Underwood
came home from the huckleberry patch
Sunday evening. They had so many
berries that Mrs. Ed Underwood and

soaking, for it rained most all day. They
expected to meet team and hack at
the forks of the road, but the driver
did not fancy sitting out in the rain, so
came home before the berry pickers
came to the main road. 1t was almost
s O'Clock when they reached home. The
huckleberry mountain is delightful
place for summer outing, Especially
when it rains)

SOLID FOR THE SPRINGER.
Nearly everybody from everywhere
has expressed their opinion about the
boats, and | think it time for the Under
wood settlers to say something. Weare
all tor the Spencer for the reason that
we have been treated so outrageonsly
mean by the Regulator line. We are
all for the Spencer, and there is not one
from this landing but will support the
boat as long as it stays on the river,
which we hope will be permanent.
Many time has there been someone's and
very often quite number, who would
stand ON the beach and wave and call to
the Regulator and Dalles City, but they
never would land. The captains would
seem to become suddenly blind when at
or near Underwood landing. But not
so with the Charles II. Spencer. 1t has
passed the landing but very few times
without landing. The few times it did
not land there was nothing to land for.
So, long live the Spencer. We all wish
the good luck and prosperity TO the
Spencer and her good-natured and ac-
commodating manager and captaian
they SO richly deserve.

couragement was offered last night, and
what to-day will bring Is a mere conjec-
ture
The condition Of the refugees is one Of
abject pity.
SCARCITY OF FOOD
CAUSES MUCH SUFFERING.
Food was what the residents Of Venice
and other Of the flooded cities on the East
Side begged for yesterday. Many boats from
North st. Louis and such skiffs as could be
gotten on the East Side carried on relef
work. but few of them brought food.
These craft did yeoman service in trans
porting those who wished to reach the Mer-
chants bridge approach, and thus escape to
dry land in st. Louis.

no friends to whom to go. do not wish to

The Colorado got under way shortly after
2 o'clock and made a quick trip TO the tenn
porary landing at Venice. When the tug

had rescued more than 100 men, women
and children.
The provisions brought by the Colorado
were distributed as rapidly as possible ana
the refugees were made as comfortable as
circumstances permitted.
After landing the provisions Harbor COM
missioner Whyte and Mr.. Donk were rowed
over to Venice, where arrangements were
made for meeting the Mark Twain upon its
arrival in St Louis.
A boatload of persons who had been
driven from their homes by the high water
were taken aboard by Commissioner Whyte
and transferred to the Mark Twain.
Two skiffs belonging to the harbor boat
were in commission all day and many per-
sons taken from submerged houses in Ven
ice.
After relieving the situation at Venice the
Colorado proceeded up the river. A careful
watch was kept on both sides Of the river.
but no person was seen on the Illinois or
Missouri shore.
On the return trip the Colorado was
taken below Eads bridge on a trip Of In

there Is lack Of food. clothing and medi-
cine.
Mayor Scott Of Venice made this state
ment last night:
I'VE have probably forty or fifty families
In absolute want. The butcher and grocery
shops are not sufficiently supplied to furnish
those who have money to purchase food.
and it is necessary that we get provisions
quickly. We need beef and necessary food
stuff. as we'll as conveyances In which to
transport them to the city"
A system Of relief was established In
Granite City yesterday.
Committees on supplies, Housing and
Contributions were named by the Mayor
and the work Of rendering aid to the needy
was begun Systematically. Over 1900 has
been contributed to the aid of the sufferers.
A. ". Morris, chairman Of the General
Committee on Distribution. says that he
doesn't think outside assistance will be
called for as far as Granite City proper Is
concerned.
The labor problem Is a serious one that
confronts the Tri-Cities. The flood has
caused all the large plants to shut down
and thousands are out Of employment
Many of these employees live in St Louis.
The car foundry in Madison employed
5000 men. All Of these are Idle as a result
OF the flood. In Granite City over 5000 men
are out Of employment. They were en-
ployed by the Enamel works. the American
Steel Foundry Company. the Common
wealth Steel Company, the Markell Lead
Company and a few lesser concerns

East st. Louis, from the normal river

ESTIMATES LOSSES.
THE loss to the farmers in the Missis-
sippi Valley will work an immense damage
to the ST. Louis market. The wheat and
corn that was lost would have been mar
keted in St. Louis. To give you an exam
pie of the extent Of this trade 1 want to
cite you to the fact that last year the
steamer Cape Girardeau alone transported
10000 sacks of grain to St. Louis.
L have two landings on my island. but
both were completely submerged when we
reached that point. saw some of my farm
hands on roofs but l was unable to COM
municate with them.
1.-The damage to houses and barns and
live stock will reach into thousands. but
the loss in wheat and corn will be the
greatest item in the disaster. I will venture
to say that 100000 will not cover the
losses on cereals.
I'm recent years the farmers in the lower
Mississippi Valley have improved their
farms. Good houses and barns have been
erected and good fences have been con-
structed. These improvements have been
practically washed away, and the loss will
be greater than If the flood had come a
few years ago.
Having not experienced a disastrous
flood since 1881. the farmers believed that
the future held out no dangers from this
source, and they were mistaken.
1T is unfortunate. and St. Louis mer-
chants. instead of sending money to Kan

While no authentic account has been re-
ceived. 1t is claimed that seven Polanders
were drowned near the American Car and
Foundry Company's plant at Madison. They
were supposed to have been drowned in a
pond near the car plant The normal depth
of this pond is ten feet. At the present
stage Of the river its depth is nearer thirty
feet. The pond was dragged yesterday. but
the bodies were not recovered.

Edwardsville has been made the tenn
porary terminus of the Wabash and Glover

Many special trains were run from Ed

were rescued. One of these trains was
charactered by Charles Boeschenstein of
the Edwardsville Intelligencer. This train
brought 1000 men. women and children out
of the flooded towns.
The refugees were frantic by the time the
train arrived. and before 1t stopped there
was a mad scramble to get on board. Sew

by the steamer Kennedy, in command of
Captain William Hackmann.
The refugees were taken aboard tust In
the nick of time. They were found on the
roofs Of houses. The buildings were then
tottering and the victims were so fright
ened that they had begun to tear apart the
timbers TO make RATS upon which they ex-
pected 10 float down the river.
Prior to the rescue of the inhabitants Of
Mullanphy Island the Kennedy sighted
three men in a boat. about mile of Black
Walnut Island The men hailed the steamer
and were taken on board.
They gave their names as Link Ball. John
HUFF and Arthur Smiley and said they had
been adrift ever since last Sunday morning
and had not tasted of food since Saturday
night. They were almost dead when the
steamer reached them.
All Of the refugees and great deal of
their live stock and household goods were
taken back to ST. Charles, where they were
put into temporary quarters in the old
County Courthouse. Food and clothing were
given to them by the citizens of st. Charles
and they will be cared for until the water

The steamer Kennedy left St. Charles yes

be in great danger on Black Walnut Island.
These persons, however, refused to take
shelter on the boat, preferring to stay with
their property.
