WORST FLOOD
IN a YEARS
CONTINUED from Pege /.

or the losses on Main street by far
the heaviest is that incurred by Ba-
ker and Folsom, furniture dealers.
AT the very outset of the flood the
large basement used by that firm and
the Fair store was completely filled
with water. Baker & Folsom had
furniture valued at $1,000 stored in
their basement, and they declare II
will be an absolute loss, as the stock
will be completely ruined. However,
their main store was unharmed, as
was also their undertaking chapel.
The Fair store lost about 500
worth of goods in their basement,
nothing whatever being saved. Also,
the Peoples Warehouse is loser
through goods that were damaged in
their basement, while lesser losses
were sustained by other merchants.
The basement of the Hotel Pendle-
ton is filled with water, thus render
ing the furnace useless. AS a result
the hostelry has been without steam
| today, as has also the Smith-Crawford
and the Judd buildings.
Rubber Boots Popular.
At an early hour this morning
those who were viewing the flood be-
gan a run upon the stock of rubber
boots, and for several hours the clerks
in the Main street stores were busy
fitting men, women and children with
footwear suitable for the sudden
change in the streets.
Reminder of 'S2.
Throughout the day many of the
, older residents Of the city have re-
vived the memories OF the famous
flood of 1882, when practically the
entire town was flooded by a sudden
rise of the Umatilla river. However,
the flood that year occurred in Feb
ruary instead of May, and at that time
there was no levee to curb the tor
rent.
Cabs and Teams Busy.
This has been a good day for the
cabs. 1t beat celebration for busi-
ness. Since early this morning every
available cab and delivery team in
the city has been busy hauling refu-
gees TO higher ground.
When people began to feel that 1t
might be a serious flood. everybody
ordered a load of wood or coal and
the fuel offices have been overwhelm-
All Streams Swollen.
Reports to the city at noon from
Pilot Rock say that all the streams
in that vicinity are swollen and many
wagon bridges are washed out. The
Meacham Creek country has been
visited with a terrible rainstorm and

rent of water.
Rain has fallen steadily on the
mountains for the past 3s hours and

German Indignation.

Berlin, May SO.-The press is
unanimous in the arraignment OF
American packers, and demand pro-
lection for the German public. One
paper declares: "The rest of the civ
ilized people adopt Christianity, the
Americans unblushingly adopt satan
as the inspiring spirit of their public
life." Others are even stronger in
their denunciation.

There is little report of serious

Many families on Mckay creek moved
their bones to higher ground and

No Decoration Day.

Needless to say all plans for the
Decoration Day ceremonies have been
abandoned as a result of the flood.
No attempt was made by members Of
the G. A. r. to decorate the graves
in the cemetery, the veterans and the
public preferring to await more ia
vorable occasion. Also the forenoon
meeting arranged for the Frazer
theater was abandoned for the reason
that the flood furnished a stronger
attraction.
AS the Matlock grounds have been
flooded and surrounded by water the
only athletic meet possible this after
noon would be rowing race. The
meet has been given up entirely and
the athletes from Baker City will re-
turn as soon as railway connections
make such possible. The team from
La Grande was to reach here on No.
5 last night but as that train did not
come further west than La Grande,
the boys could not leave their homes.
