A FEW ESTIMATED LOSSES.
Merchants and Property Owners
Hard Hit but Not DoWncast.

J. R. Good & Co. are probably the
largest individual losers in the city.
They place their loss at $2S, 900.
Lippitt Bros. come next. Their loss is
estimated at $4,000. The goods in the
basement of the main store, consisting
largely OF groceries and provisions, we're
placed in the warehouse in the rear,
standing on a solid stone wall and
thought to be safe, but the high water
lifted it and carried it to destruction as
though toy.
Simon Dreifus & Co. ars heavy losers.
Their loss is estimated at between $2,-
900 and $4,000. THIS does not include
the immense stock OF hardware in their
warehouse in the north end, which, at
this writing, cannot be reached and the
damage is net known. 1t cannot fail to
be considerable. The water was 26
inches deep in the store on Main street
The Hamilton drug store was hard hit
by the water and slickens. The estimated
loss is $4,000.
NJ. A. Rose, jeweler, says his loss will
be between $4,000 and $4,000. Every
thing was thought to be above possible
high water, but the mark was badly
missed.
Kings book store held 80 inches OF
water and the loss will reach $1,000.
Gerber's meat market was not dam

Telephone Service Restored

The telephone company is entitled to
thanks for the effort made to restore SER
vice, which was done Wednesday night.
Scores OF people from outside points
we're anxious to communicate with
friends here, and vice versa. Manager
Shilling posted a notice stating that all
could talk over the phone, money or no
money. The phone Office is up stairs
over the savings bank. The Office down
stairs looks like drowned rat.
The Colfax gazette. [volume] (Colfax, Wash.) 1893-1932, 1910-03-04

red much, albeit he had a quantity OF
meat on hand. He places his loss at
$3.50.
Huntley Brothers are hard hit. Their
loss will probably reach $4,000.
Kimbrough's grocery store is damaged
to the extent Of $500.
The Great Eastern is damaged to the
extent OF $4,000 Siickens covered the
floors and the store presented disas-
trous aspect.
Shirley L CHASER, jewelers., say their
loss will be between $500 and $4,000.
Valuable and beautiful goods were left in
the show windows, they thinking there
could be no possibility of the water COM
ing that high, but the goods remain in
the window and present sorry sight.
Show cases seemed to have been playing
hide and-seek in the playful glee Of the
waters.
The Whitehouse Clothing Co. say they
are damaged $4,000.
Smiths bakery sustained a loss of
$3.50.
j. W. Poteet's confectionery store was
badly wrecked. The water rose to AZ
feet in depth, throwing goods, counters
and cases into all shapes and conditions.
Mr.. Poteet says his loss will reach $500.
Forty-one inches of water filled the
building Of the Colfax Implement Co.
81. M. Moffatt, manager, places the loss
at $4,000. 1t was full of beautiful car
riages OF all kinds, besides machinery,
which is covered with slickens, presenting
a spectacle OF DETACHMENT that no amount
OF paint and varnish can cover up.
Fred S. Ratliff & Co. lost their entire
exhibit and most OF their pictures, al
though care had been taken to place
everything table high above the floor,
thinking it safe there. Like all the rest
Fred made big miscalcuation, and now
mourns particularly the loss of his ex-
hibit. Water covered the floor five feet
in depth.
Barroll & Mohney, dealers in hard
ware, estimate their loss at $4,000.
R. K. Squibb says bis loss will reach
$4,000.
An estimate of the damage done must
OF necessity be largely a guess. The
Gazette's guess puts the local loss at half
million dollars.

In the North End.
The appearance OF things in the north
eud beggars description. Rubbish OF
every kind. piled in unshapely heaps, meet
the gaze. The O. R. & n. depot, appar-
emily, is the only thing in the path OF
the food that was not submerged. The
wreckage OF the Inland depot lies near
the first named depot. All families in
that part OF town we're compelled to
leave their bones. Over 100 are tenn
porarily stopping in the North Ward
school building, living on crackers and
cheese or anything they can get.
0 R. & n. tracks west will have to be
rebuilt. The Inland is in the same pre-
dicament. The Inland bridge across the
South Palouse was undermined at the
south end and dropped to terra firma.
Possibly it may be raised into place. The
0. R. & n. bridge just below is a wreck.
The county bridge near the fair ground,
a new steel structure, and the Inland
bridge just above, are both gone.
Whitman county's fair grounds are
completely ruined. The pavilion was
wrecked, part of it lying across the race
track, or, more strictly speaking, where
the race track once was. The grand
stand aud the stables are the only things
that remain.

over all nature. as if beckOning man on
and upward. The food waters in the
north end bad greatly receded. showing
the appalling conditions of things in
that part of town. Immense wreckage
had accumulated under and around the
bridge facing the court house on Main
street, under which the South Palouse
flows, and to get that out so the water
could have free onward course was en-
gaging the attention of a large number
OF men with teams. With block and
and tackle they were hauling timbers
aud rubbish OF all kinds out by piece
meal, it being surprising the amount of
stun which had accumulated. Those en-
gagged in the work were business men,
professional men and citizens generally,
including county officials, who were Civ
ing their services in a patriotic desire to
restore order out of chaos. In this con-
nectiOn it should be stated that the in
mates Of the county jail were brought
out and set to work, and be it said to
their credit no one worked harder than
they did.

The Gazette Has Its Troubles.

The Gazette comes out this week
under adverse conditions There be-
ing no power to run the press it has
to be done by hand, which is slow and
laboriOus. This, in part, accounts for
the paucity of news and the leaving
out OF advertisements.

COLFkx DEVASTATED BY FLOOD

not having time to move much. Several
narrow escapes are recorded.
Looking to the north a vast expanse
was spread out. housetops above water,
but wreckage of all kinds piled in huge
heaps, reminder OF the great damage
that had been done. The Inland depot
was gone. the Farmers warehouse had
been twisted out of shape, several dwell
ings were missing, the scene was one OF
desolation. The court house and the
beautiful Norway naples stood like an
island in the sea, it seeming to be the
only peaceful abode in that end of town.
The main current of the stream had
veered to the west, hitting with full force
the Inland depot and the Farmers ware
house. Another wild current was run
ming down Lake street into Perkins ave,
nue., everything being under or surround
ed by water.
