Silt Deposited by Water
After Floods Along Creek

Now that the Butter creek flood has
subsided the ranchers are taking stock
Of the damage and judging from all
reports the principal damage was done
to their fields boy silt being deposit
ed on them
In the lower Butter creek country
the water reached from hill to hill
covering the flat about three feet
deep As this water reeeded It left
from an inch to three inches Of black
silt an over ths fields. This silt is a
very good fertilizer. and the ultimate
effect of the deposit will be good al
though it may mean a present loss
The largest loss was experienced by
the Western Land & irrigation Co
Damage to ditches and canals is esti-
mated at about $4,000.
Bridges across Butter creek in the
lower district all stood the flood very
well. Most of them were from three
to four feet under water during the
height Of the flood, but none OF them
went out.
All the stock in the flooded district
were taken to high ground SO that
there was no loss along that line The
residents Of that section who were
affected by the flood are Ralph stan.
field. Walden Rhea, J. r Hinkle,
Gillette Bros. Peter sheridan and w.

will probably cover the loss to any

MAY LOWER
GRAIN RATE

There is a possibility that the now
famous decision Of the interstate COM
merce commission giving Astoria
common point rates along with the
sound cities and Seattle may result in
a lowering of the freight charges on
wheat from Umatilla county TO Port
land.
No such reduction is called for in
the decision but 1t is thought by some
to be an inevitable outcome. Under
the commerce commissions ruling AS
toria is given the same rate as Port
land, Seattle and Tacoma In other
words it will be possible TO ship wheat
from Umatilla county to Astoria as
cheap as TO Portland via the Northern
Pacific. Under such conditions il
would be natural for the wheat to go
to Astoria, thus saving ocean ships
rom making the 100 mile run up the
river.
