The Fraser rl\er Is still rising , nnd the Indications are that the flood will be even more disastrous than the great flood of 1SS2. The rl\cr has already risen tolthln eight inches of the high water mark of that great Inundation. Though the \vhole valley U under water , teh Fraser having spread out Into a vast lake , the tide Is , crawling up at the rate of an Inch every tluee hours. At Nv\ West minster the river wharves are submerged. .Many cabins along the watei front ha\e floated oft on the tide , and many root fam ilies have lost all their belongings. Points further up the river report Increasing dan ger. At Nlcomcn Islam ! fortj-ftmr fine farms are entirely under water. Though much live stock has norlshcd , but eight human lives are Known to have been lost. No further fatalities are reported today. Annacls island , two miles above New Westminster , Is totally submerged. Many fine faims formerly dotted the island. The ranchers were rescued by steamboats , but all their stock has gone down the river. All the ilver stcum > rs have been commissioned by the government to service In securing the Imperiled persons. In the vicinity of Huhy the greatest danger lb apparent , and several steamers have he n ill-patched to that district. The maiks of the great flood of 1882 have already been passed. The Fra/er river has ti&en three Inches at Westminster during the past twenty-four hours and Is still rising. At North Bend the water Is a foot above the mark of the great floods of 1882. As the \varm weather con tinues and there is Etlll a large amount of snow In the mountains the river may bo expected to rise much higher. Steamers arc still busily engaged In rescuing settlers and cattle. An Idea ot the depth of the water may be gathered from the fact that a steamer drawing six feet of water passed over several Islands In the center of the channel of the river. Last night the water reached fourteen Inches over the Central Pacific tracks near Mission and no trains were dispatched today. No mall has been received hero for eight days. A fund has been started here to assist settlers who ha\e lost their all by the floods. It is no uncom mon sight now to Bee houses and barns floating down the river. Reports of the drowning of some Indians have been re ceived , but cannot be verified. IJO.VT.S SUCCKKU ICAIMIOADS. Trackft Into Portland Under Water nml loi\tn ! the Means of Communication. PORTLAND , Ore. , May 31. No trains have arrived from the east over the Union Pacific slnco last Saturday. The company has put on boats at Umatllla , , but Is experiencing great difficulty in making portages at The Dalles nnd Cascade. Telegraph communica tion along the Columbia Is cut oft to Uma- tllla and the only means of reaching eastern Oregon and Washington is by a circuitous route. Miles of the Union Pacific track along the Columbia Is washed out , nnd It will probably bo more than a week before another train reaches this city over that route. The Northern Pacific managed to keep passengers and malls moving by press ing Into service the largo transfer boat used at Kalama. The Southern Pacific has expe rienced only slight delays. The northern part of the city , back as far as Ninth street , Is a vast lake , and business In the whole sale district Is entirely suspended. The absence - sonco of any current in the Willamette river makes navigation by boats \cry easy , and hundreds of small boats are being used along Front , First and Second streets from Alder street to the north end. The river was at a standstill at 3 p. m. A telephone message from the assistant RO\eminent engineer at the Cascade Locks states that the bulkhead is leaking , but ho iloes not think that It nil ! go out nor that any serious damage Is likely to bo done. The damage to the Union Pacific track be tween Portland nnd Umntllla will , It Is thought , reach Into the hundreds of thou sands. Great damage has been done to farmers living along the Columbia river In the loss af stock and crops. In the city but little lamago has thus far resulted. Owing to the slow and gradual rising of the water , mer- 2hantH had ample time to get their goods jut of the way. The latest Intelligence from ; ho upper Columbia region was that the river at Umatlllo and Rlparla was statlon- iry. It la generally believed that the water n this city 1ms about reached Us extreme lelght. Its subsidence will bo very slow iwlng to the largo arm over which the water a spread. The Western Union tonight lost ill wires to the north and Seattle and racoma are totally cut off as far as tele- is concerned. Twenty ; r ] > lilc communication miles of poles along the Columbia are : overed by water and It will probably bo a veck before they can bo repaired. 1 limited by n Ilrokrn Hum. MINNEAPOLIS. May 31.
