Centralia Chronicle (Newspaper) - January 30, 1890, Centralia, WashingtonVol. 1. Cbntra1ia, Lewis. County Washington thursday january no. 31. The Crent flood of 01-9. From Hie Portland Orego Nimi _ we Are having lots of said Godell of Tibbett e addition East Portland As a reporter was walk ing along the Southern Pacific Railroad on the East Side the other Day. If the storm keeps Baid or. Godell a flood similar to the memorable one of 01-02 it ill Likely be the i was living in the Little town of Champoeg in Marion county at the time and remember the disastrous no vember As though it were but yesterday. Champoeg was then a promising and growing place of from two to three Hun dred inhabitants and was popularly known As the half Way station being on the route of the old stage line before the Southern roads were built and was just Twenty five Miles from either port land or Salem. Preceding the flood the Snow for Miles in Valley and on the mountains had fallen to the average depth of one foot. Suddenly the temperature began to Rise until it was so warm As the month of May and men would go about with their Coats off. About Twenty four hours before the River began to Rise the rain throughout the Valley poured Down in torrents and together with the Aid of a warm Chinook wind soon reduced the heavy Snow to Rivers of running water swept Down the of the mountains into the Williamette. The River being narrow in some places not More than a Quarter of a mile from Bank to comparatively Small Channel was inadequate to carry away the immense sur plus of water which rapidly Rose Over the Low sloping Banks and in a few hours Arnott every Trace of enterprising Chain by the waiting people was Only equated by the which they returned for More. This eagerness to receive mail this dependence upon its prompt arrival for Prosperity and personal gratification May be said to be world wide. An industrious statistician has busied himself recently in collecting figures in connection with the postal business of the world and a result of his labors lie presents an array of Fig ures the Conception of which is almost impossible. It tells us for example that during the year 188o, almost Bis billions of letters passed through the mails of the civilized world and when he adds to this a billion of postal cards nearly five billion newspapers and a Hundred Mil lion packages of merchandise he leaves us with a confused idea that the postal business of the world compares with nothing in its immensity except the sidereal heavens As revealed through the researches of the astronomer. Among the facts More easily compre hended however Are those which give the comparative use of which different nations and countries make of postal facilities. Thus the assertion then that Australia makes the largest use of these of any continent on the Globe is under stood when we Are further told that this use amounts to Twenty four letters cards papers and parcels received annually by even inhabitant of that coun try. America sends More than half As Many mail packages As the whole of Europe though her population is relatively much smaller. Asia sends comparatively a Small number while the record for Africa is loss than one mail package a year for every seven inhabitants of the continent. To handle the brought about by such fluctuations of temperature. No single person can have Access to the International prototypes As Tho Cave is locked up by three different keys in the hands of As Many individuals and Ever receivable precaution has been taken to keep them inviolable. The standards distributed to the various governments Are tested by the International prototypes and the same care will be akan to preserve them unaltered As is deemed necessary for the International Pong was washed away by the angry requires not less than a roaring current.
