150 Years 1872-1886 The Dalles THE DECADES OF HISTORY PART TWO OF THE DALLES CHRONICLE'S TEN-PART SERIES. March 30, 2007 page 5 NEWSPAPER FLOODED OUT THE FLOOD - As we stated last week, the water commenced receding on Thursday afternoon. The entire raise was about sixty feet above low water mark, and two feet nine inches above the highest water of 1862. The water has been about five feet in our office, and as we left nearly all of our material, only taking sufficient to get out our paper with, our loss must be considerable. On Wednesday afternoon we visited the office and found about one foot of water still on the floor, and cases were lying around upon the floor and floating in the water, and our Gordon job press looked like it had been through the wars. Our loss, no doubt, will amount to several hundred dollars, which, however, when compared to that of some of our neighbors, is trifle. We feel somewhat discouraged at our bad luck, but don't intend to cry over it. Had we known that the water was going to come up so high, we should undoubtedly have removed all of our material; but as we didn't, we must suffer the consequences; and as the old song says: What can't be cured.Must be endured.
