COBURG DAM WASHED OUT
Mr. J. C. Goodale, of the Coburg sawmill, experienced a considerable loss Wednesday night about 11 o'clock by the central part of his mill dam, about 60 Ft. wide, washing out. The mill had just finished sawing the order for the new bridge of the Oregonian Railway across the Calapooia at Brownsville. It will cost several hundred dollars to make the necessary repairs which will be delayed until a lower stage of water. In the meantime Mr. Goodale will get an engine from the Eugene Iron Works and connect it with one already in use at the mill, thus securing power to continue work. No logs were lost, they being secured by a strong boom above the dam.
