They Thought an Electric Light Was a
SDIrit.

They Thought Electric Light Was
Spirit.
The Bolivian government recently
attempted to establish telephone line
between Lapas and Lake Titicaca,
forty-fve miles apart, says the Wash
ington Star. 1t was torn down and de-
stroyed so frequently by the Indians
that the government was compelled to
abandon it. The electric light plant
in Lapas was preserved by adopting an
ingenious method of overawing the ma
tives. After the plant had been in
operation but few nights it happened
that there was an eclipse of the moon.
The superstitious Indians believed that
the electric light was absorbing or
swallowing the moon. They gathered
in a large body at one quarter of the
town and moved upon the plant to de-
stroy it. It was saved only by the in
tervention of a large body of troops.
The government the next day selected
several representative Indians, took
them to the power house, shocked them
severely, then took them out along the
line and shocked them again with the
wires and informed them that the cleo
trio light was an evil spirit and that
they had better leave it alone. Since
then they have had no trouble on that
score.

a False Report.

Owing to refusal of the dock owners
and lessees in permitting The Dalles,
Portland and Astoria Navigation COM
pany's steamer Dalles City the privilege
to land at any of the wharves, she is
unable to carry any of the freight offered
to or from -Goldendale
Courier.
The above is mistake, as the D. P.
and A. N. Co.'s steamer lands passengers
and freight in the morning and also in
the afternoon each day without hind
rance at Vancouver. The Courier should
be more careful in giving credence to
every informant, as, in cases like the
foregoing, an injury is done.

equal number and had to draw lots.
Booth drew the lucky straw and re-

BEFORE APRIL l,
Year Height D

The public can gauge their opinion
relative to high water, by the tempera-
ture condition from now on. If the
temperature should be high, or even
normal, higher water may occur from
June 10th to July 10th than if the tenn
perature should remain below the nor
NAL. In any event it is perfectly safe to
say that the river. at Portland, will be
by June Goth, up to the 22-foot mark on
the river gauge at the foot of Stark
street, and may be higher.
The Columbia is rising rapidly, hav-
ing gained nearly eight inches last
night, and all the experienced river men
here predict the highest water known
for 20 years. B. s. PAGUE,

The Columbia VIII Probably Be the
Highest Record This Year.

The following is circular of informa-
tion concerning probable flood in the
Columbia and tributary rivers from the
date of May I1th.
A circular letter was issued from this
Office on April 29th, and sent out to per-
sons living in the mountain sections of
Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Mon
tana, which are drained by the Column
bia, Snake, and tributary rivers, asking
for information concerning the amount
of snow now in the mountains and the
probabilities for June rise in the
rivers. The letters were most thoroughly
and intelligently answered, and from
every correspondent came about the
same reply, towit: ''The snowfall the
past winter has been heavier than it has
been for many years. At the present
time the snow is melting in the lower
foothills but several feet yet remain
higher up where, at this date in May, it
is usually bare. The small streams are
rising rapidly, and all persons in this
vicinity anticipate high water"
The cool, cloudy season has been very
favorable to high water, but no serious
flood, but the snow in the foothills has
commenced to melt and it is flowing to
the sea gradually, though already filling
the smaller streams bank full. A con-
tinuation of temperature below the
normal to June 18th, which is hardly
possible, will, to great extent, lessen
the height of the water; should a warm
period occur, the snow will be melted
more rapidly, and in that event a more
severe flood would occur. There is yet
an immense amount of snow in the Cas-
cade and Coast ranges of mountains, and
this is liable to melt when the Colum bia
rises, in which event the probable flood
condition in the Willamette, at Port
land, would be intensified. 1t should
be borne in mind by all those liable to
be affected that the snow conditions now
in the mountains make flood possible
and that flood will probably occur.
The following statement of the height
of the Willamette at Portland in feet
and inches since 1878 viii in this con-
nection prove to be interesting. The
rise from January to April is due to the
conditions existing almost entirely in
the Willamette valley, and the rise from
May to July is almost entirely from the
rise in the Columbia and consequent
backwater in the Willamette.
