COLUMBIA AT A STAND
A Further Rise Not Now Ex-
pected.
REPORTS FROM FRASER RIVER
The Greatest Flood Since the Year
6--Immense Damage at
Many Points.

The greatest of all Columbia's floods
attained its maximum height at mid
night. Such was the opinion of Wealth
er Observer Pague, who has watched II
closely during the past two weeks. The
rise of Tuesday night was but three
tenths of foot, bringing it, at a. m.i
to the 1928 mark. Up to late hour last
night the 33-foot mark was still little
above the water line. 1t is the topmost
notch marked on the government gauge
at the foot of Stark street, and 1t looks
very much as If it will be the highest
notch reached. Observer Pague does not
say positively that the maximum point
has been reached, but that 1t is hardly
probable the 33-foet mark will be
passed. His opinions are based on the
fact that the Upper Columbia and Will
lamette are falling quite rapidly, and
cool weather prevails in regions where
floods originate. The morning gauge
reading at Umatilla, taken at II o'clock,
was 34.3 feet, showing a fall Of 2 dur
ing the preceding "a hours. On the
Snake river at Riparia, a fall of 20
inches was recorded
The readings on the Upper Wallam-
cite at 8 a. m. yesterday were: Albany,
99 feet, and alem SO feet, Indicating a
fall of Z at the former place and A at
the latter Cool weather prevails at
points up the valley, and there is no
prospect Of higher water at present,
1t was ON May 2S about 10 days ago,
that the weather bureau first called the
attention of the public to the fact that
high water might be expected. The
river then stood at 25 feet above the
low water mark. While a rapid rise was
think that the outlook was at all alarm
ing. Then came an unexpected term of
hot weather which lasted three days
and turned every mountain stream into
a torrent. The Columbia and its tribu-
taries rose rapidly, until May 81 the
river at this poiNt,reaehed. a height Of
2S.7 feet, the highest on record. Dur
ing the past ewek the Willamette has
been steadily rising, until the entire
wholesale and nine-tenths of the retail
districts are submerged, and the water
stands from to feet deep on Wash
ington, Morrison and Third streets. AS
the flood now stands 1t is AZ feet higher
than the notable flood of 1876. and 4.S
feet higher than that of 1890, which was
considered the highest on record.-Yes-

6.43 miles per hour, the swiftest ever
known at that point The swamp dis
trict, where all the mills are, is COM
pletely under water. The fires under the
boilers at the electric power house were
put out last night, and a fire engine is
employed pumping, in order to keep the
water below the furnaces. Many now
believe that the farms Of the Fraser
valley have not been so seriously dam
aged as at first supposed, and that the
ranchers will be able to raise crops this
season in the flooded lands. AT West
minister the flow OF water still covers
the Great Northern along the south side
Of the river. In the Canadian Pacific
yards the tracks are over three feet
under water. 1t is now believed the
Canadian Pacific Company's loss will
be nearly 81, 100000, The passengers who
were started east by the Canadian Pa
cific Sunday have returned, having been

UNION PACIFIC DAMAGES.
Three Months VIII Be Required to Re-
build and Repair the Track.


1t has been estimated by railroad men
at Tacoma that the damage done by
floods throughout the northwest will be
in the neighborhood OF $5.OOOOOO. Supt
Baxter, Of the Union Paciflc's Pacific d.
vision, is quoted as saying that II
would take 80 days to rebuild the 90
miles of track washed out between
Troutdale and The Dalles. It is thought
1t will take the Great Northern and
Canadian Pacific month or SO to fully
repair their tracks and the Northern
Pacific nearly as long
Supt. Bancroft, of the mountain divi-
sion of the Union Pacific road returned
to Salt Lake June 6 from the flooded
regions along the Snake and Columbia
rivers In Idaho, Washington and Ore
gon. He reports that the damage is
simply incalculable. The water cannot
be controlled and will continue to rise
for some days, as there is an immense
amount Of snow In the mountains and
at the heads of the tributaries to the
rivers named.

REPAIRING THE DAMAGE.

The people are now bringing their
minds to bear regarding the means by
Which the misfortunes of the settlers
may as speedily as possible be repaired
Public works of very great magnitude
in the way of dikes must be begun with
as little delay as possible. The highest
water previously recorded was in the
year 1882, and that record was every
where regarded as the maximum height
to which 1t was expected the water
would ever reach. This record having
been obllterated by the experience of
this year, the water having risen from
20 to IS inches higher than in 1882, 1t is
manifest that the whole scheme Of dix
ing these lands must be built higher by
at least two feet and the extra height
must be strengthened by widening at
least eight feet additional the base OF
all the dikes. The general character OF
the dllSes, too, must be strengthened In
many places by substantial piling, and
possibly in some instances by masonry
being completed, an expenditure OF
many hundreds of thousands OF dollars.
The work to be undertaken Is OF such
magnitude and Importance to the coun-
try at large that 1t becomes a matter OF
national concern. The various boards of
trade Of the province are at present en-
gagged in drawing up petitions to the
federal government at Ottawa, pointing
out the absolute necessity Of large
and immediate appropriation of funds
for the prosecution Of the new dildng
scheme.
Methods of communication are in such
a demoralized condition that 1t is as yet
impossible to estimate the loss of life or
damage to property A number Of
bodies have been recovered, and 1t is
known that many persons have been
drowned. Victoria, Vancouver and
Nanaimo are the only towns in British
Columbia not affected by the high
water.
The steamer Skagit Chief has been
chartered by the Canadian Pacific Rail-
way Company to go to Ruby creek and
load a cargo of perishable freight and
passengers for Sound ports All the
available steamers on the Fraser river
have been pressed into service by the
government to assist the settlers in the
flooded district. The straits OF Juan de
Fuca are full Of driftwood brought down
by the freshets, making navigation by
small craft somewhat hazardous.

A careful analysis of the vote will show

it is a great victory for the Republican

from Washington, D. c., says: Full
knowledge Of the Republican victory In
Oregon was no6 obtained until today,
and has been the theme Of discussion all

the press dispatch giving the facts Of
the victory. Dolph stated that the Dem

holdovers. There was general rejoicing
on the Republican side. DoIph was
warmly congratulated. The Democratic
senators sat silent and disgusted. Ore

that the state has repudlated Populism
