AT that time she married and found
herself stepmothcr to two boys of 10
and $. After her marriage she travelled
in Ceylon, China and Japan Her life
there probably had strong influence
in forming her character and opinions.
After five or six years abroad Mrs.
Grand returned TO England, and after
several years wrote ideals, her first
printed novel. Some people prefer
this book, which was printed at the
authors expense, to the Heavenly
Twins" Two years We're spent in
writing the latter one, and three years
were necessary TO find publisher
sufficiently courageous to take the risk
and responsibility of its production.
Mrs. Grand's personality is said to be
charming.

TACOMA, WASH, June 4.-Ninety-
five miles of Northern Pacific track,
between Horse Plains, Mon, and Hope,
Ida., are under Water. Definite flood
news was received late in the night on
the arrival of three detained Northern
Pacific overland trains. Colonel F. D.
Huestis, the railroad builder, was a
passenger. He says the water was still
rising when the train left Hope. Hun
dreds of the farms along Clark's fork,
never visited before, are under from 4
to 6 feet Of water. Settlers rushed to
the highlands, hut hundreds of cattle
and horses were drowned. Several
bridges have been washed away.
Overland traffic on the Great North
ern is suspended on account of a great
washout west Of Great Falls, Mon.
The Canadian Pacific began trans
ferring passengers by steamer on the
Fraser river from Nuby to Mission, a
distance of 35 miles. Between these
two points there are bad washouts.

VANCOUVER, B. c., June 4.-The
Fraser river is still rising. When dark
ness came on, the flood during the day
had gained another inch at Westmin-
ster, 3 inches at Mission and 4 inches at
Langley. At Chilliwaciet, the food
gained 6 inches, inundating large area
of land. The work of rescue continues.
though nearly all Of the imperriled set
tiers and as many Of their cattle and
horses as remained alive have now been
carried to places of safety. :.
Funds are being raised and provisions
collected for the homeless settlers. The
hot weather continues and great depth
Of snow still remains il the mountains.
There is every indication that the river
will rise much higher. At Yale the
flood is rushing through the canon at
the rate Of 10 miles an hour. There is
little prospect of the railroads resuming
traffic for several days. Telegraphic
communication is also shut off most Of
tho time.

A Caucus May BE Called to Agree on a
state Bank Bill.
WASHINGTON, June 4.-The outlook
for the week in the house of representa-
tlves is so much in doub bt that d Demo-
cratic caucus may be necessary to
agree on a plan of action. The state
bank question has teen debated until
the leaders are anxious for a vote. But
the detate has shown the state tank
mon that they are liable to be defeated
by inability to agree >on any one of the
many plans discussed. AS the state
bank principle was incorporated in the
Democratic national PLATFORM. the
leaders are 10th to see the bill defeated,
SO that caucus may be called for the
purpose of formulating party measure
which will command united support.
Il Isl probable that the final vote On the
bill will lie taken early in the week, un-
less t. be whole question is allowed to go
over until a caucus committee can
frame satisfactory bill.

PORTLAND, Or, June At has been
busy day in Portland. All day long
merchants in the flooded districts have
been moving out goods or raising them
on platforms above the water. The
river continues to expand every hour
and the situation becomes more peril
Gus. The weather has become cooler
here, but no reports could be had from
Eastern Oregon and Washington, the
source OF all the flood. Telegraph
wires north and east are down and it is
impossible to obtain any news of the
situation along the Columbia river.
The river here is 81 feet above low
water, and every 24 hours adds to it
from to 10 inches. Three-fourths of
the wholesale district is under water
from to 10 feet and the water is fast
approaching upon the best part of the

the city has been hired and boatmen re-
ceive from 81 to SIS per hour for serv-
ices. The Western Union Telegraph
company's Office is surrounded by six
feet of water.
On the west side of the river the wa
ter extends almost to Washington
street, within one block of The Oregon
ian building. The water has reached
the first floor of Lipman & Wolff's, the
largest dry goods store in the city. On
the East side many of the elev ated
roadways leading to the river are sa b.
merged and the Madison street bridge

Only Bridge Open to Traffic.
A rise of six inches more will shut off
the gas supply of the city. The Union
depot is two feet under water and the
Union Pacific car shops in Albina are
surrounded by five feet. The Southern
Pacific is the only railroad running trains
into Portland and they are compelled
to stop at the south end of the city, be-
ing unable to reach either depots. The
