WASHINGTON, May Ex-senator
Hill has notified Senator Dubois that
he intends to put lead ore on the free
list and that he will attack the posi-
tion of the senate finance committee
in levying duty OF OF cent per
pound on that article. Senator
Hill says that in the last congress
the house, overwhelmingly democratic,
passed bill for free lead ore, and yet
the senate committee disregards this
and places a duty upon the ore. Some
members of the finance committee say
they know that the intention of the
New York senator is to place them in
position of embarras sment.

FLOOD IN THE COLUMBIA,
High Water Record Beaten-Railroad
Traffic Suspended

PORTLAND, Ore, May 3O-All high
water records were beaten here at o'clock
this afternoon when the river reached 2S 8
feet above low water mark. Reports from
the upper Columbia are such that a rise of
at least thirty feet above low water is ex-
pected.
Union Pacific mails and passengers due
here yesterday have not yet arrived. The
Northern Pacific is open from st. Paul to
Keleo. At the latter place the train due
here last night was put on the huge trans
fer boat Tacoma which brought it to this
city by water, q distance of fifty miles.
The boat arrived this evening and imme.
diately returned with passengers to kelso.
The Union Pacific cannot get west OF
Umatiila The Union Power company
was compelled to close down during the
afternoon, seriously Gripping the street
Car service here.
From the lower Columbia intelligence
comes that operations have ceased at
nearly Gil of the salmon canneries aud that
fishing has been suspended and much dam :
age IS feared. Among the farmers living
along the river bad state of affairs is re-
ported. A great many houses and barns
are afioat. mOored to the banks. and their
owners are fearful that the current will
carry them away Thus far no serious
losses have occurred.
The latest news from the upper Column
bia is OF favorable nature. At Ripaeza
the river has fallen one foot. AT Umatilla
there is Il rise of four inches.

VANCOUVER, B. c., May 30.-Frazer
river has become raging torrent and Is
dealing destruction and death at every
point. and where a few days ago waving
fields of growing grain met the eye there
is now but waste of water. Whole herds
of cattle and hocks of sheep have been
dro wned in the rushing food. W.
villages on the banks of the streams are
floating. So far eight human lives are
known to have been lost. At Langley the
hotel was washed from its foundation.
The entire town is flooded. -Four Indians
who were trying to rescue some cattle,
were drowned.
The dead bodies OF three men and n
little girl were found at Hatztic prairie,
entangied among floating trees. Many
other bodies were reported as having been
seen in the streams in other localities. but
SO terrible is the current, that all attempts
to rescue them prove futile.
At Morris steamers sail right across
where farms used to be. Farmers are
taking passage on steamers and bringing
their families here.
The towns of Chilliwack, Harrison and
Centerville have been almost entirely ill.,
undated and it has been with difficulty
that the Inhabitants escaped with their
lives. The damage done TO the Canad ian

SLIM SALARIES.
The Kind Of Pay Upon Which Some Meth
odist Preachers Must Live.

y
Methodist preachers are proverb.elfy
an i'll paid lot, and they always feel
that the phrase las poor as church
mouse" applies with peculiar fitness to
them. 1t is one of the denomina TONS
frequent assertions, however, that its
WORK is largely among the poor people,
who cannot afford to give their pas.
tors large salaries. In the old days
when living was cheap the salaries
were really not so small in proportion
to the living expenses as they are
now. Then Methodist parson with a
salary of four hundred dollars could, if
he had a country pastorate, live COM
fortably, keep horse, send his nine or
ten children to school and manage to
lay by penny for rainy day. There
are plenty of the ''old stagers' left
among the Methodist preachers who
went through those times, and who
are now living frugally on the amount
which they laid by. Salaries among
the Methodists have advanced some
what, but they are still extremely low.
The country parsons look upon their
city brethren as rolling in wealth and
luxury, yet not a single Methodist pas
tor even in New York city receives as
high salary as five thousand dollars a
year. This seems Incredible, but. ac-
cording to the New York Tribune, it is
O fact, though it must be remembered
that a parsonage is almost always pro-
vided and is furnished in some way or
other, comforta BILE or uncom Portable.
1t is not until one comes to the coun-
try districts that the really meager sal.
aries are found. The case of the
preacher who applied for full connec-
ton with the recent conference at
Brooklyn is still fresh. Somebody got
up and said that tho applicant owed
money, and SO ought not to be allowed
TO come in. Then q committee found
out that the man had only three hun
dred dollars year salary; that out OF
this sum ne had to support himself and
keep horse, and On Sundays had to
ride thirty or forty miles to preach.
They decided to let him in. It is some.
times the case that rhe country preach
er's salary 10 ebed out by q do
nation" from his kind-hearted parish
toner's. They flock to the parsonage in
body some night, bring enough sand
witches and cakes and pies and cider to
enjoy themselves thoroughly, turn the
house upside down. leave a few clothes,
provisions and, perhaps, q little money,
and then go home with the impression
that they have provided a winters
supply of food for the dominie's fam.
fly, and have done altogether the neat
thing.
