MORE FLOOD PREDICTIONS.
What Pague Says Regarding It-Com-
Parison by YeaIs.

In spite of contrary predictions, Pague
insists we are to have food. He says
that it will reach the 26-foot mark at
least, in Portland, and that he wouldn't
be surprised if the cellars on Front
street were flooded in ten days.
The mercury has been gradually
climbing up in the Snake river country
during the past few daye. and as result
the Snake has risen two feet since the
warmer days set in. May weather at
80 and 100 degrees ia not unusual in that
part OF the country. If such weather
should prevail there from now on, the
Snake river would soon be as high as
the oldest inhabitant could remem Der
having seen 1t. This, however, does not
necessarily mean a flood. On the con
trary, it may prevent hJud
The Snake river usually goes on a
'tear" about two weeks earlier than the
Colum bia, and the fact that it is start
ing out first this year is reassurng.
The only trouble is it is late in the
season, and hot weather may set in any
day all over the country.
All reports received at the weather
bureau show that there is as muc.: enow
now in the mountains tributary to the
streams flowing into the Columbia as
there was April /, 1894. This snow
must pass off to the sea within the next
few weeks. and if it all decides to go at
about the same time there will be
trouble all along the river.
The river here this morning stood at
20 z, rise of nearly two feet since
yes: erday. The following comparisons
will no doubt prove interesting to our
readers, as they show the stage of the
river on May 18th for the past eight
years, and the date of the highest water
for those years:

Governor Geer is already receiving in

Our Guests.


The National Editorial Association has
beer extended an invitation to visit The
Dalles. and the Club, and our people
want to entertain them in a manner be-
fitting the visitors, and which will also
reflect credit upon our city.
The committee having the matter in
charge thought that as our citizens and
business men have always been go liberal
in the way of donations and subscrip-
tions that they would not aek them to
come forward again, but instead, will
give the general public chance to help,
at the same time giving them the value
of their money.
To that end, number of ladies and
gentlemen have volunteered their SER
vices, and an entertainment will he given
next Wednesday night at the vogt
opera house, the proceeds to be used in
ehowing the ''pencil pushing" fraternity
good time while here.
The opera house should be crowded,
as the cause is praiseworthy and pro-
greesive one, and the nature of the
evenings program is such as to please
everybody.
Prices have been fixed at 25c, SOC and
! 75c, and seats may be had Tuesday, the
18th at the snipes KinersIy drugstore.
