Once more the country along the
| Umatilla and other portions of east
ern Oregon are threatened with
flood as a result of the chinook that
has been on during the day. From
all directions come reports that the
snow is melting with a rush and the
streams are already rising fast But
ter creek is higher than ever known,
while Birch and Mckay are both very
high. The Umatilla is now rising
steadily and at 3 O'Clock was at the
So mark on the Main street bridge
gauge.
As usual the Chinook struck the
high places first and consequently
there is danger of the water from
the mountains reaching this place
while the river is high from the
freshet Of the immediate vicinity. 1t
is feared by many that the city may
experience some high water similar
to that of last spring, in which case
the new levee will be put to thor
ough test. With the levee as at pres
ent there is little danger unless the
water comes down in an unprece-
dented torrent or debris should be
lodged against the railroad bridge in
such way as to create a dam at that
place.
The following reports from over
the county show the progress of the
chinook during the day:
From Pilot Rock.
That the chinook is on in earnest
in the section south of here is shown
by reports received from that region
today. Mr.. Chapman, phone agent at
Pilot Rock, reported at l o'clock that
the temperature was about so above
zero at that place and that the snow
was then fast melting. Birch creek
was raging and threatening the
bridges, especially those this side the
rock. The bridge at the mouth of
Stewart creek was flooded, the water
being reported four feet deep upon
the same.
This morning the Pendleton- Ukiah
stage passed through Pilot Rock and
is said to have gotten through to Nye.
However, the Pendleton- bound stage
is delayed at the rock and will prob
