ern California, will be held at Venice
from February % to "a, inclusive, and
the announcement of the new depart
ure Is being received with enthusiasm
by the smart set of Crescent Bay, Los

Similar affairs in eastern cities have
ranked among the greatest social

tions on the part of number of lead
ing society people, the winter circus
management has begun arrangements
for the function at the Venice auditor
ium.

is being constructed on the floor of the
auditorium and much of the big para

equipment of the big top" show and
the great arena is in readiness for the
event.
Washington's birthday, February %,

cities and Los Angeles.
The entire interior of the Tenice audi
torium is being divided into comfor-
table seats and boxes from which the
society folks can survey and admire the
equine aristocrats contingent to the
show.
Several of we'll known equestrinnes
have already declared a desire to
take part in some of the hurdle races
and other ring features, and conse-
quently the program promises to be one
of the most brilliant of any function
of its kind given.
The arrangements will be in the hands
of various committees to be appointed,
the committee on decorations compris-
ing some of the best known Southern
California society women and among
them several artists.
A promenade around the arena will
be one of the conspicuous features of
the arrangements. This will allow ac-
cess from box to box and seat to seat
and section to section without incon-
venience to those chair holders.
Palms, flowers colored lights and
streamers will be used for decorative
purposes.

PORTLAND, Ore, Feb. 5.-A rise of
several degrees in temperature, follow
ing an average snowfall of two or three
inches in the Willamette valley and as
many feet in the foothills. has caused
flood conditions in all streams in the
Willamette watershed. On Monday
night the big Santiam left it's banks at
Jefferson, flooded the lowlands and car
ried out the telegraph wires.
A continuation of the present warm
rains for another twentyfour hours, it
is feared, will cause a decided Feb
ruary flood" similar to that of 1890,
when the water entered the streets of
Portland and the current threatened to
carry out bridges and docks.

regard to the accident:
I'VE were going at half speed when
we struck The vessel listed over on
her side the moment we struck. l was
asleep at the time, but First Mate
Isaacson was on watch. Neither the
mate or myself could tell where we
were, owing to the fog. We could not
see ten feet ahead of us.
II at first thought it best that we
abandon the ship at once, but found
that would be impossible owing to the
high seas. 1 at last decided to remain
with the vessel and ordered the mem
bers of the crew to don life preservers
This was done and we then took shell
ter in the rigging.
Crew Sticks to Post
II do not know to what extent the
vessel is damaged, but think If we
can get her some place at once we
will be able to repair the damage with
very little expense.
THE men all stuck to their posts
bravely and kept their nerve at even
the most trying moments. We will
now remain with her until she Is
pulled off or goes to pieces. AS 1 said,
/ do not know how seriously the City
is damaged, so cannot tell whether she
will be able to stand the waves to-
night"
The National City was built about
twenty years ago for the coast trade.
She is vessel of 220 tons burden and
is valued at 900. She was fully in

The masts of the vessel are twisted

their movements. The funnel is also

Thnrnas Moore.

Measured by the popularity ana mar
ket value of his poems when they were
written. Thomas Moore has no rival
among the poets of ireland. While en-
gagged at his Irish melodies, in which he
was at his best-for they called forth
the powers in which he most eXcelled-
he was paid $500 Il year by his pub
fishers. Their immense and we'll merit
ed success induced LOngman to give
Moore 5000 guineas-the highest price
that had up to that time been paid for
a Doem-fOr "Lalla RoOkh,' the gor-
geous eastern romance which dazZled
and delighted readers of that day, but
is now rarely read. AS a lyric poet
Moore was, like Burns, one of the best
writers we have ever had of words
for music" and, in his case at least,
the words are inscparable from the
music. Goldsmith, poet of different
order and with a wholly different ex-
perience, got little popularity and less
money for his poetry, but in ''The TRAY
eller'' and 'The Deserted Village" he
has q better chance of Immortality than
his mpatriot-LOndon Tit-Bits.

Atmospheric Temperature.

The temperature of the atmosphere
cools on an average about 1 degree for
every 300 feet that we ascend or warns
at the same rate as we descend. The
mean temperature at the north pole is
0 and at the equator between 80 and
90 degrees. We can, therefore, get into
a temperature degree colder for every
seventy or eighty miles that we travel
north and in a temperature 1 degree
warmer for every seventy or eighty
miles that we travel south.
