By comparing the records OF the
height of the Willamette river last
year and the height Friday it was
found that the river is one foot lower
now than it was one year ago Decem-
her 4. Lack of rain is the principal
cause. The steamers from down the
river report no difficulty in coming
up. Up river navigation, however. is
more difficult. The height of the
river last year on December was 30
feet above low water. The markings
Friday showed the water to be only 1.9
feet above. The precipitation OF rain
fall has been very little, not over 12
inches. Statesman
