SAY ONLY A

"This is a freak rain" said the
captain of the river steamer Po-
mona, on her arrival from Portland
Monday night. My barometer does
not show wet weather, and l look
for showers only for the next day or
two. Experience I'm this valley of a
number of years leads me to believe
that we will not get any great
amount of rain until good, lively
storm breaks. That time will come
soon, maybe in a few days but this
wet spell is not the time"
The stage of the Willamette is
very low, so low in fact, that it is
next to impossible for the river
steamers to get up stream as far as
Salem. The voyage now takes a full
day and half the night. Both the
Oregona and the Pomona have to
resort to every device known to in
land navigation to pull up against
the shallow current in 20 inches of
water on the rifles. Capstan bars,
steam-attached cables and poles
were used yestrday by the Pomona,
which repeatedly got fast in the
shoal places. This rain will help
some, though.
