PENDLETON, Ore, June 7.-One of

feelings toward the other heirs 1t is
supposed to have been written about a
month before his death and to some of
the other heirs. In the letter Mrs.

The letter in part is as follows:

VANCOUVER, Wash, June T.
The Columbia river continues to rise,
it's water standing at 17.5 at o'clock
this morning. 1t has steadily risen at
the rate of one inch an hour today.
The water rose two feet at Stevenson
since yesterday. At this city it is ex-
pected to reach a height of % by
Tuesday.
If the regular June rains occur at
the head quarters of the Snake and
Columbia rivers, the flood this year
will be greater than that of 1894, ac-
cording to calculations of those who
are familiar with the subject in this
vicinity If nothing more than the
usual melting SHOWS arg had, 25 feet
is expected to be the limit. In this
event the river will stand from % to
