MELTING SHOWS
CAUSE FLOODS IN
WESTERN OREGON
Willamette River Is on
Rampage and Lowlands
Flooded = Danger From
Lower Columbia.

Portland, Feb. s.---Warm weather
along the upper Columbia has caused
the ice to break up and the deep SHOWS
in that section to start melting and the
flood in the Willamette and Columbia
river valleys took on new danger last
night. Rain continues ana more is
predicted. The snow is melting rap
idly and it was predicted here Tuesday
night that the Willamette river would
be II feet above zero by Wednesday
night. Zero is 20 feet.
The Willamette river at Eugene AL
bany and jefferson, Ore, is above
flood stage from a foot to eight feet
and the Yamhill river at McMinnville
is within six feet of flood stage. At
Albany the Willamette has reached
27.7 feet. The flood stage is 20.
At Oregon City the Willamette is al
most a foot above flood stage and
Tuesday the canal locks there were
out of commission on account of the
floods Several river steamboats, are
tied up on account of the floods at
Salem and at Portland. Warehouse
docks along the river front in Portland
are hourly menaced and freight and
cargo are being removed to upper
floors to forestall damage.
Danger in the Situation.
The great danger in the situation is
the warmer weather in the upper Co
lumbia district. 1t was thought up to
Tuesday that the Willamette would be
able to discharge it's flood waters be-
fore the Columbia rose with the melt
ing snow. However, should the Co
lumbia rise rapidly it would send
backwater up the Willamette and the
situation would be critical. This has
happened in other flood seasons.
Indications are that the Willamette
would continue to drop at Eugene. 1t
subsidized six feet Monday The oregon
electric railroad service between Eu-
gene and Corvallis has been discon-
tinued owing to the high water. Land
slides along the willamette Pacific
railroad has suspended service on that
road probably for the remainder Of
the week.
At Salem it is believed the crest of
the high water will pass by today noon.
Easements are flooded in parts of Sa-
lem and the warehouse of the oregon
City Transportation company on the
Willamette at Salem is half sub
merged.
The Ash street dock in Portland fell
a victim to the high water last night,
the lower level being submerged. All
other docks have made arrangements
to protect goods and several offices
have moved to higher levels. Aims
