Two Escape
Death in River

While wading in the Columbia Sat
urday, Marie Weber almost lost her
life. She was attempting to pull to
shore a large piece of drift wood which
she had secured on the end of long
pipe. The current suddenly caught the
log, carrying it down river and caus-
ing Miss Weber, who is unable to
swim, to lose her balance. She was
rapidly being swept downstream when
the current brought her near the shore
where j. E. Leander, who with Cecil
Haskell, had seen her plight, was able
to extend a pipe within her grasp.
With this she was dragged to the
shore.
Jim Grisham, youngest son of Mr..
and Mrs. J. v. Grisham, barely es-
capped drowning Tuesday when he fell
in the river from the bank where he
had been playing. The child was rap
idly being carried downstream when
his father jumped into the river and
swan to him. While his parents were
very frightened over the occurrence,
the little boy suffered no ill effects and
seemed to consider falling into the
river not at all an unusual incident.

Rivers Peak
Is Reached On
Tuesday Night
HIGHEST LEVEL SINCE 1916 DOES
LITTLE DAMAGE TO PRIEST
RAPIDS VALLEY

After having stood at virtually the
same level, 1892 feet for more than
twenty-four hours, the Columbia river
was believed to have finally reached its
peak, week later than the average
high-water period. Unless a sudden in
crease in temperature occurs near the
headwaters of the river, it is quite
likely that the figures 1892 reached
Tuesday evening at the Coyote pump
ing plant will mark the high for the
summer of 1888. In all probability, the
river will drop quite fast within the
next week or so.
This is the highest mark on the
records at Coyote Rapids for seventeen
years. In 1918 the river reached
stage of 5286 and in 1916 the level
was 1884.
In this valley the river has done
but little harm. Several caches OF
driftwood have been caught by the
current and swept downriver, and pro-
duction of power at Priest Rapids has
been greatly decreased. Along other
parts of the river however reports
have been sent out telling of great
damage to farms and homes. A por-
ton of the Richland- KenneWick road
was washed out At Wenatchee, that
portion of the city east of the railroad
tracks, known as ShantytoWn, was
washed away, depriving many Of the
unemployed of the rude shelters they
had erected and the gardens upon
which they had relied for summer food.
Kelso has been particularly hard hit.
The flood there of the Coweeman river
has caused hundreds of thousands OF
dollars worth of loss. Two thousand
| have been made homeless.
Much Damage Caused
At Kennewick the Columbia and
Yakima rivers backed over the highway
in the vicinity of the Claybelle ranch,
inundating many acres of farm land,
halting traffic and forcing farmers to
remove their stock to higher land.
| Along the lower Columbia, where
many of the farms are under diking
districts, whole townships have been
flooded, with great damage to crops.
While the foundations of the unused
blacksmith shop and the Columbia
River Service station on the river
bank at Old Town are under water,
there are many here who recall the
| time when the water extended back

Shipments OF
CherriesGoOd

Early fruit and produce from this
valley is being shipped to Coast and
eastern markets in steadily growing
volume.
The White Bluffs Horticultural Ex-
change shipped about three tons OF
peas Tuesday, and expects to ship
more the end of the week. Peas are
also being sent out in small quantl-
ties by truck nearly every day. After
slump in price, peas are again rising
bringing four cents delivered at the
markets today.
The Bing cherry harvest has gotten
well underway, a ton and a half hav-
ing been shipped from the Horticult-
ural Exchange Tuesday to Montana
and Dakota points. Earlier shipments
by express and trucks have also been
made from the White Bluffs Hanford
and Allard- Vernita districts. The cher
ries so far have brought about five
cents pound to the grower for No.
fruit.
Yellow transparent apples, which
last year started to market about the
18th of June, are -ripening later this
year, and first shipments are not ex-
pected until about the first of July
No prices have been quoted on this
crop, of which there will be about
seven cars in the valley.
Some growers have shipped early
spuds already, and others are getting
ready for larger shipments. The prices
offered have fuctuated some, with an
average of about twenty-five dollars
being quoted
| While some peaches and apricots
have been picked, no shipments have
been made as yet, but in the neal
future the crop from the Allard-Ver'
nita district will be ready for market
