ROOD EXPECTED TO That th Portland high water rec ord will be broken next week, and that flood conditions will prevail throughout the lower Wilametto val ley, la the prediction of river mon and government experts. Sunday It Is expected that the Willamette will roach a Btate of 21.3 feet at Portland and thla will be but .3 feet below the record mark, which was attained on June 21. 1903. The Columbia and lta tributaries are held to blame for the rivers height, freshets in Eastern Washing ton and along be Snake river having brought down a great volume of wa ter from the melting snow In tho mountains. Melting snow on the west slope of the Cascades Is not helping matters any, and forecaata of warmer weather are expected to add to the aerlousness of the situation. KNTKRI'ltfHK, FRIDAY, MAY 30,191.3 TAKING ADARF7 IS NEARLY FATAL LLOYD BAXTER HAS CLOSE CALL WITH DEATH WHEN SWIM MING WITH HIS CHUMS YOUTH COES DOWN FOR SECOND TIME Crw of Oovsrmtnt Drtdg Hastsn to Rtscus of Lad and Pull Him From Rlvar Just a Cur rant Belies Body 'Taking a dare" nearly cost Lloyd ilaxter'hl life Friday evening of last week, when in order to abow hi "bravery" before bis playmates he waded out Into deep water In tbe Wil lamette, near the mouth of Abernatby Creek, and was only aaved from drowning by the quick work of mem bers of tb crew of the government dredge Mathloma. Maxtor and several of his compan ions were cooling off in the river af ter the hot day Friday, and got, to doing ''stunts." One thing led to an other, and finally the youngsters got to daring each other to go out to a certain point In the river. It waa while this wa being done that some body dared young Iiaxter to "go two step further." The boy took the dare, but bis sec ond step carried bim off the sharply shelving bank, where the current bad cut It away, and precipitated him In to deep water. Tbe lad plungod un- , dor water with a gasp, and when be next rose to tne sunace ne was sev eral feet ' out In the current, lie screamed for help, and sank again still screaming. Ilia companions on the bank and In the shallow water were powerless to go to bis aid, so Joined, their cries with bis. Tbe government dredge Mathloma waa lying a little way down stream, and several of her crew were whlling away time on dock. They heard tbe cries of the boys, and knowing at once what waa wrong, sprang Into t boat and pulled for the spot where young Kaxter bad disappeared for the second time.1 As the youth's head came above tbe water again, one of the dredges grasped bis hair, and holding him until be could g-t a firm grip upon bis wriggling body, pulled the lad to safety. Thn boy was taken ashore and rolled In blankets, and Dr. Strickland ruled. It took tbe physician soma moment to restore the boy to con sciousness, and after that be waa hurriedly dressed and taken to bis home. The other boys lost all Inter est In bathing, following the accident, and hastily left the dredge crew In possession of the water. ARE RE-ELECTED ONLY- SEVEN INSTRUCTORS OUT.

HAY TEACHERS CLACKAMAS DRY AS RIVER RISES RESIDENTS OF THIS COUNTY SEE NO PERIL IN APPROACH ING FLOOD SEASON ILTNOO IS ALREADY SUFFERING Warm Weather Will Caus Hiavy Losses Along Rlvar at Port land, But Will Benefit Crops on High Land What practically amount to flood conditions are prevallng In the lower Willamette Valley these days, and people who live this side of the Mul tnomah county line bavs the contour of the land to thank for the fact tbat they are out of danger of Inundation, and that their crops, now growing well, are In no Jeopardy from high water. Tbe river at Portland is ovr the lower dock, and I rising stead. Ily, while along the lowland border ing either bank for several mlla south of the city there is nothing to be seen but tbeJjjps of shrub and tbe ant-Infested truiTPffTrf trees. From Mllwaukle on up to Oregon City, however, the present high wa ter has done no damage at all, and even if a h-eevy rise in tbe river should follow with the warm weather, only b few low-lying tracts, mostly utilized by Japanese market and truck gardeners, will suffer. Every foot of rise in tbe river, however, will mean much inconvenience and finan cial loss to Multnomah county folk. A Journey by tbe lnterurban be tween this city to Portland gives a fair Idea of conditions, though the flooding of the west bank of tbe river la not ao readily seen. Houseboats that line thje lower river are all well afloat, and the mooring of many of them have been changed so tbat their occupants can get to dry land. Tie low-lying sloughland below Portland la all under water, while tbat above tbe metropolis is either flooded cr a mas of mud. At tbe Oaks the water is so high that except from the lawns there is no hind In sight, and the big swamp back of the amusement Dark is b mlnature sea that will prove an excellent breeding place (or mo squitoes and other pests. Afloat be hind tbe place in a muddy pool i a large sign tbat proclaims tbe opening of tbe resort this week. Conditions Just the opposite, how ever, prevail along the river in Clack amas county. Tbe high bluff along the bank protects the bind from flood ing, save in one or two small places, and the rains which have helped swell the water in the stream have proved most beneficial to the agri cultural activities of the section. All kinds of crops are in good condition, and fruit trees and bushes are par ticularly thriving. Grape arbors are in fine shape, and there is every in dication that farmers and small ranchers will receive good returns on their crops. In fact the territory between Oregon City and Mllwaukie la ao green and prosperous looking that it appears more like a model farm than anything else. The warm weather of the last two days has done considerable to aggra vate river conditions, and tbe Colum bia is rising rapidly and backing up the Willamette as a result of the melting snows that have been lying on even the lower hills. The warm weather Is also bringing the Calck amas river up. and this stream is add ing Its volume of water to the back flood In the WUlamettte. As a re sult Multnomah county people who live near the river expect record high water; white Portland cellars will probably be flooded almost to the famous high-water mark of years ago. In the metropolis warehouse interests are empting their lower stories of stock so as to avoid dam age, and along the docks every prep aration Is being made for extreme high water. ELOODjTHREATENS ALONG WILLAHETTE Phophecles of a sharp rise In the Willamette have been made by Unit ed States weather bureau officials, and as a resuiti preparations are be ing made all along the banks of fie stream below the Oregon City dam to protect property. In a bulletin is sued late Monday afternoon it was atated that the river wculd reach a stage of 18.5 feet by Friday at Port land. What will happen after that date has not as yet been figured out The river is expected to rise at least a foot a day, however, until further warnings are Issued. While nhis first main rise of the river will not effect Oregon City greatly, the Increase of the stream is being closely watched hera. The present freshet is caused by backwa ter from the Columbia, which has been greatly swelled the past week by the melting of snows along the banks of Ha tributaries on tbe east ern slope of the Cascades. The warm weather of the past four days has al so started a great deal of snow from the western slope of the mountains, and this is muklng its presence shown in the rapid rise of the Clackamas and otlhjr rivers. Since Saturday the Clackamas has come up over a foot, and is atill rising. ECHOES FROM MILWAUKIE. Mllwaukle Happenings Always Inter est Our Readers. After reading of bo many people In our town who have been cured by Doan's Kidney Pills, the question naturally arises: "Is this medicine equally successful In our neighboring towns?" The generous statement of this Milwaukie resident leaves no room for doubt on this point. Mrs. Clara E. Cook. R. P. D. No. 2. Dox 105. Milwakie, Ore., says: "For years I suffered from pain In my back, much more severe If I over-taxed my self or caught the slightest cold. The kidney secretions were unnatural. Doan's Kidney Pills proved to be Jus. the remedy I needed. They gava tne quick relief from all the troubles.
