STREAMS ARE RISING AGAIN jreltins Snows and Rain Expected to Muddy Water for l'cw Days. Catches Around Oregon City Are Large. ' BY HARRY M. GRAYSON. The last of the week-end parties on the McKenzie River returned yester day. Two or three teams of anglers who intend to spend the week-end still are to be accounted for, but they have no doubt become so enthusiastic that we will have to brand them as vacation spenders. Aaron Frank, Dick Carlon and R. D. Carpenter reported back to their busi ness duties yesterday morning with 90 trout in their creels. All but two were redsides, a couple of good-sized Dolly Vardens being- in the collection. The Dollies were captured with spin ners. The catch was the result of two days' fishing. The trio fished between Carey Thompson's Inn, near Veda, and Krn erick Ferry. Their casting time was abbreviated Monday shortly after noon when a severe storm arose, it rained fearfully and all of the anglers who came home yesterday fear that the rainfall and the water caused by the melting snow will handicap the fish ing for four or five days. The McKen zie raised 18 inches Monday afternoon. Melvcnzle Han 1'tw Dangers. "Many persons in Portland have the idea," said Mr. Frank yesterday, "that only expert- fishermen can go to the McKenzie a.nd make catches, owing to the hazards to be encountered. This is the greatest, mistake in the world. It was my first experience on the Mc Kenzie, and I am not much of an .angler when it comes to capturing trout. My fishing has been confined larg-ely to casting for salmon at and near Oregon City." Dr. and Mrs. I L. DuBois motored to Kugene Friday, where they met Dr. A. J. Brock and Dr. Frank li. Kiftner, who went up on the train. The quar tet motored from Kusrene to Thomp son's place, and came home with a fair catch of redsides as a result of two days' fishing. They fished above Thompson's place. Five or six other parties returned home yesterday from the McKenzie, and all brought favor able reports and had nice catches. The rain storm of Monday afternoon sent most of them back. This handicap which the storm will cause will last, according' to experts, only five days at the most and normal fishing condi tions on the McKenzie should prevail e era in next Sunday. iS. L. Devereaux. Harry Corbett and Percy Bronson will head parties Mc Kenzieward within a few days, or just ss soon as the conditions are again normal. I'lNhinsr Not Heady oji Metolluft. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Miller fished the Metolius River, which is tributary to the Deschutes, last week-end, and reported a few salmon flies around Bend. They say that it will be two weeks before good fishing will be en Joyed. Dr. and Mrs. K. C. McFarland and Mr. and Mrs. Deo Pearson returned late Monday night from fishing in the Lit tle Nestucca River near Dolph, Or. They had a nice catch of small cut throats. The party encountered con siderable difficulty in getting back. They motored and got stuck in the mud, where they remained on Yamhill County roads until late Monday night. George J. Kelly and William Carey returned yesterday with an extraor dinarily fine catch of trout captured in the Upper Clackamas. Georee H. Kelly is contemplating 3. trout fishing and hunting trip to British Columbia with in two weeks. John Drennen caught the third bronze button Chinook salmon at Ore gon City last week-end. It weighed 24 pounds. James Honeyman was with Drennen. He captured one salmon also. R. N. Rudquist captured the first sil ver button salmon trolling at Oregon City. It weighed 35 pounds. Albert Jasman and V. W. Evans were in this party. Jasman caught one 13-pounder. Many parties are hiking Oregon days. Drr B. C. 'McFarland, Walter Oearin. Will C. Block and A. E.

Williams, Oregon National Committeeman, Home From Chicago, Says Republican Convention Is Open to All Candidates George -T. Willett Presented With Legislative Nominating Petition Burton Re ception Plans Made Miss Abbie Wright Candidate for School Superintendent. RALPH E. "WILLIAMS. Republican National committeeman from Ore gon, returned yesterday from Chi cago, where he served as a member ot the sub-committee on arrangements for the forthcoming Republican National Convention. Mr. Williams reports that there is a growing sentiment throughout the Middle West for a reunited Republican party in the coming campaign. He pre dicts that whoever is the choice of the Chicago convention will be elected. "The breach that separated the two factions of the party four years ago virtually has oeen healed," he said last night. "I look for the action of the convention to heal it permanently. There is a disposition on the part of both elements to make some conces sions and I believe that the convention will name a candidate and adopt a platform ' that can be consistently sup ported by all who supported President Talt or Colonel Roosevelt four years ago." Mr. Williams says that the selection of Senator Harding, of Ohio, as the temporary presiding officer of the con vention seems to meet with almost uni versal Republican approval. "Senator Harding was the unanimous choice of our committee, he explained. "While I personally favored Senator Borah, of Idaho, and some of the in dividual members of the committee had other personal preferences, when it be came apparent that Senator Harding was the choice of a majority of our number, he was elected without op position." What Mr. Williams regards as the most significant action of the sub committee was the decision to eliminate all possibility of contests among dele gates in states having direct primaries. In all such states the certified list of kdelegates provided by the respective Secretaries of State will be accepted as the official delegates and will be placed on the temporary roll of the conven tion. If contests develop subsequently they will be handled by the credentials committee. "While the temporary chairman will formally name the credentials commit tee. Mr. Williams explains that his action in this particular will be purely perfunctory, as the committeemen sug gested by the respective state delega tions will be named. "The demand for seats is breaking all precedents." said Mr. Williams. "The people seem to realize that this con vention will be an historic gathering. The Coliseum will accommodate 16.0U0 persons, and we already have more than twice that number of applications. "I hope to provide seats for all Ore gon persons who propose to attend, and invite all such to get into communica tion with me right away. "Even the press accommodations must be restricted this year. We ex pect to keep out of the press section all who are not legitimately entitled to sit there. Only accredited representa tives of newspapers and periodicals actually receiving the reports of the convention will get seats in the press section. We expect to take care of about 600 newspaper men." So far as presidential possibilities are concerned, Air. Williams declares that the people of Oregon know quite as much as those of the Middle West. He did not go east of Chicago. "There is strong talk all over the East for both Hughes and Roosevelt. The favorite-son candidates have not developed a great deal of strength out side their respective states. "The National committee will see that the convention itself names the candi date and will heartily support the choice of the convention, be it Hughes, Roosevelt or any other." George T. Willett, who, for many years, up to last June, was city ticket agent for the Northern Pacific yester day, without any previous knowledge on his part became a candidate for the Republican nomination for the lower house of the Legislature. Late yesterday evening Mr. Willett was presented with a petition signed by many prominent Portland people, asking him to become a candidate. Previous to that time Mr. Willett had entertained no thought of running for office. The petition was a formidable one and contained the names of per sons whom Mr. Willett has known al most ever since he came to Portland. 4 ? Dr. Horace M. Patton, Candidate for State Senator From Mult nonah Couaty. including all of those with whom he was associated while in the Northern Pacific office. The petition, in full, follows: "The undersigned, believing that pub lic honors and the higher duties " of American citizenship should be be stowed ifpon andi performed by men who have proved their integrity, ability and patriotism, hereby express their de sire that Major George T.

BortHwick, Mark W. Gill, John H. Bur gard, Ij. K. Hodges. Mr. Willett is widely known through out the county. He was with i.he Northern Pacific for more than 30 years until his retirement last June, since which time he has been devoting most of his tune to traveling with Mrs. Willett. He is a member of the old Multorpor Club and was one of the or ganizers of Company G. which was one of the most notable National Guard or- If 31 Iks Abbie Wrlicht.

At the time of his retirement from service in the Guard he was a Lieutenant-Colonel on the brigade staff. Candidates for State Representatives who have been indorsed by the Central Labor Council of Portland and vicin ity are: Ralph A. Willison, plasterer; Elmer E. Petlintjell, musician; Horace G. Parsons, cigarmaker; Oscar W. Home, bricklayer. Mr. Willison is a Democrat and the other three are Republicans. They have been residents of Oregon for many years and all have occupied responsible positions in organized labor. Mr. Willison is the president of the Plasterers' Union, Mr. Pettingell is the president of the Musicians' Union. Mr. Home is general Northwest organizer for the Bricklayers' Union, Mr. Parsons is of the firm of Fitzgerald & Parsons, cigar manufacturers. They are all running on the same platform and are all using the same slogan on the ballot. Their common platform follows: "Endeavor to secure enactment of legistation providing for printing by the state of all textbooks used in all schools in the state, to be furnished consumers at cost, and all other legis lation that will encourage home in dustries. "Support such amendments to tax laws as will insure just distribution of taxation to the end that the small home owner may be protected. "Will nrotect the interests of women and all other workers. "favor sane, workable plan of rural credits. "Favor enactment of practical legis lation to improve the methods of deal ing with delinquent children. "Good roads without graft." Slogan: Home industries; home labor; fewer laws: more justice." Dr. Horace M. Patton, who has an nounced his candidacy for State Sena tor from Multnomah County, is a prac ticing physician and surgeon. He is 49 years old and has lived in Portland for the past 10 years.

Dr. Patton is a Span ish War Veteran and member of the Scottish Societies of Portland. He w'as a member of the Portland vice com mission and has been active in civic movements. He is married and has one daughter. T feel it is the duty of every public spirited citizen to give his state and country whatever service he can," says Dr. Patton in his statement to voters. "I think I can give good service as State Senator and I am a candidate for the office with no other aim than the public welfare. "I shall not be the tool of any clique & clan, if nominated and elected. I pledge myself to devote the time and effort necessary to a thorough under standing of every bill proposed for en actment into law: to support earnestly all measures calculated to promote the interests and welfare of the people gen erally, and to oppose vigorously all measures inimical to the public good. "I have no pet hobbies to gratify nor private interests to promote, and will honestly and conscientiously discharge the duties that may be imposed on me by virtue of the office. . In appropria tions for state institutions, I will in sist upon the strictest economy eorf sistent with efficient administraton." While Sheriff Hurlburt was in Gre sham on business yesterday citizens there pointed out the necessity of a larger registration in the Gresham pre cints. Less than 50 per cent of the elec tors in that vicinity have been regis tered thus far and only a few more days remain for it. Sheriff Hurlburt took the matter up with County Clerk John B. Coffee during the day, and the latter will likely arrange for one of his deputy registrars to sit at Gresham and register voters further. This con venience will stimulate more interest in the forthcoming primary election. Senator Theodore E. Burton, of Ohio, will be the speaker at the luncheon of the Ad Club, at the Imperial Hotel, Wednesday, April 19. Senator Burton is cutting out Salem to reach Portland in time to appear be fore the Ad Club, and his engagement here was made contingent on the Ad Club's furnishing him transportation by a fast automobile back to Salem to fill his engagement there immediately after he has finished hie address be fore the Admen.

I consider the instructions binding not only to vote for the can didate on the ballot but to work for the organization of the convention along lines consistent with the istruc tions. No Individual is justified in placing his own preference or judg ment before the vote of his party. The only way to keep the Republican party united and to insure Republican victory in November, is to elect delegates who represent the wish of the majority of the voters.' " SALEM. Or., April 11. (Special.) Woodrow Wilson today telegraphed Secretary of State Olcott. requesting that his name be placed on the Demo cratic promary nominating ballot at the election May 19. as a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Presi dent of the United States. President Wilson notified Secretary Olcott that he was forwarding by mail a formal request. He is the only candidate in any party to have asked that his name be placed on the ballot. A formal request also was received today by the Secretary of State from William Grant Webster., of Chicago, asking that his name be placed on the ballot at the primaries for the Re publican nomination for Vice-President of the United States. Harvey Wells, State Insurance Com missioner, who filed his declaration yesterday of candidacy for Republican Presidential elector, today withdrew from the field. Commissioner Well said that since it appeared doubtful that he could qualify for the office if elected, unless he resigned as i Insur ance Commissioner, that he preferred not to run. The constitutional pro vision which prevents state officers from holding two lucrative positions, was held to act as a bar to Mr. Wells' acting as elector. Declaring that he favors Justice Hughes for President, Francis S. Ivan hoe, of La Grande, today filed declara tion of candidacy for Republican elector. "I believe Justice Hughes to be at present the strongest prospective candidate with all elements of the party," writes Mr. Ivanhoe in his state ment to voters. "I believe it a party duty to give active and united support to ths regular nominee of the Republican National convention, during the cam paign and at the polls. "The present low estimate of the value of American citizenship is due to 'watchful waiting,' grape juice and vacillating policies of the present Ad ministration, and a return to the sane, conservative and firm policies of the Republican party is both a public de mand and a National necessity." Ed S. Kiddle, of Island City, a mem ber of the upper house in the last two Legislatures, has filed the declaration of his candidacy for renomination on the Republican ticket for State Senator from Union and Wallowa counties. In his statement he says: "I will give the office the same at tention and careful work that I have given during the past term. I am op posed to bonding the state for any purpose whatsoever and will oppose with all my might any bonding scheme offered to the Legislature. I am like wise opposed to the proposition to bond Union or Wallowa county." MARINE INTELLIGENCE. Steamer Schedule. DU TO ARRIVE. Name. From Data. Bear Los Ange!es- Apr. J F. A. Kilhurn. . . .

RAILWAY RATE TO GOVERN Japanese l irnis Considering Ship ment of Goods Across Pacific From l'ortland Instead of by AVay of Puget Sound. Mitsui & Co., Japanese importers and exporters, maintaining- Northwest head quarters at Portland, are negotiating with the O.-W. R. & N. Company for the movement of Vladivostok cargo through Portland, offering to provide steamers for the purpose here. T. Urabe, manager here for the well-known Japa nese interests, on his return from Puget Sound yesterday, said that his company had about 15 steamers that would be available from time to time in the near future for that business, if satisfactory terms could be entered into with the railroad company. Mr. Urabe plans to take the matter up with F. W. Robinson, trafiic man ager of the O.-W. R. & N.. though he says the fleet would be operated only as tramps, because they are under en gagement to bring cargo this way from Japan, and it is not possible to stipu late that they will arrive and depart on schedule. Some freight for Vladivostok was un loaded from cars at Portland recently as a means of having the cars avail able for other freight, the intention be ing to reload the shipments in cars for transfer to Puget Sound as soon as the congestion there was sufficiently relieved to permit the uninterrupted movement of war supplies across the Pacific. The proposal of Mr. Urabe is taken by some Portlanders as an easy solu tion of the congestion, providing rates are not excessive. Mitsui & Co. have threo steamers listed for Portland, and will have sev eral others during the year, even, though the proposal to take care of Vladivostok freight is not acted on. Mitsui & Co. have freight of their own on the way from the Kast, destined for the Orient, but as the routing is con trolled at point of shipment it has been billed via Pugot Sound. Suzuki & Co., another big Japanese firm, has Targe lots of steel products and similar supplies under contract in the Kast for delivery in the Far East, and has had its transportation through Portland un der consideration. CmiOSITY DAMAGES BUOYS Passengers Iike to - See Cans of Illuminating Material Rlaze. Since vessels were equipped with patent ring buoys, with a can affixed, the contents of which burst into flames as soon as striking the water, the steamer Wapama, Captain Foldat. has lost two cans through the curiosity of passengers in pulling ott the lines to see how the gear works. As a result Caitain Foldat Is to post warning signs. United States Steamboat Inspectors Edwards and Wynn were informed of ficially yesterday that new regulations covering ring buoys, both the ordinary kinds and those of the illuminating type, apply to all gasoline vessels of more than 15 tons. That is taken to mean that such ga-olin-; vessels -is the Ahwenada, Enterprise, Rustler, Mirene, Gerald C and others of the size must carry the equipment. NORTHERN PACIFIC L.VYS CP Great Northern lne Friday on First Trip of 1916 Season. The Northern Pacific yesterday car ried 103 passengers southward and had 1059 tons of freight. In the latter were consignments of 30 tons of vine gar from Hood River, with 215 tons of flour, potatoes, paper and autos from Portland. The Northern Pacific lays off on ar rival at San Francisco, and the Great Northern will take her place, arriving at Flavel Friday. Several members of the crew of the Northern Pacific will be transferred temporarily to the Great Northern. H". A. Jackson, newly appointed traffic manager of the company, is on his way to St. Paul to convey his family to San Francisco, where they will reside. THROUGH RATE IS PROVIDED Elmore Line Placed on Same Hasis as Others Via Coos Bay. Southern Pacific freight officials have notified the Chamber of Commerce that a through rate has been granted S. Klmore & Co. on the gasoline schooner Tillamook for traffic from Portland through Marshtield to Coquille River Valley points, and from Coquille River Valley points via Marshfield to Port land. While the steamer Breakwater was on the run, under the management of the Southern Pacific, a through bill of lading was given to and from Coquille River Valley points. When this steamer was taken off Portland jobbers experi enced difficulties, so the same connec tion was extended the North Pacific Steamship Company, and now to the Elmore line. ROSSUETS CARGO IS ABOARD French Sailer One of Few Left That Has Full Crew Standing By. One ship not to be dstained through crew troubles is the French bark Bos suet, which took on -the last of her grain cargo yesterday and may be cleared today so as to start for sea at once. French vessels as a rule have more success than those of other flags sailing in the grain fleet as to keeping sailors, and the Bossuet had not lost a single tar up to the time the last of her cargo was stowed. The Norwegian bark' Olivebank Is short several sailors and hope is en tertained each day that a few will he signed. Captain Davison, of the Alice A.

In connection with the issuance of a bulletin yesterday, covering the sea son's snowfall in the Columbia River watershed. District Forecaster Reals makes known that it will be the last Issue of the 1910-16 season. That large amounts of snow remain in the moun tains is indicated by the reports, some of which are as follows: Last Winter was unusually cold, and the snowfall not only began earlier in the Fall and ended later in tho Spring tha usual, but the amounts that fell were tho heaviest in years. The snow now in the mountains Is well packed and has a high water con tent. Much of that which has so far melted soaked into the ground and the soil is well moistened to a good depth. Under normal temperature conditions during April and May higher water than usual will occur during tho annual rise in the Columbia River and those cultivating bottom lands should govern themselves accordingly. During every month from November to March, inclusive, the snowfall in tho ele vated regions of Oregon was much above the average. At the close of March, whils the snow had largely disappeared from the lower level anil on the south slopes, in sheltered spots, on the ntirth slopes and in deep gulches greater depths wero report than had been recorded at this time for a number of years.

Senator Lane's and Representative McArtnur's bill, introduced in Congress to revise the maritime laws to permit vessels bound to Portland to proceed up the Columbia direct, without stopping at Astoria, has been indorsed by the navigation committee of the Chamber of Commerce. The stop at Astoria was in vogue long before Oregon was made one cus toms district, but it is pointed out that the present conditions make it a source of unnecessary delay and expense, and militate against the growth of com merce in the Port of Portland. 7 0 Tons of Cheese in Cargo.

Cargo of Paper, and Oregon Salmon li Taken for Antipodes in Trad ovr BcinK Developed. Not many who yesterday admiied the British steamer Waikawa, of the Canadian - Australian line, loading paper and salmon at Municipal L-ock No. 2. wero aware tliHt she was one. of the early victims of the war. As the German steamer Schlecisicn t?ho was captured a few days alter war was declared, when on the way from Bris bane for Bremen, and was taken t 1'Iymouth August 7. Subsequently, the British prize court "sold the vessel un.i she was placed in thep resent service under the name of the Waikawa. Tho steamer was built at Flensburg in l!'"7 and is 421.3 feet long, with a beam of 55.1 feet and depth of hold of 20.4 feet. Her original owners were the Noid deutscher Lloyd. The Waikawa is the second of the Union Steamship Company's vessels to make Portland to work paper carg for the Antipodes, the lirst having been the Waimarlno, here in February. While no May steamer has been pro vided It is expected the company will have another carrier here in June, for the demand for paper must be met and as long as stocks cannot be obtained that were previously drawn from Ger many, this Coast will benefit. Fivo gangs were started working 120U tons of paper yesterday, while 40 tons ot Oregon canned salmon goes aboard as well and it is planned to fin ish her today. The ship brought 415 pieces of iron balk from Australia, amounting to approximately 40,000 feet, which is consigned to Mitsui & Co., and will be the first material handled at Municipal Uock No. 2 by that com pany, which plans to establish a. hard wood lumber yard in tho rear of tho dock. The Waikawa came to Portland from Australia via tfan Francisco and Brit ish Columbia- ports and ou steaming today will be tinder orders to return by way of the Golden Gate, where she completes her cargo. Efforts are beint made to bring the service to Tortland regularly. " IJridge Hearing Is l'lsetl. Major Jewett. Corps of Knginerts, U. Sj. A., has sot April 20. at 1:30 P.
