A. few
days ago tbe Hotel Perkins in Port-)
land WM sola to satiaiy a judgment
which, with the coats snd interest,
amounted to 1205,000, and is now un
der ths personal management of Mr.
C. W. Knowles, formerly of ths St.
Charles. Mr. Knowles is, withont
question, the most successful hotel
man in the stste, and by bis long
service in that line and very large
range of acquaintances his personal
popularity and familiarity witb the
hotel business he will bring to tbe
Perkins a large trade that has been
divided between the other hotels of
the metropolis. The 81. Charles,
while under Mr. Knowles' manage
ment, though ranking about fifth In
point of modern equipment, did about
one-half the first-class business, not
because people particularly liked the
house, but because Charley Knowles
wm proprietor and his guests knew
tbey would be well treated, and so we
predict it will be with the Perkins.
Hioh Watbe Possibilities. spec
ulations are rife ss to what stage the
river will reach before all danger of
high water is over, but of course every
thins- advanced regarding this is en-
.n.n,.iilaa There ia no auea-
tion but there is enough snow in the
mountains drained by the Columbia
to bring the river up to tbe 18M mark,
..J 11 turunrla nnnn how fast or how

il In tha mount
In. I.,. afaulra tha river could
easily raise 30 feet more, and as it is
now i reel, tins would mnae- aa im
mense flood. With ihe river up as it
is now an immense volume of water
is passing off, but every lhaw tbat oc
curs in tbe mountains tends to in
crease the volume. Already having a
rise of 32 feet there Is nothing to hin
der its reaching 60 feet if the thaw is
not checked, but this is not likely.
At this season of the year continued
hot weather is uncommon, and it is
probable that before any extreme high
water is reached the weather will turn
cooler. It ia not likely that the river
will reach more than 45 feet thi
