Will There be a Freshet.
It is the general belief now th.U the
flood which is sure to come in a few
weeks will exceed that of former over
flows. This belief is based on the fact
that there has been an unusual fall of
snow in the Cascade mountains and in
the upper Snake and Columbia coun
tries. Constable McCown, of Oregon
City, who has just returned from Mount
Hood, says that at the toll-gate the snow
was 12 feet deep and that fresh notches
were cut in trees indicating snow line
several feet higher during the winter.
The late Colonel Berryman Jennings, of
Clackamas, one of the earliest pioneers
and the first grandmaster of the Masons,
made a studv of the seasons for years
and his observations were that when
there was a vast amount of snow a late
cold spring was the result, the same as
the present season. A few warm days
now and then would melt and evaporate
the enow and then succeeding cold days
would turn the vapor back to snow in
the mountains again, and this evapora
tion and precipitation continued until
the season got so hot that the enow all
came down at once. This was the case
when Lynn city at the west side of Wil
lamette falls was washed away many
years ago, and the falls were practically
inverted. The indications now are for
a practical recurrence of the event. It
therefore behooves the people along the
river and in the part of the city which
usually eets a soaking to be ready for
the emergency Sunday Welcome.

giving away and causing the wagon to
fall a distance of 25 feet. Charles Kon

jumping out on the bridge before the
wagon went off. Mr. Stuckey, who is
about GO years old, has probably re
ceived internal injuries that may prove
fatal. Mrs. Stuckey is 45, andjhas a frac
tured arm and injured hip, bruises and
probably internal injuries. The wagnn
was uemoimnea, but tne Dorses were
practically uninjured.
