Good news w clicked over the wire from the weather observer at Hi pari to the main office here kit night. The finuke river it fulling quiet rapidly, anil the Columbia la aUtionary at Umatilla. The Unit reading for the day, 24 8, waa taken at 0 a. in , aiid ghowed a rixe of two inches during the preceding 24 hour at Kiparia. Seven hour later a aerond reading wag taken, allowing a fall of aix inches. At Umatilla the morning reading waa 34.6 i-ft, indieating a rine of aix indie dur ing the niuht, but at 4 p. m. the water "till lapped the 34.5 mark, clearly how ing thut the flood had attained its full height. The Willamette came up with a jump during the diiyliitht hour yenter dy, until at 6 p. m. the gauge reading wa 32.5 feet. The high-water mark of 18U0 is now 3 8 ft-et under water, and there is no prwpect that it will emerge again from itn watery berth for some time. The gauge reading at 5 a. in. wa 42 fex-t, intliexting a rise of but .1 during ing the preceding 10 boars. Yesterday's rapid ririe is accounted for by the flood in (he Upper Willamette, canned ly Saturday night's heavy rain storm. ABAKOONBD TO Till FLOOD. In Portland no further effort is being made to prevent the onward rush of the waters. Everywhere people are re treating as fat a poenihle to higher ground that will not be affected by five feet more of water. In uiany cel lars, where pumps have been kept going for aeveral days nast, the water ta gain ing so font that the pumps have been withdrawn, and staging built over the II ret floor, in antipation of at least a foot rine. The flood broadens day by day, and almost bour by hour, so that it is impoHxible to fix the exact limits. At 6 o'clock luet night large boats could pans over the intersection of Fourth and Washington streets. The creeping waters were nearly up to Washington on Fifth, and by noon today the Perkins hotel will probably be surrounded by water. On Fii at street the limit is at Taylor, and on Second at Yamhill, The ititet section of Second and Morrison is covered, but not sufficiently to permit boating. Down on Uliean street street boats can be landed orr Tenth, and on Twelfth, St. Vincent hospital stands in a great lake and cannot lie reached ex cept by wading or in boate. SAILING TUB 8TRKET8. The depth of water on Front street is sufficient for the navigation of large-sized river craft. At Ash street it is 7 feet 4 inches, and heavilv loaded Cascade barge are towed down the street with perfect ease. One of these barges, par tially loaded, was towed up Davis street to Sixth, where it now stands. Small steamboats and heavy transports may he seen in all parts of the flooded dis trict, especially east of Third street. At the Union depot a locomotive stands on the track half covered with water, w hile two more in the Terminal Company's roundhouse, under the west approach lo the steel bridge, are similarly situated. Dow n in the freight yard small boats can be rowed into submerged box-cars and clear over flat-car. DOCKS IN BAD SHAPE. The situation on the river front is grow ing hourly more serious. With the in creased current, noticeable in the stteam yesterday, fears were entertained thut some of the loosened docks might be carried out. Viewed from mid-river, the outlook is mewl discouraging. Many docks have disappeared almost to the eaves beneath the muddy waters, and are only kept from flouting by the heavy loads of machinery, cement, etc., stored there. Eventing & Farrell's wharf, at the foot of Alder street, has raised four feet. The merchandise Btored there up to Sunday last has all been removed, and was not at all damaged, The re moval of so great a weight released the building from its fastening!, and it is now careened toward the river. The steamer Telephone company's dock, adjoining, is floating and is in bad shape. All of the way . down to the steel bridge and below it, wharves are in about the same s.hape, with the ex ception of ttie Ash-street wharf, which is much higher than the others. It is as yet perfectly firm. Below the Terminal Company's grounds several good-sized buildings are afloat. One of them was evidently occupied as a dwelling until recently for on the roof, may be seen a lot of furniture and bed ding. About 5 o'clock yesterday morn ing a large, substantial-looking roof, well shingled and put together, floated down Btream and bumped op against the Morrison-street bridge. The draw was oiened and it wag permitted to pass on unchallenged. At 0 o'dwr last night the ends o' the Morrison -street bridge draw were rest ing on the water, and it required but a few inches further rise to disable the bridge. All day long men were tav tioned along ttie bridge with pike poles to pick out piece of drift wood which caught there. The wash from passing steamers caused the flooring to creak ominously. WATER ITKIOXS SL'PREMK. The Dalles, June 5 The river m 58 3 feet above low-water mark, and still riing. Reports from above indicate a very considerable rise yet. The entire business portion ol the town is under wU-r, and a large part of the balance as well. In ths east end of town the water extends to the bluff, havirg drowned out every one. Large stocks of goods are being moved (rum the stores in boats and stored on the bluff wherever a building can be had in which to put them. The Wasco warehouse and Moody's warehouse have water on their floors, and a large force of men are work ing night and day to get the large amounts of wool just received out of harm's way. The only houses doing business are the groceries and markets All others are closed. The banks are all closed and have been compelled to move. The water is nearly three feet deep on the floor of the poetoffice, which can only be reached by a high plank walk built above the water. A awift current is setting through the town, and it is feared that many buildings will be washed from their foundations. The hotels are in water to the second story and are not deemed safe. Memaloose island, a few miles below the Dalles, is almost all under water, and the accumu lated skeleton and bones of many years are being washed away by the hundred. The damage is becoming greater each day, and while there is no way of esti mating its extent, yet it will reach into the hundreds of thousands. Thirty blocks ate now under water, and a rise of a few feet more will inundate the entire portion of the town under the bluff. The newspapers have been drowned out, and are in temporary locations. Yesterday they issued their daily editions on hand-presses. BUILDINGS BEING WRECKED. There is a constantly-increasing pros pect that many of the smaller builJimn in the North End will! be lifted from their foundations and carried into the street. The water is already from four to six feet in depth there, and in some places reaches to the tops of the first story windows. A score or more of cot tages were deserted yesterday, the ten ants piling their household goods on rafts and flatboats, and moving to higher ground. Seconl and Fourth streets from Ankeny to the river appear to be entirely deserted, and portions of Sixth and Seventh are in about the same fix. The hotels and lodging houses on Third street are crowaed. Saloon-men who have been driven out of their places of business have built rafts and are doing business in the open air. Others have removed to the second story, where they appear to be doing a thriving business. In that end of town may be seen some of the most picturesque boate and rafts in the flooded district, and they all do a good business. Among them is a genu ine mining boat, a regular double-decker which came from nobody knows where, but it is said from the upper Columbia. BC81SK8S AT A 8TAND81ILL. On First stieet one may row for many blocks without finding a single business house open for business. Nearly every building is vacant, at least so far as the lower floors are concerned. Front street will soon be in the same condition, for buildings are being emptied as fast as the circumstances permit. Draylng is no Ioniser possible east of Third street, and transports are not so plenty as they ought to be. With the water on Stark and SixUi streess, and almost up to Washington, within a block of the Ore gonian building, the very heart of the city is flooded. The transaction of bus in the vicinity of Third and Washington streets has been greatly facilitated by the building of substantial street cross ings, high enough for wagons or boats to pass under. One spanning Alder street is nearly 10 feet in height. On First and Morrison streets elevated sidewalks are being constructed, durable enough to last several weeks, should the high water continue so long a time. In some places the precaution has been taken to put up band-railings, so that there is but little danger of foot passenger's falling into the wator, Estray Came to Noblitt's & Co.'s stable, Oregon City, May 21, one black mare ; white face and white hind feet ; age about 8 years ; branded on left Bhoulder, and badly cut on breast by barb wiro.

Kepskllran leaders Retnrnfiiir U Klalne's Favorite Policy Union of A-nrrlcan Satires. Colfax, Wash., June 2. At halfpast one this morning, fifty masked men went to the county jail and lynched Ed. Hill, serving a sentence for killing Lang ford Summers and George F. Parker, who is on trial for killing A. B. Cooper. Shortly alter 1 o'clock Jailer New comer was awakened by a knocking at his door in the basement and when he asked what was wanted,) voice answered that be had a prisoner that be wanted to put in jail. The jailer drewwd, went ont into the corridor and there was met by fifty masked and armed men who rjtd.ed him into the sheriffs office. Demanding that he open the safe and get the jail keys. He did so and then the mob made him open the inside doors of the jail. The mob broke the locks of the cells in which Hill and Parker were con fined, Ihrew a rope around their necka and bound their hands. Parker made no outcry, but Hill screamed so lie conld be beard a quarter of a mile, protesting his innocence all the time. The two men were then taken ont of the jail, throogh the hallway and np stairs to a small porch. The rope was fastened to the balcony. bove the porch, and when everything was ready Parker was thrown over into the darkness and immediately afterwards Hill waa Launched. Parker, as he was thrown over, raised his left arm which be placed over the rope. Parker struggled for a moment, but both men died quickly. The jury trying Parker ws dismissed by Judge Sullivan this morning witbont explanation, except that the accused was dead. An inquest held this afternoon resulted in a verdict that both men came to their death by hanging by par ties unknown. The officers are determined to brina; the offenders to justice. Edward Hill killed Lang ford Sum mers, an old roan in Garfield, about two years ago; he was arrested but escaped from jail and fled to Arizona where he waa captured and brought bark. He obtained a charge of venue to Colfax and the jury found him guilty of simple assault. Adopting BUvaa'i Policy. Washington, June 2. The utterance of ex-Speaker Reed, Senator Lodge, Representative Burrows, Cannon and other republican leaders in favor of the free nse of silver, are regarded in con gressional circles as revival of the plans and aspirations of James G. Blaine. It ia well known that Blaine's hopes were to unite the nations of th western hemisphere by international ' reciprocity treaties and a common med ium of exchange. Representative Hitt, of Illinois, who was cloeely associated! with Mr. Blaine, says that the proposi tion of Mr. Reed is in the line ef Blaine's policy. The latter was never fully spread before the public, as it had a scope which could be developed only by pa tience and by slow stages, and Blaine's health during his latter days . was not such as to permit him to accomplish the ends be had in view. "Mr. Reed now presents the proposi tion with directness," said Mr. Hitt, as were Mr. Blaine'a proposed passive steps which tended toward the same general results. It was Mr. Blaine's be- -lief that the nations of the western hem isphere should be reciprocally united in their commercial dealings, their money, . their railroads and all lines ot action which would make them strong against. the rest of the world."
