THE MORNING OREGOXIAN, MONDAY, JUNE 15, 1908. RIVER AT A STAND Highest Stage Will Be Reached Tuesday. SNOW MELTS IN ROCKIES Water Covers Lower Docks and In vades Low Places Along River Front, But Xo Serious Dam age Is Threatened. Far back in the Rockies, the Summer lun has melted the snow and the tor fenta of water have swept Into the Snake and Columbia rivers until a flood has reached Portland. Both the Willamette and Columbia have risen rapidly for eeveral days, but reached a stationary stage yesterday. Consequently, apprehension of loss on the waterfront has been temporarily al layed. Already the Willamette is far above the lower docks. At Supple's hip-yard, boats under construction and loose lumber are floating, and but for strong lines and ropes would be adrift on the Willamette. At other places alonp the waterfront havoc has been wrought by the' water, but serious dam age has so far been averted. However, the weather office predicts the highest stage of the river on Tuesday and prep- A.

From the weather office yesterday it was announced that the rise on the Upper Columbia and Snake rivers was not so pronounced as it had been for several days. At Lewiston and Riparia, on the Snake, the river showed a rise of one ' foot at the former and three-tenths foot at the latter place. At Wenatchee and Kennewick the rise was seven-tenths at the former and four-tenths foot at the latter place. Stages at the various re porting stations were as follows: Stage at Change last S A.

No rain has been reported from this district and the melting snow in the mountains is assigned as the reason for the sudden rise. It is regarded by the local weather office that the Willamette at Portland will reach a stage of 20.6 feet by Tuesday morning. The highest temperature reported by the weather office yesterday was at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, when the ther mometer registered 81 degres. Hourly reports showed the following: 5 A.

The waterlogged steam schooner Min nie E. Kelton is to be abandoned by the underwriters so far as any further attempt to float her is concerned. This morning Captain Genereaux, wrecker for the underwriters, wont down to the Kelton with barges and cables, intend ing to make an effort to float her oft the sands. He found that during the night the Kelton had almost turned turtle and was lying on her beam-ends in the hole which she had burrowed in the sands. No effort was made to run the cable under her, and Captain Genereaux stated tonight that he will do nothing further toward saving the vessel, and at the first opportunity will pick up his gear, consisting of a donkey engine and pump, which are on board her. It Is understood the wreck will be offered for sale. Seattle Marine Notes. SEATTLE! Wash., June 14. The steam ship Anubls, of the Kosmos Line, ar rived from San Francisco, after being fumigated at Diamond Head.

BUILD BIG WAREHOUSES Northwest End or West Side and Southeast End of East Side Scenes of Much Activity In Operations. The concluding days of last week put more ginger, in the realty market than has been In evidence for several pre ceding weeks. Deals of more than or- SCHUYLER STREETS t r , 13 dinary importance were closed up, some of which had been hanging fire, and the fact that they were finally consummated had an effect on the market that could be felt in the air. Dealers when asked "How are things?" met the questioner with broad smiles and replied, "Couldn't be better." "While the number of big transactions was small in comparison with the total business of the week, tiiere were enough of them to inspire a belief In the minds of dealers and brokers that the stagnant condition of the market, so far as in come property is concerned, had been broken and that from now on there will be good business done all along the line. The transactions of the week do not appear in the week"s records of trans fers and will be scattered along for some weeks to come, as deeds are not prompt ly turned in for record as a rule. The total, as shown by the official records' of transfers, is $260,153. That gives a daily average of $45,000, $5000 under the average: of the past few weeks. Not much excitement is noticeable over the sale of suburban lots, for the very good reason that sales of this class of realty are of such common occurrence as to no longer cause comment. With hard ly an exception, sales agents of platted tracts report about as many lots being sold just now as there were in the height of business In that line about a year ago. With three large warehouse buildings announced last week as about to be add ed to the East and West Side districts, where that class of buildings are being clustered, builders are feeling jubilant, for a half dozen or so structures to oc cupy quarter and half blocks mean steady work for contractors and me chanics well Into next "Winter. These larger buildings added to the Innumera ble dwellings under course of construc tion and about a dozen large ones well along toward completion, will not only keep present forces of workmen busy, but will increase their, number. In the report published yesterday of the sale of the Judge Page place by E. T. Ames to Arthur L. Finley for $40,000. another fact In connection with the sale should be added, that of Hartman & Thompson being the agents In the trans action. L. H. Briggs last week bought the resi dence of J. H. Amiss, 675 Brazee street. The consideration was not announced. The corner at Oak and First streets, sold last week by Dr. Cornelius, was pur chased by the Metropolitan Printing Com pany. It Is said the purchasers Intend to erect two or more stories to the single story now on the site. Joseph Henzel has bought the house and lot at the northeast corner of East Market and Tenth streets from O. E. Lent, the price being reported at $6400. MacNaughton, Raymond & Lawrence came In for congratulations on the oc casion of the filmal opening of the new Commercial Club, Friday. M.

Satisfactory progress is belnf? made on the Fenton building at Seventh and An keny streets. . Steel interior frames are in place and outside wails are going up. It may have been mere coincidence, but the fact remains that directly following the R. H. Thomson lecture, several big deals were closed and four Eructures an nounced as having been decided upon, these running from $50,000 to probably J150.000. The lecture also resulted in in spiring more strength in the local realty market than has existed for some weeks past. It would seem that it has become necessary for outside authorities to come here and tell Portlanders what opportuni ties lie within their grasp, and to urge them to reach out and accept them.. When the Pioneers arrived in the city to attend their annual meeting, the remark heard the oftenest from those honored founders of the state was, "I can scarcely believe my eyes when I look around and see the remarkable growth of Portland," and then they would indulge in remin iscences about the early days when Front and First streets for a few blocks north and south composed the town of Port land. One of the comments made by1 City En gineer Thomson of Seattle, when he showed a view of a street in Seattle where a big apartment house appeared in the background was', "How I despise those apartment houses! If I had my way that kind of houso for people to exist in would be abolished. Occupants of these big buildings do not get enough fresh air and have no yard where the children may romp. Of course you will reply that peo ple that live In apartment houses do not have children, as a rule, but that does not answer the point that the fresh air supply is limited." Some of bis hearers shook their heads. North Bank road engineers announce that the approach to the bridge across the Willamette, a distance of 6500 feet on the Peninsula, is nearing completion and that the spur to the Swift plant will be opened for use about the middle of next month. Dredging is going on steadily in the slough by the big steam machines, and about 20 acres have been filled on the site for the main building of the plant. Architect W. C. Knighton has award ed the contract for erecting a J12.O0O dwel ling for M. H. Houser, to O. Tollison. The house is to be built on Twenty-first street between Jackson and carter. Litherland & Abrey have been awarded the contract for building a freight depot for the Oregon Electric road. The con tract was let by D. C. Lewis, -the archi tect. The building Is to be of reinforced concrete, 35x70, and is to stand at Front and Jefferson streets, near the terminal station. Being but a single story, the es timated cost Is $5000. F. A. Legg has prepared plans for the 100x100 warehouse for the Campbell Au tomatic Burner Company to be erected at East Eighth and Belmont streets, referred to a couple of weeks ago in this paper. The same architect has the commission for making plans for the five-story brick and stone bank and store building to be erected in Salem by the United States National Bank pf that city. Work has been resumed on the Burk-hart-eadwell. .building on Second street. t)elay in the arrival of material for the steel interior caused a suspension of work for a few days. Concrete work on the foundations and piers for the Rosenblatt hotel are nearing completion and when they have suffi ciently set, work on the upper parts of the structure will start.

Student Enterprises Bring Many Vic tories Course of Study and Equipment Enlarged. CORVALLIS, Or., June 11. (Special.) Commencement is on this week at the Oregon Agricultural College, and that is a reminder that in growth and perfecting it has been an epochal year in the in stitution. The enrollment for the year now closing reached a total of 1156, against 835 for 1907. The increase in numbers has not, however, kept pace with the growth in studentship and col legiate progress. An air of "'doing things" has pervaded every department. It has animated the student body and more than ever been present in members of the faculty. The college passed through the year without a defeat in inter-collegiate debate, including a trl Btate victory. An O. A. C. representa tive won a tri-state victory in oratory. The football team won the Coast cham pionship and the baseball team gathered in the state college championship. The track team stood high among similar aggregations in the Northwest. More notable perhaps than the success attending student-body enterprises is the perfected plans accomplished and to. be accomplished with reference to the ma terial strengthening of the various courses. Largely by the handicraft of the students, the equipment in the way of machines and appliances for labora tory work has been- as much as doubled Material that cost $1500 has been con verted into finished machines worth S4000 and placed in the laboratories for future class work, all the handiwork of students. Typical of the improvements in all de partments, though more marked than in some of them, has been the development of the arrangements for college women. Waldo Hall, completed during the year. Is to be the seat of social life for the co-eds at the institution. The hall will become a laboratory for domestic science. Equal as to results accomplished dur ing the year Is the development of the agricultural department. In which poul try and agronomy have been added, and the work In agricultural ehemistry has been widely extended. A sample of the deep interest in the work is the recent organization of the Agricultural Club, In which the students have begun the publication of a monthly magazine, the Oregon Countryman. It has' many spe cial articles, both by students and mem bers of the faculty, dealing with agri cultural life from the scientific stand point. The first issue comprises 46 pages and is a creditable publication. Typical also of the "doing things" air about the institution is the awarding of the contract for the new Y. M. C.
