DAMAGE BY FLOOD

River Will Overflow Banks,

Possibility of the most Inconvenient
floods ever experienced In Portland 11
In the present weather condition. With
Chinook breeies sweeping the. entire
course of the Willamette and much of
the lower course of the Columbia not
only did a Winter freshet appear Immi
nent yesterday, but there seemed a
chance of backwater complications set
tins; In through a rising of the Columbia.
In which event the Willamette would
surely encroach upon the waterfront
business district. Cooler and somewhat
easier conditions were reported last night.
Dancer warnings have not yet been
sent out by the Weather Bureau, for
thus far the situation Is one of mere
possibilities. And while the mercury ran
up as high as 60 degrees above lero yes
terday afternoon. It receded at a phe
nomenal pace from that point, so that
the thawing process was retarded early
In the night. Considerable cold rain fell,
but the precipitation was not sufficient
seriously to increase the high-water
menace.
Alarm on Waterfront.
Alarm was general alone; the whole
waterfront area during the day. Inqui
ries at the Weather Bureau never ceased
from morning until night. In respons
to all Inquiries District Forecaster Beals
said that the danger of high water was
not Imminent, although a lively Winter
freshet, at the very least, might be
looked for. Still there was the chance
of more cold weather, which would hold
in bondage the great area of snow until
the water now In the river had an oppor
tunity to run off.
Two extreme views were possible last
night. One was that a serie.s of warm
days mlcht be followed by freezing
nights. This would enable a gradual run
ning off of the water without much
danger of even washing the lowest dock
on the river. The other view was that
a warm Chinook would continue hovering
shout the entire region, bringing with It
warm rains, which, added to the heavy
snow, would set the Willamette and Co
lumbia both running high.
Now whether the Willamette runs off
depends, of course, upon the Columbia.
If that SLream swells up It serves to
choke the Willamette and force back
great volume of water upon the course
between the Oregon City falls and the
rolnt of converging with the Columbia.
This back water condition rarely occurs
except In the June high-water period, but
It is quite possible for It to exist now.
In this event a flood of more uncomfort
able proportions than the one of Febru
ary. ISI'0. or of June. 1S94, may occur.
Boating In the waterfront district may
become the most practicable means of
traffic within the next few days.
Kise In Hirer Xot Rapid.
The rise in the river yesterday was
rot at all alarming. I'p at Eugene a rise
of 1.5 feet was reported, while here the
early reading shows 2.1 feet and the late
reading 4.7 feet. Thus It was made plain
that the river could handle a vast amount
of water without floundering out of Its
bed. The current was swift and free.
showing that ns yet the Columbia was
receiving the surplus easily.
In order to set the Ash-street dock
awash the river must get up to 134
feet. At l'-'i feet the Couch-street dock
Is wet. while IS feet catches the Alhlna
dock, the highest of the city.
"I regard the present situation ns ser
ious or.ly In its possibilities," said Dis
trict Forecaster Reals. In discussing the
situation. "Warm weather may not con
tinue and there may be no flood. But
preparations are being made for It. I
don't expect the river to rea.:h the flood
stage within the next 24 hours at any
event.
But whatever the emotions of those In
the water front business district may
have been, the passing away of the cold
snap was welcomed by the populace at
large with a hooray. Tho streets were
covered with water and slush, owing to
the failure to clean out the snow. But
every one seemed giad to exchange heavy
overcoats for ruhlers and wading boots.
Wet feet were as general yesterday as
cold hands and feet had been on the days
preceding. But Portland was Itself again
and nolmdy minded the little moisture.
Gutters Choked With Slush.
The Streetcleaning Department had a
handful of men at work and flimsy clear
ances were made along the downtown
gutters so that the thawing water would
run off. But the gutters were mostly
choked up with the thick slush and by
late In the afternoon the downtown
streets were fit for trout stocking.
With continued thawing an even more
sloppy condition of the streets may be
looked for. The gutters are clearly In
sufficient to tap the minor floods from the
great mounds of Ice and snow on the
streets. It Is not unlikely that the aide
walks will be under an Inch or two of
water In many places. Little damage
to basements Is expected, however, as
persons threatened by such danger have
taken measures to remove the snow. An
army of men removing snow and Ice from
sidewalks and streets worked all day.
There is plenty of work for every one
Just now and the man who begs and
springs a hard-luck story just at this
time la doubtless a loafer at heart.
LE.UCS THROCGn FTVE STORIES

Percolating through five stories, small
rlvuleta of water found their way from
the roof to the ground floor of the

damage aggregating several hundred dol

was covered thickly with snow. When
the thaw set in the water would not

The Janitors were at work at daylight
and continued busy all day but they
failed to drain the small lake on top of
the big block. The water found Its way
down slowly durirr the day, passtng into
the Chicago Dental parlors early In the
afternoon and reaching the Schiller cigar
stand and the Vigneaux saloon on the
ground floor, damaging frescos and fix

"BEN HUR" TOPIC OF HOUR
Interest In Great Biblical Drama
Has Xot Abated.
"Ben Hur" Is once again the topic of
tho hour In Portland, Its staging at the
Helllff next week, beginning- Monday,
January 18, having stimulated new In
terest in the mighty play. Today "Ben
Hur" Is as powerful In Its appeal and as
undoubted In Its sway over tho specta
tor as on the nlpht of Its first presenta
tion at the Broadway Theater, New
York. Indeed, the dramatization of the Wal
lace book and Its Inspired production
by Messrs. Klaw & Erlanger seem to
have been the beacon to- the coming
century. Into which the play brought
all of the magnificence and reverence
which the greatest story ever penned
has conjured Into being. Matinees will

Attend Poultry Show.
HOW POINTS ARE JUDGED
Throngs Surround Judging Stands
and Watch Work of Experts
Closely Fine Display of
Pigeons Attracts Attention.
The poultry show of the Oregon Poultry
Association Is now In full blast In Mer
rill's Hall, Seventh and Oak street.
Crowds are pouring Into the exhibit, men,
women and children, and the roosters are
all crowlntr over-time. Judging lor
prizes in the Mediterranean classes is be
ing conducted by Judge George H. North
nip, and Judge W. C. Denny is handlln
the awards as to the weight varieties.
The method of Judging requires assist
ants, and is exceedingly interesting.
bird Is first poked up with a rod so as to
make him move along a little and show
his manner of holding himself, and afford
opportunity of studying him while he is
still in the coop.
Next, the judge reaches In and snakes
him out bodily, and begins going over
him carefully, to make up the points as
to symmetry, weight, condition, head and
beak, eyes, comb, wattles, ear-ioDcs, necK,
wings. back, tall, breast, body and nun:,
legs and toes, hardness of feather and
crest and beard on the crested breeda
To win first prize a bird must score not
less than SS points. Crowds surrounded
the juBglng stands and the greatest In
terest was manifested as the judges. ran
their hands over the birds, decided on the
markings for each point and gave the
figures to the assistants, who marked
them down on the score cards.
Among the unique features of the 'show
are a pair of capons, only five months
old, exhibited by the Wlllowcrest .Poultry
Farm, Max Muller, manager. One Is a
Barred Plymouth Rock bird, five months
old, which welsths seven and one-half
pounds; the other a White Wyandotte, of
the same age, weighing a trltle over six
pounds. They are enormous birds for
their age, and have attracted much at
tention from the wise men In attendance.
Pigeon Exhibit Attractive.
The women and children are particular
ly attracted by the pigeon exhibit. This
Is upstairs from the main show, and Is
a most handsome display. "You don't
have to wash a pigeon to exhibit him
said one of the experts. "Give him half
a chance to bathe and he will keep him
self as neat as a pin.
A large and valuable showing Is made
of carrier pigeons and the entire pigeon
exhibit, under the charge of the Oregon
Homing Club, Is one of the features of
the show. Hero may be found the compactly-built
and hardy holder of the Pa
cific Coast record for flying 600 miles,
owned and specially exhibited by J. P.
Limerick. The time made by this bird
In coming from Gault, Cal., to Portland,
distance 500 miles, was one day and 13
hours, establishing the record.
The "hen" pigeons, bulky of build, and
great "squab" breeders, may be dis
tinguished from the other pigeons by
their size, and the upturned talis they
have, like ordinary bardyard poultry.
Pouters are there in numbers, a very fine
showing, and some of. them are noted
prize-winners.
Fan-tails, as proud as peacocks, and
with their talis continually spread, oc
cupy one corner of the exhibit of fancy
pigeons. Then there are Bantam, or
Pigmy Pouters nuns, English owls, with
their funny fore-shortene beaks, show
tumblers, whose specialty is turning aerial
somersaults while high in air; parlor
tumblers that turn somersaults In a room,
and Jacobins, with their ruffs curled up
around their heads almost as high as one
of the present style feminine collars, and
completely hiding the head of -the bird
from the sides and back.
Exhibitors Are Numerous.

THE markets are looking more cheer
ful than for many days; but the
economical minded housekeeper will
have some difficulty In assuming corre
sponding cheerfulness In the face of an
undoubted tendency toward higher prices
In several lines.
Many cuts of meat show a slight but
still appreciable advance. Good roast
ing chickens are up to 15 cents a pound,
though there are some less choice birds
at lower prices. Broilers cost 35 cents;
turkeys and ducks 80 cents; and domes
tic geese 23 cents a pound. There are
fow wild geese to be had at about 75
conts each.
There was a largo supply of very good
jack rabbits during tho past week, and
though not quite so plentiful now, nice
ones are still to be had at 35 to 40 cents
each. A rabbit, properly treated, makes
almost as good a brown or white fric
assee as a chicken, and Is excellent
served "en casserole," with force meat
balls. If tender, a rabbit eats well
stuffed and roasted and accompanied with
red currant Jelly. Or you can cook It
with claret or port (In imitation of
"Jugged hare") or In German "sauer
braten" style. Alsolt makes an excel
lent pie to be eaten hot or cold, espe
cially if combined with a little ham;
and Its pounded flesh Is often used In
place of chicken meat for certain
timbales. "creams" and similar entrees.
Fresh smelt has been selling at 20 cents
a pound, but all I saw yesterday was
cold-storage smelt at about three pounds
for 25 cents. Royal Chinook salmon
costs 40 to 50 cents a pound. Striped
bass are more plentiful, and inclined to
be a little lower In price. There Is very
nice sea trout at 25 rents and a llttlo
kelp or rock trout at 15 cents.
Shrimps are rather cheaper than they
have been lately. Now is the time to pot
or can a few for salads, sauces, and
"smaoky" little breakfast and supper
dishes.
Fresh halibut is selling at 15 cents a
pound, while frozen halihut costs iu
cents. Cattish, shad, torn cod. salmon
and sole ore all In cents. mane cou
costs 12'4 cents. Herring and flounder
10 cents. Frog legs, clams, crnhs ami
