PROSPECTS FOR HIGH WATER Possibilities Increase With Cool Wea ther Much Snow in Hills. ."MnJ,nUed co1 watnr brings the pos sibilities of a flood In June. Both the weather man and the "oldest inhabitant" combine in the prediction of a flood that will rival that of 1H unless the weather warms up and allows a part of the water to run off. Reports received at the Weather Bu- q?J,.ye.terlav from the Snak River Station In Yellowstone Park give, on March 1. 103 inches of snow at the 7000 foot elevation and 130 inches in the sur rounding canyons. It is impossible to compare this with conditions existing at this time in ISM. as the snow fall was not measured until after the flood of that rr" ..U '"raa tha UTus"al high water at that time that prompted the Weather Office to keep snow records.

SLEUTH WORKS SECRETLY Petectlve of Interstate Commerce Commission Is Here Gathering Evidence, but Is Cover ing Movements. Further hearings on the Harriman merger will be held at Portland, it is be lieved, with the next few weeks. Port land shippers will have another oppor tunity to testify before the commission on the effect of the merger, and may tell their experience in dealing with the road both before and after the merger be tween the Southern Pacific and 0.s R. & N. ' Ralph M. McKenzie. the official scout of the Interstate Commerce Commission, is in Portland quietly accumulating evi dence that is presumably to be used in the forthcoming hearing. He has been in the city for the past few days, but has been keeping his presence here a secret. Meanwhile he has been doing some sleuth work about town In trying to unearth ad ditional facts Intended to show that the merger of the two Harriman railroads has destroyed competition in this terri tory in handling the business of this ter ritory and is a combination in restraint of trade that violates the Sherman anti trust law. The utmost secrecy Is . maintained by Mr. McKenzie as to his movements and his purpose in visiting the city. How ever. It has leaked out that he is here and is seeking additional evidence in the merger case. Railroad men expect, in view of his visit, that a further hearing will be held in this city before members of the Interstate Commerce Commission within a short time. Mr. McKenzle's official title Is' special agent of the Department of Justice. He is the man who gathered evidence from shippers here two years ago on the same subject and his visit was followed by the hearing in the Federal courtroom be fore Commissioner Severance, of the In terstate Commerce Commission. This hearing lasted several days and a large number of shippers and railroad men were brought before Mr. Severance and testified in regard to traffic conditions in the territory and how it was affected by the merging of the Harriman lines Some witnessses testified that competi tion was wholly destroyed by the alliance of the two roads, while others, including railroad officials, maintained that com petition of the most active kind-still ex ists, despite the merger. If Mr. McKenzie is unsuccessful in dig ging up any new evidence here it is probable no hearing will be held. Other wise, the official investigation will un doubtedly be made within the coming few weeks. HARRIMAN PETITION GRANTED System Relieved of Effects of Deci sion in Spokane Rate Case. The petition of the Harriman lines to the Interstate Commerce Commission to be relieved of the effects of the recent decision in the Spokane rate case, as applied to the Union Pacific and O. R. & N. system, has been granted by the com mission as regards traffic between St. Paul and Spokane. In regard to rates between Chicago and Spokane, a further hearing will be held and arguments on the subject will be heard. This has been set for April 26 at Washington.

NEW THEORY SPREADS RAPIDLY OVER COUNTRY . i Colorado Woman Gives Reasons for Her Abiding Faith in Cooper. L. T. Cooper's theory concerning the human stomach, is being given more respect and comment every day. Cooper claims that 70 per cent of all ill health is due to stomach trouble. When interviewed about his theory re cently, he said: "Stomach trouble is the great curse of the 20th century so far as the civilized races are concerned. Practically all of the chronic 111 health of this generation is caused by abnormal stomachic conditions. In earlier days, when the human race was closer to nature, and men and women worked all day out of doors, digging their frugal existence from the soil, the tired, droopy, half-sick people that are now so common, did not exist. . "To be sure, there was sickness In those days, but it was of a virulent character, and only temporary. There was none of this half-sick condition all the time with which so many are afflicted- now-a-days. "I know positively that every bit of this chronic ill health is caused by stomach trouble. The human stomach in civilized people today is degenerate. It lacks tone and strength. This weak ness, has gradually come through a sedentary existence. I further know that few people can be sick with the digestive apparatus in perfect shape. The sole reason for my success Is be cause my New Discovery medicine tones the stomach up to required strength in about six weeks' time. That is why I have had more people come and thank me wherever I have gone to introduce my medicine, than I have had time to talk with." OREGOMAX. FRIDAY. APRIL 16, 10O9. the greater mileage of the, Union Pacific to Spokane from St. Paul in comparison with the Hill roads. This does not mean, however, that the Harriman lines will not make the reduced rates determined by the commission as equable. They will put them into effect in order to get their share of the business but the- difference will be that they will make the rates of their own accord Instead of being forced to put them Into effect. Portland attorneys for the Harriman lines will undoubtedly attend the hearing at Washington, although just who will make the argument .has not been an nounced. W. W. Cotton will probably handle the matter in person. North Bank Road In Good Shape.. Superintendent Russell, of the Spokane. Portland & Seattle Railway, returned yesterday from Spokane, where he went In company with Francis B. Clarke, presi dent of the road, to look over the new line prior to starting operation to Spo kane from Portland. Mr. Russell says the road is in good operating condition be tween Portland and Marshall Junction, a distance of 370 miles. From Marshall Junction to Spokane, a distance of seven miles, the Northern Pacific track will be used by the new road until its own track is laid between the two points. President Clarke will probably return to his of fices from Spokane today. New locomo tives ordered by the North Bank road are arriving and will be put in shape for work by May 3, the date the Portland Spokane service will, start. Schedules are now being made up.

Colo. Mrs. Hoffllcker says: "For seven years I suffered from in digestion and stomach trouble. I was subject to frequent attacks of severe sick headache. I had to be very par ticular as to the kind of food I ate. I could not eat vegetables of any kind, nor anything sweet; and even then I would be in distress after meals. Any food of a solid nature caused a feeling of heaviness after eating. "I tried everything I could hear of, and took many different remedies with out benefit. Finally I heard of the Cooper remedies and obtained a treat ment of Cooper's New Discovery. "I never in my life found a medicine so helpful. The first bottle put my di gestive organs into good condition, al laying the pain in my stomach as well as relieving the severity of the head aches to a very large extent. Since taking a thorough course, of this medi cine my trouble has entirely disap peared, headaches and all, and I never felt better In my life.
