Threatening weather, cloudy but without much rain, la the official prediction Issued by District Fore caster Beals for today. The chances that rain will dampen the celebra tion outlined In honor of President Taft are slight. The special fore cast for today as Issued by Mr. Beals, follows: "Portland is near the northern boundary of a rainy area which Is central over Northern California and drifting very slowly eastward. In the last 14 hours moderately heavy rains fell in the Sacramento Valley and In. Southern Oregon but none of consequenoe feU in tha Willamette Valley. "The proximity of this rain area, however, causes cloudy weather in this vicinity and the Indications are that it will last another day and that Saturday, while cloudy and threatening a good part of the time will be a day without much rain." Elaborate plans have been made by Chief of Police Cox that every member of the Police Department may lend every effort toward the safety of President Taft's party in the two days' of its visit to Portland. All the men on the force will be required to do extra duty, and, aside from the details made to police the streets at every public appearanoe, tha department, us a whole, has been in structed to keep a sharp lookout for un desirables who are euro to be among the throngs. Drees coats and white gloves with either military or turndown collars and black ties have been ordered for the department. Acting upon the suggestion of John W. Wilkle, Chief of the Secret Service the local police have been in structed on all occasions to face the crowds instead of the President. As the President well understands the necessity of this arrangement no discourtesy will be felt by him. The Municipal Court will be held at 8:30 o'clock this morning, instead of the usual hour, and, that policemen who have made arrests which would require their pres ence in court may be excused, they have been instructed to write out full reports of each case and leave them with their captain at the time of the arrest. Instructions have been issued to keep the streets entirely clear along the lines of march for the President's parades, and vehicles and streetcars will not be al lowed on the streets where the Executive party passes. In connection with the pa rades. Captain Moore will have charge of a company of 26 men to head the line of march. Captain Bailey will . superintend policing of the streets. Captain Slover will remain in charge of police headquarters, and Captain Baty will direct the move ments of the detective staff, whose duty it will be to safeguard the public, prin cipally from pickpockets.

The fight in the Umatilla Water Users' Association was brought to a climax last evening, according to reports received from Hermiston today. The trouble has been between the so-called "old" and "new" boards, and while F. A. Yatee, secretary of the old board, was in Pen dleton, in answer to a summons requir ing him to appear and show why he was not in contempt of court for failing to turn over the records and "peal of the apso- clation to George Upthegrove, the new secretary, members of the new board broke Into Yates' office, dynamited the safe and took the records and seal. That this will lead to further suits and more litigation Is inevitable, though no legal steps have been taken as yet. The controversy between the rival boards of managers dates from the annual meeting last January, which broke up In a quar rel and resulted in the selection of two boards. So far the "new" board hae been successful in the courts, though the "old" board has appealed from every decision and is still fighting.
