"We think the river will come to a temporary stand here Monday at 24.3 fret. For the next four or five days it win not rise more than half a foot and the river will remain at a high stage tor some time, but we cannot tell if it will be higher." Is the latest observa tion from tlie office of K. A. Beals dis trict forecaster, and with a rise of only one-tenth of a foot between 8 o'clock yesterday morning and 7 o'clock last overling, there Is little to indicate a material gain in depth immediately. "The Upper Columbia, above the mouth of the Snake, probably wtH come up i"nr ten days or two weeks, but if the Snake falls fast enough to offset that Ave will be safe.'' said Mr. Beals. "We received word from Bonner's Ferry that the KootenaJ stood at 29.6 feet Thursday and at Lewlston the Snake fell eight-tenths of a foot up to yester. day morning." The steamer lone was sent to Alt man's Landing, above Government Is land, on the Oregon side, yesterday to take white and Japanese ranchers from low land, where they held on tenacious ly with the expectation that the rise Of each day would be the last, only to be virtually flooded out. Moving haa been general along the river lowlands during the past few days, but as con siderable warning has been given and the water has not arrived with a rush, the only losses have been to property. More reports to the headquarters of the 17th lighthouse district were that the rising waters are playing havoc with aids to navigation along the Co lumbia. Both range lights at Henrlci's went out Thursday night and the front range light at Cottonwood Island was missed. It Is thought that others will disappear during the next few days and pilots and rlvermen are keeping a sharp watch bo they may be reported. As there Is plenty of water anywhere within the river banks the loss of lights offers no particular danger to navigation and the aids will be re placed Immediately on the freshet subsiding.

Water wiis flowing over the top of The Dalles-Cellto Canal at Big Eddy yesterday and it was necessary to blast a channel for the water through dirt on the north Bide of the canal, that the water might flow into the river from the canal and not flood the plant at Big Eddy. High water caused the framework and part of the outside wall of one of Seufort's fish wheels near Rig Kddv to be washed away.

It was set forth in the resolutions that Arleta school has no bubbling drink: - r fountains and no sewerage with the result that there had been constant infection of children throughout the year. Mrs. L. E. Ward, secretary of the circle, declared that the Arleta was the only school house in Portland in which bubbling fountains had not been installed, and spoke of the sickness among the children. Sewerage is dis posed of by means of a cesspool. i he resolutions recited that more playgrounds were needed. and that children attending the Arleta school should go to Mount Tabor or Sellwood Park because the Arleta school had no playground. O. M. Plummer addressed the meet ing briefly and declared that bubbling fountains could be installed in the Arleta schoolhouse inside of 24 hours. He recalled that bubbling fountains had been installed in the Irvington building t a cost of $300 or $400 and that it had been found a good investment. It was decided at the meeting to pre ent a petition to the Board of Educa tion covering these wants. The Joint meeting had been called to hear a lecture by C. N. McArthur, Speaker of the House at the last ses sion of the Legislature, on laws passed at the last meeting. Mr. McArthur ave an outline of the workings of the Legislature and spoke of some of the Important laws passed. He also referred to some of the measures that had been referred back to the people.

No serious damage has been done except to truck gardeners nlong the lowlands on both the Hood River and' White Salmon side of the Columbia. The public dock at White Salmon has been submerged and the buildings float ed from the moorings. The worst fear felt by Hood River people is that the railroad may be put out of commission east of here and the shipments of trawberries delayed. JURY ACQUITS LEE HUNT Ma n Ex t r a d i te d From Mi ssour i lor $198 Theft Not Guilty. Lee Hunt, recently extradited from Missouri, was placed on trial in Circuit Judge Morrow's court yesterday on a charge of larceny by embezzlement of 5198 from Ballou & Wright, by whom he was employed for a time. The Jury retired shortly after 5 o'clock and re turned a verdict of not gnnty. The evidence showed that the defend ant had sold through a man entitled to wholesale prices a set of automobile tires to a friend of the latter and had failed to turn in the money to his em ployer. The contention of the defense was that the indictment was faulty in that he was not responsible to Rallou & Wright for the money. Other Indictments charging the pass ing of worthless checks are still pend ing against Hunt. He Is alleged to have drawn checks aggregating several hundred dollars on a balanoe of a few dollars in the Commerce Trust & Sav ings Bank. SCHOOL IS CONDEMNED Women Complain of Conditions in Arleta.

R fc X. Passenger Agent Being Shown Territory. R. B. Miller, traffic manager of the O.-W. R. A N. Company, Is passing a few days in Central Oregon to study traffic conditions there and to introduce L. M. Foss, the newly-appointed travel ing freight and passenger agent, who will establish headquarters at Bend. Mr. Foss Is a railroad man of many years' experience, formerly having been with the Chicago Great Western at Chicago. Business In Central Ore gon is growing so that the company will require the constant service of one man to attend to it. E. J. Wilson, who Mr. Foss succeeds, has accepted the position of cashier of the Crook County Bank at Prineville. and Atlantic seaboard markets. W. R. Grace & Co.'s offer to send their line here, if the tonnage is available, as presented by J. Cushing. is regarded as one of the best propositions yet made to Portland. This company, which has a powerful hold upon South American commerce, will open that field to Port land with a direct line of steamers, and later, when the Panama Canal is oper ating, will give the Pacific Northwest direct connection with New York. "We will start our Pacific Northwest service with four vessels," said Mr. Cushing, before leaving for San Fran cisco last evening. "One of 7500 tons has been finished, and three more, each 10,000 tons, are in course of construc tion. These, being built in American yards, are designed for the coast-to-coast trade. If the business warrants Grace & Co. will add others, but, of course, that is something in the future which It is hardly in order to discuss now. Until the canal Is open our boats to the North Pacific will come thrdugri the Straits of Magellan, making the trip from New York to Portland In do to 60 days. We Intend to reach Puget Sound, Portland, San Francisco and Southern California In this service." Freight Outlook Encouraging. J. H. Lothrop, manager of the trans portation committee of the Chamber of Commerce, who opened correspondence with Grace & Co. a few months ago. has spent two days with the company's agent visiting merchants who might avail themselves of such a line. On aii sides an encouraging state of affairs was found. Grace & Co. will bring cargo here from New York without breaking bulk, as does the American Hawaiian at Tehauntepec and also in transshipping at. San Francisco. This feature appeals to the shippers, as they have found considerable breakage in the several handlings. While none of the merchants approached promised specific amounts of cargo, all of them gave the strongest assurances of sup port Owing to the greater distance and sailing time involved in a voyage around South America, it le expected that some compensating features will be found in the rate Grace & Co. quote for that route, until the canal Is open for business. Outbound Cargo Assured. One of the most earnest quests made by Mr. Cushing was for inbound cargo. He felt confident of the outbound car goes, there being enough lumber in sight to make this a practical certainty. He said further that he would take general cargo or lumber to the West Coast South American ports, discharge there, take on nitrates for New York and thus fill out a complete trip loaded. It Is this phase of the Grace & Co, offer that has proved of especial in terest. It is believed that a marked impetus to the South American trade with the Northwest may result from regular sailings and an unvarying rate. These will stimulate merchants to reach out into that field more con fidently than they have done hereto -fore- Merchants and lumbermen will go Into the market situation carefully to see If they can work up a substan tial business through the Grace & Co, service. With the coming here of the Calousa in the early part of July the service is to be regularly established, with sail ings about each 30 days. Orders have been placed for the lumber to be taken for the Calousa, through the Portland Lumber Company, which is for delivery at Panama. She will bring considerable general cargo for San Francisco and Puget Sound, and Is said to have some for this port. The later sailings of the line will be noted by the hardware. steel and other heavy goods importers, to see If a large inbound traffic may not be developed for Portland. variance among steamer lines and while the San Francisco & Portland and North Pacific fleets are maintaining a tariff of $2 to San Francisco, inde pendent vessels are said to be carrying the cereal as low as $1.50. The regular lines quote a tariff of $2 to Los An geles and the independents accept ship ments on a minimum of $2.25. The steamer Bear, sailing yesterday morning, had 700 tons of wheat for the Golden Gate and the steamer Portland Is loading a full cargo on account of the Globe Grain & Elevator Company. The Bear has 50 tons of Tillamook cheese In the hold, half for San Fran cisco and the remainder for Los An geles. In all. she sailed with 2300 tons of cargo and 250 passengers.

In a run cf 44 hours from the Sius law, the gasoline schooner Patsy reached the Columbia River Thursday morning with the gasoline schooner Anvil in tow, and while the former is said to have lost time in waiting for the Anvil to be prepared, she Is cred ited with having made unusually good time for a vessel of her class. The Anvil is not the sad appearing object that might be expected from the fact she had been on the beach near the mouth of the Sluslaw for a few weeks, she having gone ashore there in April. On being taken inside she was placed in condition for the journey and a liberal supply of paint has elim inated some of the scars. The Anvil will be returned to her former run be tween Portland and Oregon Coast ports. She will he towed here at once by one of the river vessels, as the Patsy let go of her at Astoria. IAQTTA TO TRTE REGULARXrY Portlanders Favor Supporting Atlantic-Pacific Service. C. De F. Case, representing the M. A. Burns Lumber Company, of San Fran cisco, is in Portland investigating pros pects for the establishment of a general cargo line between here and California harbor, using the steamer laqua with which to start the service. The vessel arrived yesterday from the south with general cargo and will load back with lumber. Mr. Case says that It is the plan to operate her in both directions with general cargo, and if the move is decided on the service will be inau gurated during the Summer. Movements of Vessels.

COURSE OF CRUISE UN'KXOWN W ashington Militiamen Will Visit Alaska on Galveston. In the absence of official notification of the itinerary members of the Ore gon Naval Militia are speculating as to what course they will sail on the Resinol stops skin torments THE soothing, healing medica tion in Resinol Ointment and Resinol Soap penetrates the tiny pores of the skin, clears them of impurities, and stops itching in stantly. Resinol heals eczema, rashes, ringworm, and other erup tions, and removes disfiguring pimples and blackheads quickly and easily, even when other treat ments have been useless. Prescribed for 1 8 years Resinol is not an experiment. It is a doctor's prescription which proved so successful for skin and scalp troubles that it has been used by other doctors all over the country for eighteen years. No other treatment for the skin now before the public can show such a record of professional approval. Practically every druggist, large or small, sells Resinol Ointment (50c and $1) and Resinol Soap (25c), but you can test them at our expense if you prefer.

The schooner Luzon, which signed her crew Thursday, paid the higher rate, and such a scarcity exists that It is thought 30 will be maintained until the Fall wheat fleet arrives. The British ship Port Caledonia, which is soon to be ready for sea, has lost but a few men, and as she has a number of apprentices aboard may not be delayed long. At this' season few sailors hang about the waterfront, most of them choosing either to work in the country or join the coastwise fleet. Wages for firemen on tramp steamers have not been advanced definitely, though In one instance a slight in crease was granted. Marine Xotes. With 3140 tons of wheat the steamer Portland has cleared for Los Angeles. Captain Arthur Rtggs has replaced Captain W. W. McCully as master of the steamer Undine.

Lieutenant-Commander Blair, rank ing officer of the Oregon Naval Militia, expects to have upwards of 100 men and at least six officers from the Port land divisions. There will be official calls exchanged between officers of the Boston and those of the St. Louis, and men of the militia will inspect the St. Louis to become familiar with their prospective abiding place for 10 days. FODDER BTD DISAPPOINTING With Ti scrim i nation Klimlnated Portlanders Ignore Business. Those who labored to have Portland made a shipping point for the United States Army, the same as Puget Sound, and brought about a condition that places both ports on the same footing for the first time In ten years, are per turbed because Albers Brothers was the only rirm to bid Tuesday on the deliv ery of 3000 tons of oats for the Philip pines, while no tenders were offered on furnishing 4000 tons of hav. The Chamber or Commerce and a few Individ uals sought to have an order made designating Portland as a ship ping point, and they expected fully half a dozen bids to be filed, but only the oats business was sought. Colonel A. W. Yates, quartermaster department, In charge of this district, has gone to Chicago on official business, and will be absent ten days, and by then It ia thought a reply will be received from Washington as to the. successful bidders in the Northwest. 6TEAMEB INTELLIGENCE.
