Tem- vjTc Predicted. v BACK WATER IS EXPECTED Depth of 17 Feet Above Zero Estimate for Tomorrow. STORM SIGNALS DISPLAYED Latrt nendlngs by Weather Bu reau Indicate Graver Conditions and Hreaking of Ice Jams In Columbia Is Added Menace. River conditions are critical. More rain Is predicted, also higher tempera tures In the Cascades, which will cause rapid melting- of the snow. There is the further danger of Ice breaking up In the Upper Columbia, causing that stream to rise rapidly, in which event the flow In the Willamette would be checked and a higher flood stage would be reached than otherwise would be the case. That Is the latest information deal ing with the freshet situation, con tained in a report given out from the weather bureau last night. It is pre dicted the river here will attain a height of 15.5 feet above zero today nd 17 feet tomorrow, the latter esti mate being- half a foot more than was forecast from Monday's observations. Stores 9lgnala Displayed. The Weather Bureau officials or dered storm warnings posted at 6:40 o'clock last night at the entrance to the Columbia River, Grays Harbor and the Straits of Fuca for strong south and southeast gales, as a new depres sion was found approaching the Wash ington coast At 5 o'clock last night the wind was from tha south at the moutn or tne river and had attained a velocity the of 42 miles an hour, the sea being moderate. Rala Today Expected. Light rain fell in Western Oregon and Washington yesterday, with snow In portions of Montana, the Dakotas and Minnesota, and the conditions are regarded as favorable for rain here to day. with slightly higher temperatures, particularly In the Cascade Mountains. Such an increase will add to the dangei of slides, besides materially increasing the flow of melted snow to the low anda. The most serious result of the high wster troubles so far was the closln of the locks and canal at Oregon City yesterdsy. the guard lock there bein unablo to operate after the rive reached a stage of 11.8 feet. The sit uation precludes river-traffic being car rled on between Portland an Upper Willamette River points for the present.

GIN GRAVY QUITE POPULAR ius H. Yungcberg Said Ho Found Special Brew Half Whisky and Said Suspicions Were Aroused ! i by Prosperity of Patrons. "Could a man you didn't know get J drink of the ginger ale mixture?" No." "Though you didn't see the liquors mixed, you are Well satisfied that cer- tain of the bottles contained inioxi- eating liquor?" I "Yes." Torn between fidelity to Oeorge Schultz his employer for four, friend for nine years and the sanctity of his oath, Fred Fergonia, of 116 Buffalo street, bartender in the Perkins tem- 1 perance buffet, made these admissions I yesterday in the court of District Judge Davton. surrendering to the fire or questions by District Attorney Evans. All Evidence Submitted. The trial of Schultz for maintaining a nuisance win continue loaay. iu evidence was in yesterday and the at torneys will open the argument bo- fore the jury this morning. The prominence or tne case atiracica several hundred visitors to the court- room yesterday and the interest was intense. District Attorney i.vans, nim- self, aided in the prosecution conducted I hv Deputies J. L. Hammersley and George Mowry. It was Deputy Ham- mersley's debut in the uistrici v-oun, his work previously having Deen an in the Circuit court. I John C Mctufl i nd George Estes were attorneys for the defense. Witness Contradicts Himself. Bartender Fergonia contradicted him self on the stand. His testimony was regarded as the most important. He has lived in Portland 15 years and was employed by Schultz when the lat ter conducted a saloon at 120 Fifth. street. Customers in Schultz' temperance bar, opened January 13, were divided into two sets, it appeared from Fergonia's testimony. One set was composed of those who were not know n to either Schultz or Fergonia. When they ordered ginger ale they usually got ginger ale. The others were main ly former patrons of the saloon, and their orders of ginger ale brought them ginger ale in which a "kick" had been Injected. Salee Arc Admitted. Fersonia first testified that two fa"118 of iner alc. were s"ve1- ASKeU H no SOia any ginger me luieii with anything, he replied. "Not to tha best of my knowledge." Later he ad- itted that a part of that served was mixture. What would you give those who ,ant- thri KOCelal einsrer ale?" asked r. ... . lf.nr.. deputy -LlSiricl. Allullli.-J' .umij. "Id give mem wnaiever tuey asRcu for," evaded Fergonia. .... .,. the mixture, what . . " mJ "" "Ginger ale. The courtroom ecnoea win laughter. District Attorney Evans rose and ad dressed the judge for the first time. District Attorney Intervenes. This witness has been trifling with tne court long enough," he said. "I de mand that he answer the question or be cited for contempt of court." It seems to me the District Attor ney's office is doing a lot of trifling with this witness." interrupted Attor ney McCue. The District Attorney proceeded with the cross-examination. You never saw anyone mix the liquor in the bottles?" "No." 'It was always there when you ar rived in the morning, and Mr. bchult pointed out to you the bottles you were to sell to people you knew?" Yes." Knowledge of Liquor Admitted. 'Are you well satisfied in your own mind that those bottles contained in toxicating liquor?" 'I knew there was a mixture." "Are you well satisfied that those bottles contained intoxicating liquor?" "Yes." 'You are satisfied because of the in creased demand for that particular mixture?" "Yes." The attempt of Attorney McCue to prove that Fergonia had been submit ted to the third degree in tho District Attorney's office the night of the raid was frustrated by Fergonia's own evi dence that he had been treated courte ously and that no inducements were made him. Tflts Are Frequent. The hearing was enlivened by several tiffs between Attorney McCue and the representatives of the District Attir-' ney. Lot Q. Swetlana, manager of the rerkins Hotel, testified that he had known Schultz tor 15 years and that ho had borne . a good reputation.
