RIVERS TO KEEP FALLING
Veatber Wanner, bnt Rise Is Not
i Likely to Result.
Higher temperatures prevailed yes
terday throughout the entire watershed
of the Columbia River, in one instance
the change being 22 degrees above that
prevailing Wednesday, and while they
will undoubtedly bring down more
melted snow. Meteorologist Thiessen,
of the weather bureau, says the effect
will be to decrease the fall in the
etreams. but there is no danger of a
rise. For the next few days he ex
pects the drop here will be decidedly
small, yet will continue.
