' EUGENE. Or., Dec. 30. (Special.) After having receded to the 12-foot mark yesterday morning, the Willam ette river rose again this afternoon and registered more than 15 feet to fcight. This was the highest .point reached in a number of years. The rural mail carrier out of Eu (rene. on -motor route B, was unable to go over a portion of his route in the Goshen bottom and was unable to reach Coburg on account of the Mc Kenzie river being out of its banks. The highway between Eugene and Ppringfield was completely blocked by water tonight and the only' traffic between the two cities was by the treet car line. .

The Ai bany-Detroit train was late today be cause of high water and the Santiam agon road was covered by two feet of water in places near Sanderson's bridge. i The streams rose gradually, so farmers had time to remove stock from low lands and the only loss thus far reported was from washing away .f cordwood and damage to a few fences. JVATJER IS OVER RIVER BAXKS J'aper Mills May Be Affected If k Rise Is Long Continned. ' K- OREGON CITT, Or., Dec 30. (Spe- krial.) The continued rains fon the last week have caused the Willamette river to rise rapidly. Wednesday the river at the paper mills at West Linn registered 25.2 feet above low water mark, and today had registered 28.Z ieet. In some places the water was over Its banks, and at the foot of Jbighth street was reaching up over the road. Hoats have been securely tied to pre vent them from being washed awaj !y the swift current. So far the paper mills have been able to operate, but if the river con tinues to rise it was feared that some of the departments would have to . dose down until the water receded.

M. yesterday, and at noon me gmage at the foot of Stark street showed a stage of 12.5 feet. -The heavy rainfall of the past few days throughout the Willamette valley and the melting of snow by the warm wave which has extended over the entire drainage area, are held by D's- trict Forecaster Wells to be respon sible for this rapid rise of the river, which may or may not reach the flood stage of 15 feet by Sunday. A stage of 14-5 feet is forecast for Sat urday. . Continned Rains Predicted. SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 30.

(By the Asso ciated Press.) An overwhelming vote of confidence in the government In connection with the Tours socialist congress was given by the Chamber of deputies tonight. The vote, which was 451 to 54, came after the gaunt let had been thrown down to tne government by the new communist party of France, formed at the Tours congress, and acceptance of the chal lenge on behalf of the government had been made by Minister of the Interior Steeg. Deputy Marcel Cachln told the chamber that revolutionary efforts by the new communist party would con tinue despite any action the govern ment might take. In reply, M. Steeg warned the revolutionary party that any attempt at revolution would be suppressed with all the means in the hands of the government. Government Policy Debated. The debate arose from an inter pellation of M..Vallta, a royalist dep uty, who asked the government to explain why Clara Zetkin, member of the German relchstag and of the ex ecutive committee of the third Inter nationale, had been permitted to en ter France and speak at the Tours congress. ThA jlfnftiftsMnn broadened into a debate on the policy of the govern ment toward Immigration, the per mitting of undesirables to enter France and allowing revolutionary propaganda by foreigners and French memDers of the communist party to proceed undisturbed. This reference to the Tours con gress brought M. Cachin, leadr of the extremists of the socialist party in France for years and now leader of the communist party, to the speaker's tribune. His speech, how ever, seemed to be disappointing be cause of its mildness when compared with the speeches he had made at the Tours congress. Pandemonium Breaks Loose. It proved to be a eulogy of the ideas of the third Internationale of Nickolai Lenine, bolshevik premier. and of Clara Zetkin. The deputy closed by saying: "We shall take advantage of the government's protective measures as long as they are extended to us. When they cease and coercion and repressive measures are adopted, we shall continue our revolutionary propaganda everywhere, and at all times." Pandemonium then broke loose. Many deputies jumped to their feet and requested Raoul Peret, president of the chamber, to have M. Cachin expelled. Shouts of "Shame!" and "Your language is dishonorable to a Frenchman," were heard. Then M. Steeg rose to reply. ' Challenge Is Accepted. "Deputy Cachin," Mr. Stee said, "has thrown down a challenge to the government. We accept it. We shall repress any attempt at revolution with all possible means at our com mand. The government's energy will be equal - to the audacity of M. Cachin's party." M. Steeg then deposited tne gov ernment's bill providing penalties varying from three to six months' imprisonment for attempts to cross the frontiers of France without pass ports. The minister made no definite an nouncement regarding the policy the government intended to adopt toward the new communist party, but later many government supporters who are close to the minister told the Asso ciated Press that the government would await the next moye of the communists. Signs of Action Awaited. "When they pass from words to acts it then will be time for the gov ernment to show its hand, one dep uty said. Several orders of the day were pre sented, some of them asking that there be no expression of confidence in the government. But M. Leygues, president of the council of ministers, declined all of these, saying that the order of the day must include a vote of confidence. Thereupon Deputy Charles Danielou introduced the or der of the day, which said: The chamber, confident of the ability of the government to take the measures necessary to end revolu tionary propaganda and the entrance of undesirables into France, passes to the ord-er of the day." The motion was then adopted. and a group of other members of the I right. But the point has been raised that the newspaper should speak for tne majority members of the party regardless of what doctrine they may advance.
