RAPID RISE AT THE DALLES Forecaster Beals Says Water Will Reach 16.5-Foot Mark Here by Middle of the Week Warm Weather East of Cascades. The Willamette River at Portland will rise rapidly during the next three days, and by Wednesday noon will reach the 16 hi -foot mark. These fig ures are based on the reports received by Forecaster Beals. The gauge at this city stood 12.7 last evening. At points on the Columbia and Willamette Rivers the readings were as follows: Flood Height. Stations. Stage, tin Feet.

Mr. Beals says that the first of the rapid rise will reach Portland early this morning and dur ing the day there will be a smart climb upward on the gauge. For this season of the year the tem perature Is a little higher than aver age, and to this the weather officials look to keep the water rising. What will happen after next Wednesday they are unable to state at this time, but a.'l will depend on the weather. For the next 24 hours showers and south erly winds can be expected here. A gradual increase of temperature Is looked for east of the Cascade Moun tains. Under these conditions the river will continue to rise and continued hot weather will put the Willamette River over the banks. Several bets were made on the wa ter front yesterday that the river would reach a 28-foot stage. June 7, 1894, the Willamette at Portland stood 63 feet. LUMBER RATES TAKE A FALL, IMenty of Tonnage Available for the Coastwise Business. .Lumber carriers 'to San Francisco are offering for $5.50 a thousand and to San Pedro for $6.50. Sail tonnage Is a trifle under these figures. The bottom has fallen out of the coastwise lumber busi ness and until affairs resume a normal condition in San Francisco the business will continue to grow worse. . Coastwise lumber shipments for the month to date amount to only 3,140.000 feet. This -is considerably less than the foreign cargoes. During a correspond- - ing time for the month of March the California shipments amounted to 7,653, Vo feetiand for the first half of February !to S.645,000 feet. At that time rates were up to $8.75 and $9 a thousand and it was a difficult matter to get tonnage. Then are a number of lumber craft n the river but they are principally for ties for. Sail Pedro and Redondo. They were 'chartered some time ago. i. - - . ' Tacoma Shipping News. TACOMA. May 18.

Stanton & Son, Philadelphia, Pa. Gentlemen: I am familiar with the property. I believe the property can soon be put on a solid basis, and I feel confident we will succeed in devel oping another great mine in Jerome. It should not take long to put the Hull Copper Co. second to the great United Verde mine in the Jerome District as a copper producer. With kindest regards and best wishes-for the future, I am, Very sincerely yours, The mere fact that Capt. McDermott has taken charge and will personally direct develop ment of of Hull Copper Co. is significant to the mining world that the most successful ex pert and mine worker in America, has implicit confidence in Hull Copper. When Capt. Mc Dermott casts his lot with a mining enterprise, staking his enviable reputation upon the suc cess of that undertaking, the success of the property is assured. Capt. McDermott put enough ore in sight in the United Verde to give it the stupendous value of $100,000,000.00. Capt. McDermott, in taking charge of this property, will bring with him the mine boss of the United Verrlft. a man who has been associated with him for years in developing United Verde. .

MAHONEY ADMITS DEFEAT Frauds In His Favor Too Palpable to Admit of a Contest. BUTTE. Mont., May 18. Counsel for Jerry Mahoney, Democratic candidate for Mayor at the last municipal elec tion, who contested the election of Mayor Joseph Corby, this morning ac knowledged defeat. Fifty-one ballots marked for Mahoney were such palpa ble frauds that -Mahoney himself de nounced them. When the ballot sacks were taken from the vaults of the City hall last Wednesday, the seals on several of them were broken. In two wards the ballots were patently erased and mutilated and the contestor, Ma honey, held them unfit for evidence. The hearing closed toddy with Corby sustained as Mayor.

BLUSH IS ON THE BERRY HOOD RIVER WlXIi BEGIN NEXT WEEK TO MARKET CROP. ' Three Thousand Pickers Will Be Needed to Harvest 1000 Tons of This Succulent Fruit. HOOD RIVER, Or., May 18. (Spe cial.) Shippers at Hood River will soon be In the rush of the strawberry business, as it Is expected that ber ries will commence to ripen next week. The crop this year Is estimated be tween 76,000 and 80,000 crates and will require 3000 pickers to handle It. The Fruit Growers' Union and Davidson Fruit Company will handle almost the entire crop. Conditions for growing berries this year are said by Mr. Da vidson to have been almost ideal, and he expect a finer quality of berry will go out of Hood River than ever before. Officers of the Fruit Grow ers' Union also predict a good season and fine fruit. Pickers should commence to arrive about May 25, when the season is ex pected to begin. About June 1 It is thought It will be at Its height and work will be provided for all the pick ers and packers who come. Camping grounds will be provided for all who wish to bring tents, and growers ad vise that this be done. The price of berries is expected to rule high this year on account of the short crop In the East, and arrange ments have been made to cover the markets In Montana, Dakota and Minnesota. AFTER ALSEA TIMBER LANDS Independence People Hope, to Get Some Choice Quarter Sections. INDEPENDENCE. Or., May 18. (Spe cial.) The craze for timber land has been affecting this city and vicinity for a num ber of months, but . the attack that has been In evidence in the past haa been mild to what has now a firm hold on prominent citlsens, a number of whom have found a company to invade the Alsea Country, toward the coast. In an effort to secure some fine quarter sections of timber land held under grant to the Central Pacific Railroad. A score or more depart today under competent guides to settle upon, post notices and make fast hold of their selections. The locators will claim the right to pur chase the land upon the ground of actual settlement and will tender the amount necessary to purchase under the original terms of the old grant. Whether the lo cators will be successful in securing final ownership depends entirely upon the out come of test cases that are soon to be made to determine whether the railroad company now holding the lands can be made to live up to the original terms of the grant. Should the test cases be decided against the railroad It Is believed that those making first application to purchase lands will receive preference when the land is sold. This idea prevails at least to such an extent that a good many of the prominent cttisens of Polk County are interesting themselves in the matter.- The Alsea country, where the Independ ence people are going, is noted as the finest timbered section of Western Ore gon and some very choice quarter sections will be secured in the event the test cases terminate in favor of the settlers. APPLYING " Olli TO STREETS City of Independence Tries New Ex periment to Lay the Dust. INDEPENDENCE, Or., May 18. (Spe cial.) The principal business streets of Independence are now sprinkled with oil, the final application being completed to day. There are many disagreeable feat ures that go with the applying of oil to the streets. The odor is probably the worst, but in putting on the oil It has been impossible to keep the grease entire ly from the cross-walks and the edges of the sidewalks. This difficulty has been quite largely overcome by the use of sawdust on the walks and even the use of sawdust has been resorted to by some of the business houses In order to keep their places of business clean, as the oil soaked dust has a decided tendency to cling to one's feet. The disagreeable features are all ex pected to wear away in a few days, how ever, and everybody aaneaxa to ba tak ing the present conditions good natured ly and hoping for improvement. ALL TRACE OF RANCHER LOST Feared That Watervllle Citizen Drowned in Columbia. WATERVILLE, Wash., "May 18. (Special.) For a week the family and friends of John Merchant, a well-to-do rancher living eighteen miles east of this city, have .tried without success to learn his whereabouts.

He did not purchase any, but left his horses In a livery stable and, securing a bi cycle, went to Orondo. nine miles dis tant on the Columbia River. The wheel was found on the wharf boat by the wharfmaster, S. Slmonton, but the latter did not see the person who left It there. Theories have been advanced that Merchant either fell infs the Columbia River or deliberately, committed suicide, or that he -took the steamer from there. When he left home he had only a small sum of money. Mr. Merchant has a family and stood well In his community. the Pacifio squadron, arrived this morn ing from the south, and It Is under stood that she will remain here several weeks.

City water drawn through a faucet at the residence of Charles Cro ner last night was exhibited today at the office of Water Commissioner J. E. Hedges and some excitement was cre ated over the discovery of a foreign substance In the water that appeared to be animal matter. The water will be analysed by a bacteriologist. It is believed that the substance, whatever It may be, does not come from the main source of supply, but had lodged In the pipe. No difficulty is reported from houses near by.- Superintendent W. H. Howell states that it is possible for frogs to get Into the reeervoir, but they would hardly come down through a three-quarter-inch pipe. He believes the matter Is of vegetable origin. The reservoir Is surrounded by a 10-foot barbed-wire fence, and a watchman is there constantly. Rod and Gun Club Officers. OREGON CITY. Or., May 18. (Spe cial.)

Phillip of New York and Washington, prominent club man, today shot and dan gerously wounded Frank G. Mockabe. a night carriage-driver with whom he had been spending the night. Phillip and Mockabee came to the Arlington in the Phillip automobile. The chauffeur says the two were quarreling about a com mission Mockabee claimed, presumably for his services as a guide. Phillip, who apparently had been drinking, entered the hotel and some time later Mockabee al so entered and started for Phillip's room on the fifth floor and there an alterca tion oecured In the corridor. A hall boy summoned a clerk who found Mockabee upon the floor with Phil lip leaning over him revolver In hand. Mockabee was heard to say, "Oh you have shot me." The clerk opened Mockabee's coat and found that a bullet had entered his left breast below the heart. He then took from Phillip, the revolver which the lat ter was handling carelessly. Phillip was arrested. Phillip has been living In Washington, except for seasons in New York, for a great many years, and he has prominent connections here.
