Nolta. who Is looking after the gathering of roses on the Peninsula by the special street car that will run down the St. John and Woodlawn lines makes a special request that all roses be cut with long stems and that the names of the people giving the roses be placed with the roses when left at the several stations.

Tuesday morning the special rose car will leave the. North Alblna carbarn at 7:30 o'clock and run to St. John and back, then out Union avenue to Wood lawn, gathering roses from the stations along the railway.

Snake River is falling at Lewiston and from all indications and reports at hand. Forecast Official K. A. Beals is unable to predict a higher stage of water than 21 feet at Portland: He looks for this stage to be reached by. Wednesday. Unless there Is a material change in conditions, the water will not come above that mark at Portland. This will be 12 feet' under the top of high water of June. 1894. Noon today will mark the fifteenth anniversary of the flood of 1894. At that time the water at Portland was around the corner of the Perkins Hotel and the gauge stood a. fraction above the 33-foot mark. At Portland j-esterday the reading was 16.7 feet, about one half of the stage registered In 1894. The Snake River reached a stage of 18.5 feet yesterday at Iewiston and then began falling. In June, 1894. the Gov ernment placed the high water mark at that point as 26.6 feet. On three sub sequent years the . water has been higher at Lewiston than at present. On each of these occasions, it passed the 21-foot mark. At Bonners B'erry, on the Kootenai River, there Is only a three-foot stage, and at The Dalles, on the Columbia, the river is eight feet short of a flood stage. A stage of 21 feet at Portland will be five feet short of flooding Front street and will be only two feet over the Couch street dock.
