PORTLAND, . May 23.-Saturdav a -. the
an 18-ifoot stajte at Portland, which,
from present indications ,wi'.l be the
extreme height of the flood. During the
past week cool weather has prevailed in
the territory east of the Rocky Moun
In thi is due the nresent ex
emption from extreme flood conditions.
Warm weather during the past few
days has not had its effect in the snow
hills east of the Cascade Monutains, and
for the next three days the water in
the Willamette River will not rise to
a greater point than 18 feet
Between The Dalles and the Cascades
the water has risen at a rapid rate, and
the locks at the Cascade will be closed
to navigation by Sunday if prevailing j
conditions continue. The locks cloe at
a 37-foot stage, and flood conditions pre
vail at The Dalles when the water
reaches 40 feet. A rise of eignt feet at
the Cascades will close the lock to
steamboats. If warm weather continues
at points east of the Cascade Moun
tains (for the next two weeks a flood
condition will prevail throughout the
entire Columbia River basin.
Merchant on Front street have tak
en advantage of the warning issued by
the weather department and have moT
ed a large portion of their stock from
the lower docks. Many business men
hare engaged crew to move merchan
dise from their basements to place of
safety. Steamboat and steamship
agent bave moved their office to points
above the high water mark. Perishable
stuff in the basement of Front street
store ha been moved out of danger.
With a trifle more than 3,800,000
feet of lumber, valued at $50,000, the
British steamship Tottenham, Captain
Mann, left down this alfternoon bound
for Shanghai It is the largest cargo
of lumber to be set afloat at Portland
this year. The work of loading it wa
completed at 1 o'clock, and a few min
ute later the steamer wa on her way
down the river. The (hipment i being
was called. For a long time the vessels
were neck and neck, or rather bow and
bow, till nearing Goble the Iralda man
aged to poke her noe a little way to
the front Thus they remained till the
mouth of the Willamette wa reached
when the race was called off.
District orecaster Beals say the
river at Portland will begin to fall
slightly Monday and Tuesday, after bav
ing reached a stage of 18 feet. It is
expected to attain that depth above low
water mark Sunday and remain on a
stand for about 24 hours.
While this is the situation at present
Mr. Beals explains that before the sea
son i over there may be much higher
water. The weather, which has been
rather cool in the mountains during the
past few days, is likely to change any
day and melt the remaining snow. The
Upper Columbia is still rising at every
point, but the Snake is falling.
As soon as she can be given a general
overhauling, the steamer Breakwater
will be operated by the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company between Portland
and Coos Bay in opposition to steamers
Alliance and F. A. Kilburn. The Break
water has space -for 125 passenger and
900 tons of freight, more than twice the
capacity of either of her competitors.
The Lurline was again ahead of
schedule last evening. Capt. Larkins
report that the lower dock of the "K"
Line is just about level with tbe
water, which is at the 17-foot mark
already and i expected to go higher by
Saturday.
The schooner Alliance left here for
Coos Bay points yesterday with a large

''Uncommon Qothes."
The Xickleodcn i running In full
blast at 537 Commercial street, Herman
Wise's old tore. The first of a series
of nmtisintr moving pictures is called
"Joint Lips" and shows several ludi
crous scenes at a postofllce. A lady ha
gone attended by her maid to dispatch
a lot of correspondence. It is the
maid's part to affix the stumps. Pre
ently her sweetheart join her and as
sets. Naturally an affectionate scene
follows, and sticky withthe mucilage
from the stamps, when they arrive at
the kissing stage, their lips become glued
together. Eventually a messenger boy
cuts them apart. Altogether very
funny.
The second series, a servants' strike,
is even more amusing. The first meet'
injts the collection of reinforcements
from each house other meeting with
eligible young men encounter with
the police and a final scene in jail form
an excelent whole. '
Next week there will be some spec
ially attractive exhibits, entirely new,

There is an excellent Cinemetograph
exhibition at the Waldorf Concert Hall
just now. The first series of pictures
show some very interesting features of
Japanese life depicting amongst other
things the curious methods tbe Japs
have of doing their hair, some quaint
skirt dancing, and many othnr. effects.
The next series shows the difficulties
and amusing incidents which 'beset a
couple who desirous of changing their
lodgings set out in search of a new
habitation. The scenes are most laugh
able and the many mishaps which be
fate the couple are excruciatingly
funny until the pair resolve to return
to their old home. This exhibition is
well worth seeing.
