While walking along the Clactamas Park Plan road this morning at 16 o'clock ; two young women were held up and ; robbed by two masked highwaymen. The Sheriff was notified and is now on tha trail. The men are thought to be members of the Portland hold-up fang. The robbery occurred on one of the most frequented roads of the county. in women were on tneir way to a neighbors and when In a thlckly- . wooded part of the road a tall man Jumped from the bushes at the road tide and placed his hand over the tnmith of the young woman nearest to 'film. He had hardly done this when the second desperado appeared and grappled the othej- frightened woman. Itobbery was the only motive, and not gaining any money, the scoundrels dls- , appeared. IDAHO WANTS RAILROAD ' During the present Vrek ! wwtrr Ht Portland will livrraee 'In height ut Ieust three feet, but I can see no good reason for believing the extreme mark will lo greater than 35 feet!" " That Is the hlgh-witter esMhiatt- mmle by KorenHst Official E A. Beals. of the local Weather Bureau, this morning. The exceptionally hot weather of Sunday forms Hie baala of this prediction. At S oYock this yrtornlng the Wil lamette River measured exactly 20 feet ahoVe rw-water mark at the Ash street dock, an upward record (for the 24 hours preceding of 7-10 of a foot. Indica tions are thHt this will lie gTfntly ex ceeded within 48 hours. Driftwood Is running to a consider able extent from the clackamaa River, but most of the water.whlch Is creep ing higher with threatening rapidity, comes from the Columbia. Six feet farther up and Ash street will be overflowed and a rise of three feet above the bottom girders of the steel bridge will cause the backwater to come lapping over the flooring of tha 1'nlon Depot and t necessitate Portland's rail road business with the South being transacted from' the East Side. At 8 o'clock this morning the water was 0.80 of a foot -lower than the top notch mark of a year ago. but that fact Is not taken as being indicative of sny- thlng of consequence. 'She hasn't yet begun to come up," ssld Capt. Thomas Mountain, watchman at the Ash street dock. "Just wait un til the efTects of this hot weather begin to get down here! Then you'll see things hum." With phenomenally hot weather for this season of the year and with more unmelted snow on the watersheds than before in decades, even those who have thus far laughed at the Idea of a flood are beginning to seriously consider what may result. A high tide of 26 feet has een conceded for some time, but this estimate was made In the belief that weather conditions would remain nor mal, a thing they have entirely failed Captain Thomas Mountain hss been in charge of the Ash street dock where offi cial measurements along the water frnt are taken, since January 1, 1878. and says he never before saw conditions aa they now are. 'Things will be humming when the efTects of the last batch of really hot weather get down here," he ssld to The Journal this morning. More Drift to Come. "Tou can see by the amount of drtfl that Is running this morning that the Clackamas has been brought up con siderably by the hot spell, and within a comparatively few hours the Willam ette will also show signs. We are al ready 'experiencing trouble in Keeping the drift away from the docks, and if the Willamette feeds down as much debris proportionately as has the1 Clacka mas there will be still greater trouble. However, there is nearly always enough backwater from the Columbia to pre vent the current being strong here, oth erwise there ' would be grave danger from the drift Jams." -.- Captain Mountain has the records of all floods .witnessed by Portland at his command. Pointing at the gauge in ex planation of his remarks, he said: '"f,Bfx "feet -more water will send ir'out Into Mh street,- but long before that mark Is reached streets farther down the waterfront will be flooded. The river came up 0.70 of a foot yesterday and 'last night, and"-the mark -shown- ttris morning that it Is exceeding this record. It will be apt to Increase In the rapidity of its fluctuation the longer the hot weather continues, or until the snow is all gone. Yesterday's weather would melt snow as fast as though a vol cano were smoking under It and today is Just about as bad. "The big flood of 1894 brought the water to the windows of the Ash street dock buildings and steamboat landings had td be made on the roof. Of course, that was 13 feet more water than we have today, but all things are possible. We had to raise the windows then to keep the drift from breaking the glass, and then run a boom along the building to fend off floating logs. Conditions were similar in other districts. They. had to open the bridge draws and leav them open, and East Side residents pects, Have Deserted the Army and Are Still at Large. This morning Deputy District At torney Spencer called at the police sta tion, and drew un the two comolalnta snd issued the warrants, although he f of he Opera House in Menomonle. had not been sent for. "We should have been notified at once." said Mr. Spencer this morning. "It Is expedient that we should know about all criminal arrests, trmt we may begin at once to Wis., Is the secretary and treasurer, said Mr. Cort today. "This is done in conjunction .with C. P.

The police at present do not recognise us, however. Complaints charging William Van Wagner and William Flood With high way robbery were drawn up by Deputy District Attorney Arthur Spencer this morning, and were signed by Detective Joseph Day. Later warrants were Is sued, and will be served on the alleged highwaymen at Vancouver Barracks this afternoon. Van Wngner and Flood have been placed under arrest by the military theatres of North Dakota and the prln clpal towns of Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota, in the great region known as the copper country.

Oeorge Scogglns, one of the victims, went to Vancouver yes terday and as soon as he saw the man under arrest, pronounced him the chief highwayman. . Van Wagner is a very tall man, with broad shoulders, and" very little legs, and is quite easily-, identified for that reason. Adams, the other soldier under arrest, was also Identified by Mr. Scog glns aa one of the hold-ups. Adams traded a soldier's cap lor a hat at the Fashion Stables Saturday morning, and this led to hla arrest, aa his initials were on (lip tnside. The detectives aldedy government officers, are now busily engaged in an effort to locate the other deserters, and arrests are expected to occur soon.

The project for a minature railroad waa acted upon xavorably and negotla Hons with the owners of the amuse ment enterprise will' be concluded by the special committee in a day or two. A proposed concession, allowing the sale of Ice ' cream and other refresh ments waa dropped for the time being. and it Is unlikely that anything or the kind will be undertaken this season. Commissioner Meyer Introduced the subject by stating that he was In favor of some additional amusements for the children, particularly. He favored concession to proper persons. . under control of the Board, for the sale of re freshments. This aroused considerable discussion. Secretary Elliott opposing the granting of any concessions, on the ground that It would establish a prece dent that might lead to. undesirable re sults. - Mr. Meyer thought it would not vio late the conservative policy vof the Board to grant the one concession for refreshments and he urged that the pro ject be tried for the one season. Mayor Williams took a hand in the discussion and terminated it with the remark that the sale of cooling drinks and other articles of refreshment should be conducted from a fine build ing, of suitable size and graceful In de sign. The Mayor declared that the Board could do nothing more this sea son In the way of buildings and so he suggested that the matter go over to next, year. This appeared to satisfy the other members and the refreshment project -waa 'dropped. Minature Railroad. There was something of an argument aver th. proposed, construction of . miniature railroad at the City Park. A site had been recommended by the com mittee having the matter In charge, with the proviso thai satisfactory ar rangements be made with the owners to pay the city a proportion of the grass receipts of the enterprise. , The Board decided to permit the op eration of the railway on the site chosen provided the owners would agree to pay the city 15 per cent of the gross receipts. It was stated that the mina ture railroad will be 1n operation within j two weeks. .'., To aid the Woodmen irt making a success of their forthcoming street fair and carnival, the Park Board allotted to the organization the use of the -north, park blocks. A motion toUlie effect that no amuse ments be conducted or, articles sold In the City Park except under the control of theBoard. was adopted. . . BBAL E STATU TBASSPSBS. B. M.
