' District Forecaster BeAhj-wlll Boon be supplied with data giving the exact stages of the river at Oregon City for the period of ten years. The Informa tion will be given him by J. H. Walker, superintendent of the Willamette Paper & Pulp company, who has taken read ing of the river at that place every day, both above and below the falls. ! Careful note la taken of the rise In the river at Oregon City for the reason that when it attains a certain height all the mills and other leading Indus tries there are compelled to close down. When the river becomes so high that there are no longer any falls apparent to the casual observer, the power plant ceases to work, .which necessitates a general shutdown of the mills and fac tories. A.'- ;.SVr.-. ,'',,,-. 7TaTurany7 very much Interested In all river infor mation from the various points above Oregon' City, and Mr. Beals keeps them fully apprised-of the situation. In this manner they know just about how high the water will be the following day, and can make preparations accordingly If there is any likelihood- the danger point being, reached. At Balera the river rose 514 feet yes terday, and Is now 11 feet above the low water mark. : At Eugene It Is 11 feet above sero, but the last report from there was that it had begun to fall. Mr. Beals does not expect the rise to be more than 10 or 11 feet at Portland from the recent rains, but if they continue the situation will assume a different aspect.; . PLIES CHH.EAH riAO. ;. I TS OIULGON DAILY JOURNAL A NEWSPAPER F OF. ALL THE. PEOPLE The bark Andromeda, 1 owned by the Charles Nelson company of San Fran cisco, must remain under the Chilean flag until by an act of congress she will be able-to assume American reg istry. , Andromeda was formerly a Brit ish , bark and was purchased by the Charles Nelson company more than a year ago, When she put in at Honolulu with her masts gone. , She was taken to Eureka, repaired and placed under the Chilean' flag. Later the bark flew the colors of this country,: and It was under the American flag that she sailed from Eureka for Sydney last July. It now appears that the Australian au thorities have refused to receive, the Andromeda as an Amerlaan vessel and her captain has been compelled to re sume the Chilean colors. FIRE EXITS FOR PUBLIC BUILDINGS special comorasxoir appointed TO EXAMXmi TBBATXES, SCHOOLS AH TEWEXEVTS DEVISES PLAH OP ACTXOV OBSEBTATIO Or OVEMEMXEB, - The special committee appointed to examine Into .the fire protection of the theatres-and .other public buildings or ganised this morning and postponed ac- tlon until tomorrow. - - , Already the individual - members ' of tha committee have made a personal In spection of the . theatres and will be pretty well Informed upon what line of work ' they shall carry out when the work begins. :"'...;-:'a;-- From a careful review of the state ments made by the commission appoin tees, it is almost certain that the plan of action will be as follows: Calling attention of the proper offi cials to the fact that the present ordi nances are not enforced. . Providing amendments to the ordl- nances.,ww in me existing laws. ; - Compelling the theatre owners to ex tend the center aisles through from the orchestra pit to the street exits. Compelling the Arcade theatre to pro vide another exit which shall lead di rectly from the .gallery to Seventh street . ;. -r :. . ... Other matters pertaining to this sub ject will arise during .the course of the work and will be disposed of as the committee sees fit. The labor is to be thoroughly done, however, and when the committee finishes Its mission there -will not be a public gathering place, hall or building In this city .that will not. be fitted to cope with Are or accident and to Insure the greatest degree of safety to those present. ?-w . ' The results of one member's trip to the theatres on Saturday are especially interesting. In his own words they were as follows: ' ? . ! "At the Marquam Grand I had no good ' chance to observe the conditions, for there was a light attendance. At the Arcade, under normal conditions, a packed house emptied tn two and one half minutes. There was also fairly good egress at the Baker. The Empire was dark; so I did not visit the place. However, from the previous visits, I can say that It is splendidly provided with exits and conforms more completely to the ordinances than "r any r other local playhouse, col. mmm THE FOLDING BED GOOD 8T0BY O TKB POFUXAB TEXAJT WOTCDST 8TAHD TOB A "cow OAisx nr csxoaoo hotel OB AHTWKEBB ELSE OH EBTH, " TOT BET. " . Colonel I F. Wilson of Texas, vice president of 'the Independent Packing company, settled in the Lone Star state when' a huge revolver: was a part of a man's wearing apparel,: Just as much as wa bis hat - One of the colonel's friends, who begs that his Identity be kept , secret, tells the following story of the Texan's first visit to Chicago: "It was during the world's fair," re marked the Rational secretary, , In - a guarded tone, so as not to attract the colonel's attention. "The Great North ern hotel, had Just been completed and, armed ; with his Colt's revolver which he wore concealed, and a small tele scope grip, Wilson went to the new inn and registered. He was shown a room, and, in about five minutes suddenly ap peared before the clerk and demanded that he be given apartments with a bed In them. , "'1 know I'm from Texas, he de clared, 'but I'll be darned if you can run any con . games on me. Where's the bedr '"Why, there's a bed in your room,' explained the startled .clerk. " Don t call me any names,' shouted the colonel, I know better.V v The trembling clerk motioned for the cattleman to follow him, led the way to the room and exposed to the gare of the Texan a folding bed. "I'll Jist be," exclaimed Wilson, and then he pulled oft his boots, unbuckled his revolver, blew out the gas and turned in." TO JOZH COMBIJTB.

"One flagrant violation that I noticed at both' the Marquam Urand and. the Baker; and for which evidently the man agement Is not responsible. Is a neglect to observe the clause 'and ho seat shall be removed farther than six seats from an aisle.' The center aisle Jn those two houses extends to the loges and .there stops. These must be extended through to the Orchestra pit. The other fea tures of the ordinances, touching tire proof curtains, etc., must also be lived up to." - ' ' . Copies of proposed ordinances from other cities are being eagerly sought for by members of the commission and by selecting the beet features of eachtha commission hopes .to' be able to frame up a law that will cover the field ot theatres and other places mentioned in an, entirely satisfactory manner.. The committee of five will probably be divided Into five sub-committees and each of these sub-committees can be appointed to lqok out after one line of buildings. . - - . The session has been called for 1) o'clock tomorrow morning at the city hall, v : -. None of the fire alarm boxes on the streets are within a block or two of any of the local theatres, except the Em pire, and some time would be lost In going to them. Chief Campbell states that fire boxes in the theatres would afford much bet ter protection than there is at present. He points to the fact that in case a still alarm were sent In under the present call' system, the department would re spond without sufficient men to handle the apparatus, while there would be a great delay even if a box alarm were sounded. Many of the larger buildings and not a few of the manufacturing in stitutions - of the city have Installed private alarm boxes. These cost about 1125 each, but the city Is not under ob ligation to place boxes In private in stitutions. The call cjirds show alarm boxes provided by the following: - Bt. Vincent's hospital.

The trouble that has been brewing on board the British ship Edenmore cul minated in the arrest of Carl' Johanson, the carpenter of the . vessel, says the Run Francisco Examiner of recent date. Johanson Is charged by Captain Ken- dell with having stolen four Cans of paint.. Johanson vigorously denies the charge and asserts that the skipper Is trying to compel him to desert the ship in order to avoid paying him his wages. The Edenmore Is at present unchartered and, according to 'the articles which the men signed, they are to remain by the ship until she reaches Newcastle, Aus tralla. ' MILLION DOLLARS . . WORTH OF SILK ' One million dollars' worth of silk is being brought; by the .Oriental liner in- drasamha which sailed from Yokohama yesterday for Portland, i The shipment consists of 250 tons, which is valued at more than 14.000 a ton. ; y 1 Immediately upon the steamer's ar rival the silk goods jWlll be transferreC to cars and given rapid transit East The consignment goes principally to New York. : Six cars will be required to transport It, and the train will make passenger tlroe. ' Baggage cars will be used, and it will be, the first t line In the history of the Q. R. & N. that a train of that char acter ever ran over its line. . A freight train composed of box;cars, it is explained, would answer the pur pose fully as well were It not for the great value of the goods. It would be possible for bandits to hold up the train crew and cart away several thousand dollars' worth of silk. With a passenger train such a plan could not be so easily carried out . . . '' The Indraaamha Isbrlnglng -a full cargo. All told it win amount to 16 cars. A big portion of It consists of exhibits from Manila for the Bt Louis exposition -probably enough, It is said, to make 160 oars. There is also a big shipment of Jute and hemp coming frotn the Philippines, and in addition to the ' JAKES SOUil BOJJi, he Alaska Pacific Navigation .com pany has purchased the steamer James Dollar from the Dollar Steamship com pany of San Francisco, and will place her In the Copper river and Resurrection bey route.

There Is no tariff on raw silk, hemp, jute or tea; neither Is ' there on the Exhibits which are being taken to the St. Louis exposition. The latter are designated as bonded goods, and at the close of the centennial .will be taken back to the Orient In the event however, that they should be disposed of, the owners will be compelled to pay the regular duty before a transfer of ownership Is made. ; - ,, : For this reason the officers at the custom house say that the big cargo which is en route will mean nothing to' the government but a lot of hard work for US employes.
