THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, SATURDAY EVENING. DECEMBER St IK. FLOOD DANGER WAS DOT A DREAM Rain Did Not Cause River Rise as Report Would Have It. to MAY REACH A STAGE OF ABOUT THIRTEEN FEET Weather Bureau States There It No Cause for Alarm From High Water. With respect to the high water altua i Hon the weather bureau haa prepared ' the following forecast : "The river will continue to rise dur ' tag the nest two days, and reach a stage J of about IS feet Sunday night or Mon- day morning. The recent ralna will not cause a stage of 15 feet, as at first antlc 1 lpated." During the past J4 hours the river I rose only about two feet at Portland, i now standing at 10.4 feet It was ex ported that the danger line of 15 feet would be reached by tonight or early to I morrow morning, but It now appears f that the lower floor of only one of the t dorks will be Inundated by the freshet. fThla Is the Ash-street dock, which Is firmly about 12 foot above the low water 'mark. There Is still a strong current In the river, and much driftwood Is being borne toward the sea. A big pile of drift lodged last night against the bow of the dredge Portland, which Is lying between the Bridges at Madison and Morrison k streets. For a time It was Impossible ffor the dredge to continue operations. Tugboats and a large force of men were busy all yesterday afternoon tralgtehlng up the log rafts which wore washed against the bridges at Madison and Morrison streets Thurs day night by the floods. The raft at nhe last named atructure waa taken by the ateamer No Wonder to the Southern Pacific dock. The other two, which had lodged againat the piers of the Madison street bridge ware towed to Ross island, whence they had come. The logs were so badly tangled that It was Im possible to get them In uniform shape efore nightfall. It took three boats to hsndle them properly. The men em ployed to straighten up -ne mass drew at the rate of fl a day and the three ft u ghosts came higher, so that by the 'time the logs were property moored the owner was out rather a snug sum. CLOSES MILLS Bigh Tide at Seattle Stops aad Floods wharf Visors. (Special Dlspstck to The Joaraal.) Seattle, Dec tl Several of the wharf floor along the Seattle waterfront were submerged yesterday and three saw mill at Ballard were forced to close down because of the record high tide on Puget sound within the memory of the Mast Inhabitant At about the noon hour for several ways the tides have been running above "i the usual mark but yesterday when 21.10 feet was reached the record of 1899 was beaten by a quarter of a foot. During the months of June. July, De ' ibcir and January the extreme high tides are to .b expected in this part of the country but until yesterday the fall of 18ti held the record. It Is be lieved that the strong easterly wlnda which have prevailed for the past week have caused -the great flood. At the flreboat house the tide rose to almost the floor of the wharf and sev eral of the dock floors were under water. No goods in the warehouses. . howeyor. were damaged. At West 8eattle the county road to lkl point, built a few months ago, was entirely washed away by the flood. At Port Blakety and Eagle Harbor It la re ported the gang planka leading to ves sels were under water and that all ves sels tied op at the docks looked as if they were settling out of the water. o LOWER AT EUGENE.

The power of Lawson's name on the stock msrket was again demonstrated today when the re port that he was coming to Now Tork to "do something" caused a break of several points in Amalgamated Copper this morning and general declines in the whole list of securities.

It Is now apparent that Information against Hall had Already been lodged with the president, and that It was for this rea son that the commission was withheld. Among the many rumors afloat con cerning Hall is one to the effect that he withheld from tha grand Jury which was in session last spring evidence which might have caused the Indictment of F. P. Mays at that time. Mays was an in fluential factor In party politics, and Hall's reappointment was then hanging in ths balance. It is slso asserted that while Hall and Ilrownell ware rival candidates for the office of district attorney, in isoa, tne former came Into possession of informa tion that his competitor had been In volved In some of the Melurum transac tions. The atory goes that as soon as Brownell had learned thut these facts had corns into Hall's possession hs Im mediately withdrew from the contest The Information, If any there was, was not submitted to the grand Jury which convened last spring. Still another story Is to the effect that certain sums of money were paid by Hall for the purpose of retaining his position ss district attorney. All of these rumors are emphatically denied by Mr. Hall. Mali Explains. "Mr. Hall was asked for the reasons for his Summary suspension. "I know nothing about that," he re filled. "I did not know there were any charges against me, and I have no idea what they can be." "Information from Waahlngton is to the effect, that you are accused of shield ing persons who wsre Involved In the land frauds." i vThat aheds no light on tho presi dent's action, for I havs never shielded or protected any person, high or low. Cither directly or Indirectly," answered Mr. Hall. "I have been charged at Washington with something which 1 have had no opportunity to meet or ex plain." i. "One of the persons whom you are said to have shielded la George C Brownell.' The story Is that you had knowledge of facts which would involve him In the land frauds in the operations of ox-8urveyor-Qeneral Mnidrum, and "that you old riot act upon this knowl edge." "1 have never had any evidence against Mr. Brownell, nor havs I had any paper of shy kind against him, until within ths past two weeks. If you wish to corroborate this statement I can in fer you to Colonel Greene." "What paper have you recently re ceived and what was its nature?" "Well, It Is a government paper now, and I can't give out any information about It." Brownell's Connection With It, "Mr. Hall, It la asserted that you learned that Brownell was a candidate for United Statee district attorney; that Brownell was involved in the Meldrum frauds, snd that it was because you had learned this that he withdrew from the contest." "Tes, I hare heard that"' said Mr. Hall, "but I think I heard it after he ceased to be a candidate. Still It is hard for me to fix the date. I never had any evidence of the charge wbila he was a candidate. Whatever eviaence there was was contained in Colonel Greene s report which was lost at Waah lngton But only the exhibits attached to that report were lost." That may be but the exnioits were the-onlv evidence, and I never saw them. Brownell's withdrawal from tha race for district attorney had no connection, so far" as I know, with the discovery of his complicity In transactions of Mel drum's. He withdrew, If I remember, correctly, before I learned of any con nection of his with those tranaactions." The arrival of a telegraph messenger called Mr. Hall from the room for a moment When be returned lie held In his hnad a telegram. "Mot Suapsndsd." Ms 1 havs Just received a wire from Senator Fulton," he explained, "saying that I have not been auapendsd." Will you allow me to aee the tele gram or will you tell me anything fur- III' I Ul ll tUULUMI lie saya 'no order of suspension yet made,' " answered Mr. Hall, apparently reading from the dlapaich. which was a long one, "Hs has seen both the presi dent and tha attorney-general. I can't tell you anything further of the contents of the dispatch." Mr. Hall declared that he had made no effort to shield F. P. Mays, who la named In ths current rumors ss ons of the" persons for whose protection the district attorney's influence haa been ex erted. ' "L 'Mr. Mays' name waa never before the grand Jury which met laat spring," hs said. 'ajid we had no evidence against him at that time. Mr. Heney had no evidence againat him unless hs got It from Puter or McKlnley. Mays' case was not before the last grand Jury. . All we knew was that he had acquired three quarter sections of land from ths Puter ring, and that was not enough to Indict him." "Was not Thaddeus S. Potter, who acted as Maya' agent In holding title to that land, before that grand Jury!" "No, I don't remember that he was before the grand Jury at all." Denies Shielding Anybody. Mr. Hall reiterated his statement that according to tha telegram received from Senator Fulton hs had not been either removed or suspended .from his office. He again denied that he had shielded any of the persons suspected of com plicity in the land frauds. "Is there any truth in the story that Senator Mitchell has ssksd, you for money? "He never asked me far money at sny time," replied Mr. Hall. 'Senator Mltc hell never supported me for reap pointment, nor, for that matter, did Dinger Hermann. "In so far as possible I have aided the fullest investigation of the land frauds and I have afforded Mr. Heney every facility ut my command.

NEW PLANT WILL BE ON EAST SIDE OF THE RIVER Able to Develop One Hundred Thousand Horsepower for Needs of Portland. "Our proposed development of electric power In the Willamette river at Oregon City will have absolutely no effect on sny proposition that might be made for sale of the Oregon City -looks to the government. I wish you would make that plain." said H. W. Goods, president of tho Portland General Electric com pany. Tor some time the company baa been planning the construction of an electric power plant on the east slds of tbo. rlvsr, at ths site of the power station that was abandbnsd ten years ago. Tha new one will be very much Isrger than the present power plant at Oregon City. This will assure It an enormous Increase in Its facilities for gsneratlng electric light and power. The present water power plant at Oregon City and the steam power plant now being completed on the Portland waterfront with a com bined capacity of 14,000 horse' power, fit totally eclipsed by the new plant designed to. keep the. Portlsnd General Electric company abreast of the rapid growth and expansion of Portlsnd and ths Willamette valley. When the under taking Is carried into effect the com pany will have facilities for generating a total of S3, 000 horse power at Oregon City plants, and a duplicate steam plant in Portland that will be capable of tak ing up the load at a moment's notice. The water power plants will be used in seasons of a good stage of water In the Willamette river, and the stesm plant In this city will handle tho work In the low water seasons. Ons of the plants will always be In reserve, for use In event of accident It Is stated that the company's plana at Oregon City are being drawn not to Interfere In any way with operation or enlargement of the Oregon City locks, which are at the west side of the river: the power plant Is to bs constructed on the east aide. Ths volume of water, tt is pointed out Is ample for manufactur ing purposes without affecting the oper ation Of the locks. A report made by a government engineer on the possibilities of water distribution at Oregon City statea that the maximum iiuantlty of water needed for a navigation Business of three lockages an hour would be only per cent of the volume of water In the river at the low water stage. Pres ent navigation requirements amount to but three or four lockages dally, and none at night The future growth of navigation, it is said, will nsvsr require so much as three lockages an hour. The company does not expect the use of the water for manufacturing to present any obstacle to the operation of the looks. The new power station to be built on the east side of tho river win be a ba sis for all development that the com pany expects to make at Oregon City. It will havs a capacity of 40.600 horse power, and will be constructed so that any needed amount oi power can on developed by adding units of installation to meet demands of tne market tor an tims. '.a 1 "The first Installation at the new sta tion will probably be three units, or . 100 horse power," said President Goode "Additional units of J, 600 horse power will be Installed as rapidly as tha de mand for electric light and power devel ops. For every unit Installed st the Oregon City plant a unit win oe added to the steam plant In Portland. The build ing of a duplicate plant hare to be op erated by steam ts for the purpose of providing power to be used during trie low wster period esch yesr and to avoid a possibility of having tha service crip pled by accident. -We Intend to be in a position to furnish power a-nd light not only to Portland out to sny oi tne towns In the Willamette valley, and to meet the needs of ths rapidly multiplying manufacturing Industries In this terri tory." When these plans are consummsted the Portlsnd General Electrlo Co. will have facilities for gsnsratlng 12,000 horse power in its own plants, and in addition will havs a supply of o.ooo horse power contracted for with the Oregon Water Power at Railway com pany from Its plant on ths Clackamas river, practically amounting to a total of 100,000 horss power. This Immense supply of electrical currant is expected to meet the needs of Portland and the surrounding territory for many years. MRS.
