Beals Says that from present indication the Willamette will not go above the It foot mark, which will be reached some time . during the night. ' At any rate, he says, there Is no cause for alarm, because ths river will rise very slowly from now on, so that those having property Interests along - the river front will have ample time . to take precautionary measures against dam ages. His forecast this morning predicts that ths river will reach the It-foot stags tonight' or in the early morning. after which it will remain, nearly on a (Journal Special Service.)

It is virtually assured that the American troops will not be withdrawn from Cuba for at least two years. - The Cubans are hold ing fondly to the belief that the govern ment Intends to take Its soldiers and its civil representatives from the island as soon as the saw election shall bava been bald. The Cubans will find themselves mistaken'. " 4. High officials of the state department have come to the conclusion that It would' be folly to postpone -the day of slaetloa In Cuba until next July, as the president and some of his advisers have favored.

" ... o'clock this morning the river was 14.1 feet above sero at Portland and showing very little of a rise during the day. f "The t lae lnh Willamette," sal Mr. Beals. "is principally due to the high water in the Columbia because that re tards the current of the Willamette, which Is a good thing because other wise the current might have caused con siderable damage to shipping hers. "The Columbia rose 2.C feet at The Dalles In the last 14 hours. This rapid rise Is due to the enormous amount of rain that haa fallen in that vicinity of lata. Since the 7th of this month ths rainfall at ' The Dalles measures $.04 Inches. ' This Is phenomenal 'even for this time of the year. Today the Co lumbia is 10. 1 above sero at Umatilla, or about 7 feet higher .than ordinarily at thts tlms of the yesr. The fact that ths Columbia Is holding back the water of the Willamette will leave high water here for several days, but there Is very little danger of It rising about -the 15 foot mark.- Light rains are falling at all the stations In ths Willamette val ley,' but they will not add materially to the flood because cooler weather has set In and the source of ths water sup ply - from the mountains thereby ducedJ V.'r The lower Ash street dock is partly covered with water, but aside from this tho flood Is causing no particular 10- Lconvenlenoe to shipping here, t AT VANCOUVER into Portland over the O.

Six feet two Inches in three days is the record for the rise. In the Columbia river at this place up to 10 o'clock today. The river at the ferry, slip opposite Van couver' now stands It' feet. 4 Inches above low water. If the -weather to the east along the river, continues warm, and considering the stage or water in the Willamette river, it is more than likely that Vancouver will see water on the lower streets of ths city before another week. It will take less than a It-foot rise to put it on Washington street. - The small streams between? Lyle and .Vancouver are reported run ning wild, in most cases out of their banks. -.

According to reports received by the local office of the rail way company the water has risen within two feet of the track in several places. Considerable trouble Is being - ex perienced on tho Tacolt branch of the Northern Pacific. A slide which took out several rail lengths of track took place near Helson. In the vicinity of Yacolt and all the country to the north east the rain haa been especially heavy and the streams are all swollen badly. X log lam at the Lewis river bridge on the Kalama Una of the Northern Pa clflo threatened that structure for' sev eral hours, but a crew of Jambreakers was soon on ths scene and the danger was removed. - Had tni bridge gone out trafflo between Vancouver and the sound would have been brought to a standstill for several weeks.
