WILLAMETTE AGAIN RISING;
FLOOD IS ANTICIPATED
Clearing away the debris piled up at Madison street bridge
Owing to the heavy rains throughout
the state, coupled with the fast melting
snows, the danger of a flood through
out! the Willamette valley and tribu
taries is' again imminent.
Although It cannot be accurately fore
told what the approximate rise in the
river will be, those who are well ac
quainted with the river through years
of observation predict a rise of several
feet within the next few days, and all
preparations for an extraordinary flood
are being made.
A rise of five feet above the present
stage of the river was the most con
servative estimate made along the river
front today. The river is already It
feet above the low water mark and la
constantly (rising. Praetlcally all the
tributaries of the Willamette are run
ning bank full, some being even higher
than their previous high water records.
The current in the Willamette today
is faster than it has been for years,
running from five miles an hour along
the shore to about eight miles in some
places in the channel, making naviga
tion difficult
Scows are being washed from their
moorings and carried down the river
with the debris which is fast aoeumu-J
latlng around the bridge supports. At
the Madison street bridge, two tugs are
constantly at work removing the drift
wood which has washed down the river
and lodged about the piling at the eaat
end of the bridge. It is 'feared that un
less this is removed the supports are
liable to be loosened, which would mean
trouble as the structure at the pres
of three senators should distribute the
tickets. - . , .
This exclusive method or regulating
the presence o visitors met with pro
test from Senators Abraham and Kay,
who aald they believed that people
should be admitted Just as they came,,
until the capacity of the chamber la
reached. Twelve senators voted with
Beach for the tloket admission plan, but
the motion to suspend the rules was
lqst.
Senator C J. Smith introduced a con
current resolution providing that to
morrow, and also the next day, when the
iolnt assembly will meet, each senator
and each representative may invite one
visitor .to sit oy mm wnen ins eiecuon

This waa adopted bv-a vote of 24 to 4.
