Stock and ranch property will suffer. Of such height and ap force are ths tides that they have either overflowed or broken down dykes which heretofore have been considered absolutely 4 safe. In the vicinity of Marsh- -field. Astoria and Aberdeen, Wash., the situation has become ' w extremely grave, and It is ex- pected that it Is even worse In the lower sections of the coast, ' whose Isolated location makes It Impossible"' to" reach them by w telegraph. "l , - (By Journal Leaaad Salem Wire.) Salem, Jan. 23. The fourth annual convention of the Oregon and Idaho De velopment congress will convene in the hall of representatives next Friday, Jan uary 89, the convention will extend over two days, It being the plan to hold three busy sessions, one on Friday afternoon, another on Friday evening and the last on Saturday morning, when the business session, including the election of offi cers, will close the convention. It is assured that the legislature will -adjourn Friday at noon to accommodate the congreHS. The congress will be presided over by 8. A. Lowell of Pendleton, president of the congress. Some or tne most promt nent men of the state will take part, in cluding Sanator-elect Chamberlain. The tf 1 e " (Special blipatcb to The Journal,) Astoria, Or Jan. 33. Tides of un precedented height have swept into the r mouth of the river .the past three days and have inundated all of the low lying , country, In some instances causing much harm. Again this afternoon the tide i was very high and the waters show no Abatement. In this city many cellars ; have been flooded, causing damage to ' business stocks, and it has been possible to touch the waters of the river from ' the docks, something that even the old ' est residents speak of with amazement. In the vicinity of Hammond and War - ronton the whole country is inundated. .. with consequent loss to ranchers and others. - e ejulekly and unexpectedly did the waters rise that in numbers of in . stances cattl were caught in the fields and stood for hours in water up to their shoulders. . Small streams are swollen end-dykes have been broken In by the ravages of the waters and it has been difficult to rescue cattle. That many cattle along the lower river will perish before gotten to high lands or will V2 sicken and later die from exposure ? seems very probable. ' r. - In the Warrenton district and' along S. Ctha Lewis and. Clark rivers virtually all t-1 of the dykes are broken in and the water has flooded the ranch lands. Some t , amall bridges are down and the county r. roads are under water, shutting off the - ordinary means of communication. The Ji tides have rushed to . In the past two r days like small tidal waves, i' The loss will be the greatest o the '.dyked lands and to the dykes them t" selves. The high waters are due to the unusually high tides, for which no ade J,. quate reason is given,- and to the high K water coming aown me voiumoia river, f. Severe Loss About Coos Bay. (Special Dispatch to Tba Journal.) MarshfielcL Or., Jan. 23. Immediate steps are being taken for the relief of " a large portion, of Marshfleld, which ;, was flooded by the highest tide wave ever known' here. The high water came after a severe wind and rain storm. A s ' number of business houses and the oc-J- cupants of BO or more residences are in--. ronvenlenced and all suffered small i damage which will aggregate several thousand dollars. ... r '.- The houses in the flooded district are built on high foundations and that part a of the city -has never been -filled in. j. With the dike on one side and the hills ; .on the other. It forms an enormous lake, ;' covering a dosen blocks. The water in ;.' the bay was so high that It flowed over ' the dike. . The latter has broken but was repaired wttn & riooa gate. Tne water is almost level with the first . floor of all the houses. There is no ' further Immediate danger unless there ' should be another high tide, which is ' - not anticipated. The large hnaln will i be drained with difficulty.

J, NJi 'Teal has been selected as one of a committee of 11 to prepare a definite plan for the conservation of the country's natural resources. - "Thl committee," said Secretary Tom Shlpp of the national ' conservation commission, serving under Chairman Plnchot as the latter'a executive offi cer for the whole broad scheme, 1s the most vital of all yet named. Here tofore there have been numerous com missions, conferences, addresses, pub lications and other, agencies- for . edu eating pubHa sentiment up to the de sired standard of appreciation of the necessity of a broad plan for conser vation as set forth in the president's special message sent to congress yes terday. Now, it la belfeved, the people as a whole realise the situation and want steps taken to trevnnt f ha wuta ot resources ana mis committee or 11, or wmcn Mr. I'incnot wui oe a mern ber, will be expected to go over the entire ground, correlate all elements, coordinate all former movements ana present a complete, consistent and In telligent plan. The work will be ardu ous, calling for large expense of time ana serious tnougnt as wen as ability. Klgb aistlaotlom In Appolntmsat, . 'The selection of Mr. Teal makes him one of the six men only who were taken from non-official life the country over. His previous labors and the results he has achieved made him one of the first men decided on for this distinguished position." Those selected for these labors are taken from among men who have been regarded by the present administration as favoring Roosevelt's conservation policies, regardless of party nolltica. and I am told they will be received by the new administration with the same degree of broad minded favor, not based on partisanship. From my observa tion of the progress of events here. Mr. Teal's appointment-marks him as having won by persistence and a hiarh order of intelligence, coupled with ex haustive knowledge of the wests re sources and economic necessities, a real ly conspicuous position at the national capital. His recognition will give Ore gon a vantage point, although his ef forts must be broadly national, in no sense provincial or selfish for his home taie. Leo a. Coaea at White Horns. Leon Cohen, a merchant of Pendle ton, with Mrs. Cohen, is here en route to the Holy Land, sailing from New York January 30. They will be ab sent six months. Mr. Cohen called on t,he president, today. Introduced by .Ben. ator1 Bourne,' who procured a special call, after all other persons had been ordered excluded from the president's offices. Ths last gf the day's callers had been admitted; and the word had been given by Mr. Roosevelt, "Let no more In," when Bourn asked as a per sonal favor the admission of the Ore gon nan. Mr. Cohen, briefly spoke of the president's conservation policy, commending it,' as he did to a number 1 oi memoers or tne caDinet upon whom he called. "I am glad to meet western people," said Secretary Wilson to him, "but I want to tell you one thing, I never met a man from that region who could grasp Its possibilities of development or knew one tenth of what will come to it In the future." Waterways Bonds. Waterways advocates have settled down to bond Issues as the only hope for approximately adeauate river and harbor appropriations. The shortage in the treasury, so they tell me, will op erate to give the opponents of a water ways appropriation an advantage in preventing the passage of a bill this year, and the only fighting ground left seems to be the issue of bonds under wbat Is known as the Ransdell-Teal plan, for f 50,000.000 bonds annually for 10 years to come. AJdrlch Claims Tictory. By a peculiar agreement between the liberals and the insurgents in the sen ate, the bill to Increase the salary of the president and other officials and judges became a bone of contention be tween the Aldrlch and anti-Aldrlch forces, resulting In a victory for the Aldrlch senators.. This story is told me by a man who executed orders for Aldrlch during th fight: "When Bourne originally Introduced his salarv increase bill, thera was no division sis to conservatives or radicals. .Bourne is well known as a progressive senator, all his colleagues knowing he stands for the policies for which Roosevelt stands, as well as for other measures onmmonl-g- known win nrnrrea. I sive, aucn as tne uregon plan or popu lar election oi iwnaiors. "Borah of Idaho offered -an oblection to the proposed Increase, when it had Deen incorporates in the legislative, executive arid judicial appropriation bill. At first the senators divided according to their ideas ss to the merits of the measure, the conservatives being on both sides of the question. But when Beverldge thought he saw an opportuni ty to align the radicals so as to beat lis, he seised oa the salary Increase bill as lust as good as any other, and Im mediately began to line up the in surgents. Our people got wind of the mstter. Aldrlch returned -from New York night before last. We bad almost lost th fight before Aldrlch arrived, at one .time having only -on majority. After tile Rhode Island man came back we beat them with- 14 votes and had five votes to spare which we didn't use. Beaotloaarlea Claim Control. "It was a peculiar situation.' Bourne, the progressive, was brought ' Into a position, momentarily, of opposition to the liberals with whom he has had so much In common. But it proved our people liad control of th senate and that the insurgents had lnaurged in vain." The Aldrlch element claims It will be able to control commute assign ments In the coming congress and that the Insurgents will fall in the attempt to force the reorganisation of commit tee chairmanships and memberships so as to tecognlce new members mora than in the past. - The insurgents r.av not lost hope of being able to compel attention to their aemanas. r I' 'I. . w .

LESS MONEY FOR HEIRS-AT-LAW New Bill in Legislature 5 Would Widen Scope of r. Inheritance Tax Law. ' Important., changes 'are ' prbposed In the Inheritance tax -law by a bill In troduced In the house by Reynolds of Marion. ' By the proposed amendment the scope of the law is widened, both as to the range of the grantees coming under the law and the sums which are amenable to it.
