coast by th. continued high
tides, which commenced three

Stock and ranch property will
suffer. Of such height and

have either overflowed or broken
down dykes which heretofore
have been considered absolutely 4

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

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

' 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

General Frederick Funston Is to be
asked -4o come to Portland and act as
grand marshal on the opening day of the
third annual Rose. Festival, the second
week of next June. The scheme as now
being worked out is to make the first
day of the celebration largely military
in character, and one of the strong fea
ture of the day's events will be a spec
tacular repreaentatlon of the capture of
Aguinaldo, which was accomplished un
der the leadership of General Funston
under th most hazardous chances.

Washington, Jasr-23. 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.
