THIS YEAR'S RISE.
Probability that the Columbia . Will
Be Higher Ihans for Tears.
Some of the papers are predicting that
the Columbia river will not suffer very
much from the annual river rise this
year. The Vancouver Independent savs :
The Columbia' has been about twelve
feet above low-water mark for the past
week, and a large volume of water has
been run off, caused by snow and conse
quent freshets that, held in check by
cold weather in the mountains, would
have assured high water in June. While
many people prophesy high water, it
seems not a little doubtful.
The lower Columbia , may have had
high water this season, but it cannot be
said that the middle Columbia has had
such an experience. It has remained at
or near zero nearly all winter and today
is marking extreme low water. One
year ago today it was 3.4 and steadily
rising, and the spring was three weeks
earlier than this. Peaches were in
bloom then, and now the buds have
barely begun to show themselves. If
there is anything to base an opinion on,
it is that the cold, backward spring,
with . low . temperature and frequent
storms in the mountains, is adding to
the already great depth of snow materi
ally and checking the melting, and a
delay in the rise means,, if anything,
that the Columbia will reach a higher
point this . season than for the past sev
eral years.

herself to remain in the lap of old winter

are shoving out their little bloomlets,
the flowers are putting out their per

county court, petitioning on the part of
his constituents at Dufur for a share to
be expended upon the Dufur and Ante

The' Riddle Solved. J""
A man with a flushed face and ire in
his eye called at one of our gent's fur
nishing stores the other day and said he
had been cheated on his hat.
"You warranted this hat for a year,"
said the injured one, "I've had it just
two months and now look at it," and he
tried without success to make the rim
stay up. ...
The store man looked at it and passed
it back with the quiet remark that that
hat was never in his store before, and
suggested that he had probably ex
changed hats accidentally. Immediately
a smile overcast the features of the hat's
owner and he said : "I'll bet a horse
against a martingale ring you're right.
I thought that the hat got bigger all of a
sudden eyer since I went to that dance

A Valuable Gift.
The second biennial report of the Ore
gon Weather. Bureau has reached this
office. It is the most exhaustive report
of the kind yet published by the state.
The information contained represents the
careful daily observations of many - men
in all sections of the state for a period
of time, varrying from 1850 up to the
present a prodigious amount of labor if
one stops to think. . Then the whole has
been carefully compiled by B. S. Pague,
local forecast official, U S. Weather
Bureau.
- Not alone is the book valuable for its
information concerning the climate of
Oregon, but it treats ot its production
and soils, topographical and geological
conditions, etc The report contains a
valuable treatise on "Irrigation in Ore
gon," by F. H. Newell, of the U. S. geo
logical survey. The crop-weather bulle
tins, eagerly looked for weekly by so
many farmers in the state, are the crea
tion of the Oregon weather bureau, and
a review of its objects and workings find
place within the covers of the book. Al
together the book , is one of the most
valuable ever issued Jay the state of
Orogon and will be eagerly sought by
all those wideawake farmers' who devote
thought, as well as energy, to producing
the best results. "" Fifty thousand copies
have been issued andnay be obtained,
without cost, upon application to B. S.
Pague.

The Glee Club.
TheLadies Glee Club was a glee club
in more than one sense of the word last
evening when entertained by Mrs. W.
E. Garret son. The first hour or two -were
devoted to solid practice, and the
neighbors undoubtedly had their minds
made up that the winter had by no
means killed the "scale" by the time
the hostess surprised the club by calling
their attention from the key board to .
the-festal board. Although the gentle- .
man escorts, who, Btrange to say, called
just in the nick of time,. were a failure
at "singing for their supper"' they kept
up to time in "walkin' for dat cake,"
and left the ladies somewhat ' in the '
lurch. . The latter, however, - came in.
ahead on the last beat, when conversa- .
tion was the rule of the hour, and the
last strain heard was from a young lady,
who expressed the desire to have the
club meet with Mrs. Garretson every
week. Those present were Mr and Mrs
J T Peters, Mrs W H Lochhesd, Mr Chas .
Lay, Miss . Emma Lay, .Mrs M French,
Mr H French, Mr and Mrs J S Schenck,
Mrs Al Varney, Mr and Mrs C J Cran
dall, Mrs N-Boyer, Misses Alma Schmidt
and Rose Michell, Mr and Mrs W E
