as we go to press Orion Kinnersly is
fishing in the street in front of bis drag
Store. He does not seem to be catching
enough to lower the river. . .
A telephone message from Arlington
at 9 :30 this morning says the Snake has
not risen iu the past 24 hours at Lewis
ten. This tallies with the message from
. that point yesterday arid indicates the
. Snake has reached its flood and will go
down. It is to be hoped that it will re
cede rapidly enough to make room for
the increasing volume of the Columbia,
Many of our people having nothing
else to do are catching drift wood and
. storing it up for winter. As we write
several big poles that have drifted from
the upper regions are being chopped
into pieces that can be handled, in the
street in front of our ' window. It is
. quite probable some of this drift came
in from British Columbia, without pay
ing the customs duties.
A statement has been circulated to
the effect . that Capt. A. S. Blowers, re
publican candidate for county commis
sioner, will not carry his precinct. This
' is the veriest nonsense. Captain Blow
era will not only get bis party vote, but
be will also receive one-half of the dem
ocratic vote ot that precinct. He will
have not less than 100 majority in Hood
River besides.' ;.
v Our old townsman Mr. Drews came
op on the Regulator Wednesday. He
has been developing a coal prospect on
the Clackamas, but was driven out by
the high water. He thinks he has a
down-hill haul on the world, and we
hope he has, but he should remember
that-tnan proposes, God disposes, or as
the French put it: "Man appoint?,
God disappoints."
Those of our subscribers who get their
paper delivered by carrier, and who do
not get it, are requested to let us know
of the fact, and also their new places of
abode. In the numerous changes hur
ridly made, the carriers naturally make
many mistakes, but this being a part of
the flood experience, we hope it will be
taken like all other inconveniences, as
good naturedly as possible.
A dispatch from Wenatchie, a point
on tlie Columbia idU miles above trie
mouth of the Snake, received this morn
ing, says the river at that point has
been on a standstill for two days, bat
another ise was expected. At the same
time a dispatch from Lewiston says the
Snake is beginning to rise. This should
give us a day or so with the water at a
standstill, commencing tonight.
Mr. Judd Fish invites all those visit
ing the Umatilla House, especially the
ladies, to register, that in the future the
hotel records may be a souvenir of the
high water we did not want. Already
the register contains-the names of many
of the handsomest ladies in The Dalles,
and therefore Oregon, and consequently
the world, and when all The Dalles
ladies put down their names it will be
a record Indeed.
It is quite probable the Hood River
county bridge dps ' gone out ere this,
Wednesday morning the " approaches
were afloat, and the bridge like some of
our democratic friends was bobbing on
the waves, uncertain what was to be
come of it. A telephone message re
ceived just as we reached the preceding
period tells as the bridge . is all afloat
but secured with ropes so that it cannot
float away. There is no current and it
may be saved. . ,
Judge Condon has ' soma handsome
young elms growing in front of his resi

Mr. Condon had a very handsome big
fellow brought from Hartford, (if we re
member rightly) but is was destroyed in
the fire. Whilejup that way this morn
ing the judge asked us to come in , and
examine his handsome roses, which hav
ing done we came away with a beautiful
bouquet which now is mingling its per
fume with that of our pipe in the edito

Advertised Letter..
Tbe Flood at tbe Lockt.
Mr. Balfe Johnson, who visited Cas
cade Locks yesterday gives a graphic ac
count of the situation there.
The bulkhead -which keeps tbe Col
umbia out of the upper end of the lock
has been in danger of going out for sev
eral days, but a gallant fight has been
made and is being made to save it. A
dam has been built across from the rail
road track to the bulkhead, the bulk
bead itself raised, and all that human
efforts could accomplish or ingenuity
suggest has been done. Superintendent
Borie, of the U. P., generously donated
1,000 sacks, which are filled with sand
and. ready to be dropped into any cre
vasse that may occur. The water yes
terday when Mr. Johnson left was well
up to the top of the bulkhead, and those
who were protecting it stated that vsix
inches higher water would destroy it,
Should it go out, it will, quite likely,""
destroy all the riprap work and possi
bly destroy the entire works, entailing
a loss of over a million dollars.
The Union Pacific is also in bad shape
in that vicinity. Just below the mouth
of the canal, where the current strikes
the bank alongside of the railroad, the
sliding mountain is again moving, re
sembling a huge glacier. . Immense
masses of the blnff are continually fall
ing into the river, while the big fir trees
as they tumble over the bank, bang . for
a little while top downwards, reaching
half way down the face of the bluff, and
then go sliding and plunging into the
wild whirlpools of the raging floods be
low. For a quarter of a mile the river
has cat into the mountain, and the
mountain crushed into the river, until'
the bluff, where the railroad formerly ran
now presents a face three hundred feet
in height. Tbe U. P. track is not alone
gone, but its right-of- way has gone with
it. .. The mountain is moving down so
rapidly that the old Dalles and Sandy
wagon road is now almost ready to top
pie over into the Columbia.
The telephone line bad been moved
down until the poles were within a few
feet of the bank, and as communication
with Portland over the telephone ceased
last night, it is reasonably certain that
the poles went down the - bank some
time during the night. 1 Until this land
slide stops it will be impossible for the
U. P. to lay tracks over or around it.
And. when it will stop no man can con
jecture. ' ' '
Water Probabilities.
what is yet to come,, but while hoping
the end is almost -reached, we see noth
ing to justify the hope. If the weather
remains warm the high mark cannot be
guessed ; but with with present indica
tions there will be yet higher water for
two weeks. .

ing in the postoffice at The Dalles un
called for, Friday, May 31st, 1894.

The water question is reduced to
matter of guessing ; but from all reliable
reports received, we fail to yet fjpe any
bow of promise. ' The following is tbe
substance of reliable dispatches received
today: At Lewiston, on the Snake, the
river had been at a standstill for forty-
eight' hours, ending at 6 o'clock this
morning, at which time it began to rise,
At Wenatchie, on the, Columbia, 130
miles above i be mouth of the Snake, a
dispatch this morning says : "The Col
umbia has been at a standstill for forty
eight hours, but the weather is ex.
tremely warm and a further rise is an
ticipated.", - Yet another dispatch says
the Spokane is again rising. - From all
of which we conclude that a check
should occiii tonight, last from thirty
six to forty-eight . hours, after which
still further rise must be expected
From all points the snowfall is reported
as unusually heavy, and the high water
limit is simply a question of weather
conditions, which so far seem to be per'
feet for an overwhelming rush, of water
W confess to a feeling of dread of
High Water Notes.
The river gauge at 10 :15 this morning
recorded 54 feet above zero.
Cbas. F. Stephens has moved his stock
of dry goods in to the basement of the
M. E. church, and will continue businees.
The water came on to the floor of

in making preparations for the flood. and
by. tomorrow will have their immense
stock of goods above danger, and will
continue in business as though 1S94 was
not in it.
,.. Photographers were on the alert today,
taking snap shots of the high water and
its destructive work. -
Charlie Hall's mammoth 'fish-wheel
that was three miles up the river from
this city, was carried away last evening
and came to anchor on the upper piles
of the D. P. & A. N. Co.'s incline. The
loss is estimated at $3 ,500,
The water is running all the" way

their office to H. H. Campbell's grocery

Mr. N. Harris, at last, was compelled
to move his stock of dry goods to the

bluff. - i
A Kellar, the confectioner and baker,
has put in a false floor and will continue
business as usual. '
Pease & Mays are putting up a build

their heavy groceries, ttock jBalt, sul
phur, etc.," there-.
It has now reached the o4.1 point.
Maier. & Benton, grocery dealers on
