A number of people in The Dalles

The Portland weather bureau to
day served warning on The Dalles
that the Columbia river will reach
stage of 43 feet hero Wednesday, in
telegram received by County Clbrk
W. L. Criclilon. The Wenutehee

of the Columbia, are reported to be
rising rapidly, the telcgium explain

Water starts seeping into basement!
ilong iSecoud street when tho rivoi
has passed the 40-toot mark, accord
ing to Crichton. The prediction that
tho water will reach the stage of 43
feet by Wednesday is taken to mean
that virtually every basement along
Second street will be flooded.
The weather bureau warning was:
r1ent in order that local merchants
may have time to clear their baio
tnents of stock, Crichton explained.
With the flood waters of the Co
lumbia river coming up rapidly, busi
ness houses along Second street to
day began to make preparations foi
moving of supplies and stock stored
In the various basements. The water
stood at 40.2 feet this ' afternoon
which is 10 4 5 Inches higher than the
record previously made by the river
tills year prior to its apparently pre
mature drop.
The first business house to report
water seeping through into the base
ment, was The Dalles Garage. II. R.
Fancher, manager of the garage. Is to
day hurriedly removing machinery
and supplies which wore kept in the.
basement, In anticipation of a furthei
rise. About six Ruches of wafer now

over the entire basement noor. this
one corner Is a few inches lower than
the still dry parts of the basement
floor.
Each hour sees additional acres of
truck garden growing on the lowlands
adjoining tho river gradually covered
by the rising torrent. Thousands of
dollars in damage lias already been
done In Wasco county by the flood.
Aside from the seepage Into base

Tax Levy Possible
For $800,000.00 Road
Bond Issue Shown
In the current Issue of the Ore
gon Voter, its tax expert replies to
a communication from a taxpayer
of Wasco county in regard to tho
manner in which taxes here will be
Inci eased by the $800,000 Dalles-Call-lornia
highway bond Issue.
A portion of this statement is
heiewitli reproduced for guidance nt
voters at tho election tomorrow. It
should be lomeniberod that the
tables allude to the maximum tax
ation possible, which will occur only
if all I lie bonds are sold at once.
It i3 certain this will not occur.
John 11. Yconu state highway ojin
n,.'ssioner, recently said the commis
sion could not appropriate more
than $150,000' for the highway this
year. Probably less will be appro
jriated by the stato. The county
.vill sell bonds enough to match the
Bute's appropriation.
"Tho circular issued by The Dalles
..'haiuber of Commeiee evidently re
ors only to the interest or $18,000
i year, at 0 per cent, on the $800,-
000 bonds to be voted upon, and
ignores the principal. The tax levies

only. Alter the fourlh year, $5(1,000

a "total annual levy of $1)8,000, or
4.8G mills, for each year of the 10
years, except as tho proceeds of the
$50,000 a year levy were Invested al

ceeds were promptly Invested in

tho levies would be reduced $3,000
