FLOOD LOOMS AS POSSIBLE IN PORTLAND INCREASES PROPOSED OVER HOUSE MEASURE Columbia, Snake and Willam ette Rivers Rise Because of. Hot Weather Spell PORTLAND. May 17. Danger of a flood confronts Portland if the hot weather continues for a few more days in the northwest, in the opinion of officials of the district weather bureau. With a rise of almost one foot in the river level at Portland to day, bringing the crest to 11.3 feet, the weather bureau predicts that the flood stage of 15 feet will be reached Sunday. Today the Columbia, Snake and Willamette rivers were swelling: rapidly with flood waters.

An army of 140,000 men, with an average officer strength for next year 'of approximately 12,530 was agreed uDon late today by the senate appropriations sub-corn mlttee which has charge of the measure. The sub-committee draft of the war department appropriation bill which has yet to be acted upon by the full committee, pro poses increases of 25,000 in the enlisted personnel and about 1,500 in officers over the bouse provision. The officer strength is predicted upon the bill sug- jgested by General, Pershing and his proposals as to metnoas oi cutting the present number of of ficers were accepted by the sub committee in principle. Cut is 10.0OO Men , Although the size agreed upon by) the sub-committee represents a cut of 10,000 from the'strength asked for by the war department, its acceptance by the sub-committee, it was understood, only one vote against it was regarded as forecasting its acceptance by the full appropriations commit tee and probably its pasage by the senate . : ." The question of the size of the army is expected also to pre cipitate a battle between the house and the senate provided the lat ter sustains the committee action. The house engaged in a bitter fight over the appropriation bill, the final vote fixing the .strength 115,000 COUNTY JURY .

He found some bad roads, some rain, some snow, some cold; he had to ship his auto over one im passible section of the road, that is still snowbound., He comes borne covered with corns and cal louses from the long and bumnv ride, but jubilant oer what he finds from his angle of politics white-for-governor. White Strength Increases In an interview Mr. Tooze said: "Since, the second day of Mav. I have campaigned the northern tier of counties in this state, from Multnomah county eastward, with the exception or Wallowa county. My companion in this trip was J. V. .Schur, of Portland. and we traveled in an auto, with the single exception that we were compelled to ship the auto from Pendleton to La Grande because of bad roads over the Blue Moun tains. - , 'This has been an intensely in teresting journey, as we have traveled many hundreds of miles in the Interior of these counties, far from the railroad lines. The purpose of our trip was to present Clearly and concisely the claims of George A. White as a candidate for governor of Oregon. We have interviewed thousands of civil ians, and hundreds of veterans of the last three wars of this coun try; and it 1st therefore quite pos sible for me to 'give an honest statement as to the conditions as we found them.

May 17. After deliberating five hours' and l.r minutes a jury tonight found George II. Waterman, former president- of the Kamiah State bank, at Kamiah, Idaho, which failed in April, 1921, guilty of fal sifying reports of the condition of the bank to the state bankink de partment. Waterman's trial had been in progress since May 4., The defendant was on the wit ness stand for slightly over an hour this morning in both direcvt both the state and the defense rested. Following a short recess Prosecuting Attorney G. C. Pen m?U made the opening plea for the state. He was followed by C. H. Potts, Couer D'Alene and Miles S. Johnson Lewislon, speaking for the defense. S. O. Tannahill, Lewiston, made the closing argu ment for the state. All pleas were about one hour and 15 minutes in length. The trial of Leslie Roth, assis tant cashier of the bank, who faces the same charge of which Waterman has been found guilty, will start tomorrow morning. Roth, with his attorney, F. E.

In the interior of these counties, and away from the railroad, in the smaller towns, very few people had heard or either Hall, Patter son, Bean or Lee. Hall Strength Spotted Of course, most people know of Mr. Olcott, and he has a pro nounced strength in all of these counties. But he also has a most bitter opposition in all of them. The strength of Mr. Hall is very spotted, and centers mainly at Pendleton, in Umatilla county. Outside of Umatilla county, in the smaller towns and villages, he is scarcely known, and rarely men tioned. Mr. Patterson has many of the politicians of Pendleton with him, and this is true in re gard to several of the larger cities of eastern Oregon. I know of no Mr. Hall or Mr. Patterson are as sured ot carrying at the primar ies. White Without Enemies "Th Vprv significant fact which came under my otiserva tion is that throughout our jour- rtov fnnnd no enemies of Georee A. White for governor and when our case was presented. communications from these starv ing people, among whom are his own relatives, for some time. The last word from them is to the ef fect that they were at the end of their food supply and were divid ing the little remaining until it was gone and then if relief did not come they would sfarvj together. The story of this condition oi things led the local association to instruct one of its number to tele graph Herbert Hoover tor infor mation as to the field of activity of the Ameriean Relief adminis tration in Russia.
