FLOOD STAGE IS
Bureau Does Not Believe
Willamette Will Rise to
1 Dangerous Level
There is little danger of the
Willamette river rising to the
flood stage : at this time unless
there is a continuation of very
heavy rainfall. The rapid rise of
two days ago has abated to a great
extent and although a rise is still
being recorded, it Is not expected
to be out of the ordinary, accord
ing to advice from Clarence Oliver
of the local; branch of the U. S.
weather bureau. ' ;
The Santiam river is high but
has not affected the Willamette,
which was recorded . at 12.8 feet
late last night. , It is said that
a height of 20 feet is necessary to
flood the lowlands, and the local
bureau does not expect this. Re
ports are received regularly from
other bureaus in the vicinity, and
anyone anxious about an abrupt
rise may receive advice by calling
Clarence Oliver, either at 1074 or
at 225.

No time is being lost in getting
the new building under way, and
a committee consisting of Paul

On his return, Prosecutor King
will be handed a report of Colum
bus analytical chemists who made
an examination of the lungs and
aesophagus of Mrs. Sheatsley in
an effort to determine whether
she breathed after entering the
tire, box. On findings of the
chemists will depend to a large
extent, Mr. King aaid, what course
he will follow. He has asserted
that if It is found Mrs. Sheatsley
did not breathe in the furnace it

dations for "increased and broad
ened' activity" in political affairs

"The American labor 7 move
ment," the report concluded, ""if It
Is to be true to its mission to-defend,
advocate, protect and pro
mote the rights, interests and wel
fare of America's wage earners,
