Those resi dents who decided to stay, at their lowland farms despite the disrup tion of travel the high water has brought, were planning to bring their milk and other farm prod ucts to market in boats and on rafts. At Vancouver the river "rose to a stage of 21.3 feet, only .3 of a foot less than last year's crest, 21.6. Some hope tor at least tem porary relief from the rising wat ers was seen in the, report . that the Snake river was falling. Washongal, Camas Lowlands Flooded Farther upstream at Washou gal and Camas, Wash., lowlands along the Columbia and Washou gal rivers were completely flood ed today and farmers and home owners were preparing for even higher water. Operations of a large paper mill at Camas, it was said, would not be seriously hind ered until the 29-foot . level , is reached. Although there was still a 10 foot clearance along the dike on Richardson road on the Oregon side, gardeners in - the district were concerned about the steady rise of the watersrliWnBah county deputy sheriffs -were' on patrol. The river was within 6 feet of flooding an amusement re sort, and employes of a meat packing plant were patrolling the Faloma dike lest the waters break through and flood the extensive industrial area of North Portland, With the river at avel of 75 feet at Hood River, truck eardeners in the area were build ing dikes today to protect the low lands. The stream was near a standstill there today, however. after rising steadily for several days. The Willamette river was also rising steadily, causing damage to several docks in the Portland harbor, hut the weather bureau predicted that after Thursday the rise would be considerably slower. The river tonight stood at 20.3 feet here, a rise of half a foot in 24 hours. The weather bureau forecast a stage of 21.5 feet by Friday. Flood stage is 25 feet. w - Not Bimetallism Says Pittman, Author Of Proposal of Nevada, member of the Amer- ReVOlt ASSUaged Dy F. R. S mr-'jr -watt The only woman officially attach ed to the U.

HOP WT LK LARGE SALE IDE 413 Bales Sold in Last two Days; Prices 70 Cents And Little Above Hop sales of 413 bales of 1932 stock in the past two days has brought more life to the hop mar ket than has been exhibited In nearly two weeks. Hart and WU liams bought 222 bales yesterday at 71 cents; and 53 bales from Lachmund at 71 U cents. Wolf Hop company bought 114 bales Monday at 70 cents and 24 bales at 67 cents. In the 222 bales at 71 cents was 61 bales from Frank Miller at Forest Grove; 49 bales from Adam Orey of Salem; 52 from the Cooper estate at Independence and 52 bales from Mt. Angel. The Monday and Tuesday sales reduce the 1932 stock in growers hands to 2800 bales. The market decrease over two weeks ago, when 75 cents was the prevailing price, is probably ac counted for largely In lack of In qulrles. Word from the east that the government is holding up a num ber of brewery permits for one reason or another may have some bearing on the slightly lower mar ket. These breweries will of course not buy heavily until the permits are Issued, and as soon as they are issued some pickup In the market may be expected.
