With the snow melting with a rush
and ruunlne into th river from
gully, there Is prospect of more high
water in the Umatilla, though up to
this time no great rise has occurred.
During the forenoon
melted rapidly all over the city and
cany inis morning merchants on Main
and Court streets began opening the
catch basins on the corners so as to
allow the surface water to run off.
However, the process was slow and as
a result the streets were very wet
during the forenoon. At the corner
of Alta and Main, where there Is no
catch basin, the water all rnsheri

down to the river nt th ti .

currents poured into the river from
every available place. On the south
hill a strong current has been coming
down South Main street all afternoon.
Reports from the mountains,
brought this morning by trainmen,
are that the snow Is also melting rap
idly there, though no damage of any
kind Is yet reported. Xear the sum

about two and a half feet deep and
is packed firmly so that the water
produced today is running off swiftly.
Should the present conditions con

be suddenly melted. It Is almost cer

Umatilla going on a rampage.
