there is still a threat of higher river
levels in the valley should more
heavy rain come. The immediate

It is any definite turn toward
rain in the high mountains, how

now.
At Salem, the Willamette was up
to 13.8 feet Thursday morning, the
forecast is for a mark of 18 feet
by 7 p.m. Friday. Flood stage here
is 20 feet.

The Santiam at Jefferson was
roaring along at 3.3 feet above flood
stage Thursday morning, register
ing 16.3 feet, and was due to hit
17.5 crest Thursday afternoon. At
that mark there is considerable
washing in the lowlands and pas
tures adjacent to the river.
Only other flood area listed was
for Harnsburg on the Willamette,
the river due to hit 13 feet there
tonight, one foot above flood stage.
All other Willamette stations were
below flood levels.
Another inch of rain was dumped
on Salem in the 24-hour period
