The state election returns up to yes terday show an Increased lead for the Republican candidates and settle all doubt about the control of the next leg islature by that party. Of some 37,700 votes counted, Lord has received 19,000, Pierce 11.400 aid Galloway 6,900, leav ing Lord a clear majority. It Is estl mated that the general Increase In the vote makes it over 80,000, with a plura'lty In th aggregate for Lord of 15,000 over Pierce. Ellis has made a remarkable run In his districts and but for Lord's heavy vote in Multnomah county he would outrun the head of the ticket Hermann will likely run ahead of his ticket, though some variations appear In some counties of that district where special efforts were made In behalf of Miller or Watherford. The1 belief Is now prevalent at Portland that Irwin Will beat Reld for superintendent of public instruction. The following is the latest, and It la believed a reliable estimate in detail of the standing of the next legislature: SENATE.

Lake county is blessed this year with plenty of hay, an abundance of fruit and big crops. A Kansas man writes the Lake Coun ty Examiner thnt he wants to come west, as he cannot stand the hot winds of his state. Prisoners did their best to cut through the roof of the county Jail at The Dal les, but Sheriff Ward headed them off with his little gun. Six months in the penitentiary was the sentence imposed on a blood in Lakeview for shooting off his revolver and threatening to burn the town. Empire City Is trying to decide whether to have a Fourth of July cele bration at home or take her doll rags nnd go down and play with Marshfleld Plnevllle has a hen that can cover 24 young chickens at one time. Gov, Pen. nor himself never did anything in the line of political "spreading" that could beat that. The purchase of a $40 bath tub by a citizen of Jacksonville may be taken as presumptive evidence that there Is at least one town In Oregon beginning to recover from the financial panic.

I am like a forest which has been more than once cut down. The new shoots are stronger and livelier than ever; I am rising, I know, toward the sky. The sunshine Is on my head. The earth gives me its generous sap, but heaven light! me with ,the reflection of un known powers. You say the soul is nothing but the resultant of bodily pow ers. Why, then, Is my soul the more luminous when my bodily powers be gin to fall? Winter Is on my head and eternal spring is in my heart. There I breathe at this hour the fragrance of the lilacs, the violets and the roses, as at 20 years. The nearer I approach the end, the plainer I hear around me the Immortal symphonies of the worlds which Invite me. It Is marvelous, yet simple. It is a fairy talo and It is his tory. For half a century I have been writing my thoughts In prose and verse; history, philosophy, drama, ro mance, tradition, satire, odo and song I have tried all. But I feel I have not said the thousandth part of what Is In me. When I go down to the grave I can say, like eo many others, 'I have flnlshel my day's work,' but I cannot sf.y, 'I have llnished my life.' My day's work will begin asaln the next morn ing. The tomb is not a blind alley; it is a thoroughfare. It clfes on the twi light to open with the dawn. I Improve every hcur because I love this world a my fatherland, and because the truth compels ma as It compelled Valtalre, that human divinity. My work Is only a beginning. My monument Is hardly above Its foundations. I would be glad to see it mounting and mounting for ever. The thirst for the Infinite proves Infinity." LOUIS XV STOCX. New York World.

THE WATERS HAVE NOT ABATED Slight Fall in the Snake River-The Damage at Various Points-Port land's Terrible Condition. Reports) from Portland continue to be of a gloomy nature, and the residents of the metropolis are moving to the high ground several blocks westward of the business portion of the city. The condi tion of affairs is told at some length by Mr. G. W. Lounsberry, who, with, his family, was in Portland Tuesday and returned yesterday. Going up the river, he says the first serious indication of the ravages of the flood Is to be seen at Waterford, where tho water covers the floor of Hapgood's cannery to a depth of five feet. The residence of Mr. Win ter, which Is located well back on the bank and formerly out of reach of the highest waters, Is no-v surrounded, the mall from the. Thompson being taken tu in a small boat to the porch at the front door. At this point a number of Chinamen had about 150 or 200 cords of wood bank ed, all of which has been washed away The Eureka Pu'.-Mng Company's can nery Is In a plight similar to Hapgood's, and the mall was taken In a boat from the postofflce to the steamer. There Is a strong current on both slde3 of the can nery, and a feeling is entertained that a further rise of the water will result In the carrying away of the building. At Oak Point the wharf Is covered, and there is a terrific current. At Stella, Wash., the water has risen to a level with the second story of the Larson building, the owner of which came aboard the Thompson on his way to Portland topurchase a tent for the pur pose of accommodating his family until the waters abate. At Ladew the upper stories only of the buildings are visible, and the straw berry crop, for which this place Is noted, Is, of course, a total loss. On the oppo site Bide of the river a similar condition of affairs exists, and only the upper portion of the Hodgklns residence can be seen. I Both Meyger's and Tyron are under water, and at Rnnler , everything Is afloat. At Kalam the Northern Pacific track is all washed out, and the entire-town is Inundated, every one having taken refuge In the Upper stories of their dwellings. Tha house of "Nigger Dick," a local celebrity, has floated over every street in town during its voyages. The residence of Mr. Caples, opposite Columbia City, stands alone, the water reaching to the upper windows. At Woodland the waters are several feet above the high water mark of 1870, and the place Is covered to a d?pth of three- feet. Under ordinary circum stances- the place Is not visible from the deck of a steamer passing up .or down tha river, but now every house can be plainly seen from the river. At St. Helen's, Muckle's sawmill Is submerged to the roof, and It Is possi ble to step onto the precipitous bluff from the pilot house of a steamer. Sauvle's Island Is completely covered, and Mr. Reeder has placed his cattle on float.' To save time the river steam ers have been running on the inside of the island, and the wash from the larger vessels has invariably tossed the cattle off the float Into the river. Mr. Reeder made a special trip to Portland for tho purpose- of requesting the captains of steam vessels to run slowly In the event of their taking the new route past the Island, but upon his return one of the steamers, the first to arrive after his request was made, dashed past at full speed and every head of stock was sent overboard and had to be fished out by the owner with great difficulty. Gilllhan's ranch, near the mouth -of the Willamette, Is invisible, anJ where for several years past a crop of pota toes worth several thousand dollars was raised, nothing can be seen but abroad expanse of turbulent waters. The Portland Flouring Mills Company has ben compelled to secure about 1,000 cords of wood with boom sticks, but the entire lot Is liable. to lose at any mo ment. The Union depot Is entirely sub Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report ft 1 1 ABOLUiB-V FURS merged, and the locomotives are stand ing on the tracks with the cab floors covered. Shantytown has floated around indis criminately, and is now represented by a confused mass near the Portland mills. The. southeast corner of the Alnsworth dock has succumbed to the force of the waters, after resisting their pressure for several days, and the steamship dock Is a complete wreck and will have to be rebuilt. The only available landing for boats Is at the levee, and 18 Inches more of a rise In the waters will, It is feared, completely demolish that. The State of California Is anchored In the channel, and the cargo will have to be lightered. Nearer this city almost the only evi dence seen of the devastatfon up the river was a one-story residence which floated ashore near Tongue Point. It was well furnished, and the contents were secured by fishermen living! up that way. About the only hopeful Indication so far Is the fact that the Snake river Is falling. . Old-timers say that the immediate flood plain of the Willamette river from Eugene City down to the falls shows deep furrows between precipitous bluffs, indicating that floods had at some more or less remote period filled the banks. In many places these gullies have be come bayous, running parallel with tho river. They are Invariably produced by winter floods, and not due to sudden thaws. The Columbia river exhibits the samo features fromi the Cascades the greater part of the distance to this city. These, however, are invariably produced by the summer freshets, making practically ' two flood periods. "The Columbia river," asset tB an old resident of this city, "was never known to be high during the winter season, with the exception of once. That was in 1861, and the cause was owing1 entire ly to the heavy fall of rain that was resjKWislble for tho Willamette flood In the same year." Boatmen from the Washington side are talking of taking their boats up the rivur, attracted by the reports of rich harvests reaped by owners of boats tu the metropolis, some of whom are earn ing nil the way from $10 to $20 dally,; it is asserted that the improvements of the Port of Portland Commission, near Tongue Point, costing in the neigh. borhood of $100,000, are in Immediate danger of washing out Capt. Crang, of the Telephone, states that the Methodist church at Reeder': -Landing was knocked over on Tuesday by the swell caused by the passing of the steamship State of California, The- building was erected only two months since, and its loss will be seriously felt. The old house at Warrior Rock will soon be a thing of the past, its appear ance yesterdny lending to the belief that by today the wreck will be complete. Many other houses have also suffered, ' most of them having been moved from their former locations. There was but little drift in the river yesterday, compared with what came down for some days before, but the thrifty fishermen are still laying In a supply of wood for the fall and winter seasons. A report was current in Portland yes terday that Astoria had been visited by a tidal wave. The story probably eman- nien rrom some parties whose hopes fathered their thoughts. High waters will never damage As toria, hut It is likely that the lighterage business here next winter will be the means of disbursing a good many thou sands of dollars, a prospect which la far from being unpleasant.
