Hiaii WATER IN DESCHUTES River Tullest It has been for Ulght Years or More. Old settlers on the Deschutes say the river is about at its record mark. It is certain the stream has not been so high for tight years. At Dcnd, it, is jnily, about 18' iuch.es; syMiJfcJwitM IffflWM muritinr tl.rt rt?M .l.n ..t..

Uelow that point the lava fields aflbrd relief for the pent up waters and most of the surplus is swallowed up by the sub terranean caverns that gape along 1 ue oani:. witcrc it goes to no body knows. The high water is due to the ex traordmary snow fall in the foot hills the past winter. The warm weather is melting the snow and the water is coming down faster than the river can take care of it. Hut for the capacious maw of the lava beds the rush of the water would be likely to do damage at lieud, for the current here is that of a mill race. On the uper reaches or the river where the flats arc overflowed the current is comparatively sluggish. No damage is done by the over flow. On the contrary, it insures a bountiful huy crop this year and the ranchers gladly endure the in convenience of an impassable stream for the good it brings tliem. The natural meadows promise for this year tne uiggest nay yielu ever known on the Deschutes. If any of the flooded bridges should float away it would to small loss. They may to restored with n fraction of the extra money the "flood brings to the ranchers. Most of the flood comes down the main Deschutes, or Little river. The west fork, or Big river, does not yet show much effect of melt ing snows. I. W.
