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;

niuin in some placed; "All th6 flats
arc flooded and not a bridge is pas
sable above C. II. Allen's place, 17
miles south of Iicud. 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. Noble, formerly assessor of
Clackamas county, drove in from '
the railroad last night on a vamp
ing and prospecting expedition in
this section. Mrs. Noble is with
him for the purpose of retrieving
her health,
