Fate of Fourlhof July
.CeleDration Rests
With Meeting ' To
night. It Is quite likely that tho attend
ance at thu Fourth of July meeting,
to bo held this evening In tho Cham
ber of Commerce rooms, will bo
much, larger than nt thu one held
Wednesday night. Notwithstanding
'there, la much more active Interest
manifested thun earlier In tho week,
thoro Is still lucking that go-get-'em
spirit that carries with It success. Un
less thoru Is mora of It shown by the
tlnio the mooting gets under way,
there will be no celebration. It Is all
due to tho extreme hoHlsbness and
Indifference of too many of the bus
iness men, who olthcr want tbo
other to do all of tho work or won't
play tho game because, he can't count
tho dollars In hi ensh register bo
forehand. Ono business man who
novor falls to "pan" anyone who
does not got In nnd boost when he
thinks tho boosting will benefit his
business, does not hesitate, to lie
down on tho Job when It conies to un
nffnlr of this kind. "I don't seo
whoro I coiiiu In on It," ho whines,
"for I'm closod on that day."
If anyone wants to know one of the
chlof troubles with tho city, ho may
find It In thnt sentence, Theru aro

Is why tho celobratlon move flattened

why It wilt flnttcn out tonight If It

PAST RECALLED
Cack o Warm Weath

Heavy Rains Cause
Present Floods. '
PORTLAND, Ore., May 27.
High waters of the Columbia and
Wlllaraetto rivers havn recoiled
here four high Juno (modi. Inun
dations here In theso esses has
been caused by flcoded "waters of
tho "Columbia backing up the Wil
lamette rlr r.
Tho first bic; flood oi rerent
years was In 1876, r.nd reached Its
maximum on Juno 24 of that date,
a total of 28.4 feu. Other flood
stages were:
July 1, 1880, 27.3 feet.
Juno 1G, 1882, 26.1 feet.
Juno 7, 1894, 33 feet.
Delay In warm weather this
year, coupled with unusually heavy
precipitation havo contributed to
tho flood condltlcns now prevailing.
Ordinarily tho snow melts first in
tho mountains drained by tho Snako
river, and this ovorflow is disposed
of before tho floods start In tho
Upper Columbia watcrshod.
Precipitation In Portland up to
May 24 was 44. SI Inches against
normal of 41.64. Excess may havo
extended to tho intermouncuin leg-
Ion, uddlng to tho amount of wa
ter to tho drained off.
Altornutu periods of hot nnd
cold "weather In tho mountain en
ublo tho streams to carry oft tho
water without flood conditions be
coming serious, but when t'.ij warm
spells nro unrolleva by conl Inter
iU tho melting of snow creates
the torrents that swell tho rivers.
In nn editorial review of tbo
flood situation tho Portland Tele
gram says:
"If thero Is to bo n big flood
wo shall know Its extoat nt least
throe days before its crest Is felt
