RIVER IS THE
LOWEST IN YEARS
Tho gaugo on tho O C. T. Co's dock

tho lowest this stream haB been dur
ing tho month of Decomber for four
years, nccordlng to tho official rec
ord, kont by M. P. Baldwin, local
agent for the transportation com;
pany. In Decomber, 1905, tho river
stood at 1.5 feet, this being tho low
est gauge reached for over 23 yenrst.
Tho Wlllamotto has been receedlng
In volume during tho past few year?,
but tho larmtng extent of the low
water this year cannot ho nccountej
for only through tho scarcity of rnlr.
Tho years heretofore nro recorded
with many heavy rainfalls, nnd those,,
In connection with tho snow water
coming from tho mountains regular
ly hold tho river steady at a good
gaugo. Tho rainfall this year, so far,
has beon uiv -unlly light, and only
upon two occasions wero thoro any
largo -amount of rain recorded by
tho bureau.
Breozo Gibson, the well-known
Polk county resident and pioneer of
56 voars' nHdonee In Oregon, stated
this afternoon that tho Wlllamotto 's
getting to be tho "queerest acting
puddlo la the country," and unions
rnln prevails soon, he expects to walk
