torday says: The Wlllametto Is still
rising slowly, though on tho lower
river tonight the gauge is not so
high as in 1007 by sovon feet. Tho
uppor rlvor above the falls Is a wild
scono. The bridge, commoting thu
sawmill of tho Hawley Pulp & Pnpor
Company with the main buildings,
has gone out. The steamer Porto,
of the Jones line, had a narrow es
cape this afternoon. While lowing a
bargeload of paper under the bridge
the current swung the craft around
and for a few minutes she was un
manageable, but finally righted and
steamed out of danger. The height
of (he river under the suspension
bridge makes it Impossible for the
steamer N. II. Lang, of th oW. P. &
P. Company, to pas under.
Aside from a complete' shutdown
of tho mills and factories, no ineon
