From last Sunday morning until Thursday the water in the river seemed to be receding, showing a fall of about three inches during that time, but from Thursday morning until we go to press that three inches has been made up and the river seems to be rising again, so that it now stands just about where it did last Sunday, a little over 20 feet above zero. Citizens of St. Helens were treated to a rather unusual sight Thursday when in looking across the Columbia River two large vessels could be seen in Lewis river. The vessels are the schooners Irene and W. F. Jewett, which are receiving full cargoes of ties. Ordinarily there is about seven feet of water at the mouth of Lewi River, but with the present high water there is a full 29 feet, or about the same depth as on the Columbia River Par, so it was thought easier to tow the ves sels into the Lewis river and give them the ties there instead of tow ing the ties to the Island boom as is usually done, and no diillculty is ex pected in bringing the vessels out fully loaded and at their maximum draft which is about 20 feet.
