Citizens of St. Helens were treated
to a rather unusual sight Thursday
when in looking across the Columbia
River two large vessels could be

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.

in theso.called Harris building on
The Strand in the City of St, Helens,

contributed its share in quenching
said fire;
Therefore be it resolved by the
