The weather was unusually severe, and grit seas rolled in, but Captain Winkle deter- 1 mired h, leave 001 1. -The vcswl safe- y contended with the .lements for u time, but a huge aea struck her on the starboard quarter, carrying a way e. poitlon of her deckloid and giving her a bud list. She became unman- bguble and drifted Into the trough of th sea, where she rolled helplessly. It seemed that she woull sur-ly founder, but anotle-r great wave threw her head around and the engines were started at full speed.

The main street, Fifteenth, Is in bad shape aoove Jerome avenue, and scarcely a day passes that some accident does not occur there. The most used route lt mvh the plateau is by way of Four teenth street to Jerome, thence along Jerome to Fifteenth. In all five block are In need of repair. The county will crush the rock, but the city will be required to pay for It and also for paving. The cost to the city would be between $300 and 6350. The matter will be presented to the council at Its next meeting. a vounir man suffering from small-1 pog showed up at St. Mary' hospital yesterday evening at about 5 o'clock and asked for admission. The city Physician was notified and he at once ttok the nntlent in hand. I-ater he was placed In th custody of Dudley! Blount, who started for the nest house with hint.

Dr. Cordlner states that the disease has broken out clearly on the bodv of the patient, but that his face as yet shows only slight development. His name and place of residence has not yet been learned, He appears to be totally without funds and tho case from every point of view Ih a sad one. The Chamber of Commerce met In regular session last evening, the at- tendun-e being iiilte large.

Next Monday, February 17th, the schools will reopen their door and stu- uenis in an the grade will resume their work. At least this i the pre ent intention and there is little, or no iik'-llhood that there will be a change of program. Scarlet fever and all other contagious diseases, which for a time threatened the community with devast atlng epidemic, have been successfully brought under control and there la no longer reason for continued vacation The reason that a check has been plac ed upon the disease hag teen credited largely to the closing of the school.

Crew Hum Not Vet Hn Itct!cd, but They Will Probably Be Havcd by Daylight. A vessel answering the description of and suposed to be the German bark AJxternlxle, from San Francisco for the Columbia river, was wrecked last night a mile and a half west of Cape Dis appointment. Captain Richardson of the lighthouse tender Columbine, that returned from the scene of the disaster at midnight, Is of the opinion that the crew can Vie saved when daylight comes and that extremely good weather might powlbly result In the salvation of the vessel. Immediately on receipt of new that the vessel had gone ashore, the bar tugs and Columbine hastened to the mouth of the river. The Columbine wa first to arrive at the scene and turned her searchlight on the vessel. The tender could not get closer than a quarter of a mile, but nevertheless Captain Rich ardson got an excellent Idea of her po sition. She Is a four master, the lower mast and top masts being painted white. All her sail were furled, but while the Columbine was there the master made some sail, presumably for the purpose, of driving the bark higher up on the beach. It i Captain Rich ardson' opinion that the bark la in about 10 or 12 feet of water. Regard ing her position, he said: "The vessel lies about half a mile west of Peacock spit, and well up un der Cape Disappointment. She la ly ing with her stern to the southwest, from which direction the wave are rol ling in. She la laboring but little and was taking no water over the sides, as nearly a I could ascertain.
