OCEAN, BAR,
BAY, DOCK
AND RIVER
The velocity of the kind which has
characterized the aor'east gale for
the past four days abated yesterday
in pronounced fashion, evidently to
give the snow a chance to fall more
ia one place and with solider effect
It was rough enough along the
wtterfront of Astoria, though the
wish of the bay was much milder
than at any time since last Tuesday.
Almost all the craft that had been
taken around to Young's Bay for
easier berths have been brought back
to the front and are lying comfort
able at their usual moorings. No ice
has arrived down stream as yet, but
it may reach here today since it is
reported as far don the river as
Eureka. Captain Bailey, of the Co
lumbia River pilots, who brought the
Steamer Mayfair down, said yesterday
that the tee, m a torraative snape, was
as far down the big stream as Goble
vith plenty of drift-ice this side of
there, but not enough to hamper an
iron or steel hull in any way, but
plenty to make things uncomfortable
for a wooden vessel.

Dramatis Personnae, a well known
mnd happy-natured young man of this
dty who had extended the holiday
hilarity over into the New Year.
Place, one of the waterfront ware
houses; young man is shy a drink;
his friend owns and operates the
warehouse and maintains an office
therein; office locked up, of course;
but has an accessible window; pro
prietor is known to have a reserve
decanter snugly stowed under his
desk; saloons all closed, and this
bottle a dernier resort for the thirsty
young man; secures a ladder; makes
careful ascent to window, which he
finds unlocked; enters boldly, turns
on the lights, discovers the precious
decanter and stays with it to point
of exhaustion of both self and de
canter; then leaves premises by way
he got there; replaces the ladder; and
fades into the snowy gloom of the
early dawn. Proprietor arrives in
due and regular season; discovers
surreptitious entrance and suspects
burglary until he sees the empty cut
glass decanter and an empty glass
or two; looks into situation more
doselv and realizes he has been in
the hands of a friend, who has left
a glove behind; glove is recognized
at once, and oartv ascertained: apol
ogy and accounting now in order, or
police to be put in possession of facts,
and matter ' allowed to take due
course. What? '
The steamer Argo. arrived in from
Tillamook Bay points ; yesterday at
noon and Captain Jones at once ne
gotiated' a berth alongside the Cal
lender coal bunkers, and worked his
vessel into it, to await an abstinent of
the storm which was at its height
when he arrived off the city. While
laying up her here it is the intention
of her owners to install a set of bulk
heads and rig her for the accommoda
tion of passengers. Captain Jones
reports that when he left Tillamook
there was seven inches of snow over
everything and conditions practically
the same there as here, so far as
weather was concerned. ; He left out
from there late op Friday afternoon.
In the blinging swirl of snow that
fell over this city and bay yesterday
forenoon, the steamer Yosemite had
the bad luck to foul the steamer Ma
jestic lying at anchor in the city
channel off the Callender dock, scar
ring her stem pretty badly but doing
no grave damage either to the Majes
tic nor herself. The casualty' was duly
reported to the proper authority be
fore she departed for the high seas
and San Francisco.
The Lurline, Hassalo and Potter,
and the Ocklahama .and Harvest
Queen, are all on the thither side of
the present storm, np Portland-way,
and likely to stay there until there is
a markd subsidence- in the gale-Trad
in the ice in the river. .
There is a fleet of four steamers
due in this port from the Bay City
sometime today, towit, the steamships
Roanoke and Rose City and the
steam schooners ' Northland and
Tallac.
The steamer Yellowstone crossed
out for an Francisco yesterday.
It is expected that the steamship
Breakwater will bring up the new
hull of the Callender steamer Myrtle,
from Coos Bay on her' trip from
there this morning. ,
The steamer Yosemite cleared from
this port yesterday with 850,000 feet
of lumber from St Helen's, for San
Francisco, and is supposed to have
left out yesterday afternoon.
The steamer Mayfair came down
the river yesterday morning, bound
for San Francisco, and left out at

685 Commercial St.
Announcement was made last even
ing by Albert Johnson, superintend
ent of the water service, that the
water would be turned off at 8 o'clock
and would be turned on at 6 o'clock
this morning again.
It was deemed necessary to do this
to prevent the reservoir being drain
ed, and in the event the reservor was
drained the city would be practically
at the mercy of any conflagration
that might break out. While there is
still quite a head of water in the res
ervoir it was estimated that by to
night or tomorrow it would be vir
tually emptied if the water were not
shut off.
But it is probable there will be a
wail of wrathful ire go up all over
town this morning, for the turning eff
of the water is likely to freeze many
pipes, for the reason that much "dead
water" is almost certain to remain in
many of them. Of course those who
are fortunate enough to have their
pipes in such position that the drain
age is complete will be all right, but
it is probable that . many will be
frozen. Two years ago the water was
also shut off at night for several
nights during a bad cold spell.
So general has the practice been
all over town the past few days of
permitting the water to run that it
became necessary to do something if
water for fire protection purposes was
to be conserved. It was simply fig
ured that the safety of the town as
against a possible bad fire was more
to be considered than the individual
loss and inconvenience that would re
sult to individuals by the possible
freezing of the pipes,

I which was presented there on Friday
night last. Its story is rich with the
strongest lessons that come from the
realm and imperious demand of love
unsuspected, and realized only when
nothing is left but sacrifice in its at
tainment. It was thoroughly appre
ciated and the fine acting that charac
terized the work of the troupe waj
not confined to any individual, but
was so conspicuous in every assign
ment as to be remarked on all sides.
It is such presentations as this that
lend culture to the taste of a com
munity in its seeking for the finest in
a histronic way.
Bond Street Injunction
It is expected that Judge McBride
will make known his final decision at
the February term of the circuit
court in the matter of the injunction
temporarily issued against the city
restraining it from paying Contractor
L. Lcbeck for the Bond street im
provement. Considerable interest ia
being aroused by the near approach
of the expected decision, and it is un
derstood that steos are bcimr taken
to conserve Mr. Lcbeck's interests as
much as nossiblc. He is waiting for
the $7000 contract nrire. and mean
time the street is being daily used,
