Second street presents a busy scene
today. Herbring, Pease & Mays, Ror

river.

: Up to 6 :30 last night the bulkhead at
the locks had not gone out. ' By almost
superhuman efforts the bulk head was
raised about four feet, and it was con'
sidered that yet three feet of a rise could
be stood. The back water is now only
12 feet lower than the water above the
dam and even should it go out, which
now seems improbable, the damage will
not be so great aa was anticipated.
The D. P. & A. N. Co. have exhibited
an amount of pluck and energy that de
serves the highest praise. They have
spent money lavishly to keep their route
open, even going 'to the expense of re
grading a portion of the O. R. & N.
portage and moving the track back. It
is on account of this latter work that the
Regulator did not go down this morning,
as the work will be completed today and
the steamer will clean out her boilers
and make the trip tomorrow. Owing to
the trouble in making the transfer yes
terday the boat did not leave until 6 :30,
and darkness coming on she tied up at
Hood River. This was necessary on ac
count of the heavy drift which could
not be avoided in the darkness. She
left at 4 o'clock, arriving here at 6, and
bringing quite a large number of passen

In getting off last night with fast
freight and baggage a combination of

pulled this with horses to the boat, and
through water almost to the top of the
car. A flat boat will be put in place to
day and transfer can be made direct to

We were disposed to doubt the correct'
ness oi our teiepnone aispatcnes con
cerning the Snake and Columbia being
at a standstill, but the Oregonian con
firms it. A comparison with its reports
of Thursday and Friday shows that at
up-river points there was no raise.- At
Riparia it gives the stage for both days
as 22 feet, at Umatilla for both days 30.5,
At the same time the mark has steadily
lifted from 52.6 Wednesday, to 53.3
Thursday, 54.1 Friday and 55 this morn
ing. The flood has not passed up-river
points and can only be accounted for by
the Deschutes and the tremendous flood
of the John Day which- is said to be no
longer a river but that the valley is filled
with water. We confess our inability to
believe the John Dav could raise the
Columbia 4o the extent it has raised but
if our telegrams and those of the Oregon
lan are correct, it can be accounted for
in no other way. If this be so, and one
small tributary can make this raise what
will the . coming flood of the Columbia
do? ,

condition, but Superintendent Baxter
is indefatigable in his efforts to secure a

the transfer arrangement would be com

impossible, and it is possible that some
time today the arrangements for a river

The Captain's Little Practical Joke on
Ills Passenger. '
Jokes of a "practical" order are usu
ally dangerous in one w'ay or another,
but a story is told of one harmless joke
which illustrated the power of imagin
ation iD an amusing way some years
ago. '"- . " ' -
At the time when most of the North
river sloops came in atCoenties slip, the
Levant, a packet from Fishkill an
chored off the Battery -to wait for a
change of tide. . A passenger who had
been for the first, time in his life on a
sailing vessel, and who had been anx
iously begping to steer the craft, not
noticing that the vessel was at anchor,
was told at last that he might take the
helm. . .
He obeyed the summons with alacrity,
and listened to the captain's cautions
in regard to keeping clear of other ves
sels and so forth, and then the captain
went below. -
The. tide was rushing by at a great
rate, and the amateur helmsman felt
much gratified with the progress his
craft was making aa he looked down at
the water. - '
: In time, however, an investigation of
the surrounding landscape led to a
slight feeling of dissatisfaction on his
part, which steadily increased as time
went on. At last the captain appeared
acrain. and inquired gravely, how he
was getting on. ,
"Well, replied the amateur, with a
dubious smile, "I appear to be gettin' on
first-rate by water, but plaguey slow by
land, if I'm any judge. ; captain."
