Our Columbia Freshets.
In the last number of Scribners
Monthly is a letter from Prof. "W.
T. Lyman, of Forest Grove, on
the Columbia rivers risings that is
interesting reading. The profes
sor says: "An article entitled
Our Rivers, in the issue of Scrib
ner for Auinist, contains an allu-
sion in flip. (Columbia whieh frreat-
1 y needs enlargment. 1 1 mentions
as remarkable, that the Columbia
PJ.,.nK;n
river often rises fifteen feet during
the summer Hoods. This presents
so inadquate an idea of our great
river that 1 am compelled to call
vour attention to the fart that
during the Hood of last summer
the Columbia ioe at T'umatilla
about forty-live feet: at The
Dalles, fifty-one; at the L'pper
Cascades about sixty; while at
"Portland, twelve miles from the
.junction of thr Willamet and Co
lumbia, the former was bucked up
to a height of twenty-eight feet
above low water mark. At Van
couver, where the ordinary width
of the Columbia is a mile and a
half, the flood extended to a width
of six miles. To irivc some idea
J
of the hnmcnsitv ol waters ensu
ing from the miows tf our great
western mountains, 1 might add
that at The Dalfes the mass of
water superimposed on the low
stage of the rivei was fifty one
feet thick, a mile wide and moving
fit. ihi rnfo of nine miles ner hour.
,-, i i -, . 4 tA
For several davs it rose at the rate
of an inch an hour. Its hourly
increase was therefore enough to
make a large creek, while its daily
increase was just about equivalent
to such a river as the Hudson.
The Columbia has, of course, no
need to feel jealous of any of the
brotherhood of rivers, but it would
like its eastern friefids to know
what it reallv ran do in the matter
of a freshet.1"
Mayor Grace, of New York, was
once empl&yed as a waiter in a
restaurant in Center street.
The mobs ami riots in Ireland
continue to increase, both in num
ber and damages. At 1 Jallydehob,
Cork, Skibbereen, and other points,
bloody fighting has been going on
for several days.
Frederick Hillings resigned the
presidency of the Northern Pacific
on the 9th and Ar.bel II. Barney
was elected president pr tern. T.
F. Oakes first vice-president and
Henry A'illard director.
The municipal authorities of
Chicago have iriven notice to the
telegraph and telephone compa
nies that after a certain date no
wires will be allowed upon poles
or upon house-tops in the city, but
that all wires must be conveyed
under ground.
Clarence Gray, the cold-blooded
murderer of Mr. Ulancey at Santa
Barbara, now on trial at Redwood,
is undergoing severe cross-examination.
Witness is badly en
tangled. Jlifc answers are very
voluminous and often contradic
tory. He will probably be hung,
as he deserves to be.
Assemblyman Bradley, in the
Albany assembly, has placed $2,
500 in the hands of speaker Sharpc;
money given to bribe him to vote
against senator Piatt. Mr. Arm
strong and Mr. Sisson staled that
they too had been offered bribes
to turn from Conkling and Piatt.
A committee was appointed to in
vestigate the matter. Bradley was
approached by Senator Sissons,
and was told to say in explana
tion of his vote semething: the
same as Russell said when he
changed.
Another very destructive fire
visited Quebec on the night of the
9th. Eight hundred buildings in
the principal streets were destroy
ed. Losses five lives, and $2,000,
000. Several remarkable whirl
winds were caused by the fire.
Men were in some cases lifted off'
their feet. On the lower field,
where most of the burnt out peo
ple had camped with their saved
goods, the fire followed the unfor
tunates and burnt up most of the
goods piled on the grass. Burn
ing shingles fell over the city and
as far out as Maple avenue, during
the nigiit, endangering ever part
of town. Several incipient fires in
dfferent streets were suppressed
by the vigilance of their occupants.

commercial world, even in their
infancy, may best be understood
from the fact that 400 vessels, hav
ing a tonnage of over 000,000 tons,
touched at Puget-sound ports in
1SS0, and that there were :00
arrivals of ocean vessels at Astoria
the same ear. Over 25,000 pas
sengers and 125,000 tons of freight
were carried bv steamship between
Astoria and San Francisco last
year. Ninety thousand cattle and
75,000 sheep were sold from the
vast pastures of eastern Oregon
and Washington last year. Speak
ing in a general way of the country
Mr. Strahorn, the correspondent of
the Chicago Inter-Ocean, said that
he found the Pacific Northwest well
watered, splendidly timbered and
abounding in vast perennial past
urage and extensive agricultural
valleys, as well as possessing great
mineral resources; while southern
California, Arizona, northern Mexi
co, and much of New Mexico, is a
desert, having little but its mineral
resources to recommend it.
Women are found in Brooklyn
who make shirts for three cents
each.
