It is thought probably that tho water

For tho first timo since tho storm there
was some chance to get around the

fort. Everyone tried to shovel the snow
off as well as they could, but it snows
and blows and rains and freezes inside of
fifteen minutes,. cleaning sidewalks is
of little use.
Next Thursday's Astobian will contain
information, the mere procuring of which

least $100. If you want to send a paper

leave your name for an extra copy. It will
cost you the sum of five cents. As a
matter of record, to preserve for refer

Astoria has fared pretty well compara
tively speaking in tho matter of trans
Srtation during the last two weeks,
ther communities have been hide bound
and snow bound and ice bound and
blockaded and without any communica
tion with the outside, but the O. ft. & N.
Co. has managed to give us a daily boat
and mail with almost accustomed regu
larity, all of which is duly appreciated.
Creditors in San Francisco and else
where make a mistake if they start in
crowding anyone at the present time.
Purely as a matter of business policy a
creditor will do better at present to
give a man lime to get some money to
gether than to shut down on him and
force him to the wall. To do that
oan in somo cases only result in
the creditor losing considerable beside
irretrievably injuring the debtor's busi
ness. The government telegraph line has
been completely demoralized since the
first of tho storm. Yesterday J. N. Grif
fin went along the line between here and
Fort Stevens and repaired it where it was
broken in half a dozen different places.
Last night it worked all right between
here and the fort, and as the cable across
the river is intact, it is probable that
after some repairs in the vicinity of Chi
nook that communication with tho cape
can again be resumed.

TheChehalis Videlle says The Asto
bian is "trying to throw discredit and
blame npon the people of this valley."
Tho Vidette is mistaken. The Astobian
throws discredit and blame nowhere.
This journal copied what the Hoquiam
Hews said about tho liray's harbor steam
er project; what was there said is the
general impression at this end of the
route and that's all there is to it. If the
Vidette wants to kick up a row with the
News that is another thing altogether.
The Astokian has always championed
the cause of Chehalis county, and looks
above little local squabbles. The Vi

Ed. Astesian:
In addition to what has been said about
proposed amendments to tho city charter
parmit me to offer a few suggestions.
First Let oao asssss jr do for county
city and school as before supg-sted; soo
oad, abjlish the office of police judge and
o iu.se tho an Jitr t act a aaj'a; tliirJ,
any araendmant f jr widaninq: the strsot3
to be acted on only by a Toto of a major
ity of property holders; fourth, tho sur
p.us road tax collected in the city, after
laying and repairing streets and cross
ings that are finished according to the es
tablished grade and requirements of the
city, to go toward building sewers or
mains running from south to north emp
tying into the river at low water or
mean low tide; the mains to be com
menced near the centre of the citv. sav
Main street, and lay one in each alternate
street as fast as means permit; the mains
to be built with bnck five or six feet high,
according as deemed mo3t advisable;
compelling property owners to oonneot
with them by terra cotta or other closed
pipes to oarry all the refuse and offal into
tho river, as the present state of affairs
is euuaugenng me puunc neaun; nun,
the majority of property owners owning
property on a street to be allowed to open
that street by grading to the established
grade of the city and planking the same
according to the oity s requirements of
streets, then to bo accepted by the city
and kept in repairs ever after from the
general fund the same as in artiolo four.
All sewers or mains or planking anew of
streets to be let by contract to the lowest
responsible bidder, requiring bonds for
the full amount for the faithful perform
ance of same. E.

The Shubricl: started to lay some buoys
in tho stream yesterday afternoon, and
while at the Tongue Point depot, Capt.
J. A. Brown, who was assisting, caught
sight of what seemed to bo a man hem
med in between two big cakes of ice that
came drifting around the point. Officer
Uichardson and two of tho orew put off
in a boat to the rescue and getting along
side found that it was indeed a man vho
had started to cross the river in a ho.it
some distanco above, and getting jammed
between two ico floes that held together
was being carried out to sea. Th res
cuing party cut their way into tho ioo a
little ways and then throwing hirn a line
dragged man and boat from their peril
ous position into open water. By this
time the wholo party had drifted down
opposite Flavel's dock, the steamer fol
lowing them down and picking up rescu
ers and rescued. It was a close call for
the individual in tho boat whose nam
could not be learned.

"While this weather lasts we shall have
to "rest on tho promises." This, says
the Oragonian, may bo illustrated by a
local anecdote. A few years ago Rev.
Mr. Coates, the pastor of tho Baptist
church in this city, while administering
tho consolations of tho gospel to an in
valid lady ia his parish, said: "I hope,
sister, that you are resting on the prom
ises." She said, "Yes, I am." Ho then
asked: "What special promise are you
chiefly resting on now?" And sho re
plied,""Grin and bear it."
Several men have arrived in Portland
this week, says the New Northwest, from
the snowed-in trains on the O. R. & N.
Co.'s line. It in a fearful walk 55 miles
through deep snow, with the frequent
danger of being hurled iato the Colum
bia by slides. One of them said he was
"afraid of a long imprisonment and got
out while he had strength." But the
passengers are in no danger of starva
tion. Provisions are sent to them by
sled from Hood River. Superintendent
Rowe says he will get food to them with
out fail.
Of all the grand juries that have ever
been called together in this county, the
present one, says the Portland Standard,
takes the cake and the bake shop. They
were called together eighty-four days
ago, and have done as little as any body
of men could, in fact it seems as if they
have tried to see how little they could
do. They would meet and in a few min
utes adjourn until the next day, and one
went home to Rooster Rock and was
snowed in for several days and when he
returned he had the cheek to inquire if
his jay did not go while absent. The ex
penses are $19 per day and to the present
time amounts to $150G, and the end is
not yet, as they have adjourned until
Januarys, 1835, when they will meet
again, spending the holidays in good
style at home.
Maior Sonera and party arrived from
the interior last Friday night for the
purpose of locating the Canadian Pacific
railway extension from Port Moody to
Coal harbor, says the New "Westminster
Columbian. The written instructions
have not yet arrived, but the major will
co on in accordance with a telearam
received from Mr. Van Home asking
him to locate this line. It ia intended
to run the line from Port Moody down
the south shore of Burrard inlet to Coal
harbor. In reply to a question Major
Rogers said the locating of this line did
not imply the abandonment ol the mid
dle route at all. In his opinion the
railway company would need at least
nine miles of wharret on the inlet, The
wharf and harbor accommodation at
Port Moody were altogether insufficient,
and there would be wharves constructed
from Coal harbor all the way up. The
peninsula between tho inlet and tho
Fraper river would eventually be like the
mocth of tho Mississippi branch s
would Bhuot out frtn the main hue of
r dlway touching every harbor that was
worth seeking. There mi 'lit be- n branch
via Burnaby lake to English b-iv, and
one to Nex Vestminster. Ro did not
thin'c there wis any probability thut tho
Ryndante would leavj this city and har
bor without railway connection.

Notwithstahding tho constantly in
creasing popularity of roller skating,
some people persist in assorting that it
is a dangerous amusement. They" scorn
to forgot that in every healthful sport
there is an element of danger, which is
not the least of its fascinations. Per
haps somo of theso pessimists were onco
bovs and cirls, and if they then lived be
yond tho Rockies they may remember
certain oiu logics wno soicmniy warneu
them of the risks they ran in going, on
tho ice. It was not on rollers those un
fortunate children skated of whom tho
poet mournfully sings:
The ico was thin, they all fell in
The rest they ran away.
Theroisone important difference be
tween skating on ice and rollers which
should not be forgotten. The ordinary
rink is neither so long as a river nor so
broad as a lake. Therefore grace and
not speed is tho quality most to be culti
vated. Anyone who can keep his feet
can skate fast; thoso ,who best illustrate
the poetry of motion move slowly.
A word to spectaters: Don't applaud
when a beginner falls. Arnica and not
applause is what the case demands. Be
sides, you may follow his example your
self some time. And don't imagine
when yon see a skater in the center of
the floor attempting somo difficult move
ment that ho is "showing off." The ex
ecution of fancy steps is only attained
by practice, and tho luxury of practicing
in private can only bo indulged in by
the very few who havo their own rinks.
It would bo well, too, for spectators who
sit near the corner of tho rink to koop
their feet as far from tho center of the
room as possible, as all skaters aro not
"accustomed to obstacle racing.
