Its Description, and Geological Origin. Astoria, March 2nd, '89. To toe Editor of The Astoria:, : In the past two or three weeks there has been some light sk'ir misbing in regard to the location of the bridge across Young's bay. We have differed sharply in the matter, but that has past. If you will permit me, I will say a few words in regard to the actual size, condition and origin of the bay, separate and apart from any rail road or bridge, and I shall not mention them in criticism. I am impelled to this because of the great amount of ignorance in the community in reference to it, even by those who ought to be well posted. It is almost univers ally the opinion that the bay is a shallow body of water through which narrow, crooked channels run that can only be navigated on the tides: I will take the United States chart as my guide, which ought to be good authority, blight changes may have taken place since, but not sufficient to make any material difference. From Smith's Point a little to the south of west, and about four miles distant is tho mouth of Skipanon. From Smith's Point on the line of tho proposed bridge, the bay is one and a half miles wide. From the same point due south the bay is something over one and a half miles wide, to the mouth of Lewis and Clarke's. From Smith's Point and the mouth of Lewis and Clarke's river eastward for about one mile, both shore lines converge at about the same angle, till at I'atrtiela the bay is one-half mile wide, with channel close to this shore, and one-fourth of a mile higher. Young's river empties into the bay and is about 1,500 feet wide. Over the whole of this area, at high tide the sKbalest water is from 6 to 8 feet deep on the flats. At average low water, the area within the G-foot limit covers over half the surface of the bay. In this, of course, the deeper waters occur, this gives plenty of sea room tor all light craft at low water. The main channel is what the people are most interested in. The Young's bay channel empties into the Columbia about one mi'e west of Smith's Point, wc will call all that is within the 12 foot limit, channel. From the end of the spit run ning out from Smith's Point to the south shore the channel is 1,300 feet wide. The water over this area is from 14 to 17 feet deep at low tide. This is nearly twice as wide as the river at Portland at the railroad bridge. From this point to where the proposed bridge crosses the bay and one half mile from the shore, and a distance of one mile from the Columbia chan nel, the 12-foot line gradually con verges, till at the crossing the channel is 880 feet wide, and the water from 12 to 15 feet deep at average low tide. This is about the width of the. river at Stark street ferry, at Portland. The channel still converges until about one-half mile below Fairfield it is only about 400 feet wide within the 12-foot limit. From this point the channel rapidly widens to an average width of 1,320 feet, with in the 12-ioot limit, to the mouth of the Walluski, a distance of about 2J miles. Of course on the outside of the 12-foot line to the G-foot line is a wide margin. Within this distance of 2J miles, there is a channel over a mile long and 800 feet wide, whose water is from 20 to 58 feet deep at average low water. A little higher up is another channel as wide, not quite so long, with water from 20 to 30 feet deep. Here is a nicely sheltered harbor, whoso dimensions and depth of water far exceeds any thing that Portland with all her wealth can boast of; this, too, with a channel through the sboal est place in which is 13 feet at the "lowest of the average low water," with a tidal rise of "G to 8 feet. If Portland could have this har bor with as much water and tide to the sea it would be worth un told millions to her. The Lewis and Clarke channel is less preten tious. The water on the bar, where the channel flows' into the YpunglB riyerrchannet- for-a shoTt distance is b It. at low tide. From the bar to a mile or so above the mouth of the river the water is from 12 to 14 ft. deep. Then the water deepens to 30 feet at low water for one-half a mile with an average width of 400 feet. A good ohannel continues nearly two mile's higher. One peculiarity about all these waters is, that the bottom is composed of a soft light silt consisting of mud, the lighter particles of sand and mica all easily-floated by moderately moving currents. This would render the deepen ing and widening of the channels to almost any extent desired, a cheap and easy matter; for all that would be necessary to be done would be to stir the silt a little while the tide was ebbinsr and it would pop out to sea. The amount ot debris that comes into the bay from tho surrounding country is comparatively small and must always be so, since it would not refill as rapidly as the Colom bia. While all this is true, a slight retardation of the currents irom any cause would precipitate the silt and shoal the channels. If the navy yard is located on the Columbia river no better site is to be found anywhere, the water being lresh most of the year. Now as to the geology of the bay and its rivers. During the glacial period many years ago this countrj' was a thous and or lateen hundred feet above its present level. The great gla cier that came down out of the Columbia river and the lesser ones that came down out of Young's river and Lewis and Clarke's river, when they finally disappeared and floated away, lelt deep V shaped scars in the soft shales and rotten sandstones of which this lower county is com posed. The whole coast is slowly sinking beneath the Pacific ocean. As it goes down beneath the water level, thevdebris from the interior settles and fills these deep impressions made by the ice, so that between Astoria and the op posite shore of the Columbia river a vast quantity of sand fills the abyss, while Young's bay is filled to a great depth with light sand mud and mica, mixed, and in al ternate layers. Judging from the angles of the slopes, and the dis tance between the bordering hills; the mud and light sand deposits in Young's bay in the deepest place, must be four or five hundred feet deep, while the heavier sands in the Columbia, cannot bo much less than 1,000 feet deep. Our distances down here are so vast and our natural resources so greatly in excess of our present demands that I fear we have grown into the habit of underesti mating what nature in its bounte ous gifts has bestowed upon us. I trust that in future any ol our citizens who feel disposed to speak lightly of any ot our great natural gifts will think twice before doing so. The habit of underestimating everything with which we have to do, dwarfs us :n our ambitions and energies. We never rise above the estimate we place upon ours and our surroundings, mid outsiders are not apt to give us a nigner value man we claim lor ourselves. W. Hampton Smith.

Death doesn't know when to call for them. Boston Courier. HOW DOCTORS COAQLEK DEITII. Doctor Walter K. Hammond says : "Af ter a long experience I have come to the conclusion that two-thirds of all diuth.-. tioni coughs, proiimonia and consumption, might be avo.de if Ack er's English Cough Itcmedy wuo only carefully used in time." This wonder ful Itcmedy is sold under a positive guarantee by J. V. Conn, Druggist. "Why cannot a woman become a successful lawyer, I should like to know?" asked a lady of a cyni cal old Judge.
