TUTTLE'S TIMIDITY.
He Wanted a Pilot to slow Hii
Tie way in Here.
SEXlt HIM A. MOTILE Ol' MILK.
The United Stales revenue cutter
Rush arrived at the ocean wharf at
4:30 o'clock yesterday morning, hav
come through to Tacoma with the
San Francisco mail, owing to the in
ability of the steamer to cross the
Columbia bar and reach Portland,
to which place the cutter was destined.
The reporter learned from the com
mander that owing to the rate asked
by the Pacific Mail Steamship com
pany, Goodall, Perkins & Co., SI a
sack, he received a telegram to take
the mail to Portland. He got the
dispatch on the 27th ult and on the
28th in the afternoon left San Fran
cisco, having on board 350 pouches
of mail and twenty-five sacks of news
papers. Arriving off the mouth of
the Columbia river the cutter set
signals for pilot, but owing to the
rough weather these latter would
not go out The limit remained
wating for a pilot for four or five
hours, keeping its signals flying, the
weather being extremely rough. As
Lieut Tuttle had not crossed
the bar for more than three
years, he did not feel safe in
mtiking the attempt and knowing, as
he stated, a place where he could find
a safe harbor he started up the coast
for the straits of Fuca. After running
about forty miles the wind changed,
and thinking he could then cross the
Columbia bar he returned, to find that
at that place it was as rough as be
fore. He again set signals for a pilot,
but as they declined to come out he
again turned the cutter and came on
to Puget Sound, arriving as before
stated. The mail was immediately
unloaded, and that destined for Port
and will be sent there by train. He
was 02 hours reaching the Columbia
from San Francisco. The cutter will
leave here this morning for Seattle to
coal, and thence go to Port Townsend
and back to San Francisco with the
mail from Washington. Taiomu
(ilobe, Feb.-!.
This is nuts for the Tacoma papers,
and of course they make all the en pi
tal possible out or it; but Lieutenant
Tut tie's action was, to speak mildly,
unnecessary. He could have come in
here safely and securely with his ves
sel, just the same ;is the Asloi ia. Cor
wilt, and other vessels or thai class, to
say nothing of the (Santa Jlosa, Co
lumbia, and other steamships.
THE TELECUAIMI LINE.
A I'osMltility of ('ottimmiM'.ition To-day.
'Any developments?' asked a le
Mrler of Supt Henderson, at the W.
U. T. Co.'s oJHce at -1 yesterday af tor
noon. 'Yes," said he, "I he work of repair
ing goes on, and a big job it is. To
begin with, there was an immense
landslide at Tongue Peint: the oles
coercd up, buried deep: then Mr.
Crow reports that there were thirty
breaks between here and Knapp:u
These have been fih.e.1 up, and we
were in communication with Kunppa
at one o'clock. Between Kunppa and
West port the breaks have nearly all
lecn temporarily repaired. 1 1 is prob
able that between here and Clifton the
work or repair will have so far prog
ressed that we will be in communica
tion with Clifton this evening."
Beyond that point it is very uncer
tain. Such wind and rain as that of
this week plas havoc with a tele
graph line strung through a forest, on
precipitous hill sides, along the banks
of a roaring Hood.
All that cm be done is being done,
and jls soon as possible "Astoria will
again have telegraphic communica
tion with the world.
Generally Unprofitable.
The past season has been hard on
insurance companies of this section of
the country especially. One of the
stock holders in town, of a large com
pany in Portland, received a letter
yesterday, describing the year's busi
ness. On account of the heavy fires
in Washington, cities where it was
heavily interested, the amounts paid
out for losses were within 1,000 of
thesum received for policies. As the
various expenses of salaries, agents
etc., must also be considered, the year's
results cannot be very encouraging.
Astoria is pretty well cinched to
make up for these losses elsewhere.
The companies are hundreds of
thousands of dollars ahead of this
community.
They (Jot There. Eli.
Tuesday was a red letter day for
three enterprising young men of this
city. They had heard or certain valu
able claims that had come back on the
hind office. Without waiting to see
whether some one else would get
ahead of them, they started out to get
the prize. They succeeded and have
secured three adjoiniug claims near
Young's river, and not more than
twelve miles from the city. They de
serve credit for their enterprise. This
is the kind of work that tells. There
may yet bo other chances open, for
this section has a wide area, and it is
difficult to cover it all.
A Matter of Investment.
There is vigorous language used to
express the unwillingness or Portland
banks and investment companies to
lend money to Astoria business men.
Recently a real estate dealer went to
thatcity and offered Astoria security for
loans, no money could be obtained, ne
then offered his Portland property Cor
security and all the money was forth
coming that he desired. Capital is
tight in Portland for anv other town
than that This is not right The
general interests of the state shoTild
be considered to some extent.

A United States marshal this morn
ing said that the reason that the reve
nue cutter liVSIta.nl lluslt did not
put into Astoria was because she was
afraid of losing her sailors there

COXSMEltABLi: Jt.lMAGi: DOSE.
When the TelepJtone arrived yes
terday afternoon, a crowd of curious
citizens went down to hear what was
the news from the flooded interior.
To a reporter an officer of the
Telephone said:
"You can form no idea of the ap
pearance of things at Portland.
When we got there yesterday after
noon we landed our passengers the
best we coidd, and then dropped
down to the only place where there
was anything like safe moorings.
None of us went to bed last night
and steam was kept up all night The
situation was sufficient to arouse
alarm. Every hour the mass of stuff
swirling by would make it appear as
if both bridges would go. They
would creak and groan and shiver as
the tremendous jams of logs aud other
material would strike them, and it
looked scaly for some of the vessels
and steamers too.
"Two houses went through both
bridges. Power's furniture factor
came iloating along, desks and chairs
falling out of the windows as the
building bobbed aud rocked on the
water. All sorts of stuff went down
the stream and the bumping of the
logs and trees, the roar of the water
and the shouts on every hand, would
not let any one sloop even if they
wanted to.
'The water in Portland is up al
most to Second street; the river rose one
fool yesterday and is still coming up.
There isn't jis much loss in that city
as one would think, because they
were ready for it, but up the valley
the los is something tremendous.
"Early this morning the approaches
to the railroad bridge on both sides
gave way, but the main structure wtis
sarewhen we left.
The Hood is the greatest known for
a generation.
The deep snow has melted rapidly
with the warm rain and wind of Feb
ruary and every little stream in Ore
gon is a raging torrent, running bank
high and jKiuring its muddy current
into the larger water courses.
From all parts of the Willamette
v.illey come accounts that condensed
say "unusually high water and heavy
damage."'
Logs, lumber, houses, factories and
bridges arc torn away and swept with
the turbid stream to total destruction,
along its entire course.
At Albany considerable loss is re
ported. At Salem the fine bridge con
necting Marion and Polk counties has
boon thrown down and covered with
debris. Considerable damage is also
done to the railroad track, warehouses,
etc. The whole country is a lake with
people going about in beats: great
uumbersof cattle nnd sheep have been
drowned and an immense amount of
damage inflicted.
The following was sent from Oregon
City at -1 o'clock Tuesday afternoon.
It will give an idea of the situation
there:
Old residents of Oregon City say that
tlio water at Ibis hour is fully jls high as
it readied in 18(11. Tug situation is se
rious. A hugo volume of water is injur
ing mer tho banks of Iho river, uuder-
nmiiii" thai fiinnrinliritiK nf Imililiturj
and factories, overturning offices, spoil
ing nincuiuery, aim carrying destruction
in its resistless path. Tremendous waves
ten feet high are dashing up between
Cinema and Oregon City. The break
water is entirely gone; the mill race,
flume and basin is completely obliter
ated. Tlio town presents an animated sec
t'lcle. Men are rushing to and fro,
women whispering tho latest nows, la
borers remoing good to places of safety,
while nbo! it all may be heard tho rush
and roar of angry waters. Above tho
falls tho water is still rising perceptibly,
whilo below the hidden cataract it is
still rising at the rate of two inches per
hour.
The wheels of tho city aro silent. La
bor in tho various mills is entirely sus
pended, while business is dead.
Tho railroad track from Oregon City
to New Era is badlj' washed ont, as it is
also to Canema.
Tho locks aro still uninjured, but tho
lockkeepcr's house on the west side has
gone down, unablo longer to withstand
the current.
Tho box factor and office has been de
stroyed. Tho loss will be heavy, as tho
company had ou hand a laro stock of
boxes.
At ;i o'clock it became apparent that
tho saw mill must go down beforo tho
flood. The building creaked and groaned,
tho timbers cracked, whilo tho waters
raed through doors and windows with
tremendous force. At exactly twenty
minutes to four tho mill collapsed and
went down with a frightful crash.
The new suspension bridge is in great
danger from a heavy mass of driftwood
which has collected abovo the pier.
Tlio Clackamas bridge, which was
erected in 187.'. at a cost of $.",000, has
been swept awaj.
The buildings and oflice of tho Oregon
City Furnituro Mills have been over
turned, but hopes aro entertained that
tho machine, which is comparatively
new and very valuable, may be saved.
A boom of logs for tho Crown Mill
Paper company has bnrst and become
totally unmanageable. The heavy tim
bers aro floating dangerously about at tho
mercy of the current.
Tho office of tho Willamette Falls Ex
celsior company has just toppled over,
but still remains in place Tho ware
house of tho same company has been
moed on its foundations since 2 o'clock.
Tho Excelsior company has lost eighty
tons of cottonwood.
Sixteen houses on Gooso Flat havo
been turned completely over and havo
been swept some distance from their
foundations.
The Portland Flouring Mills Com
pany havo moved .$4,000 worth of flour
to tho upper floors of its mill, but thoro
still remains on tho lower floor 2,000
worth over which tho water is now rap
idly pouring. Strenuous efforts are be
ing made to save tho flour.
Water now is very near tho weaving
room of tho Oregon City Woolen Mills.
The company havo stored largo quanti
ties of valniblo goods, but much more
liG3 still in considerable danger. They
havo been compelled to remove the office
to safer quarters.
The palp and sulphite mill aro stand
ing the strain well. "
Tho electric light station still stands.
The current does not seem to beat against
it as strongly as against tho other struct
ures. As to whether or not this building
will stand opinions vary, but the chances
seem to bo that it will survive tho flood.
Later in the day tho Crown Paper
Mill mentioned in the above, was car
ried away, and went whirling down
twelve miles to Portland where it
went to pieces against the Morrison
street bridge, several hundred tons of
prepared pulp forming a part of the
total ruin.
So far there is no report of any loss
oi unman me.
The following dispatch was received
at Portland last Tuesday night
from Knlama:
Tho Columbia river is now about sev
enteen feet abovo low water mark and is
is still rising about one inch per hour.
Tho weather is somewhat cooler to-night.
Tho Northern Pacific Company's trans
fer boat is still crossing trains regularly,
without any trouble so far, but should
the water get two feet higher it will flood
the inclines and make it impossible to
get trains on and off tho boat. Tho rail
road company have arranged for a
steamer to be here in readiness, so that,
should tho water stop tho transfer of
trains, the steamer will take passengers
and freight to Columbia City and avoid
any delay.
In its extent and the amount of
damage occasioned, the present flood
exceeds anv for thirty years.

KOPP'JS ice factory.

A terrier paid a visit to John
Kopp's brewery jestcrday and noted
that his ice factory is almost com

assistance, but depending solely on
the patronage that is always justly
awarded to enterprise, he has gone
ahead, and after rebuilding his brew
cry which was totally destroyed by
fire hist summer, began the erection
of a complete establishment for the

The technical details of the process

Suit in the Circuit Court.
John and A. L. Fox have brought

1, 2, :, sec. :n, T. S N.,1L !) W., con
taining OG acres. Tho plaintiffs
bought or Hesanich through his agents
on December I, 18S9, this property.
Before Ilcsnnich had executed a deed
for Messrs. Fox they claim that Boyle
prevailed upon or unjustly persuaded
him to make a conveyance of the prop
erty to him. -Ilcsnnich, therefore,
made out a deed on its face legal and
correct and gave it to Boyle. Boyle,
they allege, knew that the plaintiffs
had negotiated for the laud, llesa
nich is willing to convey the land to
the plantiffs, as he had prepared a
deed or these premises to the plain
tiffs. The deed of the defendant is a
cloud on Hie title of the plaintiffs.
The latter are williug to pay into
court the balance due llesanich.
Hence they tusk that the defendant be
enjoined from selling the property to
others, and le required to convey it
to them, aud judgment for costs and
