The heavy wind yesterday morning between the houra of 3 and S o'clock, tore up things generally from one end' of the city to the other. In Unlontown the old Seaside cannery warehouse was knocked off Its underpinning 'and Is now a total wreck. The Norwegian M. B. Church In Up perto'wn was unroofed and Its windows and doors blown out. A. T. Bracker's house, next door to the church, was struck by flying debris, and the gable end was considerably damaged. At the Oregon Improvement Com pany's bunkers the whole roof went over Into the bay. Pieces of the roof trimmings of No. Three's engine house went early In the game. Down the street a short dls. tance the tall galvanized Iron smoke stack on Swan's restaurant, became weak and leaned on the adjoining build ing for support. The Scottish Glons, anchored off na vel's dock, shifted her anchorage to a position on the sands, tout was easily removed at high tide. One of the gov- language. The meaning, ihowever, is generally clear, though It might have been better expressed. Shipmaster are advised that when their vessel is lying at a dock, the "off-Shore anchor must 'be suspended ready for dropping." "SuS' pended" Is a very good word, but Its use In this connection caused, great hilarity among the skippers. Then, again, the ordinance says that "lower yards must 'be braced sharp on the inshore braces," This is a matter which must be regulated according to circumstances. To prevent mud, sand or gravel from falling Into the river from a ship discharging ballast, the law provides that "a cenvas chute" be erected between the vessel and the dock but does not specify whether the bal last be sent through this chute- or dumped from a bucket. Perhaps the most remarkable state' ment of all, and one which created the greatest merriment, is in the sec tion relating to anchoring In the stream In which the captain Is Instructed to moor his vessel with the "bow tor- ward." Harbor Master Fitch denies having had any hand In the drawing up of the ordinance. NOT YET AWARDED. The Water Works Contract Remains UndecidedAlso that of the Bond Sale. ernment barges also came to anchor on the sands. The chimneys on F. L. Parker's resU dence were damaged to some extent. Up by the Clatsop Mill, when day break came on, the scene resembled a place recently visited by a Kansas cy Ttie committee appointed by the water commission to examine the various bids on construction, as well as the bids on bonds, found a greater work on their hands than at first anticipated. It was a big Job, and the deeper they plunged into the pile of papers, the more apparent became the fact that it would take several days to go over the various proposals and decide on the lowest. Up to date the bond question has not been decided, Mr. Van Dusen having agreed to give S. A. Keen, the Chicago bidder, 48 hours to make a necessary deposit to show good faith.

FOR A TREASURE ISLAND. A Captain's Voyage In Search for an Islandjiot on the Charts. San Francisco, Jan. 12. The schoonei yacht Vine, Captain John E. Burns sailed this morning for four months trading voyage In the South Seas. Slie will go to Guayamas, and thence to Honolulu, Tahiti, and the Gilbert Is lands. There Is a touch of romance In this voyage, from the fact that the captain Is planning to do a little pros pectlng for a lost island, in addition to his trade with the South Sea people It seems that in 1843, Captain Williams an acquaintance of the owner and mas ter of the Vine, discovered a valuable AT IB STATE CMO!

Considerable fear was entertained for a while that the dikes in that vi cinity would weak, tout at last ac counts they were reported all right. On account of high water In the Sklp- anon river, the hrldge at Warrenton was disabled, and the Dwyer met the train at that place on the afternoon trip. The government line went down early and there was no way of ascertaining correctly Just how hard the wind did blow at the Cape, .but parties up from Ilwaco last evening state that the ob server at that place reported 132 miles.

Our boys and girls have no advantages of edu cational means outside of the narrow scope of the text books used. This Spectacles were fashioned In the six. teenrh century. They were costly, the usual price being an equivalent of $5, It was believed that the larger the lenses, and the heavier the rhnu, the greater the dignity added to the wear er's appearance. At Glenwood, Minnesota, yesterday, Mies Giddons, daughter of Superintend ent Glddons, of the iEawyer stock and dairy farm of this place, an estimable young lady, and, John Marcom, a gen tleman from California, were to be married. The prospective groom had ' been In town several days, but yester day morning he could not be found hence the wedding was Indefinitely postponed.
