HIGH WATEK.-The Columbia River has
now reached higher stage than has been
known at any time during the last four
years. This is The report from Wallula, and
he apprehension is that it may interfere with
the working of the railroad, and prevent the
cars from reaching The landing. The water
penetrating through the sand and alkali dust
that compose the road bed, soon reduces it 10
qnick-sand, and makes it dangerous for the
cars to pass over any part of the road thus
undermined. 1t is quite likely that port
age of mile or a mile and half will have
TO be made, and TO that extent the convent
ences for freighring over the railroad will
temporarily suffer.

characterized him for the past twenty
years. He says himself that he has
lost the snap and vim he had before

private correspondence, and seems to
have no concern about business. He
has consented to obey the doctors in

THE OLD NAY.


1t has passed out of popular recol-
lection that presidential candidates
were formerly nominated by congress-
ional caucuses. The first national con-
vention of any party was held in Bal
timore in 1882, and nominated Jackson
for reelection. Baltimore was the
scene of all the national conventions
from that time up to 1889, when on
the 4th of december, the whig party
met in Harrisburg Pa, and nominated
Harrison. This convention was the
earliest in point of time ever held, it's
ticket being placed in the field eleven
months previous to the date of elec-
tion-eleven of the ''hotest'' months
this country has ever known. Jack
son was highly pleased with the con-
ventional plan, and warmly recon-
mended its permanent adoption. Since
1889, the place of meeting has been
changed from term to term.
