SAND IsLAND.-The island has
gained wide reputation because it
lies directly at the entrance of the CO.
lumbia river, and the hungry waves
that toss and pitch and worry about
it. have laid upon its beach line many
a corpse of hardy fisherman. 1t was
upon this island that the Great Re

framework surmounted by her inn
mense walking beam still greets the
voyager's troubled gaze as he ap-
proaches the dreadful bar, when the
breaking waves remind him of the
cleaning teeth Of some monster of the
deep. Upon this sand island fishery
is to be established by Cook Bros, who
have leased it for term of five years.
They will build portable wharves and
