The high Winds that have prevailed this
week have had the effect Of blowing nearly all
the water out of Port Tobacco creek, and from
its source at the warehouse, for distance of
nearly a mile the bottom is entirely exposed
and as bare as the land adjacent. When it is
remembered that large boats loaded with coal
and lumber can End sufficient water 10 enable
them to make landing at the warehouse ordi-
,narly, the force of the wind necessary to carry
of the water can be imagined. TIE exposed bot
.,om is hard frozen, and persons living on the
other side of the creek make their way over TO
this side on this natural bed without trouble
or danger 1t frequently happens that the
northwest winds blow the water from the
creek for a short distance, but the quantity
carried of on this occasion is phenomenal.
Unfortunately it carried OF all the 6sh also.

1t will be gratifying TO the many friends
Of Mr. john Morris to learn OF his continued
success in his adopted home at Savannah, Ga i,
where be has resided since he left the county,
a little more than two years ago. John at
first accepted a position IN a large dry goods
house where his faithful attention to duty soon
attracted to him many friends. He was then

Railroad which ~ d no. comes
the gratifying news that be mas received pro-
molten from the company by being made
chief clerk in the auditors department. We
extend cong ra tulaiions to John on his success
in which we ar. joined by the many friends be
has left behind in old Charles, and sincerely
hope that his lucky star may continue in the
asce.dent. John left here With pluck and
energy and stout heart, willing 10 work and
an ambition to please, and he is nov reaping
the reward that must always follow The pnt-

a Coed Measure.

Senator Edelen hA. introd uced into the Sen
ate bill to protect the riparian rights o. our
land owners bordering on the Potonic river
by preventing the taking of sand from the
bottom of the river for merchantaele purposes
by drsdges or other mach nes The provis-
ions Of the bill include in its operation all the
Potomac river bordering on Maryland shores
from its mouth TO the appcrmost limits Of
Prince Georges county. This is measure IN
which many of our people bordering on the
upper river are much interested and would
like to see en.ctei into a law Years ago the
sale o. the sani on the river sbsre by riparian
owners. which WAS OF n peculiarly hae quality
for building purposes, was quite extensive
and much profit was realized therefrom. II
was extensively used in Washington and Alex
aairi, and Was even shipped to other points
COR building purposes. Recently, however,
some te-prsing person has invented
method whereby this source ofrevesus to oar
people Was lost, BY dredging tbs sand f5om
the bottom Of The river at such point, AS Is
good ou.lit, warranted AMI drylns it ia npsts
or otherwise and shipping tie sand thus iak-n,
% the gre dstrinenr un1 injury OF those
who owned the sand on the shores. Much
.onp.nt has been made Of this ENFORCEMENT
On the rig ht, OIL riparian owners and the eues-
ton of the passage of such bill has long been
'noote1. We are 81 I'd to see that our Senator
"a. at length interested himself 10 the natter
and hope thu, he may succeed Ia having the
bill carried to a successful passage and that
our law officers will see that it. provisions are
.iKidly enforced. In the present state OF de, F
preston in oar seciisa every little helps, .
md If the sand owned on the river front Is
nerchantable asd can be made q source OF
revenue surely our people are ea,itled TO the
profits to be derived therefrom.

REAL ESTATE.
Nincty.SiX Millions Sold fu the
Past Twelve Months.

The reality market of Los Angeles
has attracted wild despread attention
and has formed the theme for many
discussions and comments in the press
of this city and all over the United
States. Time and time again has it
been alleged in the Northern an d
Eastern press that there would be an
end to the activity OF the market and
a decrease in the price of land.
When year ago it was announced
that the total sales of the year 1886
were $26, 900, 900, there was an aston
ishment felt in all quarters and it was
a matter of speculation as TO whether
or not the sales Of 1887 would reach
that figure. Those who were not
friends to Southern California
we're loud in their predic-
tions that the market had
reached its height and that sales
would decline in number. There
were others, however, who knew that
the seed had been sown in the East
and who felt that the crop OF buyers
| would be enormous. These were full
of hope for the future and predicted
larger sales than ever before, and
from glance at the figures below il
appears that their prophecy came
true. The question now is, "will this
activity keep up?" and today there
are to be found in Los Angeles people
who are on both sides OF the question
Just as there were year ago. There
lis a majority, however, at this tim'
who believe that the boom has just
begun, who are morally certain
that within few years Los Angelo
and county will be one OF tn
most thickly settled portions OF thu
United States. These are the people
who are advancing and investing thei
money in improvements and enter
prises, and the outlay in this direc
tion has been enormous during tn
! past year, and will be larger the mex
coming twelve months.

A temperance man from Maine, who

The berries are taken to the screen house
