river is again booming, and until dark Sc
rious fears Of another freshet were enter
tanned. Tonight the citizens are moving
about, armed with lanterns, eagerly watch
ing gauges set at the waters edge. The
water has submerged a number of small
houses in the low-lying districts near the
river. The occupants have escaped
to higher land. Unlike the freshet
of September, the present rise is
not totally unexpected, and people have
had time to remove to places of safety At
dawn this morning the community was
considerably startled at seeing backwater
in the city from the river, which was then
about thirty feet high. About o'clock
this afternoon the cotton mills shut down
because back water stopped the wheels
The extension of Broad street leading to
Harrisburg was covered with water during
the afternoon.
STARTLING RUMoRs.
Wild and startling rumors were on the
streets throughout the day. Every one
near the water has a private gauge. A tenn
porary gauge at the river tonight about
o'clock showed that the water was at a
standstill at about thirty three feet. Since
the halt no rise has been noted.
A better feeling prevails and fears
are about abandoning, though many
precautionary steps are taken to guard
against any surprises The principal con
Germ in the community is whether the new
canal banks will resist the pressure of the
water against them. Supt Bennett has a
large force of men on hand at places sus-
pected of being weak. In one place rise
of six inches more would do much damage
A log Of drlftwood struck one of the banks

ASTORIA. OREGON:
A NEGATIVE ARGUMENT.

A PRINTED slip was received yes
terday morning, the proof of an arti-
Gle which appeared in the Garden
and Forest of the Doth inst.
It is entitled THE Defense of Ma
tional Property" and argues that the
timber land act of June 3, 1878, ought
TO be repealed, and all the timber
land in California, Oregon and Wash
ington Withdrawn from sale. It says
we must save the forests, and must
put the q. S. army IN charge of the
woods until a plan for their perma-
nent administration has been compile
ted" whatever that may mean.
The editorial appears to be serious |
" written, but, for the life OF US, we
cannot answer it seriously. 1t is too
ridiculous.
If the editor of Garden and Forest
will come out here and walk from
Saddle mountain to the Nehalem, he
will change his mind and wish some
other form of punishment for the US.
army.
What has the U. S. army ever done
to that editor that he should be so
down on it?
Nc, sir: we shall stand up for the
great q. S. army and say, better that
its members be forever secluded in
peaceful forts than that its shattered
lines and thin ranks be exposed to the
perils of protecting the timber of the
northwest.
Does not the editor of the Garden
and Forest know that we have de-
veloped a great industry here: the
publication of land Office notices of
timber land taken up under the act
that he in his madness would frepeal?
Let him pause in his blindness,
and visit us and he will find that all
over this wide domain are sundry de-
serving men in every nook and corner
working eighteen hours a day for
their health and the love they bear
for the climate, publishing timber
land notices, and this man in his far
off eastern home, surrounded by all
that exalts and embellishes civilized
life has the gall to write to us on the
frontier suggesting that the timber
act be repealed and the q. S. army
turned loose on US, defenseless as we
are, and that we shall have no more
land Office notices to publish. And
this, too, on the eve Of new admins
tration.
Men and brethren, let US takepro
er precautionary measures to have
this man sat upon, severely.
And he talks of "posterity."
What has posterity ever done for
US?
The man who writes this from the
tall tower of the New York Tribune
building is off his base. Much learn
ing has made him mad. The next
idiotorial we get from him will be
dated from the New York insane asy-
lum at Bloomingdale. When he does
go crazy he won't have far to go.
A BILL was introduced in the Ne
