A party Of ladies', Mesdames S. A
Hill, A. Nj. Valentine and G. f. Craw-
ford all of New York. came up yester-
day on the boat from Portland, and
took the train last night for the east.
They have been making an extended
tour of the west, and said they saw
nothing on their entire journey that
was more attractive than the scenery
along the Columbi river.

tative of his appears in this vicinity
and starts futter in the treeze. A
few days since surveyors, who are sup
posed to be in the employ of the North
ern Pacific, pitched their tent across
the river and began work, and yester-
day E. B. Seabrook, Mohr's engineer

What is the river going to do is a
question that Is agitating the people
of The Dalles at present. There is
enough snow in the Rocky mountains
now to bring the Columbia above the

so. The snow in the mountains is
packed very solid, and unless the
weather should turn very warm it will
not melt rapidly, though should warm
south winds prevail for a month the
thaw will be very rapid, anu there is
little telling how high the water might
be.
