CO NTY ROADSlN BAD
SHAPE, IT IS SAID
HIGH WATERS HAVE PARTIAL
LY RUINED THE PLANK
ING.

After a trip over some Of the
county roads in the vicinity Of Ham
mond and Warrenton Judge Trench
ard states that they are in very bad
condition, and that the water is still
flooding them in many places, while
much Of the country around Warren
ton is still under water when the tides
are up. The dikes are bodily broken
and carried away.
The roads are not passable in many
places, and because OF their danger
Gus condition it is said to be highly
inadvisable to try to make passage
over them. especially as between the
Lewis and Clarke and the Skipanon.
When the waters come in they lift
up the planking and move it about,
and then when the planking settles
with the receding tides it is not likely
to fall in the proper place. Many
boards have thus been loosened,
also, and some sections carried away.
The matter presents a somewhat
serious problem for the consideration
Of the county court, and while there
is reluctance on the part of the
members to make any definite state
ment it is said to be likely that until
the dikes in that section are put in
good shape it will be quite useless to
try to spend any money on the re-
pair of the county roads. If the
roads were repaired now at a big
cost the very next high water would
ruin them again, it is thought, and
hence the first necessity is to have
the dikes improved and built SO
solidly that the water won't break in
the first time the tides come. Many
Of the dikes in that section were
built many years ago. and it is said
they hardly should be still classed
under the name of dikes. They were
not we'll built at first and in the pas
sage of years have been worn so that
they had ceased to be Of much value,
It would appear as if the property
owners will have big expense to
meet in reconstructing their dikes
Some Of the townsites controlled by
Portland parties need diking very
badly, and are now under water
Persons who have been down there
the past few days say that some
cattle are still standing in water
when the tides are high, and that il
some places the residents go to anC
from their houses in boats.

Another Old Paper

Since the discussion Of old time
newspapers has arisen attention has
been called to a very old copy of The
Ulster County (New York; Gazette,
which hangs on the wall Of the lodge
rooms Of Temple Lodge, r. & A. M.
The little old paper Is enclosed in
glass and bears date Of January 4,
1890. II was Of interest evidently, to

Piano Recital By DR.. Emma

From some inexplicable cause, var
iously charged to the weather and to
other local attractions for the even
ing, there was but a meagre audience
present last evening at the Memorial
Lutheran Church to hear Or. Emil
Emma in the embodiment OF his splen-
did recital; but that made no differ
ence whatever TO the doctor who held
rigidly to the long list Of superb Sc
leetions he had programmed for the
occasion, and gave extraordinary
pleasure to everyone present, as he
always does. He was ably assisted
by Miss Laurie Mccain, who sang as
delightfully."- and cleverly as though
there were thousand auditors in
stead OF hundred. A magnificent
coneert-grand piano Of the Weber
make, that added materially to the
beauty Of the evenings work, had
been sent from Portland by the
Eilers, and was a notable feature Of
the entertainment. Those whose bet
ter judgment influenced their pres
ence at this exceptional affair, are
congratulating themselves on not
having missed it. The Astorian hopes
to have an extended notice Of the
entertainment on Sunday next in its
social columns,
