 BY ORDER OF COMMITTEE. Yesterday morning Manuel Be- tanni and Gene Avery rescued na- tive who had fallen through the ice on Boring Soa. Standing on the Sandspit, Avery beheld native coming across tho ice field dragging a sled along, having apparently been out hunting. He paid no par ticular attention to the Eskimo be- ing more concerned as to the chances of the ice breaking away from shore and which In fact caused him to survey the horizon. Shortly afterwards he heard cries for help unmistakably from the ice and go- ing out in the direction of the voice he beheld native hanging on to the fringe of ice around channel which was open and where the water was over twenty feet deep. | Seeing the impossibility of rescu- ing him without rope. he went to Manuel Botanni's cabin where he, secured one from the latter who also vent with Avery to help in the work of rescue. The sides of the place sloped down to the water where the native was submerged all but his head, and they had dang erous and exciting time getting in touch with the man to be rescued as the sides of the channel were slick as glass and it wcs hard work hanging on. They east tho life line to the native who grabbed it with alacrity while Botanni and Avery getting a good purchase on a hum- mock, pulled for all they were worth up the steep sides. The native was at length drawn up to safety on the ice little the worse for his beyond a thorough soaking in ice cold water. Louis is now thinking of starting a life sav- ing station on Sandcpit City.
 
 The Snake river ice broke up yesterday afternoon shortly after three o'clock. The ice above the foot bridge as far as the dredge Wisconsin had worked loose and foated down stream tanning against tho piling and sides of the river. This caused the stream to rise and the ice in front finally broke away and tho waters and ice whirled out toward sea. The great pressure broke loose a considerable quantity of piling and a huge stringor adjacent to River streel. Some of the boats were dangerously near the ice pressure, and Rowe's teams were required to save the De- fiance. Captain Wagner who had been keeping Q weather eye on ice had his launch Standard ready with blocks and tackle to haul his craft to safety. The Belinda stood quite ways down in the water but was safe all tho time. During tho turmoil of ice ana waters the foot bridge was subject ed to considerable straining, ana after it ,was over it was seen that it was pretty lop-sided and ricketty at both ends and half the way across the middle. In order to en- sure the safety of pedestrians at this point Louis rBotanni has placed his boat in commissoh and steers those who want to. cross from side to side. Belmont Point was also or the restricted list yesterday as, grea. sheets of whirling wlterc cut off the bridge approaches on both ends. Even the water backed up to the level of the, railrosd bridge and the river was rising steadily throughout the day. The heavy rains for the past twenty-four hours and. the consequent thaws that have prevail cd are the cause Of the swollen streams.
