Tt is stated that one-half of the stock for the the Columbia river dry dock at Westport has been subscribed in tVc east, and no doubt thev can get llieoth icr half taken in Oregon and San Francisco. The probabilities' are that the dock will be commenced ths summer. The Oregonian of yesterday says: The annual spring flood of the 'Colum bia river commenced about two weeks airo. and the river is rishur now at the rate of about six inches per day. A cor- responding rise in the Wallamet has occurred, and yesterday it came over the lower floors of most of the docks along the citv front. The mountains west and north which sent their streams to the Columbia river are reported to be heavily covered with snow, and if the weather should suddenly become in- tensely hot, the flood whould be great and disastrous.
