150 Years 1872-1886 The Dalles THE DECADES OF HISTORY PART TWO OF THE DALLES CHRONICLE'S TEN-PART SERIES. March 30, 2007 page 6 WE FEAR YET ANOTHER FLOOD THE RIVER - The Columbia is acting badly this year, and is now not more than ten feet above low water, when it ought to be twenty or thirty. Should the cold weather continue two or three weeks longer, and then change to very warm and continue for three or four weeks, we should not be surprised to see the river over the entire city of The Dalles up to the bluff. However we don't fear such a catastrophe, but, nevertheless, it would suit the citizens of this city just as well if the weather would turn warmer and run off the larger portion of the water before the June freshet sets in. Our city has been visited in the last three or four years with about as many calamities as she is able to stand. April 22, 1880.
