FROM YAoUINA BAY.
Editor Democrat:

Having paid a flying visit to New
port on the Yaquina," a few brief items
from hat region may be of some inter-
est to your readers.
The three-masted schooner, Elnora,
lately driven ashore, was hauled off
Wednesday, the 9th ult., by the steam
er Oneatta. She never vas outside
the harbor, rs stated, but, starting out,
the wind died away before she reached
the bar, and the tide drifting her upon
the beach, her main anchor was cast,
but being in shoal water and in danger
of being stove, put into the harbor and
grounded on the sand beach inside
BY the aid of anchors, placed in deep
water, block and tackel on board, and
the steamboat, she was lowed off Mt
high tide. She is now laying on north
beach undergoing repairs. Her out
side planking is smooth and apparent
ly undamaged, but the calking below
the water line is mostly gone and the
bolts and fastenings inside are drawn.
y committee had been appointed to
investigate and estimate the damages
but had not rs yet made any report
1t Is thought she has sustained injuries
to the amount of $4,000 or $1,000. The
accident seems not to have been In
fault of the pilot nor the bar, but the
wind dying away she vas left ut the
mercy of the tide, which threw her
upon the strand.
The new steamer, built and owned
by Mr.. kellogg, is n model of perfec-
ton, her machinery and timbers are
entirely new and she is capable of max
ing u miles per hour. She is fitted up
with a nice upper cabin and offers ac-
commodations second to no boat on the
Willamette River.
Two fisheri $ are to be established
this summer, and n livelier time gen.
orally is anticipated than at any pre-
vious summer, 4 daily stage line will
be run between Corvallis and Elk City,
and a tri-weekly between Corvallis
and Pioneer, to be put on about the LIST
of May. NJ.
