composed of ways and material for the

The ZephW arrived Thursday evening,
bringing seven tons OF freight for L. @.
Ferguson, lumber for Hans Hansen
and freight for Others. She also brought
men and apparatus for launching the Nct.
lie. She left Friday for Seattle and way
ports.
For the finest assortment of clocks,
lamps, lanterns, queens, stone, earthen
and glass ware call Mt L. G. Ferguson's
store. lie has just received fresh in-
voice. The ladies will do well to ex-
anime his last importation in the dry
goods line. His prices beat the Jews.
The Ze,ihyr came down from Seattle
and in attempting to go up river toI the
purpose of rendering assistance to the
Nellie, she struck Snag, doing consider.
able damage. She returned to town,
temporarily repaired and next day as
cended MS far as the Nellie. She after
ward returned and proceeded to Seattle.
Mr.. j. Il. Robbins part owner OF both
the Nellie and the Zcphr was on board.
The Nellie now lays high and dry, and
must either be launched or wait for the
river to raise
The Fanny Lahc arrived Oct. 81. So
altered is the appearance Of the Fanny,
since going on the ways, that no one
would recognize her. She has been
heightened, her wheel enlarged, has a
new boiler, has had her cylinders bored
out, eight feet added to her cabin, with
the upper deck extended in short has
been strengthened and improved until
she will compare tavorably with any
boat that runs on the river. Mr.. Greggs
and Capt. Hill are her present owners
We believe she retains all of her old of
ficers and crew. Nov. lst she assembled
the river as far as Stretchs rancho, car
rying freight and passengers as far as
she could go, including among the lat
ter, w. II, Reeves and family, just re-
turned from the east. Capt. Hill thinks
the speed of the boat will be greatly
increased, that she will draw less water
than formerly and that her capacity for
freight is more than doubled.
