How the Digger-Wasps Make Thei

July had come again, and brought

PILE DRIvING.-- The workmen are

Railroad wharf. In another week that
wharf will be long enough to accommo-
date ali the vessels that come into this
port. The smaller vessels will lie up
towards the head Of the pier, while the
larger ships, like the Western Shore

to have been chartered by Capt. Blair
for another year., will take their loads
ct the outer end. The cars are all
bsing set upon new trucks, made with
rubber springs, so IS to wear the iron

this city the wear and tear Of track
will be comparatively light, but from
Renton to the depot at Newcastle
the grade is very heavy, and will wear

is ct least seventy per cent heavier
than that used on the old Lake Wash.

in at the rate of eight tons to the car
load. will render the loading of ships
much more rapid operation. Besides
the loading Of coal directly into ships

THE HARVEST Hoxg-Aboa. nine
o'clock last night report WAS in cir
culation to the effect tha. this lark was
off Port Townsend with all her sails
blown away. and that tug had been
dispatched to her relief from this city.
Our reporter immediately called upon
an officer of the coal company who had
heard nothing about it. As we had two
dispatches from Port Townsend before
the telegraph Office closed, neither Of
which mentioned such occurrence, we
were 10th to credit the story. But
after diligently elbowing about for an
hour, he met an officer Of the steamer
Messenger. who told him that when
they left Tacoma, . report wss current
in that place that the Goliah had come
into Port Gamble from the Straits With
vessel and reported seeing the HAr-
vest Home in crippled condition Of
Neah Bay. The doubt against the ru.
NOR is this: To begin with, no vessel
has arrived at Port Gamble for the past
four days. 30 it is not likely the Goliah
mas been down the Straits since she
towed the James Chester to sea last
Sunday; and if any disaster of the
kind had been noticed there 1t would
have been made known, ere this.
Moreover, the Goliah is commanded by
. man who would not let q crippled
vessel drift BY him and 60 ashore as
long az he had a cord of wood on bis
decks. We don't take much stock 10
the story, but think the old bark will
be along in day or two. She has on
board q largs lot of Seattle freight and
her arrival is anxiously awaited by
many of our merchants.

SCREENING CoAL.-V. Quimby, who
has the selling Of Talbot coal at retail.
has fitted up a screen near the Walla
Wslls railroad depot, At which he will
clean all his coal, before delivering it to
families. He will, by this means have
plenty OF screenings to sell to jobbinp
steam boats. which find that class Of
coal as good as any other. All the
steamers navigatings the upper Sscra-
mento river use screening and find them
the most profitable kind of fuel. The
reason of this is that the hardest coal
not only contains the most c. bustiye
principle. but is also the most brittle.

COLLECTION DAY-To-morrow is the

in this city, and we presume that pay

promptness. We have noticed lately a
disposition on the part Of certain per-
sons to make their debtors pay bills
twice over aud there is no excuse for
1t. Men are generally careful TO take
receipts when paying out money, but
those receipts will sometimes get mis-.
laid. Ii we hear Of any more of such
operations, we shall begin to think they
are mistakes done on purpose. and ven
tilate them accordingly.
