Steamship Yaquina.

The steamship Yaauina will leave Yaqnina
City for San Francisco about Tuesday, the
18th inst The following are her officers:
). H. Lawless, captain; j. s. Gibson, lst
officer; K. Knudsen, End officer; Mr.. Mean.
ney, chief engineer; MIR. McDermet, lst
assistant engineer. Capt Lawless has been
in command of the steamer Coos Bay for the
past year. As that steamer has been run
ming to Yaquina for some time, he certainly
knows the bar and will undoubtedly meet
with great success while running to this port.
On the steamers first trip down, she will
carry about 800 tons Of grain which has been
sent by our warehousemen and merchants
as an experiment, which, however, is bound
to be success, and very soon this way of
transporting grain to market will be used by
the entire valley. The present rate to Port
land is So. 20 per ton; from Portland to San
Francisco the rate is $500. making $6.20
from our city to San Francisco. By way Of
Yaquina the rate is 81. 90. making a differ
ence of Sl.7O per ton, or little over five
cents per bushels, which is large gain to
the farmers. When the steamer reaches S.
F. she will be placed on the dry docks and
after having general overhauling, will
make regular trips between Yaquina and
San Francisco.

tered the house. Before they succeeded IL
getting the door opel, some thing frgbtene"
the intruders and they ran away t" the back

found that they had BEEN at work with some
kind If an instrument, trying to turn TIE

to unlock it. If some of our active detect
