Those Nebraska Visitors.

There is an item going the rounds of
the state press that the Nebraska editors
recently here, weren't newspaper men at
all, but real estate agents. They said
they were newspaper men when they
were here, but since then are reported to
have lost three or four diamons-gems
of great value. That does look a little
suspicious, for no newspaper man carries
or wears or owns a diamond pin. A
dime and pin is the nearest he comes to
that luxury.
However, whatever, or whoever they
were they had big mouths made to talk,
and kept their eyes open and can do
land of the blizzard and the cyclone.

THE OREGON PILOTS.
They Turn the Pilot Schooner Governor
Moody" Over TO the State.

The following communication was yes
terday handed to president Montgomery,
of the Oregon Board of Pilot Commits
sioners:
To the Hon. Board Of Pilot Commission
erS for Oregon.
We beg most respectfully to state that
under the present circumstances We find
ourselves unable to defray the running
expenses of the pilot schooner Con.
Moody, much less making a living for
ourselves, and especially for those having
| families to maintain. The circulars is
sued by the o. r. g. n. Co. to ship owners
all over the world. warning them to avoid
being spoken by the schooner pilots, rem
| der it almost impossible for them TO get
employment.
We are, therefore, compelled to respect
fully turn the schooner Goo. Moody over
in your charge, We finding ourselves IN
! able to maintain it any longer.
Yours very respectfully,
G. HARTMAN,
THos. r. NELL,

So, thus ends that chapter in the his
tory of towage and pilotage on the Co
lumbis river bar.
The Cor. Moody.was built here snd
launched in October, 1885, at a cost of
$1e, 900, that amount having been ap-
propriated by the state. After launch
ing she was rigged out complete and
turned over to the Oregon bar pilots.
After the towage on the bar passed en-
tirely out of the hands of Capt. Flavel.
some of the Washington territory pilots
at their own expense had the schooner
@. e. White built in San Francisco, at
cost of about $l2,0o0
The bill passed by the Oregon legisla-
ture last winter boycotted the Washing
ton territory pilots so efectually that
they had to let go, and offer their schOon-
or for sale.
Now the state of Oregon is froze out,
and the schooner built by state money Is
also lying idly at anchor ut Astoria.
There was some talk in the lobby at
Portland last winter, and some implied
pledges made relative to aid i'll main
tanning the state pilot schooner, but
promises like pie crust are made to be
broken.
Comment is needless: the facts speak
for themselves. The state has had to
back down, and retire from the business
that it set up four years ago.
The pilot commissioners will have a
meeting next Monday, when the above
letter and the ultimate fate of the schoon-
er will come up for discussion.
