WATER FRONT NOTES,

The steamer Angeles came in from Port An
geies with seven tons of old iron and copper
from the hull of an old wreck. She went out
with thirty five tons of merchandise. The w. F.
Munroe had sixteen tons for Skagit river points
The J. r. Mcdonald took seventy-fve tons for
rockingham bay and way ports. The Hermosa
mad sixteen tons for points on the Neah bay
route The City of Seattle took eleven tons on
the Whatcom route. The City of Kingston took
Twelve tons on the Victoria run, and the fishing
schooner Anaconda came in from the Straits
with fifteen tons of fish, mostly halibut.
The association boats furnish a striking Illus
tration of discrimination in freight rates The
uniform rate for all points on the Sound is 81 50
per ton except Port Townsend and Port Angeles
These points are touched by steamers on the
Victoria run, and in order to maintain the So
rate to Victoria, the rate to Port Townsend is
$3.50 and to Port Angeles s2.75, while the rate to
Whatcom, which is much farther, only on an
other route, is only $50.
A large number of small boats are having
tube boilers put in, as they are light and get up
steam very quickly. Those boilers consist of o
series of spiral tubes in which the water is con-
tanned, and those are encased in q firebox made
OF heavy sheet iron lined with asbestos. The
whole makes a very light and, it is claimed,
safe boiler for small boats.
The Union Pacific Company's new steamer
excursion on the Columbia river yesterday
She will make another trip today or tomorrow
to get her machinery to working smoothly and
Il to start for Seattle Monday. She will probably
run between here and Victoria.
large number of piles, which have been
broken of, keep floating around on end in the
bay, the top almost on q level with the water,
making it very dangerous for boats at night as
they are liable to get fast in the wheel and do
considerable damage.
