A. curious case, involving the owner
ship of child, will come before Judge
Bradshaw as soonsas its present custodi-
dians have responded to a writ of habeas
corpus by presenting the child in court.
A Japanese and his wife have possession
of the child, and claim to be its parents,
but the claim is denied by sChinanan
and his wife, who insist that they are it's
parents. Both parties are ready to do
any amount of swearing in support of
their claims, and it may take the wisdom

The first steamer that ever piled on the
waters on the Pacific has been lying on
the rocks near the entrance of Vancouver
/
the Beaver, and she was built in Eng
land in 1885 for the Hudson Bay Com
pany. AS she could not possibly have
carried coal enough to last her from Lon

made voyage under sail in 165 days. She
outsailed her consort, bark, by % days
and announced her arrival before the
company's station with a broadside from
her battery of six nine-pound guns
She made trips up and down the
| Columbia River from 1886 until the
Hudson Bay Comyany's charter expired
/ in, 1853, when the Imperial Hydregra,
phiel Office purchased her for use in ex.
ploring the coast of the Pacific After
many years of this work she was sold
and her remaining days were spent car
rying ore and supplies and towing log,
until wrecked in gale in 1889. Efforts
have been made to purchase her ane
