THE HARBOR LINES.
Valuable Government Aid in
Making Surveys.
ARMY ENGINEERS COOPERATE.
Litigation Delays Survey at seattle-Na-
tional and State Governments
Agree on the Lines.

Hon. Eugene Semple returned yesterday
from three days session of the harbor
line commission at Olympia the first since
the return of Chairman W. F. Prosser
|. from Washington City. Mr.. Prosser an
nounced that Captain Gilbert had been
assigned to duty on the Pacific coast by
the United States coast and geodetic sur
vey with instructions to report to the
state harbor line commission. This ar
rangement will involve a considerable
saving to the state, as it secures the use of
steam launch and instruments without
any expense except for fuel and $3.50 day
for communication of subsistence.
The use to which the coast survey detail
is to be put gave rise to some discussion.
Mr.. Semple had expected that Captain
Gilbert would be assigned to complete the
surveys of the Seattle and Ballard har-
bors, of which he has charge, but it was
the opinion of the majority of the COM
mission that the writs of prohibit ton
against the filing of maps of the Seattle
harbor lines prevent any fur
Their action in regard to this
point. A resolution was offered
by Mr.. Prosser that Captain Gilbert
report to him to survey the harbors of
Port Angeles and Anacortes. Mr.. Semple
dissented from the views of the majority,
and offered substitute, providing that
Captain Gilbert survey the harbors of Sc
attic and Ballard. His substitute was
voted down and the resolution adopted.
This action prevents any progress from be-
ing made with the Seattle harbor until
the United States supreme court acts on
the writs of prohibition in October.
The commission held consultation
with the board of United States army en-
gineers appointed by the secretary of war
to cooperate with it in the establishment
of harbor lines and adoption of schemes
of harbor improvement. This board is
composed of Colonel G. H. Mendell,
Major T. II. Handbury and Captain
Thomas w. Symons, and has inspected
the harbor lines and proposed improve
ments at Vancouver, Bellingham bay and
Olympia and unanimously approved
them. So
The commission agreed on harbor lines
for Vancouver and approved the accounts
of A. Is. NOVEL;, the engineer. for the sur
yey of Hwaco harbor.
Frank II. Richards, of Whatcom, and
D. G. Guernsey. of Dayton, also members
of the commission, were at the Northern
hotel yesterday, on their way home
from the meeting of commissioners
at Olympia, and in regard to the
consultation with the board of arm

LUCY LOWE BURNED.
Lime-Carrying Steamer Lost
Near Deception Pass.
CAUSED BY STORMY WEATHER.
Large Number OF Vessels Loading on
the Sound-New Agent of Pacific
Coast Steamer Line.

Steamer Lucy Lowe was burned near
Deception pass about O'Clock Monday
evening, with a cargo of 200 barrels OF
lime she was taking from Roche Harbor
to Tacoma. The sea was very rough when
she entered the strait outside the pass,
and. being heavily loaded. she shipped
water. causing the lime TO slake and set
fire to the vessel. She was out about
mile at the time, but the captain ran her
in on the beach, and she was entirely con-
sumed. None of her crew was injured.
The matter was kept rather quiet for
some reason and the 6rst information re-
earding it here was in dispatch received
by Captain Bryant, local inspector OF
hulls. from Supervising Inspector Lub-
book. of San Francisco, yesterday. 1t is
probable that Captain Jordan, master of
the vessel, telegraphed the news to her
owners at San Francisco, and from
them it reached Captain Lobbuck.
Captain Jordan ard six other mem
bers of the crew came In on the
steamer Wasco last night, but none OF
them could be found. therefore the only
information that could be received regard
ing the disaster was that gathered from
the crew on the Wasco.
The Lucy Lowe was about the most sea-
worthy boat on the Sound. She was built
for freighter, and after being engaged as
such on the Sound for some time, was
fitted out as wrecking vessel and spent
the greater part of last year in wreckng
cruise along the upper coast. Business
became slack in that line and during the
winter she came back and engaged in
carving lime from Roche Harbor to Ia
coma, taking back such general freight as
she could get.
The total loss was probably about 81, 200
to $1,000, of which 81 200 was on the cargo
and the balance on the vessel. 1t Is
thought the vessel was insured
The following dispatch from Port Town
send gives the details of the burning of
the steamer:
PoRr TOWNSEND, April 6.-lSpe cial 1.-The
steam schooner Lucy Lowe was burned TO the
waters edge near Fidago City early on Monday
morning. She loaded l,2j0 barrels Of lime at
Roche Harbor Sunday night and sailed
for Tacoma. Heavy seas flooded the decks
and the lime slaked. The deck load was thrown
overheard and the vessel headed for Deception
pass, when the cargo in the hold was found to
be on fire. The engineers and firelnen were
driven from their quarters, and the fiSe spread
rapidly. Steam was only kept up by the crew
rushing down through the binding smoke
and shoveling coal into the furnaces anG
returning TO the deck. Before the vessel could
reach the shore the flames drove the captain
and officers from the pilot house. The steamer
was scuttled in two fathoms of water, and as
she sank the boilers exploded. The crew had
gotten safely ashore in the meanwhile
The Lowe was owned by the Commercial Com
pany OF san Francisco and was valued at $40, ZOO,
partly insured. She was formerly British
sealing vessel, which was captured in Bering
sea FIVE years ago, confscated aud sold by the
government

beam of the first car, but slipped
and was crushed beneath the
wheels, derailing the car. The train

structions to ship the body to Seattle on
the first train.

engineers said that some years
ago congress passed law authorizing the
secretary of war to establish harbor lines
at the various ports of the United States,
and under the provisions of this act lines
have been laid in various Eastern cities.
Mr.. Richards continued:
The state commission is anxious to have the
cooperation of the war department so that the
lines, as now laid, may DE approved both by the
state and the general government. For should
the secretary OF was at some later time lay lines
differing from ours, endless litigation
might result. This was one OF the
matters upon which our chairman, Colonel
William F. Prosser, during his recent trip to
Washington City, consulted with the secretary.
The result was the appointment of the board OF
army engineers who met with us at Olympia.

Northern and Union Pacific Stocks.

New YORK, April 6.-The Wall Street
Journal says: There is talk of bull pool
in Northern Pacific to be organized with

the loaning rate firmer than that of any
other stocks.

NEW York, April 6.-Transfers of stock
for the Union Pacific closed today for the
annual meeting in Boston on the
9th inst. The stock is in urgent
demand in the loan crowd. Seven
thousand shares were bought here and TO-
600 in London. The buying was partly
based on the report that the Gould interest
would retire and Marvin Hughitt, presi-
dent of the Northwestern road, would sue
coed Sidney Dillon as president.
BosToN, April 6.-Union Pacific people
here do not appear to share the belief ex-
pressed in New York and limited at from
London, that q radical change in the
Union Pacific management is imminent.
The stories, however, are believed that
the proxies of foreign holdings of stock
are concentrated here that may cause the
change if opportunity is offered.
