TRAVEL is HEAVY.
Long Passenger Lists by
the Steamers.
The Santa Rosa Slightly Damaged in
C0llision-AttaCked by I'm
known Men.

Coast passenger travel is very heavy at
this time, and yesterdays arrivals are
reminiscent of the period when passengers
from the north did not come daily by rail.
The Columbia from Portland brought 1876
passengers, the City of Puebla from Puget
Sound broaght 293, and the Santa Rosa
from San Diego had over 800. Each steam
er also carried heavy freight.
The mship Santa Rosa arrived from
the southern coast yesterday and is lying
al seawall undergoing repairs. Leaving
Red0ndO on her upward trip the tide
swung her stern around under the bow
spirit of the schooner Gov. Ames. The
collision carried away about sixty feet of
her hurricane-deck railing and amputated
the mzzen topmast. Probably $500 will
cover the damage.
Ii is surprising to nOte the daily increase
in travel by the new ferry-boat ROsalie
Every TWO hours circus crowds may be
seen entering ana emerging from Mission
wharf / UnfOrtunatel the managers of
! the Davie Transportation Company have
! as yet been unable 10 secure another
! steamer and until that is done the prOposi-
ton to give an hourly service has to be set
aside.
1t was confidently hoped to secure Sec
ond s.uamot fvT to-uay's t.aTei, but IL
| seems that the Southern Pacific Company,
! by no means pleased with the loss of a
! large revenue which every day grows
larger, has created q corner in available
cratt and the best efforts Of the new nppo-
ton have, so far. proved unavailing.
proximate figures on yesterdays travel
| give 5000 fares.
Notable will be the excursion announced
! Oy the Oregon Pacific Railroad Company
for Thursday, July q. On that day the
/ steamer Willamette Valley will sail for
YaQuina Bay, one OF the finest summer
resorts in Oregon. In and around this bay
there is splendid surf bathing mussels as
/ .0ug as lead pencil and rock oysters, the
most curious and sweetest of all bivaIves.
hat there is fine fishing and hunting goes
1ithout saying, but it is not generally
nown that at Yaquina there are acres
pom acres of wild rhudodendrons. The
ire is ridiculously low. only $40 for the
)und trip. including meals and birth, good
n return within thirty days. Nor is this
|. The aforementioned rate also in
udes the rail rideS from YaQuina Bay to
lbany, the center OF the great Willamette
alley.
