order TO show cause why hc should

for refusing to turn over to Re

ry's statement was that most Of these
notes were taken by officers of the COM
pany in payment OF claims for services

not been flied. They were oil out

pleted In about thirty days and a. present
the benefit is very marked. A recent sur
vcy. just completed, gives indications that
Cow Point bar Is beginning TO disappear.
The depth of water on this bar has In
creased from six inches to q foot all over
the surface. with the indications that tho
better channel will be on the south side Of
the north channel The character of the
bottom for depth OF about one foot is Of
soft sedimentary deposit which readily
washes Il Is not improbable, though,
that dredging witt have 10 be resorted
TO TO get the required depth Of seventeen
feet at low tide which, after once dredged,
will not ill in again owing TO the con-
traction Of tho channel made BY the dykes
built In thar vicinity.
The channel on the south side Of 5000
feet has been narrowed By dykes 20 100
feet with . ruling depth OF eight feet at
low water. The middle channel has been
flied to 3 depth Of five feet It's whole
length Of 1900 feet thus forcing q
stronger food tide through the north
channel. This, In "a uncompieted state.
has already had the effect Of securing the
channel on TIE north side OF the middle
ground between Hoquiam and Gray's
Harbor about three feet. thus allowing

THE PANIC AT SAN DIEGO.

Two Commercial and One Savings Bank
Compelled to Close Doors. IN
SAN Diego, June 21.-All of the local
banks opened their doors at the usual
hour this morning, and for the first half
hour only an ordinary amount OF busi-
ness was transacted. 1t then became
noticeable that there was to be an un-
usual demand from depositors for the
withdrawal of their deposits. Several
large checks were presented ct
the Consolidated National by anxious
individuals who feared a run and hoped
ia foreetall other depositors by an early
settlement of their accounts. AS soon
as it became apparent that a run had
begun, payments were suspended at the
Consolidated National and the Savings
Bank of San Diego, which occupies the
same building.
The news that these banks had
closed spread quickly about town, pre-
cipitating a run on the First National
Bank of Commerce and the San Diego
Savings bank. The Fret National en-
dured the pressure until after l O'Clock,
when the doors were closed. The San
Diego Savings bank, being in the same
room, it was at first supposed that it
had also failed, but this proved incor-
rect, and the doors we're opened on the
demand of President Sefton and pay
ment resumed.
The rnn on the Bank OF Commerce
continued till the hour of closing. but it
is understood that its resources have
been greatly strengthened and the an
nouncement is officially made that it
will open in the morning.
The Merchants National, a rev
bank recently established, has it's
paid up capital in cseh, in ad
dition to nearly 100000 in deposits,
and no fears are entertained of run
there. New deposits we're opened there
by those Withdrawing elsewhere. but
