The steamer Resale that fispred so CON-
splcuously in the Dayie onnositiou ferry
line to Oakland has been sold RI n r
jackson of the Northwestern Stsomsbin
Company of Puget Sound for $40 600 the
news of the transfer reached this citv YES
terday from Seattle.
The Rosalie was only recentIv rafttod ~
San Francisco and placed upon the ra,,to
between Seattle and Alaskan noints
Nearly S10,0 was spent in preparing bor
for the traffic of the north, and it is soma
what of a surprise to every body to learn
that her owner. Mr.. Dimond. was willing
to sacrifice her such a low figure.
ID. B. Jackson. the purchaser of the
ROsalte, was at one time an agent for the
Union Pacific at Portland. Or, and it is
lntimated that the Union Pacific forced
the sale of the vessel
When the Resale left San Francisco she
did so with great flourish, announcing
that her future business would be TO bid
for passenger traffic to Sitka and Juneau.
There is something very strange about her
sudden withdrawal from the Alaskan
route. especially as the citizens of juneau
offered subsidy of $4,000 If the steamer
would continue to stop at their port.
Henceforth the RoGalie will ply between
V lctorla ana Seattle. She made oily two
trips to Alaska AID was not very success
full from financial point of view, so it
Is stated.
1t begins to look as if the Spreekels
towboat company will have to pay a big
bill for repairs to the ship Fintshire The
ship locked at Main street Yesterday
morning aud commenced to take in stiffen-
ing through her after hatch so as to bring
her down on even keel. When this has
been accomplished the vessel will be
locked.
AS stated. heretofore, the damage to the
Flintshire by collision with the EDoch
Talbot will amount to about $1,000 The
ships bowsprit has been broken off close
TO the marting ale, the stem fractured and
one of the starboard plates badly pune
tured.
There is stilla great deal of talk about
the machinery OF the steamer Willamette
Valley. When THE CALL published the
fact thatit was rapidly rusting and needed
attention Sheriff McDade, who then had
charge of the vessel, very promptly made
arrangements TO have man put to work
cleaning and preserving it. just before
this workman started to commence opera
tons the United States Marshal got con-
troll of tbs steamer, and since that time no
steps have been taken to carry out the
Sherif's good intentions.
1t is stated that there will be several
good bidders for the Willamette Valley
should she be put up at auction. Owing
to the marine claims pressed by the Oregon
courts, the sale of the vessel is postponed
until settlement can be reached.
Captain Daniel Jorgensen has tak4n
command of the schooner Elwood CAp-
tain johnson has started north by pail
and will arrange for another cargo of FISH
for San Francisco.
The Elwood's cargo of halibut sold like
hot cakes, in spite of the opposition of the
hsherTeD's union, and her owners are
satisfied that they can be just as success
full with load Of good salmon.
The Elwood is not on the marine regis
ter, for the reason that she was only
short while ago known as the Yukon-the
Government survey schooner detailed in
northern waters. Her identity was a good
deal Of mystery for a while: the change
OF name accounts for III.
The steamer Weeott did not go to sea
yesterday morning, as advertised. The
ms ector of HulIs and Boilers decided FIAT
the WeeOt had better repair her engines.
and she was detained in consequence The
Weeott is an almost new craft. but her
boilers have given her a great deal of
trouble, the tubes burning out very rapidly.
The act OF Congress passed Nav 2S rela
tive to the blowing OF steam whistles nv
vessels passing through heavy mist or
fog, is believed by local inspectors to be-
defective, for the reason that it requires a
vessel to sound warning only once eyerv
TWO Illu utSss Wull6 CuQer the existing
ulatlons a blast must be sounded every
sixty seconds.

Captain c. f. Swan, late commander CT
the bark McNear. has been exonerated of
the charge or having assaulted the owner
Of the vessel. Captain Swans friends are
Ill pleased TO see him clear of the court
