GREAT FLEET OF scAooNERs.
Extraordinary Spectacle in the Harbor-
Over 200 Coasters and Over 60 Lumber
Laden.

From the Eastern Promenade yesterday
the harbor presented an unusual and inter
esting spectacle. 1t was almost verItably'
full of vessels. 1t was SO full in fact. that
Harbor Master Kelsey declared that il any
of them had to be moved from the channels
he should be at loss to know where to put
them. For the last three days he has been
down the harbor moving vessels. He moved
tour yesterday, sixteen the day before and
still more the day before that. During this
month he has moved sixty-three, which
breaks the record for a long time.
There were certainly over two hundred
vessels in the upper and lower harbor. Of
these only four were square rugged, all the
rest being schooners and most of them
coasters. This spectacle is very significant
of the meaning of The word coaster. These
small treight-ladden schooners are very
much afraid of rough weather. They dodge
along the coast, as mouse does along a
room. only leaving place of safety when
the coast is clear. About fifteen came in
yesterday and over sixty the day before.
and the rest have been storm-bound for
three days.
From the Promenade it is easy to count
over sixty of these coasters laden with
lumber
heavy blow in the harbor could not fail to
make them foul each other. 1t has been
thirty years since there was SO large a fleet.

A TRIBUTE TO PORTLAND.
She is One Of the Most Beautiful and
Progressive Cities in the Nation

So Said Judge Walton in the Supreme
Court Room Yesterday-Appreciativ
Words from High Source.
In the Supreme court yesterday, in the
case against the city for land damages, in
his charge to the jury, Judge Walton paid a
high tribute to the city of Portland. sHe
said that it seemed to him that Portland is
the most charming city in the country, he
had almost said of the world. and it is a
wide awake and progressive city. He said
that the City building, itself, was proof OF
this, and cited the help afforded to the rail
roads that centre here as still more con-
viIcing evidence that Portland is progress
sive. in that case, he said in other in
stances, the city has gone, perhaps, beyond
it's means in its desire to help forward these
great interests. Streets have been laid out,
and the city has paid the bills, but at the
same time it has given to the owners of the
land taken, many advantages they could
not have otherwise received. Judge Walton
said he doubted if there is more progress
siye city in the country, or one that gives
more to its citizens. Even when it takes
land for streets, a municipality like Port
land does not acquire the title, but only the
right to the use of the property, by the
owner of the land in all respects. as much
as any other citizen, and in many respects
much more than any other citizen. for he
can put pipes under it. he can display mer-
chandise in front of his place, he can allow
his buildings to project over if he builds
close up to the street, in short he can still
do anything he likes with the very land for
which he has been paid, except such acts as
