ALONG THE WATER FRONT.
The pilot schooner San Jose will pro-
coed to sea at the end Of the present
month.
A thick fog and smoky atmosphere hung
over the mouth of the river all day yes
terday.
The schooner Hueneme, lumber laden,
for Redondo, came down the river from
Portland yesterday. She will leave out
today.
The steamer State of California came
in at II o'clock yesterday morning from
San Francisco, and left up the river for
Portland at noon. She had very few pas
sengers aboard.
The spreader of the Lady Madge was
broken yesterday and will have to be
repaired before she can be put on a trial
run. The owner of the yacht was busily
engaged rigging her up all day.
The tug boat Gen. Wright, finished the
work of surveying the bar and bay of
this port, that was ordered by the engin-
eers, who recently met here, and left for
Coos Bay. The survey has developed
many useful facts heretofore undiscover-
ed, that will be of much benefit to the
future development of this place.-Record
The new marine hospital at Port Town
send, the building OF which was begun
shortly after the old one was destroyed
by fire, is now nearly completed The.new
institution will be fitted with every
convenience and finished in substantial
manner. 1t is expected that the building
will he ready for occupancy within the
ensuing 30 days.
The steamer tSate of California, which
arrived yesterday from Portland and AS
cora, says the Chronicle, had her first
assitant engineer in charge of her en-
gines. Chief Engineer Kress came down
from Portland overland to attend the fu-
neral of his son. The latter was. only
19 years old and died from appendicitis.
He was very well known here and highly
esteemed.
The American barkentine Cleaner is out
81 days from the nitrate ports bound for
San Francisco. The average voyage is
about 65 days, and the coasting vessels
surely provide for a longer passage. While
no fears are expressed for the Cleaners
safety, seafaring men are of the opinion
that the crew will be kept on very short
rations, if not actually starved, unless
some good Samaritan ship bears down on
them.
Not since 1888, SO the pioneers say, has
so much smoke hung over the city as at
the present time. 1t has darkened the
sky for week, has interfered somewhat
with navigation on the Sound and has
teen an annoyance to every one. Forest
fires in the mountains and along the
Sound, as usual, are the cause of much
smoke. westerly wind springing up last
evening indicated that the smoke is not
to prevail much longer.-Ledger
Captain Lawrence is especially proud OF
the boys at the Long Beach life saving |
station, and we all are for that matter
says the South Bend Herald, for they
observe most excellent discipline, and are
prize winners in action. Last week the |
United tSateS inspector Of the service |
stayed over night ait the station, and,
after all but those on duty were sound |
asleep, he rang a fire alarm to see how
the boys would respond. They were out,
and had the water pouring on the roof
of the station house in two and one-half |
The West Coast Trade makes the fol-
lowing comment on the possibility of |
log RATS being foated from Puget Sound.
1.-THE big log raft reached San Francisco
in safety, which means, Of course, that
the experiment win be repeated probably
next season, and it is announced that
Puget Sound will be the point Of opera
tions. The logs cut on Puget Sound
should be cut by our own milling con-
Germs, and shipped out as lumber or fin
ished products, not towed out in great
RATS, to stand as a menace to the ship !
ping along the coast under most favora-
BILE circumstances, and standing chance |
of sending valuable property and human
lives to the bottom Of the ocean, in order
that the Southern Pacific or some other
corporation may save a few dollars In
freight for vessels. The experiment Is
not looked upon with favor either by mill
men OF the. shipping interer.s."
Through a misunderstanding OF signals
the steamer Homer is on the beach near
Coos Bay, with wide hole in her side.
She was bound out Of TIE bay with a
cargo Of coal for Spreckles, OF San Fran
cisco, and was passing Marshfeld when
the Arago, a steel steamer operated by
the Pacific Coast Steamship Company
came in sight, headed up the bay. The
vessels exchanged signals to pass accord
ing to the code, but there seems to have
been some misunderstanding, and the two
steamers came together. Captain Reed,
