GONE WHERE?
What Contractor Jacobsen Said While In
Portland.

The Oregonian says: Some time since,
Messrs. II. Wakefield and William Jacob
sen, of this city, were awarded the con-
tract for completing the railroad bridge
across Young's Bay, at Astoria. Two
pile drivers and derrick scow were sent
down and the work has been going on
very satisfactorily. Last Saturday, about
1900 of the 5000 feet of pillng having been
driven, and the piling for the draw rest
about half completed. Mr.. Jacobsen
thought he would take spin to Portland
and so left on the evening boat. Yester-
day he was seen rushing up to Wake
fields Office with telegram in his hand
and, when asked how things were going
at Astoria, replied that everything had
gone to an unmentionable and uncomfort-
able place. When asked what route they
had taken to get there. he displayed the
telegram and read: Small driver cap.
sized; big driver three miles up Young's
river on beach: derrick scow damaged
some" Mr.. Wakefield was somewhat
disgusted over the affair, principally be.
cause it occurred on Sunday evening
Just when we were in church" Mr.. ia.
cobsen left last night for Astoria and
will have his fleet brought back to the
work as speedily as possible, and says
wind and water permitting, he will have
the bridge completed in time. The gale
Sunday night was quite severe here, but
at the coast 1t was a hurricane. Mr.. Ja-
cobsen concluded that it was fortunate
that the wind came from off the sea- for,
II 1t had been blowing in the opposite di-
rection, his scows would have been half
way to China by this time.

The Call has the following account of a
fight between towboat captains and San
Francisco fishermen: THE towboat cap
tains and the fishermen ere on anything
but a friendly footing Just now. The
former refuse to tow any of the fishing
craft down the river or in from sea, and
the fishermen curse them in the language
of every country that borders on the
Mediterranean The trouble lies with the
fishermen themselves, and II is only de-
sire to save life and property that makes
the tow boat captains insist ON the fishing
smacks keeping away from them. ON
Friday night last Captain Dan Haskell,
in the big tug Fearless, was coming
down from Port Costa with the British
ship oimara in tow. When off Antioch
two fishing boats attempted to hook the
tug, but the captain yelled to them to
sheer off. They failed to catch the
steamer. and a few minutes later were
under the bow Of the Olmara. One of the
boats was smashed to Kindling wood. ard
the other, which escaped. picked up the
crew. Captain Haskell stopped his yes
sci and ran the risk of getting the towing
line into his propeller in order to see
that everybody was rescued. Yesterday
Captain Dan Thompson. Of the tug Mon
arch. was towing a ship in from sea. One
OF the crab fishermen attempted to hook
the tug just as she was passing Fort
Point. He yelled to the fisherman. tell
ing him he would be swamped. but the
latter paid no attention and made the at
tempt He failed, and few minutes
later was under the bow Of the ship. In
order to rescne, him Captain Thorrpscn
had to make a half clrole aa,l than put
TO sea AGAIN before ne could set his tow
headed for San Francisco. In conse-
duence the superintendents Of both tow
boat lines have issued orders that in
future no fishing boats are to be towcd
under any circumstances.

At a recent meeting of the transconti-

Canadian Pacific differentials was taken
up, and at the conclusion Chairman Cald-
well was instructed to inform all inter-
ested lines that hereafter the transcon-
tinental roads would not participate in
differential rates, or in anything but the
regular standard rates from the territory
from which these differentials have pre-
vailed. The dlfferential rates which have
been wiped out today, have been in eff
feet for about a year, and were allowed
the Canadian Pacific from the territory
east of London, Ont The Canadian Pa
cific, which was represented at the meet
ing, made no objection to the abolishment
of the rates, claiming that it would lose
nothing if the other roads maintained the
tariffs as they have agreed to do

COULDN'T TALK TO EVERY FOOL.

A popular Chicago railroad man is re-
sponsibe for the following:
When S. S. Merrill was general manager
of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St Paul
railway he was out on the road in his car
one day, and brought up at junction
point to wait for a connection. By way
of killing time he walked down the track
land came upon an Irishman working
away with his pick on a sldetrack. 1t
was a sunny day, and Mr.. Merrill was
feeling pretty good, and by way of being
sociable he asked the Irishman what he
was doing. Pat never looked up from his
work or missed a stroke of his pick, and
simply rejoined that 1t was none of Mr..
Nerrll's business. 1t rather amused Mr..
Merrill and he told the station agent about
It, The station agent saw a chance for
some fun, and he hunted up the IRISH
man and told him who he had insulted.
He further told him that Mr.. Merrill had
telegraphed an order TO have him dis
charged. and advised the Irishman to
square himself Pet was pretty badly
cared. He hunted Mr.. Merrill up and
making a very low bow he very gravely
said:
"Mishter Merrill-sor. Whln ye wuz
taalkin' to me beyant shure OF didn't
know 1t wuz yerself sor at all. Shure
Orm sorry sor shpoke to we as OF did,
sor but ven see sor that OF can't be
htoppin' me wurrk to talk to livery dam
ool that comes along"
And Mr.. Merrill accepted the apology
and Pat has never been able to figure out
what he laughed so hard about.

The Chinese janitor in the Odd Fellows
building had time on Christmast day.
1t seems that some one of the Elks who
only drank water at the social session the
evening before, went to the faucet in
the hall to get drink, and finding the
water turned off, went back to the room
leaving the faucet open. AS is the Gus
tom, the water was turned on early in
the morning, and for hours the water
poured out in the hallway, dripping
through the ceilings of the bank rooms
below and almost running that of the
Savings Bank, besides wetting counters,
papers, and carpets. When John came
to clean up the muss frightened him and
he hurried about, mopping up the water
upstairs and down. He hung buckets to
catch the water dripping from the ceiling
but the more he mopped the more tho
water dropped through. In despair he
hunted up Mr.. Megler, and tried to ex-
plain: "Wha' malta him water, alice
