The British ship Earlscourt, which ar
rived at Queenstown June 18th from this
city reports having sighted on May
an abandoned ship, which had been on

The steamer lone came up on the
night of July under command of Cap
tain Hosford, with a@scow load of wood
in tow for Crown Paper mills. The scow
was leaking badly and was left standing
over night tied to the bank. By morn
ing the scow was sunk in the bottom OF
the river, and about 100 cords of wood
floated down the stream. There will be
very little Of the wood lost, as most OF
1t that foated away can be recovered

Fishing was fairly good yesterday on
the lower river, the boats averaging
from four to five salmon apiece. Mr..
Harry Mallett, who came down yesterday
from the Cascades, verifies the reports
of the Astorians correspondents at that
place, and says that his employers, the
Buckheit Pkg. Co., are making a very
slight pack, with an extraordinarily small
catch of bluebacks. Some of Warren's
gear is still fishing, but the returns from
his wheels hardly pay running expenses.

by people along the water front in the
operations of the w. s. Ladd along the
channel in the vicinity of the Sylvia de
Grace wreck. She has for some weeks
been removing several hundred tons of
sand every day. and is both widening and
deepening the main watercourss. 1t will
take the surveyors on the Lincoln two
days next week to ascertain how much
headway has been made, and 1t is ex-
pected that the report will show that the |
channel has been greatly and permanent
ly benefited.
