Attempt to Raise the Andalena

The Neptune Salvage Co., OF Seattle,
are making preparations for an at.
tempt to raise the Andalena, the iron
ship which went down in Tacoma
harbor, in January. 1899, With all on
board. The Inflated vessel being DIES.
titute OF ballast was guyed with logs
on either side, but these proved all
inadequate protection from the terri
bic sOu'wester which swept over the
bay and caused her to turn over and
sink almost without notice and surely
without sufficient warning to enable
her crew to escape.
The vessel lies in $50 feet of water.
A diver by the name OF VIM. Baldwin
lost his life just after the disaster, in
an effort to reach the vessel.
The attempt will be made in huge
diving bell, capable of holding several
persons, operated somewhat like the
caisons used in marine structure
building. The divers work on the
outside, however, instead OF inside,
peering through windows resembling
the headlights OF ships, only smaller.
Just below the windows two long rods
OF steel project, which may be moved
in all directions and to which are at
tached the tools with which the divers
work is done. An ordinary telephone
affords constant intercourse with those
at the surface, who supply the air cur
rent and obey such orders as are given
from below. The invention is said to
resemble an upright logging or marine
boiler, weighs about six tons, and will
be operated by its inventor, Worden
G. Smith, of Milwaukee, Wis.
Despite the great weight OF the cage,
it would be kept afloat from the con-
fined air within, and has q weight OF
metal attached to the bottom, which
serves as safety precaution, for should
it become detached from the cable,
the weight can be released and the
buoyant cage would Immediately rise
to the surface.
1t is thought that the ship if raised
will not be materially injured by her
five years bath, as iron or steel does
not rust badly if continuously i'm.
mersed.

COMBINATION LOCK FOR UMBRELLAS.
"A combination lock has been in.
vented which is intended to prevent
the misappropriation of umbrellas.
1t is device to encase the spring latch
of an umbrella, to prevent its being
opened by an unauthorized person.
The lock is so arranged as to be oper.
ated in the dark, the proper operation
being recognized by a system of clicks
produced when the lock is being oper-
ated by turning the casing too and
fro. As usual in the arrangement OF
" combination" locks, when all the
slots are in alignment the ward will
pass through, allowing the sleeve to
rise and the umbrella to open. 1t is
thought that this device will afford
much protection from emergency
umbrella stealers.

A Delusive Bait.

1t is a matter Of regret that the
managers OF the steamer Multnomah
should have deemed it advisable to
cut rates OF passage and thus bring
the large stores of Seattle and Ia
coma in more direct competition with
our local merchants. The very day
the reduction was announced PROBES
sinnal bargain hunters began to pr ic k
up their ears and strain their eyes for
opportunities to get something for less
than its value.
The object Of this reduction is Ger
tainly no different from all such de.
vices, to run Off competition and then
reestablish the old rate, which was
doubtless reasonable from the fact
that the old line has maintained it SO
long. 1t will scarcely be admitted by
them that they have charged more
than legitimate fare.
The Greyhound is an Olympia in
stitution, owned by enterprising citi-
zens, who have as good right to nav.
igate Gods great highway as they
have to breathe the same pure air of
heaven. The claim that the pur.
chasers will be benefited is delusive,
for when it is taken into considera-
ton that "bargain.counter" trips
always involve many incidental ex-
penses, small in amount but generally
wiping out the margin of profit. and
that every dollar spent abroad is lost
to our community, probably forever,
the folly of going abroad to purchase
supplies is apparent.
That it is always advisable to pat
ronize home trade is acknowledged by
many who have bit at the Sears
Roebuck and Montgomery Ward prop.
ositions for cheapness. Either the
goods were inferior. or from some
other cause did not suit, or the trans.
portation rates were too high, or some.
thing else was wrong, to detract from
the pleasure of buying or owning such
possessions, and we have known even
those who have returned from picnic
excursions to Point Defiance to admit
that they had been egregiously swim
died by purchases made hurriedly and
from irresponsible statesmen, and in
some instances they have found that
their purchases could be duplicated
here at less cost.
It would be we'll for our people to
look leetle oudt" on this matter be-
fore they are carried away by delusive
promises.

The Oregon Democrats.

While the city newspapers very gen
orally herald the action OF the Oregon
State Democratic Convention as a Sc
we're blow to Candidate Hearst's aspr.
atoms. a careful reading Of the report
published 10y the Oregonian, which is
surely not inclined to his favor, shows
that the expression of l5l TO ll5 is
more the sentiment against any in
structions than OF opposition to Mr..
Hearst. The adoption of resolution
endorsing him as q valiant defender Of
public interests, shows this as we'll as
the attitude OF Gov. Chamberlain, and
it is alleged OF some other delegates to
the National Convention, which is that
OF impartial neutrality.
1t is quite probable that the interests
OF the California candidate, as mos,
Pacific Coasters persist in calling him,
were somewhat jeopardized by the in
temperate demands of rustlers from
that State who attempted to control
party which had hither to been under
management OF recognized home lead
ers. There is always feeling Of re-
sentiment aroused when outside inter.
ference becomes too dominant. 1t is
claimed that rs per cent. OF Oregon
Democrats favor Hearst, and that
the leaders played their cards SIM
ply Tor an unpledged delegation as
the only way Of taking enough tricks
to count game and defeating a resolu.
ton which might have carried had the
opposition sought to secure pledge
for any other man.
The Oregonian report states as fact
that had these emissaries from abroad
consented to insert the word request"
for instruct" the resolution would
have passed the convention. There
would have been little objection, it
claims, to have entered upon the min.
utes OF the convention request for Ma.
tional delegates to support Hearst, and
il seems at this distance, that request
would have carried as much weight as
positive instructions, for it is not ex-
pected that the latter are binding be-
yond certain limitations. In an at.
tempt to override the wishes Of the
party leaders, it came to . test OF
strength on proposition,which was re.
garded as being in the nature OF com.
promise, to do nothing in the way Of
instruction, and this has artfully been
made to carry the impression Of defeat
by papers that have no use for Mr..
Hearst for many reasons.
The Convention placed in nomina.
ton strong State ticket, as follows ::
Supreme Judge, Thomas O'Day, OF
Multnomah; Congressmen, Robt. NJ.
Veatch, from First District, and J. E.
Simmons, Second; Presidential Elec.

ty; T. H. Crawford, of Union; w. b.
Diller. of Columbia, and J. H. Smith,
of Clatsop. A full legislative and Judi.
cial ticket was named, and . platform
with the true Jeffersonian tone was
adopted.

 To File Protest
ATTORNEY SHELLY LEFT LAST NIGHT TO FILE BISBEE'S PROTEST AGAINST DOM
 PAUL PATENT,

Last night Attorney Shelly left for Tucson to file the protest of the city and some of the private property own CTS against the granting of the Dom Paul mining claim patent.
 Lem Overlook is the man in whose name the city is filing it's protest, the protest being signed by Mayor Taylor and L. c. Overlook.
 Attorney O'Connell will file another protest in the name of the rest of the property holders who are occupying ground on this so-called mining claim Both protests cover the same ground but it was considered the best policy by the attorneys to file the two pro tests. In case these protests are moi successful in stopping tiSe granting o the patent the property owners will resort to adverse claims, and over twenty-five adverses will be filed.
