Harbor Notes
The arrival of seven vessels heavily
loaded with lumber this morning and
three yesterday gave the men employer
on the wharves plenty of work today
which will last for sometime. AS a large
number of ships are on the way and
many loading for this port no trouble is
among the longshoremen for some time.
The steamer G. c. Lindauer. Capt
Adler, is in port the first time in long
time. Since the earthquake there have
been many changes in the running of
vessels along the coast and several have
arrived here which never came into this
port before Changes among shipping
masters have also been common.
Steamer Coquille River, Capt. Schalin-
sky, from Tillamook, arrived in port last
night with seven hundred thousand feet
of lumber
Large catches of fish are reported for
this morning at the docks. Capt. Jerry
Shively of the Jessie c. came In with 1000
pounds of rock cod. caught off the shores
per pound There were several other
large haus.

SCOTCH sUPERsTITIoNs.
Curious Methods That Were Adopted
In Sickness and Death.

A method much In vogue In Scot
land at one time Of ascertaining
whether a sickness would prove fatal
was to dig two holes in the ground,
one called the quick grave, the other
the dead hole. The sufferer was then
placed between the two, and the hole
toward which lie turned indicated
what would be the outcome OF his
malady. Sometimes a piece Of rock
was broken over the head Of a person
whose last agonies were painful alike
to himself and to those who witnessed
them. 1t was believed that the heart
Of the sick man would thus be brok-
en- and his release fastened. Win
dows and doors were always thrown
wide open in order that the depart
ing spirit may have free egress from
the house and escape from the evil
ones that hover around eager to in
thrall his soul.
During the interval between death
and burial hens and cats were kept
carefully shut up. A person meeting
these animals at such a juncture was
doomed to blindness in the future.
Moreover, unless a stream divided the
two houses, farmers frequently re-
Trained from yoking their oxen or
horses before the body was ''lail IN
der the turf Of truth" Many women
preserved, with the greatest rever-
ence, their bridal attire to cover them
in the coffin. Bread and water were
placed in the chamber Of death, for
during the night prior to the burial
the spirit of the departed one came
to partake of them. Stillborn chill
dren and little ones who had not been
blessed by the minister were buried
before sunrise. In this way their ad-
mission into the land Of promise was
assured. Not to observe the practice
was to destine the souls of these
BARNS to wander homeless and dis
consulate.
The fate of the suicide Is lament
able. His body cannot rest In the
kirkyard, for it would taint the souls
of those who lie therein. Frequently
he was buried in a lone dixie which
separated two lairds' estates, and
passersby were expected to cast q
pebble at the rude stone which
marked the place.

who were not already iii assisted at
the simple obsequies, but one Of them
stood off and protested. Between sobs
he demonstrated with those who were
digging the grave. "He said he wanted
to be buried in the river. Don't you
think you ought to respect a dying
mans last wish?" Then he added: IF
1 die on the way want you to promise
not to bury me. I'll stick to the river as
long as l live, and when I am dead
want it for my grave"
At Jackson Point the steamer land
ed again, and, despite his recent pro-
test, Sam Bowen was buried in the
sand. Before the willows had grown
over the two sunken graves a reef was
deposited above and the current di-
rected against those two islands. In
less than two years Will Cribbin and
Sam Bowen had found the desired
resting place in the bosom Of the riv-
er.-New York Sun.

UNCLE SAM SPENDING MILLIONS
Great improvements Under Way or
Planned For Washington.

Great improvements Under Way or
Planned For Washington.
More than $50,000,00O is now be-
ing spent upon buildings and bridges
Of a public character In and around
Washington, and when work already
undertaken Is completed Washington
will be without peer as a city of
architectural beauty. In addition to
the projects amounting to more than
$50, 100000 now decided upon and
under way, Improvements costing an
additional $20,000,000 are projected.
These improvements cover a wide
stretch of territory extending from
the Soldiers Home on the north to
the arsenal peninsula on the south
and from Rocky Creek gorge on the
branch.
When the senate and house Office
buildings are completed the plaza
east of the capitol will be almost
surrounded on its four sides by one
Of the most magnificent groups of
public structures in the world. The
north and south sides of this plaza
will be bounded respectively by the
senate and house Office buildings.
which together are to cost $1,000
900. The west will be bounded by
the imposing structure Of the capi-
tol, the east front Of which is to be
extended in marble at cost Of ST.
$4,000. The eastern side will be
partially bounded by the library of
congress building, which has cost
the government $6,920,000. The
other blocks of ground east of the
capitol plaza and just north of the
library OF congress will ultimately
be occupied by splendid structure
for the supreme court of the United
States.
The capitol and its proposed ex-
tension, the senate and house Office
buildings and the library of congress
will represent an expenditure by the
government of $32,321,S40, and this
will make these structures the most
costly frame In the world for so small
a rectangle of foliage and grass.
Not far from this splendid series
of buildings will be the new union
railroad depot, which will front the
plaza from Delaware avenue on the
north, at cost of $4,000, 900,
with its approaches, making the five
structures in this vicinity cost up
ward of $45, 900.
The improvements under way have
involved the throwing Of two steel
bridges across the Potomac river, an
other across the eastern branch, the
boring of a large railroad tunnel un-
der capitol hill to give trains d.
rect approach to the new station
from the trunk lines Of the south,
the bridging Of Rock creek with the
largest single cement structure In
the world, the construction of tun-
mel to connect the tunnel with the
new senate and house Office build
ings, the erection Of a war college
for the army, extensive improve
ments at the navy yard and the
Soldiers Home and the erection Of a
number of important university
structures Sun.

AUTO VS.. ARMY MULES.
Important Tests Being Made at Mt.
Gretna Maneuver Camp.

Acting under instructions from the
War Department. Gen. Frederick d.
Grant, who will command the concen-
tration camp Of the regular army at
Mount Gretna, Pa, this summer, will
make a thorough test of the automo-
bile, the object being to determine
whether or not the time has arrived
for propelled vehicles for those now
in use in the army, drawn by horses
and mules. In order to determine
this important question the govern
ment has purchased a number of au-
tomobiles, some Of them Of heavy
truck type. several electric ambulan-
ces and a touring car, the latter to
be used by the commanding o6icer
in the field.
General Grant said yesterday that
the automobile trucks were already
being tested, the troops from Fort
Ethan Allen, VT, and those from
Plattsburg Barracks, who are now on
the way march being accompanied by
several of the big motor-driven vehi-
cles. The trucks are loaded exactly
as are the animal driven wagons, and
on the outcome, to a great extent, will
depend the fate Of the famous army
mule.
Gen. Grant is not at all certain that
the test of the auto truck will prove
entirely satisfactory at Mount Gretna,
owing to the mountainous character
Of the country there. When 1t comes
to pulling heavy wagons up noun
tain sides, he is inclined to think that,
in fair test, the mule will win out
against the automobile contrivance.
The automobile ambulance will also
be thoroughly tested at Mount Gret-
ma, the War Department having order
ed several Of the vehicles sent there.
This vehicle, army officers think, will
prove very useful, and there seems
| little doubt that the electric ambu-
lance is destined to become fixture
In the regular army, both In peace
camps and on the field In time Of
war.
The other type of auto to be tested
Is touring car, in which Gen. Grant
will go over the fields covered in the
maneuvers. This experiment Is also
looked on favorably.
Gen. Grant will leave for Mount
Gretna this week, arriving there
about next Thursday which will be a
day or two ahead Of the regulars.
He goes on ahead in order to famil-
iarize himself with the country, and
also to make an early inspection Of
the work that has been going on
for several days, preparing the camps
for the troops.

treated them kindly and permitted
them to remain.
The American loss was, in killed
four; and twenty-three wounded. The
British loss was much greater. OF six
ty cavalry, twenty-eigh were left dead
on the field and seven Tories. The
number of British wounded was never
accurately ascertained.
AS the men fought hand to hand.
most Of the wounds were inflicted with
swords. Col. Clarke was slightly
wounded on the neck. The battle OF
Cedar Springs was fought on the
morning of the first Of August, and
except the snack of milk and potatoes
received at the house of Captain Dill
lard the men had eaten nothing since
the evening of the 30th Of July. The
horses had neither been unsaddled nor
fed.
