every part of the world and every day
valuable cargos are passing out over the
bar to foreign lands, which are depend
ing more and more on the industries in
and around Astoria. and where they will
be used in the life OF those foreign
lands. One OF the ships that cleared

+. p. Baumgartner, the Portland
agent, has been advised that the
steamer Redondo will arrive from Puget
Sound tomorrow with 1900 barrels Of
lime and 600 tons OF coal. 1t will be the
first time the craft has arrived from the
North with anything like a iull cargo,
and the company officials are very much
encouraged over the outlook. Announce

Out III days from London for Astoria
and Portland the German ship Siam
has been on the passage longer than
the most OF the -riggers which
sail from European ports for the Pacific
Coast Unless she soon arrives the ship
will be placed on the over due list. She
is bringing a general cargo, consigned
to Meyer, Wilson & Co. of Portland.
Her long passage has not caused any
particular anxiety So far, but the con-
signees would like her to put in an ap.
pearance Immediately, as her freight is
badly needed. For some reason the
most of the ships coming from Europe
this season are making unusually long
passages.
Captain A. Grove has been retained
by marine underwriters to make spe-
cial inspections of large number of
the river boats plying out of Portland
whose owners are having them insured
against fire and accidents of every
sort. Until recently only the Govern
ment inspections were deemed necessary
to satisfy the insurance companies that
the craft are in good serviceable condi-
tion. Consequently, the employment of
private inspector is looked upon as
something very much out of the ordi-
nary. According to Captain Grove, the
owners of the river boats appear to be
more in a unit than ever before Of
having their boats insured against ac-
cidents. During the past few days he
has looked over big fleet, and states
that many other small boats are await
ing his inspection. The captain is offlc-
ial surveyor for the underwriters who
