! 'JACKlES ENJOYING
SHORE LEAVE
MEN FROM THE TORPEDO
BOATS HAVING A GOOD
TIME IN A QUIET WAY.

A little boy who was eager TO see
the torpedo boats yesterday after
noon tumbled off into the water as
he was passing over the plank from
the Goldsborough to the Rowan. He
was fished out, however, none the
worse for the episode other than the
wetting. Visitors are welcome on the
little war vessels from 5 o'clock
in the afternoon; in the morning
hours the vessels are closed to visi-
tors as the men are then engaged in
cleaning up and performing other
duties on board.
The Fox and Davis, the two little
torpedo boats stationed at Portland
since the Rose Festival, are now not
expected down until Friday or per-
haps Saturday, so that the two in the
harbor will be here long enough for
all to see that wish to.
The men from the Rowen and
Goldsboro are getting all the shore
leave that is possible, and are appar
emily enjoying themselves in hn'
shape. They are having good time
but they are not evincing any desire
to paint the town red and really hav'
made an excellent impression arounC
the city streets.
The Chinese steward from th'
Rowan is the only man who ha
managed to get into any trouble, ant
the trouble that fell to him was no
of his seeking. He hastened on shor'
to greet some long lost cousins AM
old time friends among the Astori'
| Celestials and all was going wei
with him until an eagle-eyed emigra
| ton officer saw the strange China
! man and took him in tow instantly
| The steward was marvelously indig
nant; that he, a steward from one Q
| the United States naval vessels
should be taken up as suspect. TIL
officers Of the torpedo boats inter
vened and soon had the steward a
liberty again.

Of her agent there she left the Cali

it viii be necessary to fumigate her
here. This will delay the Allanton IN
Astoria until perhaps noon today,
making her lose about one full day.
The Allanton evidently made a slow
passage up from San Francisco, the
trip taking her 90 hours. She is
under charter by the Pacific Export
Lumber Company and will load
lumber at Portland for the Orient.

LAUNCH ZEPHYR ON
ILWACO run
CAPTAIN WATERS BELIEVES
THERE WILL BE AMPLE
FREIGHT AND PASSENGER
BUSINESS.

The Zephyr, little steam launch
has been placed in the passenger and
freight service between Ilwaco and
Astoria, and already has made sew
eral daily runs Captain Waters OF
Ilwaco is in command OF the
Zephyr, and he believes that an ex-
cellent business awaits his venture,
for since the Nahcotta was taken on
from the Ilwaco run there has been
a constant need of daily communica-
ton between the two places.
Captain Waters says he will soon
have larger vessel for the business,
one that will have ample seating
capacity for passengers and hold
of sufficient dimensions to take care
OF and protect the freight in bad
weather
The boat for Ilwaco will leave AS
toria every afternoon.
From several letters that have
reached Astoria it is evident that the
Roanoke had pretty rough voyage
on her way south on the last trip.
The letters complained mostly OF the
sea-sickness that prevailed among
the feminine passengers, and one OF
them also stated that one Of the
ships boats was stove in, which fact
indicates pretty bad weather.
The bar tug Astoria came into the
harbor yesterday from Gray's Har'
Dor, and this morning will take Out
the new hull that has been built by
the Leathers' Company for parties
ND the coast. The hull will be taken
to Gray's Harbor where the engines
will be installed. The Astoria 4;
known to almost every man who fol
lows the sea in these parts and many
looked her over with much interest
yesterday. The Astoria was built ii
1884 at North Bend, Ore.
There was surprising diversity II
the bids offered yesterday for the jot
Of raising the Minnie E. Kelton, the
steam schooner which lies submerged
in the lower harbor. The lowest bic
was Just one-third the amount OF tht
largest bid. The tenders were opened
in the office Of P. L. Cherry yester
day afternoon, and were as follows
Captain James McKenna, master o
the vessel, $4,000; Leander Lebeck
SS475; Willamette & Columbia Rive
Ship Lining Company, $4,000; ant
H. H. Yankwich, Of Portland, $lz,
$50. The bids are to be sent to tn
underwriters in San Francisco, prob
ably by wire, and it is probable tina
the acceptance of one Of the bid
will soon be announced.

gives some interesting glimpses OF
English social life. For instance, she
writes:
I'm 1916 no young English lady ven
tured to waltz. The Duke Of Devon
shire returned from tour In Germany
and observed one evening at a large
ball that woman was never seen to
better advantage than when waltzing.
I do not know whether he was anx-
ious to play trick, but he repeated
this assertion several times. It. was
passed from mouth to mouth, and at
the next ball all the young ladies were
waltzing. The duke admired them
greatly, said that it was delightful and
gave proper animation to ball. He
then added carelessly that he, at any
rate, had decided never to marry a
lady who waltzed. 1t was to the
Duchess Of Richmond and at Carlton
House that he saw fit to make this
revelation. The poor duchess, the most
clumsy Of matchmaking mammas. near
" fell off her chair with horror. She
repeated the statement to her neigh
bora, who passed 1t on, and consterna-
lion spread from seat to seat. The
young ladies continued to waltz with
clear consctences. The old ladies were
furious, but the unfortunate dance was
concluded Before the end Of the even
ing the good Duchess Of Richmond

tiers felt an objection to waltzing
which no persuasion Of hers could ever
overcome. Some few girls Of more In

majority gave it up"
