steamer disengaged in British Colum-

to carry wheat from Vancouver to
Mexico. There is no idle American ton

has cleared up all the idle tonnage
Owing to wheat famine Mexico has re-

good profit in shipping it from the

Steamer Beaver Arrives at Astoria
Especial Dispatch TO The Call
ASTORIA, April 2s.-The steamer
Beaver of the Columbia rivers San
62 days from New York, with full
cargo of freight.
AS it steamed up the bay it was ac-
corded a noisy welcome by. the sound
OF whistles on the steamers lying in the
harbor. Captain William Kidston, mas
ter of the Beaver, reports an unevent-
full trip and says pleasant weather was
encountered during the entire passage,
even while rounding the horn.
Two stops We're made for coal, one
at Montevideo and the other at Coro-
mel The run could have been made in
much better time. but no attempt was
made to crowd the vessel, as it was
heavily laden, and as it is destined for
an oil burner it had not the bunker
capacity to carry sufficient coal for a
fast run Even at the speed maintained
it was necessary to replenish the coal
supply twice on the journey.
The Beaver is without question the
finest passenger vessel that ever en-
tered this port, and it's equipment and
furnishings are modern in every par
ticular.
The Beaver is commanded by Captain
William Kidston, formerly of the
steamer Kansas City, and Robert S.
Paul, formerly Of the Kansas City also,
is in charge of the engine room. 1t
carries crew of 60, all told, but this
number will be increased when it goes
into the passenger service. 1t is now
fitted for burning coal, but it is under
stood that upon arrival at San Fran
cisco, on its first trip, it will be changed
to an oil burner. Every one aboard
arrived in the best of health. excepting
Captain Kidston, who is suffering from
severe attack of the grip, though he
is able to attend to his official duties.
