C P. Looney, who deals In and sella
the large majority of sewing machines
in Clatsop county, dug up an Interest
Ing relic In the way of a Singer Inatru
raent at 8t. Helens yesterday. The
Singer machines now being sold are
numbered in advance of the sixteen
mil loin mark.. The Instrument found
by Mr. Looney numbers 23J.391. In
speaking of this mechanism of the
olden day, Mr. Looney said: "Strange
as It may seem, this contrivance works
as smoothly as a top and sews well,
although surely It must be one of Isaac
Merrltt Slngers's output sometime
antedating the rebellion. Mr. 8lngers
first Instrument was placed on the
market In 1SJ1. He devoted himself
with Immense energy to pushing what'
was then an Infant Industry In this
direction. The foundation of the sew
ing machine, however, was laid by the
Invention ot a double-pointed needle,
with tho era in the center, patented
by Chas. F. Welsenthal in 175. The
St. Helens sewing machine was the
property of R. H. Mitchell, editor and
proprietor of the St Helens News. It
is a novelty and will no doubt be re
tained by Mr. Looney as a souvenir of
his business.
Several wagers were laid on the
time in which some of the vessels
carrying the salmon pack from frlatol
bay, Alaska, could reach their desti
nation. The Harry Morse, which left
the Nuahagak river loaded with the
pack ot the Alask Packing Company
got away on August 11. Superintend
ent Carlson bet that the Morse would
not reach Astoria before August SL
The Morse was out 21 days yesterday
and Mr. Carlson wins his bet The
Gardiner City, which left the same
place on August 2L made a quick trip,
as she arrived at San Francisco Thurs
day last. She is loaded with a cargo
o' .slt salmon. The schooner Bartlett,
belonging to the Pacific. Coast Steam
Whaling Company, loaded with the
season's pack, also made a quick trip.
She left Nushagak river on the 7th
and reached San Francisco Wednesday
last Mr. Carlson made a bet with
Purser Hall of the Bartlett that that
ship would not reach her destination
inside of 20 days. The bet was won by
Mr. Carlson with several days to spare.
The Morse may be expected off the riv
er any day. On her arrival here Sup
erintendent Carlson will be wheeled In
a wheelbarrow by Ole B. Oleson, the
loser of the bet, from his residence on
Duane street to the Iatter's residence
In East Astoria.

John J. McDertnott Brat assistant
engineer ot the steamer Harrison, and
a man named Hunter, who serves aa a
fireman on the same vessel, engaged
In an altercation In front ot Foster's
Exchange on Commercial street yester
day, which resulted In Hunter getting
his Jaw cracked and his face pummel
led until he yelled lustily for help. The
fight attracted the usual crowd who
Jeered the combatants until friends
came to the rescue. Later In the day,
McDertnott stood on the dock In prox
imity to the Harrison when he alleges
that his superior officer In the person
of Chief Engineer Furchen, approached
and without warning, struck Mm an
ugly blow which caused him to reel
and then fall sensless on the landing.
McDormott called at the Astorlan office
last nldht and narrated the circum
stances from his own point ot view.
"This man Hunter," said McDertnott,
"Is my subordinate and ordinarily a
good fellow. I Instructed him yester
day to reitialn on the boat and at
tend to his duties. He refused, but to
palliate the mutiny. Invited me down to
have a drink. This Is something an
old salt never refuses, and naturally
I accompanied him. We began anew
our discussion of differences over tho
beverage, and the termination was a
broil. But why the chief engineer
should Jump on to me Is a conundrum.
I can only account for It through his
having formerly roomed at Hunter's
house. I am now In search of a lawyer
and propose to give both of them
trouble. Moreover, I am going to have
the Harrison stopped before she clears
the bar. She baa aboard all of my
clothes even to my coat and will be ab
sent fully three weeks and maybe long
er. However, It Isn't the clothes that
prompt me to stop the vessel. Its the
fact that she has started out minus a
first engineer and this Is In violation ot
the navigation laws."
