MARINE MEMORANDA OF YESTERDAY STATE OF CALIFORNIA AR RIVES IN WITH BIG BUSI NESS COLUMBINE OFF FOR COOS-OTHER DOCK NOTES. Captain Robert Jones, of the pup coaster Delia, had the Seaside resort ers all agog on Sunday afternoon, when he ran in under the lee of the big cape to escape the rigor of the northwest bree2s that was a little too much for his gallant motor boat The beach was literally swarming with people who thought she was in dis tress and rather anticipated a thrilling diversion; but they happily dis appointed, for he gave them , a look and went to sea again when he reach ed the jetty. All sorts of dismal things have been prophesied about the Delia and the fate that awaits her one of these days on the high seas, but she keeps coming and miner and makinar money ' for her owner and the hair-raising tale is yet untold. The dandy light house tender Col nmbine, Captain Charles Richardson, got underway for Coos Bay yester day morning for a 10-day cruise. She had on board Architect C. W. Leick, of the light house department, who goes to Coos to study the needs of the light house there in the way of repairs and improvement and who will devise the plans in that befialf at once upon his return; the captain's young son, Leslie, was also the guest of his father for the voyage and an ticipated lots of fun from the trip. The steamship State of California arrived in over the bar at 3:50 ve--tetdsy afternoon, with 157 passengers en board, among whom were Mr. and Mrs. Jaloff and little daughter; and Mrs. Charles H. Haddix and her famous collie "Mick," both home from a three months' outing at the old home in Texas which was enjoy ed to the utmost.

The British steamship Uford left the Hammond mill docks at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, with 1,505.000 feet of lumber, and went to Portland after 2,150,000 feet more, her capacity being for 3,200,000, and which amount she will have on board when she sails for Copenhagen, and Ham burg. She is the first steamship to carry lumber from the Columbia riv er to Copenhagen, .Denmark. The value of her Astoria cargo is about $24,000. Another huge raft from the Benson cradles came down the river yester day on the hawsers of the steamers M. F.

Style Store An Adventurous Trip Up the Nehalem River On Friday night's Seaside express. Donald Stuart, Lawrence Rogers and Stanley Young arrived home from a two weeks' hunting and fishing trip down the Nehalem river from Jewell to Nehalem City. Speaking of their trip' the boys related the following: "We left Saturday morning, July 18th, at 6 a. m. for Jewell. We drove down to Dan Ricrson's ranch, where we stayed that night. The next morn ing at noon we bought a boat from Mr. Ricrson and started for Nehalem City, some 44 miles away. The first night we camped 10 miles down the river from Mr. Rierson's farm. The rapids in the river from Mr. Rierson's farm to this place are something ter rible, but nothing like we found fur ther down. On the morning of July 20th, we once more started down the river, this time to make Cronan CriK'k which is about two miles above the Salmonberry. We were told by many people that it was a next thing to an impossibility for one to make the Salmonberry, as we would never get over the falls of the river. Well, falls or no falls, we decided to stay by our old boat until she broke to pieces. We were told by several men where the most dangerous places were, and of the little falls, big falls, canyons, and pot-holes, that the river made through the rocks. We were ..u .I... ii i.- n ;of the tact that we naa passcu it. Twilight soon approached, and being wetr tired and hungry beings, we de to camp rnai n.gni on a grave The next morning we put on the boat which by this time we had named the Good Ship Nehalem' After doing this we again started for Cronan Creek which we thought could not be very far ,After s.hootin a m,mber of rapids for a mile or more, we unex- pectedly shot into the canyon of the v. , , . . nver' wnlcn was certainly a treach erous one Jjjr nun Linn, t vv ai our wits' end to know where we were, and began for a while to lose hope, : but as our good old boat was still j solid, and" best of health prevailed among us, we journeyed on. Shoot ing some more rapids, we came to a ! place whereon was pitched a tent j ( additional cargo at the Hammond Lumj,er Company's dock, will cross jout at t)ie first avajiabe moment on ; her ong vovage. The steamship City of Panama en- itered port early yesterday morning from CoQS Bay an(, aRer a ha hours dockjng at the Q R & N Wfint Qn the metropolis. The steamer Yellowstone came down the river on Sunday morning ; early, with a big cargo of lumber for jiSan Francisco, and went to sea iwunoui aeiay. The steamer Johan Poulsen was ; among the bunaay arrivals trom tne J Bay City, and she went on up the river to load lumber for the return j;trip. . . , The schooner James A. Garfield I came down the river on Sunday ev- jening with a big load of lumber for The steamship Geo. W. Elder will arrive in from the California coast this morning, with plenty of business and people. 'The steamer Homer came in from San Francisco on Sunday and went on to the metropolis after a brief stay at the Callender dock. The Spencer came down yesterday with a good crowd of people for As toria, but no freight to speak of, and went back similarly provided. The steamer Alliance was a Sun- day arrival from Coos Bay points and) she went directly on to' Portland. 11 with three men fitting on the river bunk. Being the first human being to see in two days, .we landed, and walked up to them, and inquired a to where we were. We were told that we were at the confluence of the Salmonberry Creek and Nehalem river, and you may be ure we were surprised. "The river at this place cut three mountains and rocks of volcanic origin. At the Salmonberry we camped, where we fished and hunted. Deer are plentiful, and from the tracks we found the elk are certainly abundant. Both the, Salmonberry and Nehalem furnish one with trout of all descriptions. "Staying a week at this place, we once more broke camp, and started for Nehalem City. Everything went well until we were about two miles below the Salmonberry. Here the river runs through a large gorge, and when we were about half Way through the boat became jammed at the end of a large ledge of boulders. The water at this place rum like a mill race, giving one very poor footing. For three-quarters of an hour we chopped and broke rock with a geology hammer, and finally got the boat through. It was at this place that we almost gave up, but luck seemed to be with us. "Once more started, we met with no further mishap until the largest falls in the river were reached. Here wc came near going over without knowing what was ahead of us. Had it not been for the spray that was thrown some feet in the air, we sure ly would have gone over with disas terous results. Landing on a small island we clamored out of the boat, and pulled it around the galls, and lined it through the raging torrent until calm water was reached. Then came the little falls which have a drop of about five feet. Again we lined the boat through, and although a good deal of water was taken in, we came through safely. "From the little falls, we had clear shooting to Mr. Batterson's farm, the first farm this side of Nehalem City. We camped at this farm that night, and the next afternoon we reached Nehalem City after shooting twenty one rapids from the Batterson farm. On examining the boat in Nehalem City, it was found to be in good shape regardless of the' hard usage it had been put through. "On July 30th we started 'from Nehalem City to Seaside reaching there on the afternoon of the 31st, none the worse for our thrilling ex perience of shooting three falls, can yons, and rapids, in the Nehalem river. "In conclusion, we may say that it certainly was great sport, but advise no one to take the trip without first consulting some one who really knows the good and dangerous parts of the river." LORD DUNOREARY. The Elder Sotharn's Story of How th Part Was Written. The Theater Miipi::lne tell bow tin part of Lord Dundreary came to I created by Sothern. tin; elder.
