A Dakobbocs Voy aos. The old

No stern-wheel steamer has ever made
the voyage from the Columbia river to
Ban Franoisco, and it ia considered an
extra hazardous trip, especially for so
frail a boat as tbe Urady. Many
steamers have been taken from the
Columbia river to Puget Sound suc
cessfully, but tbe trip le Ban Fran
oisco ia entirely different. The Grady
waa built 19 yeara ago and waa then
oalled "Traveler." A tew years later
she waa remodeled somewhat and her
name chanced to "City ot Frankfort."
Some three yeara ago a new hull waa
built for the old craft and her mame
changed to "H, O. Grady." She hss,
at different timea run on the Astoria
route, but was never a financial suc
cess sinoe the early days of tbe old
Traveler, and it ahe ever reachea San
Franoisco tha salt water voyage may
have purged her of the hoodoo whioh
haa followed the old hulk aU these
year.

A Loho-Fbxt Wait Supplied. A
well-known citiien, who is of philac
thropio turn of mind and ia also pos
sessed ot considerable ingenuity and
mechanical skill, and who is very fond
of shad, ia engaged in perfecting a
machine for extracting tbe bones
from shad. Tbeae fine fisb are now
plentiful in the Columbia, but oa ao-
count of tne number ot nonce tney
contain, are not so extensively used
... . a a .a
aa tbey deserve to be. Hia idea is
tbat if the bones oould ne extracted
from the ahad or the abad from the
bones, the fish could be made np into
patties or a new style of fish balls,
and, in this way, would rapidly grow
in favor, and these valuable fish be
more extensively utilised. The ma
chine, it is understood, will be some
thing in the way ot a carding ma
chine, or between that and a oax
hetcbeL The finished product will be
in great favor with persona who have
poor teeth.
