Captain Korvlk always shapes bis count to and from Tillamook Bay so that he pannes between Tillamook Rock and the mainland, thereby avoiding currents. Cm his last yoyajce he dis cerned one of the keepers standing at the base of the rock, wildly waving his hat. Having recently answered a sig nal of distress there and taken one of the keepers ashore who was suffering from asthma. Captain Ronrlk Immedi ately changed his course and got within hailing distance. From that position he saw floating lowly from the rock a pole standing uprlcht. to the top of which was fas tened a United Slates mallsack. At tached to the pole was a Ashing line, held by the man ashore, and by means of the line and current he guided the new-fangled mail carrier toward the "'The Vosburg was within 100 feet of the Kock and as the pole, with Its cargo, floated a safe distance from the big pinnacle. Captain Rorvlk ordered the engine backed, and. swinging the head of the tug toward the pole, he rang for full speed ahead and as he passed the sack one of the deck crew reached out and grabbed It. It was delivered at the Astoria postofflc. Captain Korvlk saya that the pole was weighted with Iron or other metal, so that a portion of It, was submerged, while to give It greater buoyancy short boards had been lashed around It at the water's edice. so that It easily car ried the heavy sack. While the light house tenders make trfcjs to Tillamook rock often, the men are unable to com municate with the mainland at other times, except through the consideration of the master of a small vessel that can get close to the station.

IrOCK PLANS NOT SELECTED Falling Heirs and Keed Institute Pcfor rises I IVrrlslon. Facing the question of erecting an or dinary double-deck concrete dock or adding Iwv additional stories for ware homo purposes, heirs of the Falling es taie and the executives of the Keed In stitute are undecided what plans to adopt for the Improvement of their hold ings on the waterfront between Stark and Oak streets. The subject Is expected to be disposed of early In the year, so that construction can be begun by l'u ... Iai covering the rua to be built at mark street by the city have been gathered by the engineering department and are blng worked out. but the de tails will also be delayed until next year because It Is thought that with more dependable weather the concrete will set to greater advantage and as an addi tional 915. ooo will be availahle soon, the entire -J.oiv can be utilised at the same time. The new dock built south of Stark street Is not being utilised because of tardiness In the removal of electrtc-llght-tr g poles. hl.-h al'l have to be taken out so that the roadway can be opened, which provides an outlet for teams on Stark stret that enter from the Wash-Irgton-etreet side.

An order designed to relieve mates of steam schooners from overwork while their. vessels are In port was Issued yester day by the local steamboat Inspectors. Ths order says: "Under Instructions of the supervising Inspector of steam vessels. First district, we have to di rect you that the mate who has watch on the deck of any steam schooner go ing to sea. must have the preceding watch off. whether be desires it or not. the object being to have him go on the bridge, leaving port with clear head and eyes undlmmed from fa Ugue," Hawlejr Helps Yaqulna. Bxecutivee of the Port of Toledo, who are proceeding on the accepted theory that the Government help those who help themselves on harbor im provements, are pleased by the success of Representative llawley In having In serted In the livers and harbors bill a provision for the survey of theTCq.ulna River. They expect that an appropria tion will be made later to assist In dredging, as the port will build a suc tion dredge next year and have a -clam shell to us In tbe river, while a con tract for dredging may also be let to outsiders.

PRICE ADVANCES SHARPLY Now Worth Almost as Mnch as Hon duras, Head Rice Very Few Lots Are Offering Ixiw-Grado , Tens Moving; Upward. The Government report Issued on De- camber 15 shows the crop of Japan aeed rice tn Taxaa and Louisiana to be extremely short. This Is due to the fact that last season the farmers produced a big crop, which caused low prices, while the market for Honduras or head rloe was high. The growers this year, therefore, largely .planted head rice and the result la a surplus of head and a ahortage of Japan seed rice. The result of the publication of the Gov ernment bulletin was an advance In the price of Japan rice of U to cent per pound. The market Is strong at the ad vance and vary few lota of this grade are offering. Another factor that gives stability to the market la the organization of the Rough Rica gelling Company, which controls a large proportion of the output of rough rice, especially Japan aeed. Japan aeed rice la now almost equal In price to ordinary Honduras, and In the opinion of the trade, head rice must ad vance In sympathy with the Japan sort. In any svent, a larger percentage of the trade will be thrown on Honduras or head rice. The first shipment of the Honolulu Plan tatlon Company's augars available for the trade ontaldo of fian Francisco la due to arrive here on January IL This company last year had a very short crop, due to the strike of Japaneaa laborers the year before. which caused the withdrawal of "offerlnga In August this year. The season now open ing will have a full crop and In all prob ability the oompany will have sufficient sugar to carry It to the next season. There has been a sharp advance In low grade teas of all kinds, owing to the scarcity of these gradea and the sharp demand for them. HOPS ARE SOW AT lgft CENTS. Heave y Pays This Price for Hoffman Lot ai Ml. AngeL The Oregon hop market oontlnuee steadily to advance. Yesterday 14 H cents was paid for two lots: tn one case to a grower, and In the other to a dealer. Tbe demand for old hope was also strong.

The firm has also bought In the last three days 280 bales from dealers. One of the recant Eeavey purchasers waa the H. Weaterman lot of 149 bales at North Yamhill. The Johnson Murphy crop of lot bales of Salem hops waa sold yesterday by Mo- Clallan to F. W.

There will be a 2-cent decline la the local butter market Monday morning, the new quotation on city creamery branda being S3 cent a The drop la due principally to the oversupply of Eastern butter on the local market. Home of the city creameries also have a surplus of fresh make. The market during the remainder of the Winter will de pend largely on weather conditions.
