pas
Captain AhTln scented trouble early
in the morning and as every accom
modation had been sold, he was wary
lest more get aboard than his license
called for. In which event he would
have h.td an uncomfortable session
with Vncle Sam's officials. Before the
Camlno left the iock a careful search
was mnde for ctowaways without sue
cess. Another was to be male on the
way down stream, so any caught would
be put ashore at Astoria. All steamers
leaving fur the south have the same
conditions to contend with, though It
rosts but IS for a steerage ticket. In
the way of cargo the Camlno had 1150
tons of grain. 1710 cases of canned
goods. 319 barrels of cherries. 100 tons
of merchandise 7S.000 feet of lumber
and a moving-picture machine, the
latter being consigned to Callao, Chile.

He says officers of the ship were
given quarters aboard the gunboat

established at first, the men were also

Rock Being Made to
Beat Material Possible
for Construction.
BAY- CITY, Or, Dec. 20. (Special.)
Gieblsch & Joplin. contractors for the
Tillamook jetty, have leased the Hicks
cud at Bar View and located a crew
of men there for the purpose of making
tests of the rock In this section to
ascertain the best material to be used
in the jetty work. This ' Is the first
move toward actual construction work
on the improvement of the entrance to
Tillamook Bay and affords a great deal
of satisfaction to those who have been
watching for the work to start.
Tests are being made of the sand
rock found near the beach a short dis
tance from Bar View and a large crew
of men are . working on the Watt
quarry, near the shore end of the pro
posed Jetty. .The rock In the Watt
Quarry is of the highest grade to be
found In this section and there Is good
prospect of It being used. It is pro
nounced unexcelled and the only trouble
found with it so far is its excessive
hardness.
Bv securing rock from this quarry,
the contractors can construct their own
railroad from the quarry to the Jetty,
a distance, of only a few hundred feet,
and save the high cost of transporta
tion from other quarries.
Plans are being made to begin work
on the jetty as soon as tne weatner
will permit In the Spring. Camps will
be established during the Winter and
the necessary machinery and material
assembled.

NEWPORT, Or., Dec. ?0. (Special.)
The damaged barge Frederick, beyong

taken to a Portland drydock for re
pairs. The lining will be calked here
and, after being floated, the tugboat L.
Koscoe will tow it north. The bot
tom of the barge Is full of holes. The
explosives have been removed to Ya
qutna and the hay and grain dumped
Into the bay. A peculiar instance has
been -observed regarding the cattle
which walk along the beach and suck
the salt out of the seaweed. They have
suddenly come upon the wet hay and
have to, 'be driven away, as never be
fore have they come across edible sea
weed and they would eat themselves to
death.

Fall Extent of Concession Not Blade
Pnlillc, but Enlaxgred Use Is
Considered Certainty.
Subscribers to- the Home telephone
service In Portland and to other Inde
pendent systems in various commun
ities of the Northwest probably will be
able to transmit long-distance mes
sages over the wires of the Pacific
Telephone & Telegraph Company the
local branch of the Bell system ac
cording to the terms of an agreement
made by officials of the Bell Company
with the Federal officials at Washing
ton on Friday. . .
By the terms of this agreement it is
understood provision is made that this
long-distance service shall not be per
formed within a certain limited radius
of 50 or 60 miles, and that a charge of
10 cents shall be made for the con
nection. It is understood also, however, that
the service is to be interchangeable
that the Home Company will be re
quired to make a similar connection
over Its long-distance wires for Bell
subscribers and on the same terms.
This is a concession tliat subscribers
of both systems have sought for many
years, and it is believed that this is a
step toward interchange of local as
well as long-distance calls. '
Under present conditions many small
towns and communities in the North
west have the service of but one com
pany. It is Impossible to secure con
nection to places in which the other
company has the exclusive station.
This arrangement would make tele
phone service .universal wherever t
