South, Rend Journal. The Cedarbank went out yesterday noon, minus the four sailors who were taken from the ship Saturday night on a warrant charging them with larceny In a dwelling In Portland. The sailing of the Cedarbank will no doubt give the men cause for happiness even In their Jail cells. They recently served time In Portland for deserting the ship. As susual Astoria was visited with drenching rain on the opening day of Its annual regatta. So bad was the weather that only a portion of the program could be carried out.

The Tillamook Logging Company are Just finishing their third dam on Row ley creek, which Is quite an expensive affair, requiring over 20,000 feet of saw ed lumber, the big timbers, of course, blng found on the ground. The length of the dam Is 200 feet, with an 11-foot gate, and will contain a 17-foot head. The cost Is about $1,200. The company don't care no'w whether It rains much on Bewley or not. Tillamook Herald. Miss Eugonla Lent, formerly of this city, died at the Good Samaritan hos pital In Portland Sundny, from a shock resulting from an operation for abs cess. Although taken to the Institution August 11th, Miss Lent's condition was not considered of such a serious nature as to require an Immediate operation, but the day before she died It became such that an Immediate operation was necessary. The funeral will be held In Portland today. The British ship Penthesilea, which went up the river Sunday to Portland with a cargo of cement from London, had a narrow escape while en route to Port Los Ang-les. She collided with an unknown four-masted ship In 56 south and 7 west. She had her foretop mast and Jibboom carried away, but was not otherwise Injured. Tho ex tmt of the damage snsTainea by the other hlp could not be ascertained, as the night was very dark. The Pen thesilea was consigned to Balfour 4 Guthrie, and was out 1SS days. Pears' To keep the skin clean is to wash the excretions from it off; the skin takes care of itself inside, if not blocked outside. To wash it often and clean, without doing any sort of violence to it, re quires a most gentle soap, a soap with no free al kali in it. Pears', the soap that clears but not excoriates. All sort of store sell It, especially druggists; all sort of people use it. Today at 1 o'clock In Justice Brow er' court the qu'stlon concerning the prisoners taken from the Cedarbank Sunday night will be argued. Whether or not tho sailors were In the cus tody of the federal court, when taken from the ship by the constable will be settled before the men can be tried for larceny committed in Portland. The ofllcers who had charge of them on the ship have no written order from the federal Court. Bids were to have been opened In Portland last night for the dredging of the Columbia around the Hylvla de Grasse wreck. Contractors who have entered bids, have Ixx-n looking over the woik to be done. A few days ago a drill was sunk In the rock to ascer luln Us nature. The core In the drill was of soap-stone formation. One con tractor stated that the proposal does not mention the removal of the wreck. If he Is right In the .natter It may be that all bids will be rejected and a new proposal Issued. Two sailors had a fight Sunday even ing and wore arrested on the charge of being drunk and disorderly. One of them, Ed. Green, succeeded In raising the necessary cash bond, obtained his release and skipped town. The other. J. Rignell, appeared In court yesterday afternoon with a skinned face and black eye. After reading the charge to Rignell. the deputy city attorney ask ed him the usual question concerning his guilt. The felloe's face wo suffi cient evidence and the man was forced to plead guilty. Judge Nelsod gave him the usual fine, $10. When the tw-D sailors were arrested for fighting Sunday night they were not content with the result of the scrap and begged the officii who had them In charge to permit them to wrestle, ratch-ns-catch-can, In the police sta tion, so they could decide who was the better man. The officers did so. One of the fellows was thrown against the door and the noise was heard on the street Some fellow appointed himself "chief knojktjr" by telling everyone he met that there was a prixe fight In the police station, and the news spread rapidly. Chief Hallock Is Indignant be cause of this fellow's talk, and says he will appoint him to lead an anvil chorus of knockers aa soon as he can find a few more of the organisation. Laboring men are highly Indignant because of the fact that Japs are being employed on the street work. The Teamsters' Union will meet tonight In II an thorn hall and discuss the mat ter, after which they will call for a mass meeting of the several unions In the city to protest against the em ployment of these fellows on city work. There are many un-employed men In Astoria seeking work and they should be given preference In this matter. It Is reported thit Contractor Normlle has sublet the contract for grading Seventeenth street to a Japa nese contractor, and that the latter Is responsible for the act. The unions will Investigate the matter thoroughly and try to place the blame where It rightly belongs. Lee Kendall, a beggar, was arrested yesterday toon, by Officer Kimball, on a complaint of merchants on Commer cial street. When brought to the sta tion a bottle of alcohol and some mor phine pills were found In the fellow's pockets. Wh?n his case was called In police court, he plead not guilty and witnesses were sent for to testify.

Kendall clalns to have a brother on the electric line here, and relatives In Port land. Regarding the Humptullps traps suit begun at Atorrd'n, August 15, the Seattle Trade Register says: The plaintiff In the case represents some 200 fishermen, the defendants blng R. Onlroy, of the North American Fisheries Co., S. Cram, A. F. Coatts, II. S. McGowan. the Washington Pack ing Co., and Creech Bros. The suit Is directed against some 20 traps alleged to be located In what Is known ss Humptullps channel, one of the best fishing grounds on the harbor. The glllnctters claim that by the driving of plies they are prevented from following their business In the most profitable area, and that their rights being gen eral, are superior to the private rights of the trap-men to put In appliances which exclude the others from follow ing a legitimate occupation In the area so appropriated. Tbe defendants In slst that trap fishing and trap locations are aa legitimate under the taw as gill netters, and that they are clearly with In the law; that examinations by gov ernment authorities show that the lo cations are not In the channel and con sequently not obstructing navigation. That they themselves as glllnetters. have Interests In common with the plaintiffs, and that the Injury sustain ed by reason of the trap locations Is more Imaginary than real. Mr, F. I. McKenna. who was sent out by the Portland board of trade to In vestlgate the coal prospects In the Ne- halem country, passed through this city on hi way home on Friday, says the Tillamook Headlight. Mr. McKen na Is well satisfied that the coal is of a fine quality, but Is not able at present to determine the thickness of the veins and whether it would pay to work them. However, to ascertain this, he informs us that Portland capl tal will be used to sink a tunnel, and should the quantity of coal prove to be sufficient, an effort will be made to mine and ship It. He had but little time to speak of his Investigation, but from what he say of the lay of the country coal may be found In any of the country betwefn Nehalem and some miles south of this city, with Indications also of finding oil, although It may be necessary to go down below the level to find It Mr. McKenna thought It would be a good plan to find out what resources were burled In the bowels of the earth In this county, as no one appears to know, and he sug gested boring about one thousand feet. which could be done for about $2,000. Within a few days the contract of the O. R. & N. Co.. with Dodwell & Co, for the maintenance of a line of steam ers between Portland and the Orient win expire, says the Journal of Com merce of San Francisco. The company has been negotiating for steamers to take the place of those now on the line, but owing to the big demand for steamers for transport service, haa been delayed In securing vessels, so that the new line will not be ready to take up the business before October. Three steamers have already been se cured, but as they n,ill not be available In time to prevent a break In the ser vice Dodwell & Co. will operate the line for at least sixty days longer, both the Monmouthshire and the Braemar coming back again In the old line. The new steamers which will replace the old line will be HOOO-ton carriers, newly built and equlpp?d with the latest Im provements for rapid and economical handling of freight. While slightly largr than the Braemar and Mogul and other vessels of that class, they are so constructed that they will draw no more water than those vessels, and ac cordingly no delay will be experienced in getting up and down the river. NEWS ABOUT STAMPS. An Innovation In the poetal service which Is sure to be of great conven ience Is a plan lately adopted of fur nishing stamps In little books, with wax sheets between them. The gov ernment Is to charge one cent addi tional to the amount of stamps con tained therein, and it Is now estimat ed that the profit on these books will amount to $200,000 per annum. It is also estimated that the sum paid for the Private Revenue Stamps placed over the top of the bottles containing Hos tetter's Bitters very nearly equals this. The Bitters Is a reliable remedy for onstlpatton. Indigestion, dyspepsia. biliousness, liver and kidney troubles. It may be depended upon to cure stom ach disorders, having done so for the past fifty years. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS. Frank M.
