The Cedarbank went out yesterday
noon, minus the four sailors who were

time In Portland for deserting the ship.

Sunday night will be argued. Whether
or not tho sailors were In the cus

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

find a few more of the organisation.
Laboring men are highly Indignant

Teamsters' Union will meet tonight 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

Seventeenth street to a Japa

responsible for the act. The unions
will Investigate the matter thoroughly
and try to place the blame where It

Kendall clalns to have a brother on the

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.
