The new pump was tried and worked perfectly.. After is was installed the dredge left up the river for No. 2 beacon, where she Is en gaged in deepening the channel. According to the atatement of one of the offloers of the Ladd, excellent prog ram has been made fn the channel In the vicinity of No. 2 beacon. When the dredg aUrted work there the channel was but 18 feet In depth at low water. Now the depth Is 22 feet. Th efforts of the Ladd are being directed towards widening the ch itmcl, and she will be outraged there for about a month to cume. At the last meeting of the Astoria Chamber of Commerce the statement was made' by a member that the Ladd had br-n doing some work below the city. A reporter yesterday investigated the matter and leurned that the Ladd lind done no work whatever below A loita. (She has been constantly en gaged In the upper channel. It uas rellablystated yesterday that there was no fund for Improvement of the ihniiiiiM from AntorU to the sea. .lust what t4 happened to the appro priation for Improvement of the chan nel below this city, if there was ever any fund for the work. Is a mystery. The channel requires deepening, and If '.here Is no fund congress will be asked to provide one. There will be a special session In Novemlier and It Is probable the Chamber of Commerce of this city will ask the Oregon detention to take up the matter at that time. Meantime, the Chamber of Commerce has communicated with Major Lang flit, through Its committee on commerce and navigation, to determine the exact Kill tun of affair, and a reply to Judge ltowlliy's letter is anxiously awaited. THINKS HE'S VERY SICK. Dr. f.'urle has a pretty hard customer under survtMlience over at the quaran tine station.

' THE MA HONEY MAKES PORT. The American four-masted schooner Andy Mahoney arrived fn port yester day from SanU Rosalia, after a long passage. Fear had been entertained for the safety of this vessel, which had liecn tokn by the trans-Pacific liner aellc. The Mahoney was short of provisions at "that time and the fiaelic provided her with a supply of fresh meat, etc. Captain Anderson reported that his fool supply ha! held out nicely and all the members of the crew, as well as Mrs. Anderson and tier two children, are all In excellent health. The schooner brings 475 tons of salt for a Portland firm. TROL'BLE AWAITS AMAZON. Trouble awaits the American barken tlne Amason, due at one of the coast port from Honolulu.' The master of the vessel sneaked to sea without ob taining the requisite bill of health, and the fact was cabled to the department at Washington. The quarantine officers of the several ports. Including Dr. Earle. have been notified to quarantine the Amazon on her arrival. It is re ported ahat she departed for Port Townfioriti, but 'her arrival here is ex pected, MARINE NOTES.

It Is the cannon taken from the Sylvia de Oraase when she went down near Tongue Point 50 years ago. The old piece Is stored away on the wharf at the foot of Elev enth street. It Is the same gun that was loaded to fire a salute for Generals Grant and Sherman when they arrived In Astoria. General Sherman, looking at the old relic, remarked: Don't touch It off while we are here. It's honey combed and Is liable to kill some of you." The old piece has been used, however, on several occasions since. At a meeting of Cushlng Post. No. 14, last week. C. S. Wright proposed that the post get possession of the gun, mount It In the 'Bay View (?) cemetery, re centy acquired by the G. A. R. organi sation from the city. The old piece, pioperly mounted and painted, with some cannon balls, members of the post think, would be a very suitable and utirntftcant adornment to their j burying ground. BATH ARE BEING INSTALLED. The work of Installing baths at the various engine .nouses was commences yesterday. . The baths will be put In so that hot water may be obtainable dur ing the winter months for use In bath ing the horses after runs to fires.

For some time past the Portland Journal has been agitating for haste In Improvement of the Columbia river bar. It baa charged that there ha been unnecessary delay In the Jetty work, and that thjj work now being done Is not up to the standard required for a permanent Improvement. It ajso charges that the rock being furnished by the Northwestern Construction Co., of this city, is of Inferior quality and size. The Journal quotes 'some one as saying: , ( "I "will' tell you how it is with that jetty. No progress Is being made at all, and none will be until different rock la used. Any work with that rock Is simply a piece of inexcusable extrav agance. It Is like tossing so many peb ble nto the ocean. They are far too i small and most of them drift out with the tide. Others sink into the sand and j that is the last of them. "In the rock quarry at Fisher's Land ing the finest rock in the country could have been procured, but the agents of the government thought they would In vest In a cheaper variety. Is time they will see their mistake, but not until they have squandered a good portion of the appropriation." T. H. Curtis, president of the North west Construction Company, was seen yesterday by an Astorian man and asked as to the truth of the statement that the rock was of inferior quality and sl.-e. He said: "The statement la ridiculous. A day or two ago Mr.H-3gardt.-the engineer in charge of the Jetty work, came to me to aik what class of chain I uted in handling the rock. The chains used at the Jetty bad been broken, on account of the sle of the rock. The engineers warn rock of various sixes and we are furnishing Just what they need. We are sending many trains through to the Jetty every day, and any one can Judge for himself whether or not the rock is small. "We expect to commence operations at the Bugby quarry within a few days and will then be able to handle a much greater quantity of rock dally. At the present time we are sending down from 1000 to 1200 tons every day. Five hundred meav are engaged ia tke work." It will be recalled that a Portland firm presented a bid for furnishing rock for the Jetty, but the price asked was very much in excess of that asked by the local company. Among those in terested in the Fisher's Landing quarry are A. L. Mills and other men who are stockholders In the Journal Publishing Company. . - The government engineers are very well satisfied with the quality and qunnMty of rock now being furnished, nnd the efforts making In Portland to "knock" the Astoria company will fall flat at 'Washington. LUCKY THIRTEEN. It may have been mere accident, or a Jf.ke by the treasury department or a purpose to signify the 13 original states. hut at anv rate the "two-bit" piece or quarter dollar Is generously hoo-dooei with the number "13." In the first place the name quarter dollar has Just 13 letters in it. On the reverse side the sprig of myrtle over the head has 11 leaves. There are 13 stars, 13 arrow heads, 13 letters in E Plurlbus Unum and 13 bars on the shield. There are 13 noticeable features in the coin-the four phrases, "In God w trust" "United States Of America, "Liberty" and "quarter dollar;" three sprigs of myrtle, the head and date, the e-airles the stars, the scroll and the date of mintage these give you the unlucky number again.
