The dredge Laid was at the Ninth
troet pier yent-rdny to receive a new
pump. The pumps wear out In about a
year's time and a substitute pump Is
aiways aepi on hand." 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.

' 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.

A VALUABLE RELIC
When In Astoria last week in search
of relics of antiquity, Historian Himes
missed one, treasure. 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

past from jcold, standing out during the
severe weather for hours at a time, and
the drivers have not had any means of
bathing them Vith hot water.' t

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

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

"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
