: The French bark La Bruyere arrived
in port yesterday after an eventful
passage from Port Los Angeles. Ia
Brvyere was SS days in making the
trip up the coast. She should have
made the passage In 16 to 1 days and.
belli twice as long- on the way op from
the California port as she should have
been, there was much concern for her.
When the wkllula started in with her
yesterday she was reported to have
had a disabled French bark In tow. and
It was expected some disaster had be
fallen the vessel, since her, departure
from Port bos Angeles. J
' Pilot nderson brought the . vessel
Into the harbor. He said yesterday
evening that there was but one man
aboard who spoke English the boat
swain and from this officer he learned
the reason of the long trip of La
Bruyere. After leaving Port Los An
geles the vesse' ran Into a calm that
delayed her oft the California coast.
.Finally she got. a breeie and continued
on her way until oft the Oregon coast.
Then one of the recent heavy south
west gales sprung up and Xa Bruyere
was driven as far north as Cape Flat
tery. She was unable to beat back im
mediately, and only showed up off the
Heads yesterday.
The boatswain explained that the
bark's rigging had been damaged off
Cape Horn on the trip out to Port Los
Aageles. During heavy weather she
lost her fore top-gallant mast and one
f the forward plates was carried
away. Repairs were not made at the
California port, but will be made here.
Because of the damage to the plate It
was impossible for the vessel to drop
'her port anchor, v
J A trip of SS days from Port Los An
geles to Astoria to about the same as
"a 200-day trip from England here, and
this caused the fear for the French
man. The San Francisco gamblers
doped her for lost and 15 per cent re
Insurance had been offered on her. It
was figured at San Francisco that the
southwest gales should have helped her
along Instead of delaying her. La
Bruyere was built at Nantes in 18S9
and registers over 1700 tons. She is a
bounty earner and long passages and
low charter rates do not make so very
much difference to her owners. She is
under charter to load grain for the
United Kingdom.
DO NOT FANCY RIVER JETTIES.
Pilots Say They Are Ruining the Chan
nel Above Astoria Harbor.
A few days ago several well known
river pilots congregated for the pur
, pose of discussing river improvements,
the condition of the Portland channel
and other similar matters, and it was
"afterwards regreteed that the conver
sation did not take place within the
hearing of some of the engineers. The
' pilots expressed themselves in very
- plain English, and their jemarks about
river jetties were not at all flattering.
. A gentleman who was present when
the conversation took place quoted the
pilots as saying that, were it not for
the dredging work which has been
done In the river above Astoria, a man
could walk across the "mighty" Colum-
bia at almost any point. The Snag
Island jetty was pronounced the most
unsuccessful improvement that had
ever been undertaken, and the port of
Portland commission was roundly
scored for putting it in the river. It
f was agreed that but one Jetty was
worth the powder to blow it skyward
that at St. Helens bar. All the others
were pronounced , to be absolutely
worthless, and positively damaging to
the river channel.
It was less than a week ago that all
the Portland papers strongly Indorse
the jetty method of improvement and
branded dredging work as of no bene
fit. In view of this declaration, the
statement of the river pilots, who speak
from experience, Is Interesting.
the end of February and last month's
recurd should be greatly surpassed.
The week ending last night proved
somewhat disappoint tug, the total lum
ber clearances being loss than S.000.000
