One thou sand tons of barley for the Japanese government are to be carried bv the steamer Coptic, sailing on April 2 for large shipment ordered some months the Asiatic coast This is part of a large shipments ordered some months ago before hostilities began with Rus sia. Several hundred tons of the barley were sent out on the Siberia, but the bulk of it Is to go on -the Coptic, and the disability of most of the Russian warships on the coast of Asia makes It almost certain that the grain will reach Yokohama in safety and not be captured by the czars ships for the Cossack cavalry. , NEW TUGBOAT FOR OREGON.

Commander caiKins was aooara the Heather when the buoy was picked up. In moving the aJd to navigation the utmost care was exercised by the officials to give it an advantageous lo cation, but it soon became submerged and was rendered useless. The com pany which manufactures this class of buoy Is not discouraged because of the failure which has thus far attended Its efforts'and hopes to design a buoy which will meet requirements in every respect When the new buoy Is turned out another effort will be made to es tablish one at the mouth of the Columbia.
