VOSDurg were in tuwu - i . . - ... flowing underneath the lana ai a mook Tuesday afternoon, and both were Experiments more or less damaged. The collision was the result of an vnsuccessful ef fort on the part of the Vosburg to pass the Elmore. The damage to the tug is estimated at several hundred dol lars, and her master, in a report for warded to the inspectors, has filed a claim for the amount. A counter claim Is to be filed by the Elmore line. There Is Intense rivalry between the two opposition steamers and on Tues day they left Tillamook at almost the same time. The Elmore got under way first and the Vosburg trailed her down the narrow slough leading from the bay to the town. When the narrows were reached the Vosburg tried to pass the Elmore and whistled that she would do x Captain Schrader, who held the leading position, could not make up his mind to allow the tug to pass him and an exciting race followed. For a mile and a half the steamers maintained their positions, the effort of the Vos burg to pass the Elmore being unsuc cessful. When the steamers reached a bend In the waterway the "Vosburg refused to slow down, with the result that the steamers came close together. The suction made it well nigh impossible to handle either vessel, and in a few minutes the boats came together. The Vosburg struck the Elmore amidships, the bow of the tug being damaged and the rail of the steamer being splinter ed. A second collision occurred a short time later, and a third was narrowly avoided. Each captain blames the other for the accident. Captain Schrader says he had the right of way, while Cap tain Loll charges him with bad navi gation. Captain Loll's report to the Inspectors will cause an official inves tigation of the matter, and the officials will determine whether or not damages shall be awarded. A suit to recover the amount claimed by each of the lines is net improbable. PILOTS ARE NOT PLEASED. depth of about 20 feet. Experiments made last season demonstrated that this source of supply was constant and abundant. The juestlor was how to ralsa the water to the surface In suf ficient quantity to Irrigate the land, and at an expense that would not be prohibitive. There Is an electric transmission line which conveys electric power to one of the mines which passes over his land. Mr. Patterson hit upon the Idea of putting In electric pumps to pump water from large wells, and ne has made arrangements to put in a number of these pumps. A five-horse power motor will drive a pump that will raise 320 gallons of water per minute which Is sufficient for 80 acres of land. A large well Is put down on the higest part of the tract to be Irrigated, and the electric motor and pump does the rest. Mr. Patterson expects to raise a crop on the land this season that will produce enough to pay r all im provements and leave a neat profit besides. GOOD PROPERTY SOLD. Protest Against Proposed Alteration of Deer Island Dyke. The Columbia river pilots protest vigorously against the proposed alter ation cf the Deer Island dyke, in thee(j. lower Columbia. Major Langfitt has been asked by the chief of engineers to submit estimates for repairing and raising the top level of the dyke. Ac cording to the Washington dispatch, the purpose Is "to control the channel" at that point. This, the pilots say, is not the real object of the work, and furthermore, it will have a bad effect on the channel. "The intention," says Captain Harry Emkin, "Is not to control the channel, but to provide more seining ground for the fishing companies. The dyke is six feet above low water mark now, and if it is raised it will, of course, give more ground for seining purposes. The can nery interests are back of this move, and they want to use the government's money for their own benefit. That's bad enough In Itself, but when it comes to spoiling the ship channel it is time to call a halt. If that dyke is raised it will divert the current and wash away Martin's Island and in that way fill up the channel below it Some steps ought to be taken to prevent any change in the dyke."

St. Louis Physicians May Be Able to Drive Away Disease. St. Loula, April 13. Two St. Louis physicians are using a new drug In the treatment of consumption. The physicians have been studying the action of this drug for two years and became convinced that it would be beneficial in consumption. While It has been used but a short time, the results so far are promising. On April 2 the physicians, Dr. J, J. II. Broderick and Dr. Edward H. lligbee, explained the treatment to Health Commissioner Simon and were given permission to treat whatever ratients they desired to in the tuber culosis ward of the emergancy hos pital. , The remedy is a very powerful pro. teld which Is found in healthy blood. The theory of Doctors Broderick and Higbee Is that consumption can be thrown oft by increasing the carrying JAPANESE GOODS. New stock of fancy goods just arrived at Yokohama Bazaar.
