The oriental liner Numantla arrived In port yesterday from the fur east. Khe hud a fnt passage of 17 day from Yokohuma and an uneventful one, fur that matter. Khe sighted no war ves sel, nor did any Incident occur to break the monotony of the voyage. The Numantla will load an outward cargo at Portland. News was received from the mouth of the river Sunday that J00 feet of new Jetty had been curried away by the storm. The break Is near shore and Is attributed to the constant pounding against the trestle of log which escaped from a boom here. This break In the trestle Is the first real of Idaho and the need for Improvement of the upper river. It I one of the most elaborate medium of the kind ever received by the chamber and con tains much valuuble Information, as well a wore of valuable suggestion. It I probable that the Simpson Lum ber Company will make no effort to adjust the O. R. & N. Co,' claim against It for towing the dismasted Webfoot Into port Captain Simpson was In the city Sunday and offered the company $250 for the service. The tender was refused, and It Is likely the company will permit the company to levy upon the hull and lumber cargo for Its damage. Captain Lewi ha paid off the four surviving member of the crew, each of whom had some thing like 170 coming. The derelict I still lying In the stream. The steamer Columbia and Kllburn departed yesterday for Ban Francisco. The Kllburn Is a new vessel on the Co-luiubla-Han Francisco run and some sweeping statements have been made with reference to her speed. It I claimed for her that ihe has been mak ing a 98-mlle run In six hour, and that she can euslly steam 17.5 knots Yesterday the Columbia and Kllburn pussed out at the same time, and, while the Kllburn goes only as far as Coos bay, It Is likely the two steamers will race to that point, As to whether or not the Kllburn will be kept on this run is a question. Certificates of nomination of A. M. Smith, the citizen candidate for city attorney, and Cieorge W. Morton, the cllixen candidate for councilman In the Second ward, and the petition nominating Hans Jacobson as an Inde pendent candidate for councilman In the Third ward were filed yesterduy with Auditor Anderson. The vacancy on both the citizen and Republican tickets due to the withdrawal of Hon. John Nordstrom has not been filled by either party. It Is understood the damage done to the breakwater this candidacy of Mr. Jacobson Is satisfac tory to the citizens, but the Republic an committee will doubtless name a man to make the race In Mr. Nord strom' stend. season. The damage is very siigiu aim repairs can euslly be made. The muster of the steamship Nu mantla, arriving yesterday, reports that It was Impossible for him to learn Thirty-seven of the 72 men employed anything In Japan a to the progress on the bar dredge Chinook have been of the war.

Some time since the chamber protst- ed ognlnst the plan adopted for dredg ing the ship channel In front of this city, and Senator Mitchell and Con gressmen Williamson and Hermann were aske3 to co-operate with Senator Fulton In securing the adoption of a satisfactory method of Improvement. Senator Mitchell and Congressman Williamson have replied to the chain ber's letter, saying that they will work required after December 1. The dredge will leave up the river In a few day. She will be refitted and when she goes back Into service will be an oil- burning vessel The alterations will probably be made at Portland. The Chinook can not work during the win ter months, and the department has considered It advisable to make the the Chamber of 'h""" ,low- The assurance ha been conveyed that the dredge will be con tinued at work here, and confldenec Is expressed that she will assist material ly In the bar Improvement project. Sixteenth street a spring on private property send a stream of water over the sidewalk. Repair should be re quired by the street department. The sidewalk on Franklin avenue near Twelfth street has collapsed through the caving of the embankment, giving a deplorable appearanec to an other' wise attractive thoroughfare. The ce ment walk on Grand avenue near Four teenth street Is still In place, but will probably collapse before the winter is over unless repairs are soon made. This damage I due to the caving of the embankment, and the matter has been brought to the attention of the council by Captain Wood, owner of the adjoin ing property. It will be recalled that property own ers some time ago remonstrated to the council against acceptance of the Grand avenue, improvement until such time as all bulkhead on the street were removed. A long stone wall. In closing residence property, I four Inches on the street, and some of the Interested property owners have noti fied the council that they will refuse to pay their assessments If this wall Is not moved back. Whether or not the street committee can compel re moval of the wall Is, It is said, a ques tion. City Attorney Smith will be asked to render a written opinion for the guidance of the committee, and If he decides that the wall can be removed the street committee will decline to ac cept the street Improvement until the wall is removed. The Improvement must be accepted by the committee before the contractor can get his money $8000 in this case. This will make it necessary for the contractor to require removal of the stonewall. "The outcome of the matter depends entirely upon Mr. Smith's opinion," said Mr. Burns of the street commit tee lost night. "If he says the wall may be removed through legal process, the wall must go; If he rules that the courts probably would not require Its removal, it will stay where It Is." In reply to a question, Mr. Burns said he had not yet called a meeting of the special committee appointed to recom mend charter changes. He seemed to be of the opinion that tinkering with the charter was bad business, and rather Indifferently disposed toward the proposal.

M; Gillette, who was found on the beach near Arch cape lust Friday, was brought to the city Sunday nnd Is now at St Mary's hospital. Mr. Gillette and a companion were coming up the roast fct the time of the accident. Gil lette's companion disappeared while the travelers were making their way along the beach by Jumping from one boulder to another and Gillette sup posed he had turned back. In Jump Ing from rock to rock Mr. Gillette made a misstep and went Into the surf, which dashed him against the rocks, breaking his leg. He managed to crawl up between two logs, where he was found by the mnllcarrler In a delirious condition. He is now getting along nicely and his speedy recovery is looked for. The recent heavy ralna have thor oughly tested the mncadnm streets, and the thoroughfares have withstood the deluge In excellent manner. Franklin avenue, a recent Improvement, shows what may be expected of this form of pavement. The rnlns merely had the effect of packing the street, which was not rendered muddy or slushy. None of the crushed rock covering was car ried awoy and the cement gutters, which are so constructed as to catch water from the street contained no mud' or other deposit.
