Fisher Bros. schooner Gerald
found her way In yesterday after art
exciting experience of some days with
adverse gales. Tw Gerald C left out
for Nehalem. Taqulna and Alsea. but
when she neared Nehalem she found it
mu& too rough to attempt to go in
and stood out to sea. A gale picke t
ner up, and when they stopped run
niiUE she was north to Destruction Is
land. They tried to return, but the
weather compelled Captain Latham to
leave to, and they laid off the co&it
in company with the Zampa and an
ether vessel since Wednesday. While
coining in the Gerald C struck a dead
calm for a little while, and when an
other eule struck "ner It tore the main
all full of holes and carried away
part of another sail.
Th Gerald C carried little water and
this soon gave out. The coffee failed
first, however, and Captain Latham
says after they had wanned up the
"grounds" for three days they put ia
a small piece of rubber boot and the
quality of the brew was much Improved.
When the water gave out things looked
dark until Latham remembered him
of sundry cases of beer and a cask of
Dago red in the hold. These were
broached and with canned good9 the
mess resembled a brewers' picnic un
til they got into the harbor yesterday
morning. Barring the Injury to the
sails the vessel is not damaged and will
leave out strain toJav or tomorrow if
the weather permits. ,
General Marine Notes.
The German ship Christei left up the
river yesterday in tow to discharge a
part cargo she carried for Balfour,
Guthrie & Co.
The steamer Francis Leggett arrived
in yesterday morning with freight and
passengers from California ports. On
her way she sighted the Sue Elmore,
which was having a more or less stren
uous time off Nehalem.
The schooner Andy Mahoney arrived
down the river with a cargo of lumber
for California, and was towed to sea
yesterday afternoon.
The schooner Irene was towed to sea
with a cargo of lumber for San Pedro
yesterday morning.
The revenue cutter Perry is still out
in search of the Melville Dollar, which
reached Seattle safely. The Perry
will probably find her chase when she
puts into the sound.
Commander L. C. Heilner, United
States navy, inspector of this light
house district, has announced the fol
lowing changes in the buoys at the
mouth of the river: Columbia river,
pages 50 and 56 Outer buoy, a PS
first class can, was moved January T(
and is now in 53 feet of water about V2
mile NW W of its former position.
Peacock spit buoy No. O, a black first
class can, found missing January 7.
was replaced the same day. Innei
buoy, a PS first class nun, was estab
lished January 9, in 25 feet of water
on the inner edge of the bar. South
channel shoal buoy, a HS, first class
can, was discontinued January 9, the
shoal spot which it formerly markej
having disapeareJ. Peacock spit buoy
No. , a black first class can, found
missing January f, was replaced the
same day. East side of middle groun 1
buoy No. 6, a ltd first class spar,
found missing December 20, was re
placed the same day.
Bids Opened.
Bids were opened yesterday by the
committee on ways and means for do
ing the city printing for the years
1905-6. Four bids were submitted as
follows:
Budget 10 cent's per inch first in
sertion; S cents per Inch each subse
quent Insertion.
Herald 5 cents per inch first Inser
tion; 4 cents each subsequent inser
tion.
News 6 cents per inch first Inser
tion; 4 cents each subsequent insertion.
Astorian 7 cents first insertion; S
cents each subsequent insertion.
The bids were a tie between the Her-
and and News. The Herald withdrew
in favor of the News and the contract
will probably be awarded to It
Bids were opened for stationary and
legal blanks, and was a tie between
the News and Astorian. The commlti
ttee awarded the city printing to the
News and the printing of stationary
and legal blanks to the Astorian.
The price paid for city printing
heretofore has been 42 cents for the
first Insertion and IS cents for each sub
sequent Insertion. At the new con
tract, the city will save about J1000 a
year In printing legal notices.
Greatly In Demand.
Nothing is more in demand than a
medicine which meets modern require
ments for a blood and system cleanser,
such as Dr. King's New Life Pills. They
are just what you need to cure stomach
and liver troubles. Try them. At

REFEREE:The People.
Hip, hip. hurrah! They are at bay!
And how their advertising man docs bray.
They thought that he could do up WISE,
But soon they found to their surprise
That HERMAN was no easy mark,
And that is why these poodles bark.
Their Portland man does very fair,
But with WISE he'ean't compare.
Wise hit 'em in a tender spot
And that k why they arc so hot.
It's very well to hire a tool,
But the public is no fool.
When HERMAN WISE begins a sale,
He makes all fakirs turn quite pale.
The moral is: If you would speil
Your sale must be all through, and REAL.
