TUESDAY, OCTOBER to, 1905. '4 THE MORNING ASTOIUAN. ASTORIA. OREGON. I RIVER, BAY, OCEAN Day's Doings Along the Water Front of Astoria. LURLINE SHANGHAIS" MAN Towa to Portland and to Sea Local Steamer and Their Work and Work eft Item Frtm Cbnael anjl Bar and Dock. Captain Cochran, owner of the Maim er Telephone i the happiest nun In Portland today. As told in the Astor iaa the race between the Charlea R. Spencer and the Telephone came off yes terday and the latter won handily. Tiie boats left Portland at the same time yesterday morning and moved along easily until the mouth of the Columbia waa reached. There the Spencer took the lead, while the Telephone adopted teasing tactics and kept just astern of the Spencer until Lady island was in Bight, when, without apparent effort, the Telephone passed the Spencer and easily maintained the lead until the locks were reached arriving there seven minutes in the lead. Both boats were loaded with excurs ionists and these entered into the spirit 01 the race with such enthusiasm that they overlooked the scenery along the banks of the Columbia river. The Charles R. Spencer did not go through the locks and the Telephone had no chance to show what she could do on the return trip. . . - ., The following paaeugvrs left for Port land on the 'steamer Lurline last even ing: D. Hood, C. IL Bush, J. A. Howar ton, George Baker, A, E. Peterson, A. R. Cyrus, F. Hill and wife, Mr. and .Mrs. Shaver, Mrs. E. A. Seaborg, J. G. Gur nell, M. Backmoth, B. Van Dusen, G. Robert Gardner, J. B. Van Soule. ANOTHER MASTERFUL DEMONSTRATION OF OUR BUYING SUPERIORITY TAKES PLACE OCT. 9 IP THE FOARD & STOKES CO. The British steamer Kelvinhank, and the barkentines Aragon and Thistle left out from the lower bay anchorage, yes terday, on the noon tide. The powerful towing steamer Okla hama left up yesterday at noon with the schooner Owkland and F.thel Zane on her flanks. Now that the Telephone has done the Spencer up. it is appropriate that a river race be called as between Uie Telephone and the Telegraph. Their "circuits don't jibe for the purpose, it is true, but the Telegraph might take a day off, just for the sake 01 tieatlng Her only rival in northwestern water. It is up to Captain Scott. Astoria knows both boats and will take "tangible" in terest in the event. The Telegraph handled ISO people both ways yesterday and did it on exact time. The steamer Roanoke is due down from Portland tomorrow and will take on quite a "package at the Callcnder pier before she puts to sea, San Fran- eisco bound. The tug Melville left down jester day morning for Peacock spit where liesj the stranded Columbia bar light-ship. p. with a big reel of wii cable and several mushroom anchors, to be used in kedging the unfortunate vessel into linker's Bay channel. Considerable work was done yesterday in preparing the gear and plac ing the mushrooms and the big haul will commence todav; all Astoria will be glad to get the news of her safety and that site is on an even keel in deep water again. The ship Berlin is still at anchor in the city channel, but will probably get to sea sometime today. The barkentine George C. Perkins, in ballast from San Francisco, crosed in yesterday afternoon, under tow of the Tatoosh and anchored off the Coal dock. She will leave up for Portland tomor row, for lumber. The Oklahama on her last trip from Portland, brought down 3,000 sacks of grain, that will be di-tributrd among the farmers along the Lewis 1 Clark river, who ordered it.

NO LIMIT, TAKE AS MANY YARDS AS YOU WANT. This Sole For Cash Only. NEW GOODS ONLY The steamship Columbia from San Francisco is due at the 0. R. Jt X. pier tomorrow morning. She will be fol lowed on the Will, by the steamship Costa Rica, that cornea hither as sub stitute for the St. Paul. Thew are about 2.500 ton of miscel laneous fiiglt) collected on the WO foot pier of the O. R. & X. Company, here, in storage, for local delivery and for coastwise and river transportation, including 2lM tous of chit tarn bark. The steamer Wenona, Capt. Ilulse. left with twelve tons of feed stuffs, consigned to Aug. Byyny, at Gray's River yesterday, at 4 o'clock, p. m. It is said the high tide of Sunday night shoved the stranded light ship further upon lVaeock Spit, but not far enough to materially impede the efforts to be made to warp her into good water. All detachable, visible fixtures of the sunken light house tender, Manzanita, were remove! yesterday, by her com panion ship the Columbine, which went up the river for that purpose yesterday morning. I he handsome steamer hlectro was tne suiijeci 01 bargain, yesteruay and thereby became the property of Capt. John V. Babbidge. Capt. Wilber V. Baltbiilp. Iter late master, will leave, the latter end of this week, for Port land, and Ixtard the Spencer as one of her pilot staff. James Rabhidge will take command of the FJectro at once. Captain Alfred Babbidge of the steamer K. Miler, who has been ill for some time past, and aWnt at The Dulles, will le home very shortly and resume command of the Miler. where his many friends will be glad to bail him again. First Mate D. C. Kindred, of the steamer R. Miler, who was injured two months ago by having his right foot and ankle jammed in coil of rope while making a northshore landing, still com plains of intense soreness and stiffness in the wounded limb, but is in hoie of taking his po-t on the Miler by Xovem- ber 1st. at the latest. The oil-tanker Whittier came down from Portland, yesterday afternoon and landed at the Kinney dock to take on an additional cargo, and will get away to San Francisco early this morning. The tug Samson was subjected to rig id insvtion yesterday by t. S. In sxvtor Kdwards and Fuller, of hulls and loilcr, resjicctively and passed successfully. The American customs wale for meas uring the tonnage of vessel, is somehow never adaptable to ship and steamers built in, French yards and flying the French flag. This is almost traditional in the local office here, and Is applicable in a much smaller degree, to vessels of British ami Cerman merchant fleets. The French bark Rriacux is a case in point. She is just in from Tasmania ports, and her registered gross tonnage is 2.302 tons, and this is abated by her home government scale of deduction, by tons, making her net tonnage 1,717 Her measurement was taken yesterday under the American vale by the local insKctor and she was allowed a de duction of but 12 ton, which Increased her chargeable tonnage fees to the tune of on the 573 ton charged for as cargo space. This made her amenable to fees in the sum of $137.40 on 2iH.K) tons. The Imrkentiue Amelia left out yes terday morning, lumlter laden for San IVdro. The steamer Argo which run between Point Kenyon and San Francisco went ashore yesterday at Kel river bar. She ha no passengers, but carries a heavy cargo of freight. Vessel and freight are valued at fUNI.OOO. It is believed the Argo can I floated. San Francisco, Oct. 0. A minute ex amination of the hull of the steamer Alameda by the marine surveyors show ed the iv I extent of the damage to the vessel. The ine-toni found that the greatest damage sustained by the steam er was on the port side where there i greate-t puncture. It i seven feet in length by two in width, directly under the Mrt fuel tank. In the interior of tne steamer it will be necessary to re pair 40 frame. According to the in- j spector, it will be necessary ot renew 22 plate and repair 04 others before the steamer will lie in sea going condi tion. The British balk Roderick Dim baa been cliartered to bring wheat from Ta coma or Portland to San Francisco at 2 per ton. She is to lie towed down and back. This is the first time that a ship has ht-en put into service between these ports and under tow of a tug. The British snip Port lxgan, now at San Francisco, i chartered for wheat from Portland to Europe at 27 Od. A close investigation is to lie made to fix the responsibility for the collision between the I'nited State light house tender Manzanita and the Port of Port land dredge Columbia, near Westport Saturday. There is question as to whether the local in-twctoM of steam ves-cls or the lighthoiisa department will conduct t lie inquiry. No r-srt ha been made at the ollh-e of Captain Ileil- ner, light house inspector for this dis trict, but a he is abent the matter will probably be taken in charge of by Captain Albert Ross, of the light house board, who is in thi city. Captain Hay- den, master of the Port of Portland tend er John McCraken, which was towing the Columbia at the time of the acci dent has a license from the Portland of fice and hi connection with the case may result in the inspectors holding an investigation. On the other hand, the Manzanita is a government craft and the Columbia is under charter to the United State engineer corps, ho the op inion is hazarded in some quarters that only a naval inquiry will be made.
