Wierd talc are constantly coming
lip from Seaside. The ill-fated and de
serted schooner that was jammed al
most iiKn the rocks under the lea of
Tillamook Head about a month ago,
it all but forgotten, (having never had
any tangible existence in such a strait),
and now comes a tale, of Monday's hap
pening, in a shade more authentic form,
in which it is said that shrill and long
continued blasU-, as from the syren
of a steamship lost in the fog and close
in shore, which were later emphasized
ly the regular and constant booming of
cannon from seaward.
This series of sounds began at 10:30
o'clock in the morning and did not
cease for some hours.
The pilot schooner Joseph Pulitzer j
was off the bar all day and night, and 1
the bar-tug Tatooh was to seaward of
the river mouth the most of the
and within easy earshot of the strange
sounds, and as such sounds at sea tell
to seafaring ears a tale of stress, al
ways, it is more than likely one, or
both, these vessels would have gone
forward to find and relieve the stranger,
if stranger it was.
Forty hours have passed since the
incident was first noted; no wreck
have been reported, nor any further
signs seen or heard in the matter; and
the conclusion is safe and reasonable,
that some northbound steamer found
herself too close in,
lost, gave signals

May Spread Further.
When everything was in readiness to
begin unloading the steamship Klihu
Thompson at Tacoma. yesterday morn
ing fifty longshoremen went on a strike.
They contend that the Comercial Pock
Company cut their wages from 40 to
.10 cent an hour. The sailor on the
vessel also stalled to unit in vmpathv.
and for some time it looked as though
the strike would spread along the entire
waterfront. When the dock company
saw that there wa no lne of getting
the vessel unloaded immediately they
turned the job over to Md'alie A Ham
ilton. ";ate were then put up nt the
dock and jxilicemen were called to clear
the dock of the striker.

Yesterday's Oregonian says: ''Dr.
David T. Day, announced yesterday that
he has received instructions from Wash
ington, D. C, to continue with his in
vestigation into Pacific Coast black
sands. He has yet many sample to
experiment on. Much of his time dur
ing the next month will be devoted to
a series of experiment intended to es
tablish the practicability of smelting by
electricity, in the process of converting
magnetite into tcel. Dr. Day expects
to finish in Portland about the first of
the year. After a thorough test of the
Columbia river sand, he will leave for
Montana to examine into the inland
black sands. Before making further ex
per'ments he will make a flying business
trip to Washington, D. C, leaving to
day and returning within ten days."
