She went below ayain, but it is hardly probable Hiat even her doughty old (72 year) captain will tackle the Columbia bar while it is booming and foaming sheer white clear aero.. Hie steamship Olynipia is all ready for sea. She is lying snug at the Cal lender dock with all her hatches bat tened down and i billed to get away I for San IYdro, at 6:30 this morning. 1 Whether she will or not depend upon 'the Storm-King and the placidity of the The sou'wester that ha beet fooling Columbu river Ur sh,., , dlim,v ,nd rouna iau,ues I or uie past lew wme ofu,n sh Anflng days, giving premonitory hint or 118 ' 03 5 presence hereabout, by way of the glass, the clouds the tang in the air, Uie smashing bar, and such other agencies as it uses to indicate its nearness, has broken with all iu customary vigor and it in full play, from Santa Crni to Port Angeles. In deference to iU presence and force there is a fleet of ten vesssls in the lower harbor, bar-bound, and riding out the gale at anchor: They are Costa Rka, Wasp, Eureka, Senator and W. H. Kruger, all steamers bound for San Francisco, with the German ship Adolf, with foodstuffs for Europe; the barken tinea Mary Winkleman, and Portland, and the five-msted schooner Louis, all lumber laden for the Bay City, while the British ship Agincourt, a)id ttie British bark Roderick Dhu with her tug, the Dauntless, were enroute down river last night, to joint the anchored ves sels, and the hardy mariners, that for thq time beirfj can buti pace! (Jhr decks, spit to leeward, growl, and try. to whistle down the wind. It was reported yesterday at noon that three suuare-riinrcr outside had fluttered up over the horizon for little while and then sank down below the line of vision again. It was th same fleet reported day before yeter day no doubt, the ships Falls of 1W the Eskonia and the schooner Ceorg ina. They are well off the coast thli morning, and wont show up again till the "coast is clear." It is said both the ships picked up pilots yesterday, and under fair conditions will sail in. Hie big river liner T. J. Potter has not had her funnel painted since the days of "Auld Lang Syne"; but she keeps her Portland-Astoria shedules pretty closely and is carrying heavily above and below stairs. Getting in Shape. The Astoria Wharf and Warehouse Company is making a line of general re pairs, in fact completely over hauling, the old "Can Dock; driving neSr dolphins, qrplanking the surface work, putting in new stringers, and put ting it in good shape for immediate and active business.

I out and the scrap the got into with the Telegraph, but she is making correct schedules again and doing a good pas sengvr and freight business. The steamer South Bay got in from San Francico yesterday morning, and after discharging a few tons of stuff for this point, proceeded to Portland. The sou'wester should blow the Nu nantia up from her coast course and put her in sight by today. She is anxiously looked for and has a big cargo and quick dWpatch awaiting her in Port land. The Columbia river bar has a good and able friend in Hon. C. II Carey, of Portland, who4i an intimate and per sonal friend of lreklent Roosevelt. At the instance of the Portland Chamber of Commerce, Judge Carey will go to Washington and do all he may for this and other harbor improvements, in the state. The barge Lewis was brought along side the French bark Hoche, at Col 11111 bia dock No. 1, at Portland yesterday, and will be loaded with pig iron which the bark brought to port. The iron will be carried to the Oregon Iron & Steel Works, at twego.

The two brothers Machado, of Lewis and Clark river, came down from their little ranch on the south of the Astoria peninsula yesterday, by boat, to the city, for a load of lumber and some few household supplies. It took them until nearly 5 o'clock in the afternoon to get their lumber and other purchases aboard the boat whhh lay at the slip just East of Fisher Bros. At that hour they started home with well laden boat, the lumber being especially heavy and piled fore and aft. They lift the slip and hauled her out into the tideway beyond the dock, when an altercation between the brothers as to the expediency of raising the sail took place, the man desiring to sail ome overpersuading the man who though it safer to pull home. Tlx sail was set and had not even had a chance to catch and draw, when the whole con cern was bottom up in the bay. Both brothers are exjH-rt swimmers rid this stood them in hand, as the scene of their mishap is a dangerous one, the inset tide run at that point being ery severe. Their plight wa known instantly and everybody in the neighborhood was busy at once devising ways to (lh them out. At this juncture the Mayflower came along headed for her slip nearby, and the men were soon aboard and their boat towing astern. The Messrs. Machado came, ashore, dried their clothing, fixed up their boat, and proceeded to take it easy for the night. Oars, lumber, provisions, every thing looe about the boat, were gone so they concluded to renew the effort this morning, tnd with infinitely better luck it is hoped.

Attorney Chlckering, of San Francisco, Sayt He Received no Money. Sun Francisco, Nov. I. Attorney W. II. flickering said last night in refer ence to the testimony given yesterday by Samuel S. Mefurdy, at the insurants' investigation in New York; "It is true that I represent the Mutual Life here as a legal adviser, but that I was paid $17,300 is ridiculous and false. I happened to be In New York at the time referred to in the New York dis patch. My son was dangerously ill in a hospital at Y'onkers. That was the reason for my being East at that time, It is true that I met Governor Budd in New York at that time. We discussed insurance matters with the Mutual Life people.

"Consumption ruts in our family, and through it I lost my mother," writes R. B. Reld, of Harmony, Me. "For tht past five years however, on the slight est tlgn of a cough of cold I have taken Dr. King't Nw Discustry for Con sumption which hat ttved me from serious lung trouble." Ilia mother's death wit a tad lost to Mr. Ried, but he learned that lung trouble must not be neglected, and how to cure it. Quickest Our conference had reference relief and cure for coughtt and colds to the attitude of the then California in surance Commissioner, A. J.C lunie, to wards the life insurance companies. "You see, Clunie was insisting upon both life and fire insurance companies living up to the letter of the law. He was a little bit ugly, in that he made much of trivial and technical matter. We had one dispute with him. When the late A. B. Forbes was general man ager for the Mutual Life here, Clunie found that some of the men on his bond were dead. He insisted that if Forbes' bond as' not renewed with additional bondsmen that Mutual life policyhold ers in California might suffer. There was nothing in this contention of ('lunie. However, his request was reasonable as to perfecting Forties' bond and it was complied with. Price 60c and 11.00; guaranteed at Charles Rogers' drug store. Trial bottle free. REALTY CHANGES HANDS.
