DEGnANDDOCKNEW
Secretary Edmond P. Noonan of the
Alaska Fishermen's racking Company,
of this city, yesterday received a let
ter from P. A. Berglund, the company
superintendent at Xushagak, Alaska,
under date of July 24th, in which it is
stated that the good ship Drummond.
with all hands, will be ready to sail for
home about the 20th day of August
(yesterday) : and that the steamer
Korth Star is due to arrive here on
August 30th. All were reported well;
and the pack at Bristol Bay is esti
mated to be considerably short of last
year's. Other information, at hand yes.
terday, however, puts the pack of this
company at 56,000 cases, which esti
mate is not confirmed at the A. F. P.
company's office here. It is also said
that the Drummond unhappily lost
hand at sea, by the breaking of a foot
rope on one of the upper yards, two
days out from the Columbia river. His
same is not reported.
The Columbia River Packing Company
was also in receipt of news from the
far north, to the effect, in substance,
that the ship St. Nicholas arrived at
Knshagak on the 14th of May, and the
first King salmon was caught on June
2nd. It took thirteen days to unload
the ship, and active fishing was com
menced on the 6th of June. Ingebrietz
Ingebrietson, of the cannery crew was
taken sick after the arrival of the ship,
and was sent to the Moravian Mission,
where he died on the 29th of May, an.i
was buried on the 30th. Four other
men were stricken with typhoid fever
on the voyage north, and Superintend
ent Belland hag had his hands full with
sickness during the season. The pack of
the company is reported at 48,000 cases,
instead of 43,000 as previously report
ed. . Mr. Belland sends word that the
St. Xkholas, with her people and cargo
will leave for the south on the 20th of
August, along with the rest of the
fleet.
With the strong northwesterly winds
prevalent at this season, the fleet ought
to be off the mouth of the river short
ly after the first of the month. And
there are plenty of welcoming hearts
and hands awaiting it.

MOXCTONY X. B., August 20.-A
three-mated schooner, Norwegian, name
unknown, is reported ashore on a sand
bar near Cape Baud and likely to be i
total loss. The vessel was from Mira
micbi, lumber laden, for England.
The steamer Lurline is getting stuck-
up since sue Kepi alongside tne leie
graph for 15 or 20 mile the other
morning, and yesterday morning in the
Willamette, she gave the Bailey Gatzert
all she could do from the Steel Bridge
to the Portland Flouring Mills pier;
and then, to cap the climax he range !
alongside the Telegraph again for an
other spurt, and the spunky little flyer
just got right in front of her and threw
water all over her until the Lurline lit
out for the bank to escape the deluge.
She'a getting prvtty gay, it seems! She
came down on time last niiiht, and
brought the news that the claim-agent
of tbe "K line, Walter H. Irvine, has
reported the claim held against him by
Miss Mary Bliane, the pretty book
keeper of the Altoona Packing Com
pany, as perfectly justifiable, and has
settled it by way of Cupid's court, and
that the two happy young people are
likely to hold mutual and life long
claims against each other that will
never require litigating. The following
people went up the river on the Lurline
last evening: Captain Mathews, F. R.
Cutler and O. V. Roetzner.
The steamer Aurelia came down the
river yesterday afternon at 2 o'clock,
lumber laden for San Francisco., Cap
tain Bailey, of the river pilot service,
who brought hep down, reports that the
upper river is clouded in a dense haze
of drifting smoke from the forest-fires
that are raging up and down the coast
range, and was so thick at one time
during the passage that he thought he
would have the anchor until it lifted,
but it elided off and he kept on bis
way.
The steamer Sue H. Elmore is mak
ing daily trips between this city and
Garibaldi, on the Tillamook bay, in
behalf of the Tillamook county fair,

ing heavily. The fair is said to have
opened under uplendid auspice and with
magnitlcent attendance. It is hoped
here it may be one of the great sue-
ceswes of the year.
The steamship Comeric left out for

The light-house tender Heather came
in Sunday evening from a trip up the

ing buoy from out of Gray's Harboi
and left supplier at Destruction Island
and on the light-ship off the Columbia
bar.

where she has been undergoing a gen
eral overhauling. She will at once re
sume her duty on the bar, and do her

Smith and stair, on board, u on the

The steamer Ywemite arrived in from

for the inland dependency. She is a
handsome and well-kept ship and a
heavy carrier.
Water Wagon Needed. On Sunday
morning last a fishing boat was sailed
in to the O. R. & X. pier and made fast,
three men being on board, and all more
or- lea under the influence of liquor.
Two of the men, after a fashion, made
the boat fast and clumsily climbed up
the dock-ladder, leaving the third
man alone in the craft. He was the
drunkest of the three and as soon as he
realized that he had been deserted,
sought to make the dock also, and in his
maudlin efforts, went over the side of
the boat backwards and headforemost
into the bay. He 'was no swimmer;
that was apparent to two citizens who
were standing on the Callender dock and
witnessed the whole transaction and
rushed to the relief of the poor chump
struggling to regain the boat; they
hauled him aboard, partially sobered,
and laid him out in the bottom, wliere
after cordially abusing them at the top
of big voice ' for awhile, he went to
sleep, and they departed with a realiz
ing sense that they had, at least, saved
his life, whether it was worth it or not.
Fishing Reports From Below. A gen
tleman from the northshore beaches was
in the city yesterday, and says that
the fishing season among the traps in
Baker's Bay is the worst ever known;
that out of 270 traps, but two have
netted any profit whatever and that
the trap-men over there are blue as
indigo in consequence. The catch. yes
terday wag meagre in general, but ex
cellent in spots, and contributed but
little to the sum of supply, with noth
ing to indicate a near improvement.
