Tho Harvest Queen kept her line fast on the ship and brought her back to the city, berthing her at the a R. ft N. pier at 4 o'clock p. m. She will be supplied with new gear at once, and will ret the quick est dispatch possible on her voyage to Europe, with her big cargo of grain. This Is the second anchor she has lost since she entered this port, having drorixd the other in the waters of Portland harbor during her stay there. She had a kedge served for use down here, but ' mistrusted it, and went to the. dock in preference. t V The American bark Amelia, twenty alx 5aje out from San Francisco, is ceasing a great deal of uneasiness among wa-faring men in this neigh borhood. It la morally certain that she Is the bark that was reported by the captain of the Shlbatu Mara from Honolulu, which entered here the oth r day: and If she Is tn the crippled condition he reported on December t, she may have suffered much worse during the later gale that swept this coast She Is St years old and In no sort of shape to weather very much sea and wind. News of her will be welcome. If only on account of the lives at stake aboard of her. Captain George Wood, of the bar pilot service, reports that th south channel over the Columbia river bar Is deepening perceptibly since the last bad weather and, though, unbuofed. Is realty the most practicable route to the high sea from this port; and de clares there ts considerably more wa ter tn that channel than In the one leading directly westward, a condi tion of affairs that Invitee the Instant attention of the government engineers with a view to Its utilisation. ' Tt will be demonstrated, perhaps, tn the new bar soundings due from the of fice of Colonel Roeesler, which have been seriously delayed by the long stress of bad weather this winter. "Word come through the pilots of the bar service that the Jetty has suffered more than the Ion of Its sea board end during the late gales; that there is a gap of at least 1M feet gone out, near the old "loop" and Just beyond the center. This will be much more dlScutt to repair than the end break, and It is hoped It win soon be overhauled and made good before oth er sections follow. The bar tag Tatowh had the mis fortune t drift in under the bows of the choor.er Virginia early yesterday morning, while prepartrg to fasten to tier for a sea-tow. but after a little careful maneuvering, got clear with but little damage to either vessel There are now tww men on watch at the wreck of the Brltleh bark Peter Iredale, under the orders of Vice Con sul P. L. Cherry, and If the recent gale has done no further tlnmnge to her (and none has been reported to his office) she la probably making good weather of tt and lying snug. What her ultimate fate wilt be has not yet been decided by her owners and the underwriters. The st earner Alliance arrived down from Portland yesterday morning en route to Coos llay and putvka. She was loaded to the very guards with mtscallnneous freight, and had 80 peo pie In her cabins. Among those still ing from this port were the Mack Swain theater troupe for Coos Bay; Mews. W. B.

SWWPa jUncomttioti Clothes, - THE SIUSLAW PACIC. How the Salmon Industry fiounsned This Year Down There, The Ashing season Just closed haa been the best on the Siuslaw for JO years, if not the best since the fishing industry was established here. This Is no Idle boast but Is shown by statistics that have been carefully kept sine 1M7. , Previous to that time a cannery had been opereated here for two' or three years, and afterward the business of salting salmon was carried on here for several tyears, but no accurate statis tics of the amount of Ash packed are to be obtained. However, in the sum mer of 1SI7 three canneries were es tablished here and the business has been carried on every year down to the present time. This year there haa been a cold storage plant and two canneries operated here and they were unable to handle the fixh as fast as the men could catch them. This year Avery ft Gibson who op erated the nurd cannery, have packed about cases. Win Kyle A Bona Company have about 1.000 cases of canned salmon. At their cold storage plant this company have put up about IS tierces each holding toe pounds of Ash. Ia addition they have about SOt barrels of salt flh. Ceil Chrts tensen salted nearly 100 barrels of salmon and a number of other parties also have smaller quantities. It la difficult to say what proportion of the exceedingly large run of Ash this season la due to the work of the hatchery, aa all the rivers up and down the ca.t for a considerable distance; were greatly favored In this respect thts year. Even on those streams where no efforts at artidclal propa gation have been made there Is an unusually large catch. But there are two facta which Indicate that a con siderable proportion of the Increase Is due to the hatchery work: One Is that untn within two or three years past the efforts at artificial propagation have been confined almost entirely to the Chinook salmon. The other is tnst the number of Chloooks caught a mornln- frnm Poniard In this river hare been steadily In- ,tw s-aborg. prominent mer creaslng la proportion to the o'her , rixArA Ewi, waa among the ar ktnis of salmon or several years past 1 rlrift In th r!t-r J., PERSONAL MENTION.
