THE MOHNING ASTOIUAN, ASTORIA, OREGON. SATURDAY, JANUARY 12, 1007. FLOTSAM AND JETSOM. The ocean tug Samson, which, after hasty repairs made nt Coos liny, af ter the great gules of Inst week, wont out In search of her lost tow, the Mhooner Dig IlonaiiEa, fulled to llnil 'hat vessel and was soon compelled to inter this port yesterday with her tellers leaking very badly, and after a brief delay here went on to the me tropolis, where she will be thorough ly overhauled. Captain Jones says she rever has been through a worse siege than on this last trip up with the Honania, and he deems himself for tunate In getting back to port with nothing more serious to report. It Is thought the schooner will report all right in due time, aa she was well equipped In every way and had a crew of six or seven men on board. The Astoria route Is the only water now open out of Portland, all th: oth rs being closed by the drift Ice. PLENTY OF COAL AT YAKIMA.

NORTH YAKIMA. Jan. It -There t plenty of fuel In North Yakima today. No attempt was made to stop the people from taking the coal i'ompod on the track during yester day's raid, although a closer watch van kept on the people to Insure the oal being weighed and paid for. It I estimated that the amount appro priated on Tuesday was nearly 1, 000 tons, and also It Is thought that not more than one-third of this was weighed, or taken with any Intention of paying for It. It Is rumored today that steps will le taken to prosecute some of the rnrtles who were foremost in leading t- raid and appropriating the coal, but little fear of this is felt. The local officials of the Northern Pacific did announce, however, that in all reliability suits will be Instituted r.galnst the city and county to re cover damages for coal taken because te sheriff's office, the mayor and the ibief of police were appealed to to stop the raid and failed to respond. It so happened that the sheriff and rll his deputies were engaged in du t'es which took them out o( town nl the time the appeal was made. Th. mayor did not refuse assistance. bu It is understood that he did not in struct the chief of police, or patrol men, to prevent the carrying off of the coal. The action of the citizens evidently '. ad a good effect In hurrying the rail way officials In Tacoma, and people b.tjre believe that they might have taken steps to relieve the situation v?eks ago had they been so disposed. The, Northwest Improvement Com-p-ry, officered by Northern Pacific of f.clals, this evening notified the local ! anager that four cars of coal had j b en forwarded and that twenty more COUNCIL MEETING Fint Business Session of the New Year Sees Much Work Done.
