WATER FRONT ITEMS.
Tho Callonder steamer Melville, Cap
tain Jordan, wont to the site of the
late stranding of the schooner Alice
McDonald on Tuesday last, and located
the big mushroom anchor which was
planted In the bar channel and served
as a naullng point In the work of dls
lodging her from the Clatsop sands.
She found it and buoyed It, and made
another trip yesterday, with plenty of
help, secured It and brought It up to
the city. Captain Jordan says that
while lying off the lower coast on Tues
day evening, a muskrat. large and gray,
approached tho Melville Just about
dusk, and was so sorely tried with his
exertions the boys on the steamer ran
out the gang-plank and the musky
up and dropped on deck exhausted.
The crew at once got him a lot of meat
and bread from the cabin, and as soon
as he was rested Mr. Rat sailed in on
the provisions with an ardor that never
abated until he had swallowed the last
crumb; after which, he hunched up on
his hind quarters, dropped his head
under his fore-arms and went to sleep,
entirely oblivious of hla surroundings
and his friendly neighbors. The stea
mer returned to the Callendcr pier for
the night, and yesterday morning the
muskrat had utterly disappeared and
no further trace of him has been found.

Deserting Sailors and Their Apprehan.
ion.
Editor Astorlan:
Advices from all tho principal coast
cities reflect tho tendency of deop-wa-tor
sailors to desert their vessels on
arrival or whenever (he opportunity
presents Itself: Judging from artlclcN
written by tho uniformed laymen on
(his subject In discussions of tho vari
ous actuating Impulses, and tho part
that crimps and sailor boarding house
men contribute to this breaking of con
tract seldom Coos one of these writ
ers get at tho real course, detlned by
law, that all masters of vessels should
follow In compelling these delinquent
mariners to rot urn to their vessels and
faithfully live up to their articles, with
out forcing masters to resort to the
prevalent practices of enticing men
from other ships to sail with them, and
leave other ships short handed; It Is
tho duty of all masters, In dealing with
deserting seamen to apply to their con
sul for a consular warrant of arrest
and to servo notice at tho consulates
that, deserters' from their ships bo not
trans-shipped before the consuls, are
satisfied that such applicant can show
a clean discharge from their last ves
sol. FAMIUAHITAS.

FIGHT OVER CARLOAD RATES,
Shippers Now Objaot to Rult That Thty
Must Fill the Cars.
CI1HWUO, Feb. 20.-operating and
tratllc officials of tho western railroads
are of the opinion that the climax of
unreasonableness has been reached
when strenuous objection Is made to
their Insisting that shippers, In order
to be entitled to carload rates, should
bo obliged to llll tho cars furnished for
their use to normal holding capacity.
In times like these, when there Is a
car scarcity from Maine to Oregon,
and from Texas to Minnesota, nd the
whole country Is suffering front lack
of facilities to move tho business, tho
railroad men declare that it Is pre
posterous that they should be ex pec
ted, much loss required, to allow any
of their space to bo ruthlessly wasted
for the benefit of a small portion of
the shipping public and at tho expense
of the great majority of shippers.
Claims put forth by tho minority, it
Is asserted, in effect are a direct vio
lation of tho spirit of the Hepburn act.
which Is opposed to discrimination of
any kind. If tne claims of tho few
small shipper alluded to were to be
conceded, they say. It would be a gross
discrimination against, the great body
of shippers. In Justice to all concerned
It Is declared necessary that cars
should bo filled to normal holding ca
pacity, and shippers who cannot thus
load them are In no sense entitled to
car rates.
