I in,- ib.jl BaaaaaaaaaaaassBaa mj raoutu of the river. Purser Burleigh, cf the steamer Lurline, will go to Portland on to night's train. Dr. Holt, the quarantine officer, re ceived a telegram from San Fran cisco yesterday informing him that the certificate of the steam schooner Cascade, was worthless, and on her arrival here she will be boarded by Dr. Holt, who will be guided by a letter he will receive, confirming the telegram, and giving further particu lars. It is thought that the captain violated some regulation of the serv ice, and evidently forgot that there is telegraph service to this port The French bark Eugene Schneider has cleared at Portland with 111,537 bushels of wheat, worth $107,610 for Europe. She is due down the river at any time. The attempt to float the Claverdon, early yesterday morning, did not meet with success. .The tugs Wallula and Tatoosh pulled at her, at high water, but could not budge her and the at tempt was abandoned. About 600 tons of wheat, part of her cargo, is now on the barge Klickitat, which h lying below the O. R. & N. Company dock. It was thought that when this amount was removed, that she could be floated but the attempt proving unsuccessful more of the cargo will be unloaded. The steamer , Elmore will be loaded to her capacity and will dock the load, and return for an other lot. Another attempt will then be made to clear her when this addi tional amount is unloaded. On the trip the oil steamer Asun cion made to the port, two months ago, the captain of the steamer vio lated the quarantine regulations and it is reported that he did not show proper respect to the quarantine officer. Personally, Dr. Holt cares little for the disrespect but his duty compelled him to take cognizance of the violation. He reported the mat ter to Washington. Probably caused by the slow system of handling such maters at headquarters no returns were made at the time the vessel was here on her last trip, but when Capt. Bridgett reached here Thursday he was notified that the deputy collector had some business with him. He call ed on that official, Thursday night and had a lengthy - interview. The result will not be known until it is made known from Washington. Crescent Wheat Flakes Ready to Eat 3 Pacftag'es for 25 ents Try some with your next order. Acme Grocery Co.
