Yesterday it was smooth all day, with clear weather. The low est velocity of the wind was fiy miles at 8, o'clock, while the greatest was 10 miles at noon. Towards evening the wind died down to eight miles. There was no difficulty for any of the vessels to cross in or out hont rolled until her yards touched on either side, still Reed was tugging at her. Finally a whopper ciuignt her, and we saw her turn completely over, righting herself, as we learned after, without losing even tin cup,M "Say, captain," asked the inquisitive reporter, "how many feet of water were there on the bar at that time?" "Oh, about 18 feet," answered the veracious sea doir. "How in the world could a vessel turn completely over in 18 feet of water? Why her masts would strike the bottom," urged the reporter. "Young maV" said the nar rator, "You're a regular1 inquisitive Clarence, but I'll explain to you! You see when the skipper saw that she was going over he ordered the masts taken in and the job was done in time to save her." The news-gatherer gasped, reeled to the door and feebly said: "Say, Cap., tell that to a Tele gram reporter." The gasoline schooner Evie arrived in yesterday morning, She came from points along the Oregon coast with canned salmon for S. Elmore & Co. .4tlMMIMMIIIIMttltMIHIMtMn !

The Costa Rica arrived down from Portland-at 11:30 Thursday night and left for San Francisco at 7:40 a. m. yesterday. The French bark Sully crossed out to sea yesterday morning at 9:30. The Roanoke left out for San Fran cisco and San Pedro, yesterday morn ing at 7:40. She had a good cargo and a fair list of passengers. The lighthouse tender Armeria re turned from Coos Bay yesterday. Having concluded the reloading of the Claverdon, the steamer Elmore, having in tow the barge Klickitat, left up for Portland last evening. The Claverdon is now ready for sea and will leave out at the first opportunity. The steamer Minnie E. Kelton will be put on the run between San Fran cisco and Tillamook and will carry freight and passengers. She is a ves sel of 100 tons and has accommoda tions for 40 passengers. It is thought that the running of this steamer will divert much business from Portland to San Francisco. The British bark Amazon will leave Portland this morning, loaded with grain for Europe. The schooner Alvena sailed from Redondo on January 26th for the Columbia River. The lighthouse tender Columbine will probably go to Portland today. The Alliance sailed from Coos Bay at 8 o'clock yesterday morning and is due here this forenoon. The Norwegian steamer Haldis is loading lumber at Rainier for La Boca, Panama. The gasoline schooner Connor will soon be placed on the run between Portland and Yaquina Bay. She is a small vessel of but seventy tons ca pacity, and will be used mostly to carry supplies to the mills of the Waldport Lumber Co., at Alsea, and will bring back farm produce. The steamer Asuncion arrived at Port Harford on Thursday, from Portland. The steamer Tallac, from the Co lumbia arrived at San Francisco, yesterday. One of the most fruitful sources of news of thrilling experiences, is a gathering of seafaring men. The ex periences that many ot them go through would turn the average man s hair gray in the time it takes them to laugh at the "little incident." The marine reporter's hair is not yet gray but its rigidity was heightened by a story he heard yesterday in which Capt. Reed, of the Wallula, figured. "Speaking of exeprience on the bar," said one of the pilots, "they talk of captains and pilots not crossing when it's rough. Bah I I. was at the dock one day when the news was brought to Capt. Reed that a three-master was outside and wanted to get in. Reed had steam up on the Wallula, and jumping aboard he gave one blast and. ringing full speed ahead, started for' her. When he reached the bar he found it pretty rough. We were watching him through the glass and saw him go through what I would call well, he had a time of it all right. He fastened to the jammer and started in. Coming over, that CHINESE NEW YEAR. Opening of the Festive Season With Much Noise and Hilarity. At midnight last night the Chinese New Year was ushered in by our Celestial population. Fire crackers galore were exploded and prepara tions for a good time, today, were be ing made all evening. Today is the Chinese new year, the great day of the year and it will be fittingly celebrated. The festivities will not assume the proportions of other years, owing to the facMhat money is not as plentiful as usual with the Chinese, who, like many of the white folks, are unemployed and have made little during the fishing season. Today will be the one day of the celebration , and will be devoted to a general good time, no business being done. After today, however, business will go on as usual, though the usual visiting, and celebrating, will continue for a time, dependant upon the amount of money the ecle brator has to spend.. A prominent Chinese merchant said, last night, that about four days will see the end, and that on Tuesday night, if weath er conditions are good, the .final send off of fire crackers will occur. If Tuesday night is 1ot fair the noise will be postponed until Wednesday night and the joyous, and it might be said, noisy season will close. It has been generally understood among the white people that at this 'season carte blanche is extended to the public to enter and inspect all narts of the Chinese quarter and ad vantage has been taken of the sup posed freedom offered. The Chinese are elad to have their white friends call on them, but would rather that strangers xwould not intrude on their nrivacv as has been done in the past, partly through the mistaken idea of many, regarding "open house, ana partly through idle curiosity. All are welcome to visit the stores but the line is drawn at private apartments. Chinatown contains many intelligent Chinamen, who speak English well and who will explain with pleasure the different features of the celebra tion. NO MORE CATARRH. T.
