THE MORNING ASTORIAN, ASTORIA, OREGON. SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1908. WATERFRONT ITEMS Rose City Leaves Out on Her Return Voyage. WHY THOMSON MADE HASTE Cambrian Kine and T. B. Stetson Finish Loading at Tongue Point D.'n Mill Liffhtshio No. 50 Goes Back to Her Duty Odds and Ends, There is a jolly old sea-dog here about who told a reporter of the Morning Astorian yesterday that he never could understand the extraordi nary anxiety of Captain Thomson, of the British ship Claverdon, to get away from here and head out for home, until " he saw the following statement in a paper the genial cap tain had been reading in his office, lately, and had thrown aside; and the aforesaid o.s.d. alleges that the Claverdon's master is" now crowding aU said to get into English waters before the institution named below, fails, or burns up or otherwise dis sipates its stock. What the British Inland Revenue authorities themselves describe as the largest bonded warehouse in the wareohuse in the world, was opened in. Glasgow on August 17 by Messrs. Jas. Buchanan & Co., the distillers of "Black and White" whisky. The ware housing capacity is 20,000 butts, rep resenting 17,600,000 pints of whisky. The capacity for turning out spirit is also great One week's output is equivalent to a pile of cases four deep reaching to the height of Ben Nevis, a matter of 4406 feet . There are two blending vats of tuge proportions, ca pable of holding 20,000 gallons apiece. The total contents of the vats in the blending department is 70,000 gallons. The warehouse when full wil hold 13,200,000 bottles, of whisky. If an army of 20,000 men were each given one ordinary measure of whisky per day the supply would last them for over 30 years. The contents of the bottles and vats would (ill an aver age sized like, in which one of our biggest warships could easily float Nearly 1000 hands are employed, and each individual deals with some thing like half ft million bottles per annum. The duty payable on spirits in the warehouse when full is 500,000. Captain James Keating's handsome and commodious gas motor launch, Pilot No. 2, slipped from the ways at Leathers' yards yesterday morning at 11 o'clock, and rode the placid Bosom of the Columbia like a swan. The Astorian recently described this fine piece of marine architecture, and it is enough to say now, that she is one of the crack boats of the lower river, and will give a fine account of herself today when Mr. Troyer and Captain Keating, with a party of friends, shall send her to Cathlamet Bay and back on her trial trip, with her beautiful Troyer engine exerting its SO horsepower in the undertaking. Liahtship No. SO was put back on her station outside the Columbia river har vrsterdav at noon, the Armeria leading completely overhauled and re paired after her rough house contact with the ship Port Patrick; and will do duty regularly until something else untoward befalls her. The next square-riggers that are looked for in this port, that is, im mediately, are the British bark Cal luna, 73 days out from Newcastle, N. S. W, with Captain Barhara on the bridge; and the British ship Largie more, Captain Spencer," commanding, 61 days from the same port The Rose City left out from the O. R. & N. piers yesterday morning, with 90 passengers and every ton of freight s.Ne could carry; having left 600 tons on the docks a.t Portland. She is finishing her maiden run in this service, and has made an en viable imoresoion of the traveling public and at her ports of call. She is a fine running mate for the Sena tor, which will dock here tomorrow evening. The O. R. & N. towing steamers Queen and Oklahama are both on their way down the river with tows from the metropolis; the former having the French bark Versailles on her haw sers, and the fetter's charge cannot be named, u no one here has heard just what vessel it is. The steamer J. B. Stetson has com pleted her lumber cargo at the Tongue Point mills dock and will sail for San Francisco today today, if weather conditions permit. The fine British steamship Cam brian King has finished loading at the Tongue Point mills and hauled into the stream. When she came into the harbor she had 1,300,000 feet of red wood loaded at Eureka. She took on 1,175,000 feet of fir at the Tongue Point Lumber Company's dock and drew 22i feet of water and went out without a hitch. Whik this loading was not experimental it proves the falsity of the oft-repeated assertion that a deep sea craft could not be fully loaded at the Tongue Point dock. She will probably get away to Nanaimo today, for coal; and thence on to Melbourne, Australia, The Astorian predicted in the ma rine column, of Friday, that, in the even tof the non arrival on time of the Emily Reed that the Henry Vil lard would be chartered by the Alaska Fishermen's Packing Association. The prediction was correct as, yesterday, the charter was closed and the latter named vessel will be substituted for the Emily Reed. " TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY. Take LAXATIVE BROMO Quinine Tablets.
