Pilot No. 2 out on her trial run yes
terday forenoon, and without crowd
ing her any, got 11 miles out of her
easily; so easily that she may be
counted a safe 12-mile boat. The
carpenters and upholsterers have a
bit of work to do on her yet, and by
the first of the week she will be
placed in commission by Captain
Keating and put on the bay as a gen-
enral utility craft, such as her pre
decessor, Pilot, has always been and
it goes without saying, with all her
accommodations and comfort and
speed, she will be a prime favorite
with excursion parties and individuals
who are in any sort of hurry to reach
a given point in default of regular
transportation that has been missed
or other any circumstances where a
good boat may be needed for lively
service. She is the finest of her class
on the lower Columbia, despite the
fact that this bay and river is full
of spanking good launches.
The steamship Breakwater is due
down from Portland this morning
early and will leave the O. R. & N.

a long time the reputation of the
house has been of the best and it
does not wane as time progresses.
The system used, that of furnishing
the f nest the market affords, and all
can be obtained, in season, is a plan
that will always win, coupled as it is
with the best of cooking and prompt
service. A common saying nowadays
is "Get the Palace habit"

known, a large business is done at the
Commercial, on Commercial street,
near Eleventh.
