SVEA IN FROM THE BAY CITY Aurelia Gets the Hard Shoulder from the St Helens Lurline Back on Run Today Odds and Ends Along : the Docks. The Alaska fleet from the Columbia river, the American ships Henry Vil lard, St Nicholas, and Berlin, are Dractcially ready for the high seas and the far north. The Berlin is in the stream, and the Villard is at the A. & C. docks gathering up the loose . . i . . . t - f ends and making things snug for the voyage, while the St Nicholas is at the Can docks taking on small stuff and battening down her hatches; and all will go over the bar tomorrow sometime, if the weather or other un- .forseen emergencies do not arise to deter them. The St Nicholas will take out with her the fine new 38-foot launch "Success," launched last Satur day from the yards of Charles Wilson and which will be used as a cannery tender and despatch boat by Super intendent 0. L. Belland during the northern season. The St. Nicholas will leave the dock direct for sea and ; will have 90 white people on board, including Mrs. Captain Antonson and Mrs. L. O. Belland; 45 Japanese, and ' 57 Chinamen, 192 in all. That Captain Frye, of the Berlin had been supplanted by any other master, as has been reported on the streets and in the press, is due to that old sailor's relish for a joke. He goes north as the master of the Ber lin, alright. And he isn't carrying any carrier-pigeons, either; that was another of his freaky jokes, with small substance to it in the shape of a coop of shanghaied doves from the Portland docks. But it made a de cent story all the same. The Villard will take the stream this morning at 9 o'clock, and" drop down to Flavel, from whence she will take bar despatch the first possible . moment tomorrow, or later if neces sary. Her tender, the NoVth Star, with Superintendent Berglund and others on board, will leave out some- The Store 'KJ4r Ladies FOR Women BEEllgSSHIVE Outfitters New Departure at the Bee Hive We have added an extensive and elegant Hne of Ladies' Dresses, Jumper Suits, Princess Dresses and Shirt Waist Suits in silk, voiles, rajahs and chiffon panamas.

The steamer Svea arrived in port yesterday morning at an early hour, from San Francisco, and went direct to the Tongue Point mills dock, where she will load outward for the return trip. The steamer Nome City was among the down river arrivals on Sunday last leaving out almost immediately for San Francisco, after a brief call at the Callender dock. The steamer Aurelia arrived down from Portland on Sunday morning, bound for San Francisco, with a cargo of lumber, and while lying at the Callender dock received a shoulder-blow from the steamer St. Helens which had followed her down the river on the same voyage. It seems the St. Helens in an effort to get by the French bark Marechal Davout Wine at anchor in the stream, was swune too close, by the bay-inset . . . 1 f .1 ---.f nt tli CitV tnai manes iur "w alonir that particular channel-reach, and could not scrape clear of the Au relia at her breth. The collision opened upon some of the stern seams of the Aurelia just a fraction, but did no damage to her shafting, propeller, nor oower. She was promptly and nrnnerlv surveyed, and what leaks were discoverable, were carefully ....j mA cVio was sent on to the Bv Citv under escort of the St. Helens,, with the understanding that the latter vessel is to pass her a line, in the event she needs it from any rause whatever. It was one of those unavoidable accidents that not infre nuentlv happen to masters and ships and which with the fine weather pre- ;, Utelv to amount to anything serious. Both vessels pass ed out on Sunday evening. ' TTn;.i Wirplpss neoole on X 1IC . . - - ' Smith's Point nicked up the Geo.

The Elder was asked if either of them had seen anything of the Mon tara. and answered in the negative. They kept their word and both dock ed here before 11 o'clock, with 'plenty' of passengers and good loads 'tween decks. The Elder went on to the metropolis at 10:30, but the Sena tor will wait for the quarantine in spector's visit this morning. The steamship Breakwater came in from Coos Bay on Sunday morning as usual, and proceeded to Portland and make your selection of f The Elmore motor schooner Gerald C, arrived in on Sunday from Tilla mook with cannery stuff and is un loading at the Elmore dock. The steamer Sue'll. Elmore will arrive down from Portland this even ing, on her way to Tillamook City and Garibaldi. ' ' Word came down from the Port land office of the Kamm line yester day, that the steamer Lurline. newly painted, overhauled, with new cylin ders, and generally in the pink of condition, will be down on today's run, having just been successfully tried cut on the Vancouver run. She looks like a new boat, it is said, with her new decking, ne wtimbers, new furniture, comforts and conveniences. her new decking, new timbers, new make her the fastest thing on the river. , The Babbidge steamer, R. Miler, made her initial run on the Astoria- Cathlamet route, yesterday and the reports are very satisfactory to all concerned. She is in prime conditiou and will handle all the business that finds its way to her landings. The little 7-ton schooner "Kinney," William Veseth, master and owner, cleared from the custom house here yesterday for the Ketchikan waters in Alaska. Captain Veseth goes north on a fishing venture, and will cross out today or tomorrow. The schooner Alvena arrived in on Sunday last from Redondo, for lum ber and will load out her return cargo at Goble. The steamer Alliance was a Sunday get-away for Coos Bay ports; and was carrying well in her cabins and hold, when she left the Callender dock. A PRE-PRIMARY VISIT. Geo. S. Shepherd, Candidate For Congress, in the City. Geo. S. Shepherd, the well known Portland attorney and candidate for Congressional honors from the Sec ond District of Oregon, was in the city yesterday on his last visit before the coming primaries and seems to be cheerful over his prospects. In conversation with an Astorian report er, later vesterday afternoon, Mr. Shepherd said, in part: "I am finding encouragement in my campaign far beyond my most san- euine expectations. In Eastern Ore gon I found the people were greatly interested in the improvement of the Columbia river bar and seemed to especially associate me with that work as I am making a campaign on this issue. I have received many letters from that section and they are very encouraging. The people of the west ern end of the district have not had : Congressman for 24 years and as all appropriations originate in the Lower House they feel the necessity of hav ing a Congressman at this time. If we delay deepening the water on the har the North Bank Raifroad will build down the other side of the Co lumbia and ship their freight from Puget Sound. With 44 feet of water on the bar all this' trade will be ship. tied from here. I feel with my fa miliarity with river conditions can accomplish more for the people of this district than a representative from Eastern Oregon." KNOWS IT TO A TO Z.

The regular service which Captain Babbidge will conduct began under favorable omens. Through our committee, Mr. C. H. Curtis, chair man, all of the merchants of the city have agreed to patronize this boat continuously. Everybody who under-. stands tile situation predicts that this service inaugurated by Captain Bab bidge will be a business success and the members of the Chamber of Commerce should keep a carejul eye upon it, especially those of them who are merchants so that they may see any possible work that can further encourage this important movement in case further encouragement is needed.
