Needless Worry- Owing to the stupidity of some body over Tillamook-way, who, in answer to a telephonic inquiry from this city yesterday morning a to the whereabout of the motor schooner Delia, replied that "she had sailed from there on last Sunday morning, in! that no more wa known of her there," there was some real uneasi ness about the vessel and her people here, and for a time it wa a mooted question if it were not the better policy to have a revenue cutter de spatched to look for her. For four hour from Tillamook and four days from theer are wo very different stories and require adjudication of sonic sort in lively fashion. But at noon all solicitude was banished by the announcement that the Delia was safely in the lower harbor and an hour later she was at her berth at the O. R. & N. She had been in Tilla mook Bay ever since Sunday, and left there yesterday morning at 5 o'clock. More Deep-Sea Work- Mr. Obee, the gentleman who is sponsoring the deep-sea trawling out of this port and who, so far, has been notably successful with the Evie, will, while waiting for that vessel to be equipped with additional appurte nances, leave out on the Gerald C. today, and as she returns from Til lamook light, set his lighter trawling gear for several hauls, and expects to make it even better than he did on the Evie. He is not worrying over the details of the fish-market scrap that the Kopecks of Seattle arc waging against the Portland deal ers, lie is testing out ni gear in these waters and establishing busi ness precedent that may mean very much for Astoria at an early day. The people of Portland are weary of eating the stale fish furnished them from the Sound and San Francisco, and if this trick of fishing can be made to pay here, it will set up a revolution at the metropolis, where even the dread and dislike of Astoria may not prevail against her supplying that field with fresh fish daily and even more frequently.

She has been here several hours waiting for Captain Archie Pease to meet her and pilot her up the river. He arrived down, on the night train and the ship will start up this morning. It is quite in order for the Portland papers to do their usual stunt about the "wretched delays these vessels meet with down at Astoria." The schooner H. K. Hall, one of the rare five-masters on this coast, is now 18 days out from San Diego, and still buckine head-winds toward this port. This, in contra-distinction to the news just received from the south that the schoners Virginia and Min- dora made it hence to San Francisco and San Pedro in three, and six days, respectively.

It is a mistake to allow rheumatism to become chronic as the pain can always be relieved and in most cases a cure effected by applying Chamber lain's Pain Balm. The relief from pain which it affords is alone worth many times its cost It makes sleep and rest possible. Even in cases of long standing this liniment should be used on account of the relief which it affords. 25 and 50 cent sizes for sale by Frank Hart and leading druggists. Sore Nipples.
