The Zephyr, a little steam launch, has been placed in the passenger and freight service between Ilwaco and Astoria, and already has made sev eral daily runs. Captain Waters of Ilwaco is in command of the Zephyr, and he believes that an ex cellent business awaits his venture, for since the Nahcotta was taken off from the Ilwaco run there has been a constant need of daily communica tion between the two places. Captain Waters says he will soon have a larger vessel for the business, one . that will have ample seating of sufficient dimensions to take care of and protect the freight in bad weather. The boat for Ilwaco will leave As toria every afternoon. . From 5 several letters that have reached Astoria it is evident that the Roanoke had a pre'tty rough voyage on her wav south on the last trip. The letters complained mostly of the sea-sickness that prevailed among the feminine passengers, and one of them also stated that one of the ship's boats was stove in, which fact indicates pretty bad weather. JACKIES ENJOYING SHORE LEAVE MEN FROM THE TORPEDO BOATS HAVING A GOOD TIME IN A QUIET WAY. ARE GUARDING THEIR NETS ARMED WITH MAGAZINE RIFLES AND HEAVY . RE. VOLVERS. The bar tug Astoria came into the harbor yesterday from Gray's Har bor, and this morning will take out the new hull that has been built by the Leathers' Company for parties up the coast. The hull wil be taken to Gray's Harbor where the engines will be installed. The Astoria js known to almost every man who fol lows the sea in these parts and many looked her over with much interest yesterday. The Astoria was built in 1884 at North Bend, Ore. There was a surprising diversity in the bid's offered yesterday for the job of raising the Minnie E. Kelton, the steam schooner which lies submerged in the lower harbor. The lowest bid was just one-third the amount of the largest bid. The tenders were opened in the office of-P. L. Cherry yester day afternoon, and were as follows: Captain James McKenna, master of the vessel, $5000; Leander Lebeck, $8475; Willamette & Columbia River Ship Lining Company, $15,000; and H. H. Yankwich, of Portland, $12, 850. The bids are to be sent to the underwriters in San Francisco, prob ably by wire, and it is probable that tU arrentanre of One Of the D1QS will soon be announced. The West Coast Lumberman says: "The C. E. Burrows Lumber Com- oanv. Aberdeen, will be paid pro rata bv the owners of the steamer Minnie V.. Kelton for the lumber thev lost when that steamer went ' down off Willapa Harbor some time ago." The British steamer AUanton ar rived in over the bar last evening --and was held up by Dr. Holt, the quarantine officer, because she could not show a clean bill of health from San Francisco, her last port of call. Apparently because of the oversight A little boy who was eager to see the torpedo boats yesterday after noon tumbled off into the water as he was passing over the plank from the Goldsborough to the Rowan. He was fished out, however, none the worse for the episode other than the wetting. Visitors are welcome on the little war vessels from 1 o 5 o'clock in the afternoon; in the morning hours the vessels are closed to visi tors as the men are then engaged in cleaning up and performing other duties on board. The Fox and Davis, the two little torpedo boats stationed at Portland since the Rose Festival, are now not expected down until Friday or per haps Saturday, so that the two in the harbor will be here long enough for all to see that wish to. The men from the Rowen and Goldsboro are getting all the shore leave that is possible, and are appar ently enjoying themselves in fine shape. They are having a good time, but they are not evincing any desire to paint the town red and really have made an excellent impression around the city streets. The Chinese steward from the Rowan is the only man who has managed to get into any trouble, and the trouble that fell to him was not of his seeking. He hastened on shore to ereet some long lost cousins and old time friends among the Astoria Celestials and all was going well with him until an eagle-eyed emigra tion officer saw the strange China man and took him in tow instantly. The steward was marvelously indig nant; that he, a steward from one of the , United States naval vessels, should be taken up as a suspect. The nffirprs of the toroedo boats inter vened and soon had the steward at liberty again. of her agent there she left the Cali fornia oort without fumigation, and it will be necessary to fumigate her here. This will delay the Allanton in Astoria until perhaps rioon today making her lose about one full day. The Allanton evidently made a slow passage up from San Francisco, the trio taking her - 93 hours. She is under charter by the Pacific Export T.ntmher Comoanv and will load lumber at Portland for the Orient. TEA There's plenty of hum bug in tea; not one ounce in a ton Schilling's Best. Tour grocer returaa jtvt mmt It im 4tt it; wi s bin The steamer George W. Elder ar rived in vesterdav morn'me on her regular trip to Portland. The gasoline schooner Condor went to sea yesterday Portland to Walport. The steamer Yosemite went down and out yesterday on the way to San Francisco. The transport Sherman : left out yesterday on her way to Mare Island for repairs. p t Armed with magazine rifles and heavy revolvers strapped around their waists, two men are watching their nets out fronwSand Island, and it is evident they are both looking for trouble and will not run away from it if it comes. One of the men is J. N. Stensland, a well known fish erman whose residence is at Chinook, j and his companion is the boatpuller. The two men have set eight nets in front of the seining ground on Sand Island recently leased by the United States government to the Columbia River Packing Association, and are apparently resolved to back up what they evidently consider their rights i'n h nintrpr even if it involves bloodshed. The facts in the conten tion ay be briefly stated. It was the purpose of the Columbia River Packers' Association to run their seines out from the leased grounds. But the two fishermen have set their eight nets directly in the way, so that at long as their nets remain where they now are, it will be impossible for the association to use their seines in the waters in front of their leased seining grounds. The fishermen are said to admit that company may have a perfect right to the land on the Island which they have leased from the Federal govern ment, but the fishermen assert that the waters in front of ',. the leased ground are just as free to them now as ever. That is, they deny that the leasing of the land on the island car ries with it any exclusive right to the adjacent waters; and further more, that even if the Federal government had intended that the lease should carry with it the right to the adja cent waters, that such a lease would be null and void. The fishermen are apparently tak ing the ground that the waters of the river are entirely free, and that the United States government or no one else may claim any exclusive right to them. When Ole J. Settem, the water bailiff, ran near the two men yesterday he observed their make-up with no little astonishment. For a moment he didn't know whether they were pirates or not. One of the men hailed the water Damn in stentorian tones, at the same time, balancing his rifle in his hands. Mr. Settem kept on going, however, in spite of the guns and the war-like appearance of the men. They were attired something after the manner of the leading characters in The Sheriff,", the Wild West play now on the boards of the Hagar theatre, and with wide hats- and the array of shooting irons looked formidable enough to scare even the tars off a torpedo boat destroyer. The water bailiff wanted to know what was up. The fishermen told him. Mr. Settem pondered for a while and then came away; he didn't see that he could do anything, for though armed, the men did not carry con cealed weapons as far as he could observe. ," Just what the packers' association can do in the matter appears to be somewhat' problematical, though their attorneys may know just what move to make. But it is quite evi dent that Stensland and his ' com panion are prepared to make a bitter fight, and it was surmised by some last night that there is a probability that they are being "backed up by some one in the pending contention. i: men's and boys' clothi i: jteCf-:--; p things.
