The fine British steamship Katanga, 12 days out from Guaymas, Mexico, crossed in yesterday at noon, with Captain James McBride on the bridge. The Kantanga had strong nor'west west gales all the way up, as far as Cape Blanco, when they subsided a bit She made the Columbia bar yes terday morning at 6 o'clock, and look ed in vain for the pilot boat, which was probably to seaward in the dense fog that was reported by everything that entered port yesterday before noon. Captain McBride says he made several out-runs in search of the Pulitzer, but failed to see her; then he went under the lee of the light ship and megaphoned a lot of in quiries to her, but failed to elicit any notice, according to his story of it. Then he made up his mind to come in and this he did working his ship to quarantine ground on the bar and channel buoys without any trouble. He was in water ballast and light. Unfortunately, every pilot on the bar was charged with orders for him to proceed to Seattle, te- load grain out for the Orient, and the bar tug mas ters were also waiting to hand him these at sea, but he missed them all, and will probably leave out this morn ing for the Sound. The Katanga is in splendid shape and a heavy carrier and Captain McBride and his officers are a cordial and pleasnt lot. 21 Quarantine Officer Dr. J. M. Holt went to Portland on the steamer Chas. R. Spencer yesterday afternoon and will be absent until after the "glorious Fourth."

Manager Jones, of the Rothschild stevedorinar firm arrived in the city vesterdav to look over the company's affairs and he intimates that there is to be plenty doing in his line and by his comoanv in the near future, but he was not amenabel to any sort of pumping and the real signincance statement wil have to be waited tor.

The incorporators of the Oregon & Sea Coast Railway Company have completed their corporation and Mr. H. G. Van Dusen and Mr. E. Z. Fer- mison were annomtea to open tne Stock book and receive subscriptions to the Capital Stock. For the information of that portion of the public that are not already familiar with the circumstances it U here stated that this corporation is formed for the express purpose of causing a survey to be made from Astoria to Seaside and probably from Seaside to Tillamook, and to obtain the right of way along said surveyed line. After the survey and the right of way have been obtained the Comp any will enter into a contract with some party or parties, by which it will agree to-convey this right of way to them, when they have con structed an electric railroad to Sea side, or to Tillamook as the case may be. The stockholders of this corpora tion will all be local residents of As- etoria, Seaside and Tillamook, and the corporation a strictly home con cern. It is the intention hat this survey and right of way shall remain the absolute property of this home comany until an electric road shall be completed to Seaside. The Canital Stock of the corpora tion is $10,000, and although Mr. Van Dusen and Mr. Ferguson have anly devoted a few hours to the matter there is now subscribed over $2,000. It is believed that the best interest of the community will be served by spreading this stock generally through the County so that all will be interested in the road, and it is therefore requested that anyone will ing to subscribe stock in this corpora tion will call at the office of Van Dusen & Co. where the books will be open for this purpose. Mr. Van Dusen and Mr. I-erguson say that wnne tney are more man willine to solicit stock subscriptions their business interests make it im possible for them to give the matter all of their time, and that as the pntire Countv and every individual in it is or should be interested in this matter, they trust that the people will come forward voluntarily. It is verv important that no time be lost and that the surveyors be gotten in the field at once. It is the intention to call a stock holders meeting just as soon as suf ficient of the stock, not less than one half, has been subscribed and every tockholder will have the opportun ity of being present, assisting in electing the board of directors and determining on the course to be tol lowed by the corporation.

At the meeting this morning the pnn cipal subject to be discussed will be the county roads. Judge Trenchard went to Seaside again yesterday, this time going on the north side of the Necanicum, and he said yesterday that he. believes it the best plan that a bridge be constructed over the mouth of the Necanicum. This win require a bridge about one-half mile long, a pretty expensive propoition, but once constructed it will open up the long and beautiful beach road to beasule Variou small towns are making ap peals for roads to connect from the beach to the county road, three or four in all. but it is probable that the county court will not see its way clear to construct these connecting thoroughfares for some time to come.
