TATOOSH HAS LINE ON KELTON WAS HEADING FOR HARBOR WITH HER LAST NIGHT MA RINE MOVEMENTS IN ASTOR IA WATERS YESTERDAY. The derelict steamer Minnie E. Kelton up to noon yesterday, was moving about the inner waters of the Columbia river bar with the wash and the tides and shortly after that, got in the way of the steamer Northland, Captain Ericson, and she had to take the edge of the channel in circum venting her. She was then at a point a little to the landward of Buoy No. 6. Later in the afternoon Captain Bailey, of the bar tug Tatoosh, got a line on her, and at 7 o'clock last even ing was holding his own against the ebb-tide, and beating slowly into port. When last heard from he was off Buoy No. 12, opposite Fort Stevens. It is no surprise to anyone in this city who knows the master of the "Tat", and he will make a clean show ing on this job if he gets the ship inside, as she was notoriously aban doned at the last account anyone had of her before he hooked on to her; unless it shall develop that he is do ing the work at the behest of. the Underwriters at San Francisco; but at this writing there is no way of verifying such a conclusion. There is a very handsome speed boat on the ways at the R. M. Leathers yards just now, for which Dr. Vaughn and a friend are respon sible. They intend to have the crack boat of these waters from the looks of the thing, the West Butte and all the rest of the flyers to the contrary notwithstanding. She is copper fas tened and of fine materials and has some dainty and promising lines al ready in view. Captain Tom Latham, the well known mariner of this port, made the trip to Newport, with the motor launch Lady Marie, in just 14 hours, and was back in this port after an absence of but 39 hours. He caught an for Albany, and rolled in there just in time to catch the overland express for Fortland, and connected there with the Sunday evening train to this city. The steamer Spencer arrived in on time yesterday, with about 40 people for Astoria, including an unfortunate, from Skamokawa, by the name of Brooks, who was on a stretcher with a broken leg, the result of a wagon accident and a kicking horse up there. Mr. Richard Strait of that town was also a passenger. Word reached this city yesterday that the "scow belonging to Charles Larson, of the Schmidt cold storage plant, which was on duty at the fish ing grounds at Fuget Island, was burned to the water's edge on Mon day afternoon, being a total loss with all the fixtures and gear on board. The British ship Kelburn came down from Portland on the hawsers The implied criticism contained in the statement in yesterday's Astorian to the effect that there was delay in turning in the alarm of lire at the Twelfth street blaze because of slow telephone service, has brought out the following communication from Chief Foster 'of the fire department: "Kditor Astorian: "In your report of the fire pub lished in this morning's paper I feel that an injustice has been done the' night operator of the telephone com pany. I desire to state that the nhirm was received at fire department head quarters over the telephone and the alarm was transmitted to the differ- cut houses throngh the transmission box located there,, and not from the street box as the article states. hope that you will publish this in jus tice to the operator. "Yours very truly, "C. E. FOSTER, "Chief Engineer, Fire Dept." It is apparent that Chief Foster's statement may be entirely true anil yet there may have been delay. The reporter for the Astorian wrote just what he was told. Mr. Carlson, pro prietor of the "Our Corner" saloon.lt states that he saw the incipient blaze and tried to get central. After vain ly trying several times he gave it up and ran out to waken the people in the Johnson rooming house. Then his barkeeper grabbed the telephone crank, and he assert that he had trouble in getting central, and only did so after ringing "three or four times." Meantime the night bar tender at the Sunnyside saloon was also trying to get central and he says that he also had serious trouble in setting connection. He also had to of the Harvest Queen, which also had . rjng "three or four times." These j men say that the ringing three or four times took several minutes, or "three or four minutes." The Astor ian did state that the alarm was final ly turned in over the call box. This evidently was error, as Chief Foster naturally would know, but it received this information on what then ap peared good authority, which, how ever, proves erroneous; though that has apperently nothing to do with the question of turning in the alarm over the telephone system. Whether this was done speedily or slowly The Astorian does not know, and it simply repeated what these several gentlemen said. on board a big lot of local freight. The Kelburn will take flight today for Europe, with her big lumber cargo, part of which she takes from the Hammond mills at the Tongue. The fine lighthouse tender Ar meria, Catain William F. Gregory, got away for Alaska last evening at exactly 7 o'clock. She will be gone for two full months and carries pro visions, mail and all manner of sup plies to all the Alaskan lightships and station. Bon Voyage! The handsome tender Columbine, Captain Charles Richardson, went to Portland early yesterday and will return down diately with supplies for the lower coast stations, notably for Cape Arago. A wireless from the oil steamer Col. E. L. Drake has been received in this city, via the United Wireless, saying that she broke a blade from her propeller' when 20 miles south of Cape Mears. She is bound into Seattle. The engineering department of the dredger William S.

S. & M. than to pay half price for ordinary makes. Why is this so? Simply because H. S. & M. Suits are made of the best qual ity all-wool materials by expert tailors and in style, fit and fiiuish, lead all others. They are guaranteed to wear well, and if they don't hold their shape and color, you get a new suit free. Why buy inferior makes?
