Ship Andorinha in From Peru Was
the Vessel the Tatoosh Went After
Yosemite Arrive In Fenwick
Calls For Her Raft
. fhe fine British bark Andorinha,
from Iquiqui, Peru, entered port yes
terday afternoon, in ballast, for Port
land, where she will load grain out
for Europe, at the instance of Kerr,
Gifford & Company. Captain Grif
feths reports that his ship was the
one reported inshore on the Wash
ington coast, some miles above the
mouth of the Columbia, on Wednes
day last. He says he got a bit too far
in on Tuesday, in a drift, there being
practically no wind at all, and let go
both anchors. During Tuesday night
he hove them up, but the wind did
not serve him, and he let go once
more, trying it over again on Wed
nesday afternoon. During the fore
noon of Wednesday the steam
schooner Doris pased him, within
hail, bound south, and signals passed
between them. The Doris asked where
eh was bound and Capt. Griffeths in
formed him, when the master of the
Doris gave him his bearings, and
said he would report hint to the
lightship at the Columbia or to any
other vessel of this port he met They
separated and the Doris kept word
with him and this was the cause of
the Pulitzer's signalling for the tug,
and Tatoosh's trip up the coast; but
when Captain Bailey arrived in the
neighborhood, the Andoirnha had
gotten her anchors up and gone to
sea. She fetched too far to the
south'ard, and made port easily yes
terday. She will go on up the river
today if the Harvest Queen comes
down. The Andorinha is one of the
biggest square-riggers to enter this
port in many a day. She registers
3187 tons, and her master reports her
as very foul with barnacles.
The steamer Yosemite came in yes
terday from Gray's arbor, with part
cargo of lumber, and hauled along
side the barge Nehalem, from the
Wheeler mills at Nehalem, and began
loading the 350,000 feet of lumber
brought here for her. She will finish
at Portland, and on her way down
will take the Benson raft now waiting -
at the Stella cradles, and convey the
whole business to San Diego.

The handsome little steamer Pa
trol is being subjected to a general

on her compensates for the labor
bestowed.
The steamship Rose City will be
down at 3 p. m. today and will leave
the O. R. & N. piers for San Fran
cisco at 4 o'clock precisely.. She is
full to her last state-room and berth,
and those sailing from here had to
secure their berths when she was in
this port last Monday and before she
went up the river.
The Callender steamer Mayflower
had a tusselwith a big barge of slab
wood out in the bay yesterday after
noon, the barge breaking away from

back up the bay on the flood; but she
was rapidly rounded up and taken to
her destination alright

At the last meeting of the city
council the question of the height of
the crown upon one of the new streets
was touched upon for a moment. The
specifications called for a crown of
eight inches, and there was a request
that it be raised to 12 inches. JSoinc
deemed the eight inches high enough;!
others thought the 12 too high
tough the specifications were changed
to that figure.
As a result of the recent Good
Roads meeting in Fortland there is a j
renewed interest in all matters per
taining to streets and country roads,
and the crown plays such an import
ant part in the making of a good
street that it is well worthy of much
consideration.
"Astoria's streets are altogether
too flat," said a gentlemen yesterday
who is conversant with such matters. I
The idea of an eight or even twelve- J
inch crown is all but preposterous.
for a citv like Astoria, where the ram 1
fall is so great. If there is one thing I
absolutely required in he making of
a good road, it is a high crown. And
the very last thing, it seems, for many
communities to learn is this self-same
necessity for a high crown. Twenty
inches is considered nothing in cities
where fine streets are the rule and
not the exception. Oftentimes you
will see 22 inches in the crown of a
street not more than 35 feet in width,
and here they have been using eight
and twelve inches in a 50-foot thor
oughfare, and in a country with an
exceptional rainfall."
This gentleman's arguments are
thorouehlv borne out by the streets

where the art of making fine roads
and streets is carried on in a wonder
fully successful manner. There the
high crowns are always to be seen.
A low crown is at once saia to ue
"money simply wasted." For ex
ample, one sees' twenty-inch crowns
even on asphalt pavements, and on
streets not 50 feet wide. In Southern
California oil is constantly used in
street making, and is often preferred
to asphalt even if the cost of the two
were to be the same. Yet, even in
that dry country, where for six
months at a time there won't be a
drop of rain, the comparatively flat
streets wouldn't be tolerated.
A glance at the streets in and
around Astoria will show how flat
many of them are; in fact, because of
the material used in their construc
tion here, even if they are built with
a small crown, it usually wears down
after a year or two, thus leaving the
street as flat as a board a mud pud
dle in winter, and a dust pile in sum
