OCEAN, BAR,
BAY,
The French brk Bossuet, now in
port, nd just from Newcastle, with
a cargo of coal for Hind, Rolfe &
Company, of Portland, will be dock
ed t the Elmre bunker today,
weather permitting, to discharge
1000 tons of anthracite for G. W.
Sanborn. She will be the first ship
to engage the new hoists and appa
ratus there, and there is much inter
est afoot to see how it will all work.
The Brown McCabe Company, Cap
tain Ritchie, will attend to the un
loading. The fine San Francisco tug Her
cules arrived down the river yester
day with oil barge No. 91 on her
hawsers and will depart for the Bay
City when the present gale subsides.
Captain Dan Thompson of the Her
cules, and one of the oldest and abl
est tag masters on the Pacific Coast,
was in the city all day yesterday,
meeting and greeting a host of old
time mariner friends, and others
who have known and appreciated
him for long years.
The steamer Lurline was down on
schedule time last evening, despite
the gale that prevailed in her very
teeth for the last 30 miles of her
voyage from Portland, and went
back at 7 o'clock, with plenty of
business. She took with her, as pas
sengers, "Jim" Wallace, A. G. Starr,
Miss H. E. Detz, Senator and Mrs.
J. G. Megler and Mr. and Mrs. W.
H. McFarland Day Clerk Harold

Interesting Pisrore.
"The Call of the Wild", a moving
picture which undoubtedly originat
ed from Robert Edson's succesful
"Strongheart," is being shown at the
Grand theatre the first part of this
week. The picture tells a story of
a young Indian who gained fame as
a hero in a college football game.
He comes in contact with a dis
tinguished army officer who intro
duces the young back to his daugh
ter. The Indian falls in love with
the young lady and asks her to be
come his wife; she refuses, he then
becomes desperate and responds to
the "call of the wild" where he re
joins his own kind, and seeks to for
get his sorrow with over-indulgance
in firewater. In this he is not suc
cessful and while in a fit of passion
he induces his followers nnder his
command to kidnap the girL ' His
plan carries out but just as he se
cures his prize, the girl recalls his
college life where he had made such
an excellent record and good" name
for himself. She pleads with him
and finally induces him to allow ber
to return to her father's home.
The picture is intensely interest
ing and exciting throughout and is
probably one of the best seen In
this city for some time. Tonight
will be the last opportunity to wit
ness "The Call of the Wild" and it
is, well worth the time of anyone to
pay the Grand a visit. The balance
of the program is also above the ordinary.

THOUGH PUBLIC SERVANTS,
THEY SIMPLY CANT KEEP
OUT OF POLITICS.
The pernicious activity of a few
of the men employed by the city in
one department or another in the
local campaign has been the cause
of remark for the past several
weeks.
Just why certain men in the fire
and police departments, for direct
example, should put themselves to
the front in fighting Mr. Elmore and
the other Republican candidates will
of course, not be plain except to
those who are familiar with certain
political and other conditions.
The good men of these depart
ments seem to know enough to act
as such public servants ought, but
others seem to think that their
chances for continuation in office
depend upon the election of the
Democrat or Citixens' ticket. Of
course it is known that they have
evidently thought they were going all
this so autetly that it would never
reach , the ears of the Republicans.
Yet it has been the talk of the town
One prominent officials has whis
pered the "sympathy" racket where
ever he could.
Probably if some of these men
would only take a casual glance at
the Huntley corrupt practice act
they might have a fit instanter.
Besides even good, substantial
business men when elected to office
But if these few men remain rea
sonably and decently inconspicuous
in their political leanings they cer
tainlv will have no reason to fear
Mr. Elmore or others of his admin
istratlon, in case of their etection.

CITY PRINTING 11
BE LET AGAIN
ORDINANCE TO BE INTRO.
DUCED AT NEXT MEETINO
CALLING FOR BIDS.
At the next meeting of the com
mon council an ordinance will be
introduced calling for bids for the
city printing for a term of two or
three years.
The present city printing contract
was originally granted to C. J. Cur
tis, who in turn assigned it. The
terms are 40-20 that is," 40 cents for
the first insertion of an inch of non
pareil type, or its equivalent, and 20
cents for every subsequent insertion.
The other general printing required
by the city is done at certain stipu
lated rates, and like the present 40
20 rate may be deemed a fairly low
rate for such public printing. Usual
ly a 30-15 rate for city printing Is
deemed a low rate. Some cities on
the Pacific Coast are now paying as
much as 80-40, while, 60-30 Is not
uncommon.

bound express came up from Sea

ing him, MeFarlane. to escape the
train, stepped off on one side of the
treitllng, thinking to find footing on
the dock alongside, and plunged
down into the river along with a
heavy suitcase he was carrying.
He gave a sharp cry as he went
down, and instantly there were
scores of men on the spot to aid
him back to safety. He was hauled
up alright, but the suitcase was
total loss, or it to this hour, at any
rate, though it may be found later.
Mr. MeFarlane was taken to the
Lurline office and made as comfort
able as possible until the steamer ar

retired in warm garments and a
warm berth. The incident accen

of railings about the open spaces
