The Lurline was on the dot last
evening and when she went up th:
river she had on her register, the
names of the following welt known
people: Dr. D. A. Went worth, G. B.
Selfridge and C. J. Knutson, all of
this city, While in port last night,
the following story leaked out: On
the way up the river on Thursday
night, last, three men got aboard at
Cathlamet, all drunk and with very
short change. The sum of wealth
mounted to exactly $1 and this was
given to Purser Harry Blanchard, or
rather his night representative, Mr.
Dalglish, and the trio was told to
get off at Stella. When the flagship
reached that place the gangplank was
run out for them, and two of the
three went ashore. The third man
however was of another notion and
refused to leave the deck, and em
phasized his refusal with an ugly
six-shooter. Sheriff M. R. Pomeroy,
of this city and county, happened to
be asleep In a stateroom up above
and word was passed to him of the
difficulty on the lower deck. He
immediately went into action and
disarmed the thug and carried him
ott to Portland, where, in the consul
tation that ensued on the way up,
the trouble-maker was allowed to go
(shore without his weapon and with- j
out further molestation, the question j
of actual jurisdiction having a good
deal to do with the clemency shown
in the premise. ,
The steamship Senator got away
from the O. R. & N. piers at 1
o'clock yesterday morning and went
to the lower harbor where she laid
until 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon
when she went to sea and the Cali
fornia coast It is not known, gen
erally, that a thief was captured on
the dock just before she left, but it
is so. He had stolen $40 from a
fellow passenger and tried to sneak
away on the big long pier, but when
he reached the dock, be took out
from the easterly run of the -timber
and when he found himself in the
cul-de-sac framed up by the great
doors at the end, he gave up and
turned the cash over to a friend of
the man who had lost it, and was
permitted to go back on the ship and
continued his voyage to the Bay
City.
The fine group of young gentlemen
representing the customs service in
this port are equipped for the winter
weather with new rubber cloaks, the
official button of the service being
conspicuous on the very useful gar
ment, the cape coming to the instep
and affording complete protection
against all kinds of weather, while
emphasizing the rank and duty of
the wearer.
When the Senator went to sea
yesterday afternoon, her passenger
list showed the following named
people from this city: Mrs. Frances
Whitman, Mrs. W. D. Fowler, J. F.
Browne and Mrs. Margaret Hume,
who, after a pleasant sojourn ' with
friends and relatives there, for a
month, intends to go on to the Sand
wich Islands for the winter. '
There is much anxiety in this port
over the fate of the Elmore motor
boa Gerald C which , left out of
Tillamook at 2:30 o'clock p. m. on
Friday last. She was caught in the
very heart of yesterday's gale, and
staunch as she is known to be, there
is ever the doubt that she may not
make it, even with the wide offing
she usually takes.
The steamer Alliance will be down
this forenoon, Coos bound as usual,
with Captain Parsons on the bridge,
and ex-Captain Ben Olseu in the
cabin. The latter will take com
mand of the "Nan Smith" at Marsh
field, and take her south. And she
will be in blamed good hands, it
that!
The steamship Geo. W. Elder ar
rived down at midnight last night,
having left Portland at 4 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, after coming
off the ways at St John's. She had
plenty of business on all decks, as
usual
The steamer Argo, the new Dun
ham finer, is doe to arrive is this
port today, and win go on to Port- i
land at once, where bar first cargo
awaits her." " '

anybody who has to buy Christmas presents for a man
young man or old knows how hard it is to find what he
really wants. Often its hard for him to say what he really'
wants; just get me some little thing, anything will do;
thats the way he's apt to talk.
Now there's two things to bear in mind in planning a
man's Christmas, if you're uncertain what he wants. . The
first is, you'd better buy it in a Men's store where he'd buy
his other things. The second is, he always wants new
handsome things to wear. If you start out with those two
things in mind you'll end by coming here, for this is head
quarters for men's things. You'll find any number of
Suitable gifts here, for men. We'll show you neckwear
that will please the taste of any man, rich silks hundreds of
shades and patterns. You'll be surprised to find how much
quality 50 cents will buy. and neckties are always acceptable
No man ever has more handkerchiefs than he wants, nor
more fine hosiery, suspenders, gloves, shirts, underwear,
hats, walking sticks and fancy waistcoats, we can think of
a lot of things for men that will make good Christmas
presents from 25 cents to $40.00.
