I t is rumored that the steamer Presi dent will leave Portland for Coo« bay and way porta in the near future. We cannot get any confirmation of the ru mor, hut hope that the Portland mer chants will wake up and secure a permanent steamer on the Coos hay route. Atiout seven years ago Portland discovered Coos hay, ami at irregular intervals since that time there haa been steamer communication between tlie bay and that place, and although tlie Coos hay merchants have shown a wil- lingnens to trade with Portland, they have been handicapped by the fact that if an order was given for goods there was not any certainty as to the delivery of the same, unless by way of San Francisco. We understand that there is at present lying in ttie Portland ware house quite a large lot of goods marked for tlie bay, but there seem« to lie no move ma*te by tlie merchant« of ttiat town to deliver goods. How they ex pect to do business on Coos bay under existing conditions is a puzzle. S1OO R E W A R D S1OO.

After several delays from various causes ttie Bella started on her first trip Tuesday, Nov. 23rd. The Robert» towed a ecow load oi rock down the river early in the morning and went out acroaa the bar to ascertain the depth of water before trying to take out the schooner. On her return to Florence just before arriving at the wharf the gave three whistles aa a signal that conditions were favorable for tlie Bella to get out in aafety. Nearly all tlie men in town and seiaral ladiee gathered on the wharf during the few minutes oc cupied in taking on a supply of wood for the Rohurts and many went down to see tlie fine vessel cross tlie bar and hoist liar sails for her first voyage. Some hard work waa done in tlie laat few minutes to get some freight on board for shipment. About ten o’clock Captain Johnson of the Roberta gave orders to let go all lines and both tug and schooner were soon moving toward the ocean, tlie latter with («.m ast flying and dipping her flag in farewell salute. The bar waa croaaed without mishap after which the hawser was cast off and tlie Bella departed on her maiden voyage. She carries qnite a valuable cargo, consisting among other thing, of apples, lumber, several thousand pounds of wool, fifty to sixty tone of chitteu bark, several hundred barrels of sail salmon and tlie entire season’s pack of canned salmon from tlie Florence cannery. We do not know how soon she will return tiers but are informed that the prospect ia that the shipping of lumbar from tbe Siualaw will begin again be fore long and that she w ill probably be employed in that trade.
