One of the boys that were coasting on

a contusion of the integuments under tho

The Cargo of the Sea King.
The relative cost of loading vessels at
Astoria and Portland has on various oc
casions been shown in these columns,
and has not been contradiotcd. The Sea
King which sailed for Antwerp a few
days ago furnishes an additional instance
concerning this matter. This veasel
loaded about half her cargo at Portland
and then came down here to load the re
maining half. An axiom is defined to be
"a self-evident truth." Tho following
figures demonstrate the axiom that ves
sels cm be loaded at Astoria at less ex
pease to the produser taan at at Port-i

This give3 "the producer," in whose in

portunity to see just wuere the bulk of
the profit goe3. If "C ' should wisa to
attempt an answer to the above by ask
ing "why didn't your Astoria Transpor
tation Company carry the grain if you
flay it could have been carried at 02
cents a ton?" it can be said in reply that
Portland shippers first promised the
company their trade and afterward re
fused it when called on.
So Near and let so Far.
On a recent slippery morning an elder
ly and corpulent citizen was carefully
picking his way down the street, when he
noticed a small boy with two front teeth
gone industriously sprinkling ashes on
the icy walk. The elderly citizens heart
bounded and his eyes glistened. With a
muttered word of approval he impul
sively pulled off his glove and shot his
hand down deep into his pocket. The
boy saw the movement, heard the jingle
of silver, and smiled expectantly. Tho
elderly citizen recovered his band, looked
fixedly at the boy, fitted the lingering re
mains of a plug of tobacco into his
mouth, and passed cheerily on, while the
boy sat down on the hard, cold sidewalk
-with a dull and passionless thud. It is
things like these that cover our oceans
and creeks with boy pirates.

Shoulder Pockets lc Coats.
Pockets have taken a new freak and
have invaded the hitherto sacred pre
cincts of the back of the neck. Who
put them up there first is unknown, as
they have appeared simultaneously in a
dozsn different cities. Tney are used
mostly as receptacles for newspapers and
books of no special value. Overcoats are
now made witu two pockets directly over
the shoulder blades and present a unique
appearance. At first some difficulty is
encountered in getting at these pockets,
and the wearers are obliged to take off
their top coats to get at the contents, but
in time this trouble is dissipated. The
man m the coat, however. never gets
over a certain ungainliness in reaching
over his shoulder for a newspaper, as he
has to give an upward hitch of his whole
frame in order to strike the desired spot.
This never fails to amuse persons walk
ing behind him, the action being bo sug
gestive of tho futile attempts of a man
to scratch the center of his back. It is
not believed that this innovation will
ever become popular, but those gentle
men who have tried the new style are
enthusiastic over its advent and they say
that they would not rsturn to a state of
fiatbackedness for anything.

Samuel Glover, writing to a friend in
Baker City, says of the Coaur a'Alene
mines: "Nearly every one I have talked
with seem to think the mines are both
rich and extensive: but they all have
ground to sell, and that very cheap. One
man said he took 1,6j0 out of his claim;
he sluiced two days and cleaned up $4'j0,
and yet he is broke. Now, to bo honest,
I don't think it best to be in a rush as
the whole country is taken up. if the
mines prove to be rich there will be just
as good a chance after the rush is over.
At present I think the mines greatly
overestimated."
The Sound tug-boats have combined
and raised the pncis of towage. These
prices range from $225, for towine a ves
sel of 503 tons or under from Cape Flat
tery to Seattle, to $2.j0 for a vessel of 500
to 800 tons, 275 for a vessel from 800 to
1000, $300 for 10D0 to 12J0 tons, $325 for
1200 to 1500 tons, and $350 for ld)0 to
2000 tons. To Port Blakely, Port Madi
son and Seattle, the churgesare tho same,
to Tacoma and Ctsaladv S25 hicher on
each class of vessels, to Nanaimo and
Burrard Inlet li5 higher on each class
of vessels, to Port3 Gamble and Ludlow
$25 lower on each class, and to Ports
Townsend and Discovery $30 lower on
each class. These charges, says the Post
Intelligencer, aire a great advance on
those of a few years aso. Then a shiD
like the City of Brooklyn paid $225 for
towing irom me uape to Seattle, now
$350. The advance charges bear heavily
on shipping in the coal and foreicn lum
ber trades, all ship3, in fact, but those
belonging to the mill compinie3 owning
the tugboats named. T'uese ships, or
their owners and masters, complain
loudly at the increase. -With other
burdens and with the decreased rate
from $3 to $2.25 per ton given them for
their outward cargoes, it seams likely to
drive tho coal carriers out of the trade.
Most of the caal ships will come among
tho highest class vessels, and to tow in
and tow out at the rate named will cost
them $700 at Seattle, $750 at Tacoma;
and $950 at Nanaimo.

Fears for the Safety or Capt. Tforth and
Crew.
On tho morning of Saturday, the 9th,
the collier Umatilla struck near Cape
Flattery a rsef of rocks, ind crushed her
foremoit port. A b'.iniing snowstorm
andahaivy gilewjra prevaiUng at the
time. Captain Frank Worth, finding the
vessel sinking, g ivo orders to launch the
boat He wint in one boat with sixteen
men, the sjcond officer took the second
boat, with thirteen men, and the first
offic.r, John O'Brien, with four men,
launched the life raft and made for land.
When O'Brien looked back from a dis
tance he saw the vessel floating. He
turned his life raft for the Umatilla, and
heroically clambered aboard, and with
his men set the foresail and attempted to
make the Columbia river. The steamer
Wellington then hovo in sight. O'Brien
made signals, and the Wellbij w.i yave
the Umatilla a line and towed her into
Esquimalt harbor, where sho sank in
forty-two feet of water. The last seen of
the boats with Worth and crew, and the
second officer, they wtre ncaring land,
and it was supposed they were saved.
Captain Frank Worth" has commanded
tho Umatilla from the time she was
launched until now. He is a native of
New Jersey, aged 40 years, has a wife and
little girl in San Francisco, and is re
garded as one of the best navigators on
the Pacific osean. He was a universal
favorite, and thare is much anxiety in
regard to his fate.
First Officer John O'Brien belongs in
Portland. Ho formerly was master of
the American bark Edivin James, owned
by Ainsworth, which plied between Port
land and China. He has a wife and two
children at Portland, is regarded as an
experienced sailor, and his gallantry on
this occasion is commended in glowing
terms.
John L. Howard, assistant manager of
the Oregon Improvement company, re
ceived telegrams from First Officer
O'Brien, dated Victoria, which substan
tially corroborate tho foregoing part.cn
lars. He characterize the first officer's
conduct as brave, and manifested great
concern for Worth'. safety. In relation
to Worth he said that there is no better
man on the Pacific coast. He is regarded
as safe, and the company has the great
est confidence in his ability as a navi
gator. Flattery rock is a dangerous rock,
and is alwavs covered with water. While
the Umatilla was endeavoring to make
the cape it is supposed she was driven
from her course by a furious storm and
struck on the reef.
At a late hour on Sunday a telegram
from Port Townsend states that no tid
ings had been heard of Capt. Worth and
the thirty-four men who left the ship in
the lifeboats. Fears are entertjined that
thev may be lost, as the coast is filled
with rocks and precipitous overhanging
ledges.
The revenue outter was lying at Port
Townsend when the news of the accident
reached that place, and she immediately
