Writing from Rathdrum, Idaho, to the
Oregon City Courier, a correspondent
says: I left home in Clackamas county,
the banner county of Oregon, on the 12tb
of Fobruary for the Coenr d'Alene mines
and arrived there on the lr.th of March.
I found from 1000 to 2000 "broke' men,
without money, grub or blankets, and
nothing to do, and from one to five feet
of snow and still snowing, and it will re
quire inreu montns 10 remove u, ior n is
very cold in that part of tho country.
There are thousands of men there that
are bound to suffer. In regard to the
richness of the mines it is hard to deter
mine, for there has not been one pound
of gold dust taken from a mine up to
date. It is a railroad boom and a rich
harvest for the steamboats and hotel
keepers. I would sa3' to nil farmers in
old Webfoiit, stay at homo, though poor
it may be, und -ou will suffer no loss, for
a rolling btono cun't gather much mos
I say to all that intend going to the
mines, tako your team and a couple of
pack horses and take your own grub and
haye nothing to do with tho railroad
company, who will skin j-ou out of every
dollar you are worth. A man starting
from Portland wants from $100 to S100U
and the more tho bettor.
Captain Worth was oxonerated'from
blame in Seattle last Thursday for the
loss of tho Umatilla. The local inspect
ors say: "After a careful roision of ali
the evidence in the case wo can arrive at
but one conclusion; namely, that the
steamship Umatilla was thrown ont of
her course by a strong current netting to
the north and eastward. According to
courses steered, had the ship made that
course sue should have gone at let-st ten
or twelve miles to tho westward of Flat
tery reef. It is woll known to experi
enced navigators that it is of frequent oc
currence in tho winter months that thert
is a strong "set" to the current north
ward, extending from bolow the Colum
bia river. This "set" increases in veloci
ty as it nears the straits of Juan doFuca.
where ever3 thing drifting north by its
flow is drawn in. This has been often
verified by wreckage brought from tht
vioinity of Gray's harbor, Shoalwnter
bay and the Columbia river. At the
time of the accident to tho Queen of tht
Pacific on the Columbia river bar. freight
thrown over to lighten tho ship was in n
short timo thereafter picked up off Cape
Flattery by the Indians; also, at the time
of tho loss of the steamship Pacific, in
1875, thirty miles southwest of the cape.
The wreckage from where hhe s ink wa
drifted 100 miles into and up the straits,
inside of seventy hours, wreckage from
her finding its vajf e en as far north as
the north end of tho Gulf of Georgia,
the last survivor being picked up nearly
off Race Rocks, and somo of tho remains
of persons lost at that time being picked
up on San Juan Island. With these lo
cal causes, together with the fact that
there was a blinding snow storm prevail
ing at the time, we consider it a case
where the most skillful navigator might
have made the same mistake.

It has leaked out in San Francisco that
at the last meeting of the Northern Pa
cifio board of directors, held March 20tb,
a resolution was passed that the company
would decline to sell their coal lands,
which are unearned, in Washington ter
ritory, upon the ground that it would be
more profitable to lease them upon roy
alties. This is the commencement of
what promises to be an interesting and
hot fight between tho Northern Pacific
and the Oregon Improvement company.
Under the former management the
Northern Pacific agreed to sell to the
Oregon Improvement company at cur
rent prices, certain lands in tho neighbor
hood of Seattle, which were to be pros
pected for coal. These lands are now in
possession of the Oregon Improvement
company, who have spent large sums in
ilnveloninc the coal lands. The discov
ery and development of such coal lands
were encouraged by the Northern Pacific,
which now attempts to repudiate its
agreement.

SUPERSTITI05S OF X SAILOR.
KMorInc Time Snesrlng In the Fore
castle. An incident which occurred a few years
since on an American vessel, which was
nearing port after an extendod voyage
around Capo Horn, illustrates the super
stitions that are held bysailors. Among
the crew of the vesssl was an old sailor
who was noted for his meanness, and
who open' expressed a desire that the
voyage ini:ht be prolonged, in order that
he oould have more wages when port was
reached. The other seamen were satis
fied with the amounts due them, nnd
Wire aunoas t get into port as soon as
possible. One evening, during the dog
watch, the penurious sailor went on to
the forecastle head end began to whistle
He then beckoned to the vurous points of
the compass ahead, as if to charm up a
head wind. While the old sailor was oc
cupird with his incantations he was ob
served by ono of the ship's boys, who
lmmt-diaU'ly ran into tne iorecasue una
informed the men that 'Pat-sey'" was on
the forec.i-.tlo head, engaged in u diaboli
oai attempt in chirm up a head wind.
Intou-e judigiMtx n took possession of
tar men. Cur-- -vro heapod upon his
head, and Mme of tho bolder ones pro
posed throwing the objectionable wiza d
overbojrd. lie h'.d committed a sin
which his ship.nates could not forghe.
Aud yet the siuio men had a short time
previously expr-vSod themselves as firmly
of the bblief that whistling or any other
action on the prl of inortHls could have
no effect whatever upon tho wind.
Even old sua captains, who havo risen
from foremast hands, are not entirely
free from these prejudice-, although they
deride thcui in lhf-r. An old ship
master .-iijlt d noi.u'oned the religious
boliefa th l ui haa been taught in his
youth, was once induced to take on a
voyage a clergyman's son, who had sown
such a liberal crop of wild oats on land
that it had become necessary for him to
take up his residence for a time on the
sea. Tho voyage was a very long one,
and in several respects did not prove sat
isfactory to the captain. Tho latter con
ceived a strong dislike for the prodigal
son, whom he seemod to fancy was in
some way the cause of his misfortune.
Toward the close of the voyage the ship
was becalmed for nearly a fortnight.
Once during this timo, while the captain
was on deck, it looked as if a breeze was
about to spring up, but no wind came.
After his hopes had beon dashod the
captain happened to look around. The
unfortunate prodigal son wos scrubbing
tho deck near him. Tho captain gavo
tho youngster an angry look and ex
claimed: "I never will havo a fair wind
as loag as I keep such a fellow as you on
board. I believoyou are the Jonah of
this ship!"
Jack has a peculiar way of measuring
time. If ho ships on the 15th of August
ho imagines that his first month of labor
is completed on tho 14th of September.
He holds that from the 15th of August to
the 15th of September is one mouth and
one day, and no amount of argument
or figuring will convince him to the con
trary. But he readily admits that his
second mouth of labor is frjm tho 14th
of Septfiuber to the 14th of October. All
the subsequent montliri of the voyage he
counts iu the same maimer. If asked
vhy he does not apply the same rule to
tho other months which ho does to the
arst one, ho replies that he reckons the
first month correctly, but that "it is dif
ferent with the other mouths." Jack
holds a number of other peculiar views
with which he stubbornly refuses to part,
it is lionerallv belayed that the deposits
jf ga.!u6 ou tho islands situated oft the
Pacific coast were left there ages ago by
oa birds. But Jack has an entirely dif
ferent opinion. He insists that guano is
a Mibbl;.nc which was formed beneath
the surface of the earth, and was thrust
apon mankind by volcanic disturbances.
Sjuiij of tho ignorant natives and men
.vho bae shoveled this fertilizer assure
Jack that his opinion is the correct one,
and with this 7oihty backing he con
siders himself justified in defying the
opinion of the scientific world.
A sailor's style of expressing himself is
as pi-culitr as is his mode of reasoning,
tie is very much given to profanity, but
jis oaths are different from thoso Used
by landsmen. His curses are usually
directed towards the ejes of the person
vho has aroused his indignation. He
will curss his own e3'es with the same en
ergy with which he calls down anathe
mas upon those of his enemies. The fact
cuat an inanimate object which has
drawn upon itself his displeasure does
uot possess organs of sight will not pre
vent him from earnestly cursing his eyes.
Vnen the sailor desires to request a fel-low-boing
to go to a certain very hot
climate he does not say, "Go to ."
de prefers tho expression, "Get to
out of this!" Nearl3' every one of Juck's
favorite ouths his some strange peculiar
ity about it. Ho does not indulge iu pro
fanity to any great extent during his
uours of relaxation. It is during tho
fury of the gale, when all his exertions
aro needed in taking in sail, that the
sailor comes out strongest with his oaths.
At such n time he seems to consider it his
duty to curse. Tho roar of profanity
which arises from a vard-arm full of
sailors engaged in frantic efforts to furl
i sail, is sometimes nearly enough to
drown the bowlings of tho tempest. At
such times every one on board ehip, from
the captain down to the cabin-boy,
curses. Even stewardesses of acknowl
edged respectability have been heard in
dulging in th6 genuine sea oaths. Yet
with all his superstitious prejudices the
sailor has never appeared to havo any
fears that indulgeuce in profanity, even
in times of imminent danger, might
bring down some misfortune upon his
head. Some sailors indulge in the ex
pression, "Strikes me lucky." Other sea
men have been known to condemn this
impreoation as calculated to tempt Provi
dence, besides being in very bad taste. It
is perhaps needless to state that these
critics were men who indulged to a
shocking extent in other forms of pro
fanity. There is a technical name for every
thing on board ship, but tho sailor has
succeeded in inventing corruptions for
many of these terms. Instead of Baving
"abaft" he prefers to say ,,beaft,""and
"fornst" does duty for "forward of ." The
proper term for am implement used in
cleaming the decla is "squegee," but this
is usually known to the sailors as
a "screegee," or "scootagee." The car
penter is spoken of as "Chips," while the
lord of tho gallery -has his title added to
his Christian name. If his name hap
pens to ba Joseph, he is known as "Joe,
the cook." lo other functionary on
board ship has his title used in connec
tion with hisnamo on ordinarv niwminmi
The captain is invariably known as the
"Old Man. To eacb eailoi's Christian
name is prefixed either the name of tho
port from which he hails or an adjoctive
expressive of some peculiarity of his. If
a sailor coming from Liverpool is named
James, his shipmates aro apt to speak of
him as "Liverpool Jim." Jaok often
speaks of his Dunk as his "paw," and
wacn about to retire expresses his de
termination to "turn into his pew." The
officers frequently speak of an old sailor
aaa"whaIo." A drunken man is de
scribed as being about "three Rhfets in
the wind," because his motion then some
wnat resemoies tne staggering movement
oi a snip wmon nas Ooeu iorced by a gale
to shorten her sail to three Bheets of can
V8S3.
Many of the expressions, howavor.
whioh the ideal sailor is popularly sup
posed to use are obsolete. The stage
sailor calls his wife his "figurehead," and
speake8 contemptuously of landsmen as
"land-lubbera" and "swabs." Th ri
sailor never uses these expressions in the
senses referred to. He speaks of being
married as "getting spliced" or "getting
switched," and women he regards affec
tionately as "the judies." When he
wishes any one to move he requests him
to "slew round.'
On sailing Teasels, as a rule, the cap
tains and officers express themselves in a
Banner similar to that of the common
sai!or. On men of-war, howover, the su
perior officers use more elegant language
and leave the common termB to the boat
swain nnd tho other petty officers. An
officer who had obtained nearly all of his
knowledge of navigation from books wan
once superintending the hauling home of
the maintopsail sheet, when its progress
was suddenly checked. Callinc to a sea
man, the officer gave him the following
erder: "My man, ascend the shrouds and
Eroceed outward until you gain the star
oard extremity of the mam yard. As
certain the cause or causes which impede
the main sheet."
"Aye, a3e, sir," replied the sailor, who
rushed up the rigging until the main
yard was reached. Here he paused and
gave himself up to reflection. It was
quite evident that he did not understand
the officer's order. The boatswain's mate
approached the officer, and, touching his
hat, said: "I fear sir, the man did not
understand your order; had I not better
givo it to him in language which be can
understand?" Tho officer gav.e his sanc
tion to the proposition, and the boat
swain's mate exclaimed: "Here, you
soup-swilling son of a sea-cook, lay out
on the starboard yard-arm and so what
in the flames of blazes is the matter with
the topsail sheet." The sailor then un
derstood tho order, and after bestowing
a look of gratitude upon the boatswain's
mate for baving voluntarily become his
interpreter he proceeded to obey his in
structions. .Steamer Iters for April.
