The Truckee reached San Francisco from this city yesterday. The State of California will be In to morrow (from San Francisco. The Mayflower took the JeMness funer al party round to Greenwood yesterday. The Ladd dumped two loads on the sands opposite the middle channel yes terday. Six carloads of salmon were taken up to Portland last night on the Potter and Telephone. The new spars for the pilot schooner are almost completed, and will be placed aboard arly next week. The steamer Lincoln was surveying channels all day yesterday between Smith's Point and Point Ellis. The steamer Harrison arrived In at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon "from Tllla mook, with ten tons of daCrypnoduce. A new oval soldering machine was com pleted by the Astoria Iron Works yester day and forwarded to the Astoria Pack ing Co.'s cannery. The ship that was sighted outside some days ago Is supposed to have been a vessel beating up the coast on her way north, and not bound for this port. Harry Cribb's racing yacht Which has already been described at length In these columns, Is now completed. The sails will be mapped out and made next week. A great many fishermen ate taking ad vantage of the present slack run- of salm on to mend and tan their nets, and most of the racks aire crowded In consequence. The A. F. C. confidently expect no less than fifteen outside yachts to compete at this year's regatta, and It ts probable that a large number of clubs will be rep. resented In the rowing contests. The fouMnasted schooner Olff 473 tons, Oapt. M. A. Ipsen, sailed from Eureka June 8th for Honolulu, with 638,821 feet of redwood lumber valued at $7,li6.03. This, the third cargo- so far this year, Is the largest and most valunble ever shipped from Humboldt Bay to the Ha waiian Islands. A unique and effective bell buoy has been placed on State Ledse, In Boston Harbor, where a steamer was recently wrecked. The bell weighs 265 pounds, and .s struck by any one of four balls that weigh pounds each amd roll baca and forth in separate tubes t with the slightest motion of the buoy by 'the water. Those who expected to see a race down the river between the Potter amd Tele, phone yesterday afternoon were disap pointed. The Telephone did not leave her Portland dock till 8 a. m., and did con s dei able freight work at different points after she loft. The Potter also handled a large quantity of freight on her down trip. Both boats were considerably later than their usual running time :n mak ing .their Astoria wharves. Several men employed at the Aslorla Iron Works are now working night and day on the steel boom of the Rathdown, and It is expected that the Job will be completed In a week. Mr. A. L. Fox states that the boom Is the finest piece of workmanship that ever oame into the shops, It Is made- of a continuous series of double tapering steel plates, r.veted together with steel rivets, and the work of getting It to pieces Involves a great amount of labor. Several of the plates are badly twisted and bent through the ship's recent collision, and they will have to be straightened out by being put through heavy Iron rollers. Sehoomer Jessie, Capt. E. P. Raymond, Is at Yesler's wharf In Seattle taking pro visions and fitting out for a long voyage to Bering straits, with supplies for the natives In the Arctic ocean. She will take a cargo ot about fifty itons of hard ware, groceries, dry goods and mote or less assorted merchandise. It Is the first trip of the kind ever undertaken from the northwest coast, and Is likely to build up a profitable trade. The goods will be x c hanged for seal and both white and black bear skins, which will be brought on the return voyage. One of (the crew understands the Esquimaux language, having spent Ave years In the far north. As the ice will have closed the straits by September, lit wl21 be necessary for the schooner to have completed her errand by that time, and fhe wll tlkely be south again by October. Captain John! Brown, of the Mend. 11, was busy yesterday delivering notices to the following canmerymen: Astoria Pack ing Co., J. O. Hanthorn, Samuel Elmore, Cutting Packing Co., Eureka and Epicure Packing Co., A. Booth & Co., and the Fishermen's Packing Co. The notifies, tions were Issued by Major J. C. Post, through Engineer Hegardu and contain, ed peremptory orders to remove all fish scows from the channel lines at the head of Sand Island within 24 hours. Most ot the farmers compiled Immediately with the demand, and it is probable that there will be no work In this direction for the United States march al today. It has been found by the surveyors an the Lincoln snd MendeM that It is Impossible to make cut the channel lines correctly wdth these scows In tha way, and their removal was not asked for until It became abso lutely necessary to have them out of the road. Capta.n George Block, a. foreign officer In the Chinese navy, says: "A layman has vno conception of the awful nature of battle In modern naval vesseCs. Even the cruisers have steel sides, and the arr of the enclosed spaces Is very confined. The din made by the Impact of a heavy projectile against these metal sides la awful beyond description I wore cot. ton In my ears, but In spits of that am still deaf from that cause. The en gineers In the Chew-Yuen stuck to their work even when the temperature of (he engine room was above 200 degrees Fab., renhelt. The skin of their hands and arms was actually roarted off, and every man was b.lnded for - Kfe, the sight being actually seared out. Late In the action after my hair had been burned off and my eyes so Impaired by Injected Mood that I coutd oniy see out of one of them, and then only by lifting the lid by my finders, I was dotiruus of seeing bow the enemy was delivering 61s fire. As I groped my way around the protected deck, a hundred pound shell pierced the armor about egtvteen liuiies In front of my head In a second my hand touching, the steel (was a tourmt tihat part of tm skin was left (upon the armor. That shows how Intt-nse it the heat engendered by the impact of a shot and how rapidCy ttie steel conducts that heat. One tCioll struck an open giin shield, , of the Chen-Yuen early in the action, amd glanHr.g thence, passed through the open port. Seven gun ners were kiMedi and fifteen wounded by that shot. Karly In the Hghf the Maxim gun In the foretop was srienced. The holes pierced ly a shttil could be seen from the deck. After the right we found t'he ofllcer and men on duly there all dead and fr.ghtifuWy manigled. That on tCielH had wrought the Hiavoc. Th de tonations of the heaivy cannon and the Impact of hosttle projectiles produce con cursIoqs that actually rend the clothing off." The detai ls of Improvements on the new American, liner St. Louis embrace many things tihat are not apparent to the casual observer, says the Marino Journal. By a new sysltem of veintllaltlng pipes, operated by electricity, the air in every stateroom is completely changed evry ten minutes without the necesELty of opening door or port, and In cold weather the fresli sea air will be supplied warm. The chairs at table In the main saloon are made to revolve upon an eccentric so as to afford more room to clear one's neighbor In get ting up, and bring one closer to the table In Bitting down. An improved mall batch affords very rapid facilities for receiving and discharging mads from the sea post, office on board. The ship has stockless anchors that heave right up Into her hawsplpes and are always ready to let go. The main saloon is without pillars or pipes to Interfere with any part of It, and Is undoubtedly It he - must commodious and best lighted saloon of any ship yet built. The Investigation Into the loss of the Pacific mail steamer Coilma, says the Marine Record, Is not developing that evidence of overloading and mismanage ment that the sensational writers have made so much of. It Is e lamentable fact that In ait serious disasters of this nature, some space writer who scarcely knows the keel from the truck, will seise upon some casual remark and around It weave a tale to harrow the feelings of the community and bring odeum upon people who may be entirely Cnmocent. The true reason for this terrible disaster will prob ably never be known, for the master, who was In a position to know all the circumstances, went down with, his ves sel. The storm encountered was, from all accounts, one of terrific force, making It Impossible for any but extremely high powered engine? to hold a, vessel up to the sea. To fall off Into the trough of the sea was almost certain destruction for any steamer, for man has not yet been able to construct a vessel . which will withstand the force of the ocean waves, and It Is not a question, of unseaworthi ness when a vessel is lost In such a way. It may be true that the presence of a deckload of lumber became a menace to life after the vessel was practically gone, but It Is not probable that tills deckload of only 32,000 feet of lonmber In any way contributed to the loss of the vessel Itself. All that can be said Is that It was an unfortunate circumst air.ee. Take the case of the S. S. Washtenaw. A cable was re ceived that an American steamer was re. ported ashore in the straits of Magellan, yet our daily papers with startling head lines stated, "Another steamer lost. Fate of crew unknown." And It was stated as a fact that the S. S. Washtenaw was un. doubtedly a tot ail loss. But a few days afterwards the vessel arrived at Coronet and the master cabled "All well." This practice of making much out of little should be condemned, omd the Record has no doubt but that the loss of the Colima was due onty to a peril of the tea, and such a disaster is ).abCe at any time to iventake any vessel. Captain Bell, of the Surprise, talks In a very Interesting way about his trip to Alaska, and being a keen observer of men and things, always has a fund of -.nfoi-matlon at his disposal. He left Puget sound for Tolsti bay, Bering straits, last Bprlng and on his arrival at his northern fishing port Immediately began opera tions. He has encountered splendid weather during his whole trip, and con. trasts this with his Inst year's experience, when there were fifteen feet of snow all over the Alaskan Islands, and a succes sion of hurricanes that more than oncfc nearly sent the Surprise to the bottom. Fishing, this year -s excellent. There are three varieties of salmon In Tolsti bay, the Talhees, Red salmon and Pink salmon, the first named being generally used for smoking. The salmon trout In the vicinity are probably the largest found anywhere on the Paaflc coast, and the mountain rainbow trout that come deawn Into the bay are a magnifi cent and tasty fish. The hunting In the vicinity of the spot where the tittle Bur. prise pursues Its operations would de light tho heart of any sportsman. A party of Indians went out on a hunting exedt. tion a few days before Captain Bell left, and the day he sailed came In with 8700 worth of bear and beaver skins. The vicinity of Tolsti bay abounds in copper mines, and a railroad seventy miles ;n length Is now In process of construction to Klawak, which will, It is expeoted, open up several new mines. The whole country Is populated by Indians, and among them are some of the most In telligent men that Captain Bell has ever met. They own and operate some of the largest sawmills In Alaska, which they have built and started without outside aid. They have established several good schools, and conduct their settlements in a model manner. They are believed to be the only Inllana In United States terri tory who are entirely self-supporting, and who have never asked for any assist ance from Uncle Sam. The Surprise made a remarkably quick run to this city, cov ering the distance (1700 miles) In a little over five days. She will start up again on Saturday and continue fishing till the end of September. The Big Bonanza, ship, silled from Baltimore for San Francisco on March 23 and on May 7 returned to Hampton roads, having been partially dismasted In a hurricane. The following graphic de eerlpliert of the mishap the vessel met with Is taken from a private tetter re ceived from Captain Bergman, her com mander: "We struck a hurricane In lat. 37 18 N., Ion. 60 W which robbed us of our principal spars and broke our new iron foremast below the deck and strained the ship very considerably, so much so that we pumped by steam with both pumps from 8 p. m. of the 28th till 11 a. m. of the 20th of March before It showed the first sign that we gained on the water in the hold. The hurricane oc curred four days after the tug let go of us off Cape Henry, and It took me 38 days to get back to Cape Henry, but we had to make a large detour in order to meet favorable winds to return with. The gale lasted a little over two days, whin the cyclonic disturbance of the center which dismasted us only lasted about three or four hours, and added to the un pleasantness of the whole affair, tt was so pitch dark that I could not recognize a person standing alongside of me except by the voice. Looking up at the masts that were left, though not being able to make out the spars on account of dark ness, we could see the fit. Elmo fires on the extremities. When our bowsprit and foremast were carried away I was standing on top of my afterhouse, along s!d the forward skylight, and though I heard the terrible crash and knew something uncommon had happened, I could not see what It was that caused the noise, until big flash of lightning re vealed to my gaze a sickening spectacle. There was the iron mast lying across the lee-rail, the rigging still holdng H, and having smashed both lifeboats on top of the forward house as it Ml irrom trimj the water pouring Into the hole left by the ma-9t, for It broke underneath the deck, and heavy seas sweepng over the whole ship without interruption. The brok en end of the foremast was working up and down Just above the whole It had left, making (t dangerous for any one to aUtempt to work underneath lti there fore before we could thing of nailing up th hole we had to get rid of the mast, which was no eaeynaititer under the cir cumstanced before described; tout when the gale moderated the ship leaked but very little. We pumped onCy about 20 minutes In 24 hours. We lost bowsprit and Jlbboom, enitre foremast from truck to keelson, ma' mtopgaMamt mast and mli senitopgallant mast, with yards and sails attached to all the spans and the monkey gaff." v ALFARATTA'S WARRIOR. A Typical Road ObPtructlomlst Who Stood In the 'Roadl of 'Progress. Editor of 'Aei'.orlan: I find 'there are some who are bitterly opposed to the building of roads, eltlKr by the Cross law, or by any ether way. And are honestly so. Their comdruslorNi are iformed by what they see, either TnentaUy or otherwise. Every man's Judgment Is based on what he thus sees on every question, and one ought n'ofc ito be an enemy of another bo cause the other Is seeing things differ ently and governing himself accordingly. I remember a man that came to Clatsop from the Interior that had never seen the Pacific, but had heard of It. When he stood upon the beach and saw the wnois thing from Cape Hancock Ho Tillamook Head, he drew a long breath and said, "Wt'll, It Isn't near so large as I thought It was." His mental vision was nlchts. Some people live In the p'ast: they hang on to he lost year and try to drag It Into the present time. They might as well drop It and catch on to the present. I remember a song about a dusky maiden called "Alfarattn, That Lived on the Bor ders 'of the Junlatita river: "Oay vm the mountain song Of bright Alfaratta." I Imagine I can hear (that tuneful mel ody accompanied by the ripple and swash of the river against tits Dames ana com. pare it with 'the singing of itihe girls of to. day: "Bold was thie warrior good The love of Alfaratta." He was probably a man, every Inch of Mm, as men went In those days, but civilization rolled into tholt place on wheels. He stood against lit, and was rolled under. If Instead of standing In the way of progress he had run along, side and caught on he would have been all right, and his descendants would still be there by the Junlatta, driving their teams over the beautiful roads. But with the training, habits, fdcas and mental ca. paclty which they had It was Impossible to do any other way tham ithey did, and bo nature called them In and cancelled them, as she will call In and cancel any of her Issues when their work is done, and another Issue w.11 take 'their place to d3 the new work. The agile Alflaratta was toeiUSer fitted to the time she lived than any new time girl would be, but what place would she find to fit her In a civilized crowd.' The hero of the girl In this year of our Lord, 1895, don't handle a paddle or sit in the tall end of a canoe, or fool wuh bows and arrows to any great exlter.it. "Fleeting years have borne away the voice of Al faratita." ' The river is sti ll there, but the old time Ideas ape gone with Alfaratta, the canoe, the arrows, the warrior's plumes, etc. The new people travel on tha land on wheels, as civilization always travels when It can. ' "Much greater grace now takes tnt place Of pretty Alfaratta, Another girt goes wtth a whirl Along the Junlatta, On ribs ot steel she rides a wheel, As faeit as the can olatv.er, Another age lb ort the stage, And that's Just what's the matter. D. F. STAFFORD. THE HEAVY END OF A MATCH. "Mary," said Farmer Flint at the breakfast table as he aeked for a second cup of coffee, "I've made a discovery." "WsU, Cyrus, you're about the last one I'd expect 'of such a thing, but what Is It?" "I have found that the heavy end of a match is Ms light end," responded Cyrus with a grin that would have adorned a skull. Mary looked disgusted, but with an air of triumph quickiy retorted, "I've got a discovery, too, Cyrus. It was made by Dr. R. V. Pierce, and is called a 'Golden Medical Discovery.' It drives away b.otches and pimples, purifies the blood, tones up the system and makes one feel brand new. Why, it cured Cousin Ben who had consumption and was almost re duced to a skeleton. Before his wife be. gait to use It she was a pale, sickly thing, but look at her; dhe's rosy-cheeked and healthy, and weighs 1(6 pounds. That, Cyrus, Is a discovery that's worth men t.onlng."

Allen Co., who have for years stood In the lead, are still there and keeping to the front, Judging from the following crippling, taken from the Evening Telegram: "We are not piano manufacturers but we are a corporation with our headquar terfc here. We are no branch, emanating from San Francisco, Chicago, or else where, and we therefore have a decided ad vantage in-o-far that we cam do as w please and are not dictated to by any for eign element. It Is the height of human folly to expect that a sensible person can be coerced Into buying a cheaply, constructed and Insignificant make of piano when such celebrated makes as the Chlckerling, Hardman, Fischer, and the new transposing key-board Bush & Gerts' are In the market. During the last year we have ordered and received direct from Eastern manufacturers more pianos than all the other Portland houses combined. Let all piano buyers make note of these facts and come and see us. Our prices and terms are very liberal and piano con tracts are not sent out of the state. THE WILEY B. ALLEN CO., 211 First Street."
