Last evening a gay party of young la

ers whose names Were not learned. Dur
ing one of the slides down the hill jy
this, parly they were met by returning
coasters and In the effort to get out of.
their way and not run them down, the
sled was run into a post, overturning and
throwing all hands overboard. Miss Ben
ner met with a severe concussion In the
head which completely dazed her. Offljer
Thompson, who was near at hand, with
the assistance of the young men. carrieu
her to Olsen's drug store, where she was
cured for by Dr. Jansen, who happened
to be present. The young lady recovered
consciousness .ifter a time and was taken
to her home. The affair came near being
a tragedy, but conveys a lesson. Year
after year similar accidents occur, but
neither the rising generation nor their pa
rents pay attention to the lessons of the
past. The practice of coasting on the
public streets is a perlnielous one and
very dangerous to both participants and
pedestrians, and should be stopped by
the authorities, If parents do not sec to
it themselves.

A
Excitiflg History bMhe Ship
Clan Mackenzie.
WELL KNOWN IN ASTORIA
Her Skipper is a Young; Manf But
He Has Had More Experience ;
Than Many Older Captains.
The San Francisco Chronicle has the
following description of the Clan McKen
zle and her career, which will be read
with the greatest Interest by all Asto
rlans: "Tlje British Bhlp Clan Mackenzie now
discharging at Union-street wharf, has
had a remarkable career, and the captain
is able to keep tag with his vessel. To
begin with he is the youngest master In
comamnd of a British vessel In San Fran
cisco, and yet he has been through dan
gers that would cause the bravest man to
q ail. Captain Iddes has watered his vs
sel cut down, and Jumped to save Ms life
as she sank under his feet In Rio
Janeiro he saw his superior officer and
half the crew die of yellow fever; and
then undismayed he took command and
carried the ship to her destination.,
"In 1SS9 the Clan Mackenzie 1 was In
Portland, Or. G. Iddes was 1 third mate.
He had serted his apprenticeship In the
"Clan" line, and on passing his examina
tion had been given his commission. The
Clan Mackenzie was almost ready for -sea,
and was in the stream prepared to reee've
the last few tons of her cargo. While
lying at anchor one of the river steamers
ran her down, and the Clan Mackenzie
tank to the bottom of the river. Several
attempts to raise her were made but all
failed. Finally T. P. H. Whitelaw was
brought from San Francisco, and he rais
ed the thlp, but his efforts coBt the in
surance company $19,500, and the subse
quent repairs $22,000.
When the Clan Mackenzie was cut down
two of the crew were killed and one Ber-
icusly Injured. A number of the men
went down with the ship, but managed
to reach the surface again, and were pick
ed up by "boats that put off from the
shore. Third Mate Iddes was Instrumen
tal in saving the lives of several of the
men, and when the ship finally reached
England he was made chief otneer of the
Clan Graham.
When the Clan Graham left Llverpool
for Newcastle, N. S. W., via Rio Janeiro,
Captain R. Wison was in command. . At
the latter port almost the entire crew
was taken down with yellow fever. Iddes
attended to his ship, nursed the captain
and saw that the sick men got every at
tention. Captain Wilson died und was
burled at Rio. One half the crew suc
cumbed to the scourge also, and finally
the young mate was taken with the
plague. For days he hung between life
and death, but finally recovercJ. Then
he took commnnd of the ship, and after
filling the vacancies caused by death he
sailed for Newcastle. From - Australia
he brought the Clan Graham to San
Francisco and thence to England. The
owners were so pleased with the manner
In which he had handled their affairs
that they at once made him master of the
Clan Mackenzie, the ship in which he was
third mate only six years ago.
Captain Hinds, of the Clan Galbralth,
now lying at Howard No. 2, was the pre
decessor of Captain Iddes In the Clan
Mackenzie.
The Clan Mackenzie ,hhs boert In many
a heavy storm and has been dismasted
and on several occasions given up for lost.
She always turns up In safety, however,
and as a general rule, makes far better
passages than some of the clippers. Dur
ing tills year only two vessels have made
the passage from England to San Fran
cisco In 110 days, and these two are the
Penmore and the Clan Mackenzie.
Tho Clan Mackenzie Is 1,597 tons net
burden, 2r9 feet 5 Inches long, ,13 feet 2
inches broad and 23 feet 1 inch depth of j
hold. ' She was built In Glasgow in 1882.
but was practically made a new ship In
1SS9, when repaired at Portland. The
ofUeer.1 are First Mn'ie McMahon, Second
Mato Merry, Third Mate Vaughil. Wlr;n
the vestel was in the Bristol channel
Second Mate Sladdln fell down the fore
hatch and was Internally injured.. He
was sent ashore In a tug and Third Mate
Merry was promoted. Vaughn was the
eldest of the apprentice boys, so Captain
Iddes made him third maty Now Vaughn
says he is going to work hard, and Blx
years hence he hopes to emulate the old
man' and be master of a ship."
NOT A FAIR DEAL.
Real Estate M,n Not Satisfied With Af
fairs. The well known real estate dealer, It.
L. Boyle,, speaking for himself and other
dealers, said that they were not receiv
ing fair consideration at the handd of
property owners In Astoria.
"So far as I am concerned, I have come
here and opened an extensive ofllce, have
.pent money In advertising the town,
which I believe has n brilliant future; I
have bought property myself and have
advertised the property of others for sale.
I know that others have done the same
thing, and In view of these facts I believe
we should meet with the support of prop
erty owners. 1 am sorrry to say that It
Is a fact, however, that when purchasers
show up that property owners get around
us and conduct sales themselves, allow
ing us no commissions for our trouble
'n advertising and hunting up customers.
They do not advertise themselves, and we
have to take catch-as-catch-can eommig-.
-Motis, if they see lit ta allow anything
on trade made through our own efforts. 1.
"What they ought to do is to give as
contracts for the exclusive handling of
property on a fair ba?is, and we will do
the advertising and sell the proprrty. , It
Is only fair that he who does the hard
work and gets the town known aborad
should have a fair share of the profits for
his work."
Other prominent dealers concurred In
Mr. Boyle's views, and Inquiries about
town revealed the fact that there was
some movement on the part of the own
ers to place their property on the market
in the regular way. Better prices and
better net results are always obtained by
dealing in the regular channels.
