ON BOARD STEAMSHIP COLOMBIA, ashore off Pigeon Point Light (via Pesca- dero, Cal.), July 18.—The wrecking of the steamer goes on, though the bay (they call it Colombia Cove now) is calm and the breakers stilled. The ship’s people know that at any time the waves from a locsl blow, or a mountainous swell beating. in from some far off gale will driv: the crew ashore and finish the work of the reef. Everything that can be moved and re- moved to the schooners alongside is wrenched and torn from its fasienings and hoisted over tbe rail with the still usetul donkey-engine. That donkey-machine has immortalized itself. While the great main engines of the ship lie dead and corroding under water, the d onkey-boiler, perched above the s2a, is in action, and Fireman Collins is the sooty Casabianca who stays by the furnace. When the tide registers high on the wauter-marks on the bulknead and his fire sizzles out he drops his shovel, washes his face in the flood that chases him from his ost and goes up the ladder. ins is a king in a small way, be can stay the sea no more than did Canute ages aro; but he gets a good head of steam on before the water laps over the gratebars and the faithful *‘donkey’’ runs until the tide falls. Then Collins again starts his fire and for a season defies the waves. One of the foremost laborers in the work of stripping the steamer is Ship-Carpenter Wheaton. He assisted in building the Colombia and is now engaged in undoing his work. With chisel and crowbar he ruthlessiy wrenches mirrors, desks, wash- stands, racks and iamps from their piaces and tosses them out onto the deck to be hoisted aboard the awaiting schooners. He removed the piano from the saloon yesterday, but with more/care than he be- stows on his other plunder. There are Lln;ee other piancs down in the flooded old. . The only idle person aboard the Colom- bia is Customs Inspector O'Leary, who is here to see that nothing dutiable washes out through the holes in ti.e hulk without his chalkmarks thereon.

That means so per cent added to the cost. Of course you know that if you DEMAND 10 per cent or 15 per cent for cash elsewhere you cam get it—but is that bonest business ? It is not our way.

The only foreign importations that have escaped him thus far are about 40,000,000 limes that have cone bobbing merrily one by one through the breakers to the beach without permission from the Treasury Department. Inspector O'Leary has missed several cases of men’s trousers from the ship, which have gone out through the shattered bottom and have disappeared. The souvenir fiend has come down upon the helpless ship. Every article worthless for practical uses has been picked up, whether floating or beached, and borne away to be exhibited in after years as a memento of Colombia Cove’s last victim. One woman tourist from Boston found on the beach a sardine can which Joe Levy of Pescadeo had thrown away after eating 1ts contents on the bluff the day before. An old gentleman hailing from Belve- dere secured a drifting beer-bottle and carried it away in triumph, nor recogniz- ing it as having accompanied him to the locality that morning. A sweet Stanford co-ed risked her life snatching from the salt sea waves a pocket-comb which her escort, a football savage, had lost. He bhad been combing his long, Samsonian tresses behind a rock ala mermaid and had dropped it overboard. The country swarms with midsummer campers and the shipwreck is an addi- tional attraction for them. They come down the beach, sit on the rocks and take in the marine drama, with the poor Colom- bia occupying the center of the stage. A bright sun lights the scene, and the or- chestral breakers play an eternal mono- chord. Other ships pass and repass the little bay, gliding smoothly over the quiet sea, and their freedom makes the condi- tion of their luckless sister, bound as she | is to a rock, all the more pitiable, | “I was listening to the Ano Nuevo fog signal sounding off the starboard quarter, and had not the slightest idea of danger,” said Captain Clark to-day, in discussing the recent disaster. ‘I was sure that it was the Pigeon Point warning, and as it sounded so indistinct in the thick fog I believed it was miles astern, and so kept on, with this result. What was my sensa- tions when I felt the reei? “Well, it was as if a knife was going through me. Idid not know where I was, and the shock of finding myself on the rocks, when I thought myself well at sea, bewildered me for a few seconds. Then I lhonfint of the passengers and crew; of myself I had no thought, except that I desired to go down on those. rocks and be ground to fragments with my ship. “I have sailed probably six times a year for six years out yonder, going up and down this coast. I knew that this was a spot to shun, and that it was the burial lace of several vessels that had wandered n too near the reefs. Can you not im- agine how anxious I was when the fog carze down upon me, and a danger siznal horn on shore was sounding? I never the hold and prevent the landing of the | was so near. diving suit he is unable to get down into | heard the Pigeon Point signal, though it 1f I had caught a note of that whistle, how quickly would have steered for the open ocean, and have pre- vented this,” and the captain motioned toward the hull that reeled uneasily beneath our feet. “This is my first mishap and no one can know how it takes me,” he continued. “My wife and my daughter, the latter of whom has just graduated from the uni- versity, are in Massachusetts. They will immediately return; their pleasant visit- ing is quickly brought 1o an end. “But I have one consolation, and that is that noJives were lost. There is no sad- ness in any home but my own. I wish this vessel could be saved. She istoo foofl a ship to be lost. Bhe was so perfect n every way that every one who sailed in her became attached to her. ., “Even now the Colombia could be saved if the proper appliances were at hand. The water is deep around the narrow ledge of rocks on which she lies so easily. Ves- sels, llgbun,egontounu of any draught could be moored alongside of her and her hull lifted clear. If she had gone ashore within forty miles of New York or any large Atlantic seaport she would not have been abandoned to become a scrap-iron heap on the beach. When somebody pro- vides a modern and effective wrecking outfit the Pacific coast will cease to be a graveyard for ships.” POT AND KETTLE.

Millions of Feet of Timber Destroyed and Great Damage Done in Mining Camps. SPOKANE, Wasn., July 18.—Forest fires are raging throughout the country north of this city in Washington, Idaho and British Columbia. Millious of feet of timber has alreadv been destroyed, and throughout numerous mining camps situ- ated in the path of the fires great damage is being done in the destruction of prop- erty. The smoke here is so dense asto almost hide tbe sun, and at Rossland and other towns to the north the atmos- phere is so laden with smoke and the heat from the burning trees is so intense that life is made almost unbearable. Many citizens are flocking to this city for relief. ——— LONE ROCK FLAME-SWEPT. The Entire Business Seotion of the Town Destroyed. ARLINGTON, Ok., July 18.—The town of Lone Rock was almost entirely de- stroyed by fire yesterday. The business portion of the town went up in smoke and nothing remains but a few dwellings in the outskirts. A small boy with a pocket fuil of matches was the cause. Lone Rock is on Long Creek in Gilliam County. Itistwenty-six miles southeast of Condon, the county seat. There is a stage to Ariington _and a daily mail. The town was started in 1870 and in 1892, ac- cording to the directory, the business men were: W. C. Brown, hotel-keeper; W. H. Colwell, jeweler; .f. B.

QUEEN OF THE LAKES. The City of Buffalo Boats the North- west in a Lake Frie Race. For some time there has been much speculation as' 1o the speed of the new steamer City of Buffaloof the Cleveland and Buffalo line. . On arecent trip she re- duced the time record from Buffalo to Clevelana to. eight hoursand forty min- utes. The two steamers Northwest and Northland of the Northern Steamship Company have hitherto waved the speed pennant on the waters of Lake Erie, but the new rival for championshio hon- ors has been regarded with absorbing in- terest of late by Commodore Brown of the Northern line. A match was arranged for this week, and last night was selected, be- cause 160 members of the International League of Press Clubs to make the trip from Buffalo to Cleveland. * Fhe newatlew like wilddire shroaghout Buffalo. It quickly became known that the Northwest, lying at 'the foot of Main street, bad taken aboard seventy-five extra tons of and twenty extra firemen. When the regular leaving time for the City of Buffalo arrived, 1000 people had gath- ered on the d along the river. The Northwest swung away from the dock at 8:30, central {ime, and the lines on the ity of Bnfldo,‘-‘fmle above on the river, were cast off half a minutelater. Asthe big steamers moved down the river the crowd cheered and thie whistles of the tugs and steamers in the harbor gave them a noisy send-off. < i The Northwest cast off the tug and got under way at_8: Tgm minutes later the City of Buffalo began to turn.

COLLEOTING RENT. The Old Lady Took Her Knitting and Waited on the Doorstep. Commend me to the old lady in Roches- ter who sought novel and successful means of collecting her houserent last week. She was an old lady of ideas and a knowledge of buman nature gleaned from a lifetime of experience with the world. She owned a house'ana lot in Rochester, and the in- come from it was the substance upon which she depended for life’s necessities. It was rather an ostentatious house and lot, and the tenants were persons with a reputation to sustain, although apparently e mbarrassed for ready money. The month’s rent was due and the agent was not able to coliect. The old lady said it was simple enough. She would collect it herself. Now, she wasn’t a stylish nor an artistic old lady, but she was sturdy and imperturbable and her proportions were ample and her spirit unialtering. She rang the door bell at an early hour the other morning and inquired for the head of the family. The servant glowered at her and said he was not to be seen yet for two hours, because the family had not yetrisen. The early caller was cheerful and said she would sit on the doonurl and wait. Finally she was granted an audience with ber tenant, who put her off with smooth promises. “I'll just sit here and wait till you can pay it,’" replied the right- eous collector, and she settled herself once more on the doorstep, took some knitiing from her basket and prepared to spend the day. Shemade a quaint-looking pic- ture, and all the neiehbors wondered. ‘When any’ one came within conversing distance and stared rudely at her, she ex- plained in a friendly way that she was waiting till the tenants paid their rent. She looked truthful, and no one doubted her, and her plan worked like a charm. The rent was paid long before sundown, and she ambled home more than ever con- vinced that nothing is impossible.—Phila- delphia Press. ————— By far the best method of suppressing the smoke nuisance is to improve the com- bustion of a furnace. A device recently tried in Glasgow consists of a door of pe- culiar construction that sets up eddies in the gases, and thus delays the Enm‘"“ of smoke until it has been burned up. Practical tests showed the most satisfac- tory results. Fo and prices are cut again to effect , medium and wide wale effects are Candy in We pack Candy in Tin Tin Boxes.

NTCAS AN ETHEL L Miss Flannigan Twice Saved From a Stranger by a Watchdog. Citizens of the Washington Village in Arms Against Her Persecutor. TACOMA, Wasgr, July 18.—Jennie i 17-year-old girl wholives on a Ethel, Lewis County, claims she has been twice attacked by a strange man in the past two months. The stranger visited the house a month ago in the absence of her father. His appearance frightened the gir! and she attempted to escape, but he seized a flatiron and told her that if she made an outery he would kill her. She reached for a hunting- knife, but the man was too quick and secured the knife himself, . Just then the family watchdog entered the house and the stranger beat a hasty retreat, shouting ;: he ran that she had not seen the last of m. Miss Flannigan saw nothing more of the man until Wednesday. Then, while she was walking twenty rods from the house, he suddeniy stepped from the brush and caught her by the hair. A bard struggie followed, and he dragged her by the hair for several rods. He was again scared away by ihe dog, but in the struggle he tore the giri’s dress oft. Sheriff Carpenter and Deputy Black- well, when notified of this second attack, made a thorough search in the surround- ing woods, but could find no trace of the girl’s assailant. According to Miss Flannigan, the stranger has red hair that reaches to his shoulders. The neighbor- hood has been greatly aroused by the girl's story. A LAKE CITY ROBBERY. The San Juan Road Zoll-Taker Changes Bis Headquarters. NEVADA CITY, Car., July 18—A vegetable peddler was stopped by a road agent on the Eureka road, near Lake City, this morning and robbed of $40.
