LATEST SAILING STEAMER
When the Steamer Cordova
weighed anchor and left early Wed
nesday morning for Seattle, it did
so as the latest sailing in years
from this port.
The Cordova, which arrived Sun
day, was delayed in anchoring, as
considerable fog and mist was en
countered and it was necessary to
cruise tip aud down the coast for a
few hours before they could ascer
tain the exact place to anchor. The
mild weather made it possible to
work the cargo without delay and
the ship was ready to sail in forty
eight hour? from the time of her
The object of the Cordova mak
ing this late trip was that the car
go shipments this fall were unus
ually heavy on account of the great
amount of work to be carried on
next Spring in the mining and
dredging lines and there was a sur
plus of about five-hundred tons
when the Alameda had her capac
ity.
This trip was appreciated by the
candidates for the various offices as
well as others who are interested
in politics who were going outside,
as it e&ve them a chance to stay
for the election and also get the
returns from this precinct before
sailing. The steamship company
through Mr. James P. Daly, local
agent and Mr. E. T. Stannard. vice
president at the Seattle office, sent
special orders to hold the ship in
port, weather being favorable, un
til the election was over.
Sixty seven passengers took ad
vantage of the late sailing which
enabled them to enjoy the longest
season here for years, many hav
ing cancelled their passage on the
Alameda to wait for this sailing.
Mr. Daly took passage on the ves
sel and will spend the Winter in
one of the offices on the outside,
returning on the first boat in the

EARLY MORNING FIRE
AROVSE TOWNSMEN
A fire alarm was turned in at
4:45 Tuesday morning by Henry
iurnm. baker at the North Pole
Maker?, and Fire Chief Felix How
land and his crew of fire fighters
rushed to the scene and are accred
ited with doing fine work.
The fire, which was in a small
bouse near the corner of 2nd and
Hunter Streets, was not noticed un
til it was well under way and all
of the chemical was used from the
tanks without curbing its progress
o any great extent. It was then
I' necessary to hook up the water sys
t. m and two heavy streams were
then poured into the flames. Before
jlong a goodly crowd of townspeo
i pie were aroused and the fire de
i partment was greatly aided by cit
(Azenry, all of which was greatly ap
preciated by the chief and the bal
jance of the department.
The building is the properly of
( ( has. Mason and was in the pro
t cess of being overhauled. It had
j been moved a short distance al
ready and Fred Frease. who had
been doing the carpenter work, was
•he loser of all his tools, which he
i had left in the house when he bad
finished his work the day previous,
j There was no furniture in the
J place but the whole inside was
. p-ettv well gutted and is practical
. ly a complete loss.
The department did good work
i i:i confining the blaze to the one
! structure saving all the adjoining
property without damage. The or
| igin oi" the blaze is not known.
There was no wiring, it is said,
i and the chances for spontaneous
I combustion were also slight.

In the old time resident with lim
