John Hoberg, the Nccanlcum farmer, was In the city yesterday. Mr. Hoberg Is much disappointed over the defeat of the three-roads petition. He stated yesterday that he believed tho oppo' nents to the meosure were "pennywiue and pound foolish" In their action. He holds that with the N canlcum country built up, tnrougn gooa roans, to a thriving condition, Astoria will be more benefltted even than the district tapped thereby.

Secure your Seats tomorrow morning at Grlllln & Heed's, Suit has been brought against ihe steumer Jessie llorthwick by the As toria Iron Works through Fulton I'ro., to recover 1472.42 alleged to be due for machinery furnished the steamer. The com plaint recites that II. II. llorthwick, since le eas-d, entered Into an ogree menl with the firm, by which he was In pay f 1,000 when the tnuchtnery ar rived from the F.ust and the bulunee when Ihe steuni'rr's trial trip was made. No part of the amount bus ever been paid. The ateauu-r At-KI which Just arriv ed at Seattle from Skagway, b ought down i cargo consisting of 110,000 in bullion, the last mouth's clean-up of the TnudAell Company, und seventy live boxes of Wrangle Nurrows halibut. The Trcudwell monthly shipment was only about half the December clean-up of the company, but this is acouuted for by thv fact that nearly one half of tl.a slumps were Idle during Junu ury by reason of the water power which operates the pla.it being frosen up. Imiulry at tho offices of the transpor tation coinpinlrs In Portland failed to elicit any further information concern ing the rumor vh.it tae Whlu Collur Line had disposed of the Telephone and thu Huilcy (idtxert, or '.lllnr of them, lo parti s on thu Sound. The report Is current In Portlund, however, that negotiations with relation to a possi ble tranxf r of one or both of the boats have been under wuy but that there la no (lellnlte understanding that a con summation has been arrived at. Kl'ht bids were submitted for muk Ing repairs to the hull, boiler and ma chinery of the tinder Columbine to Cnptaln Lungftlt, of the L'nited Stales engineers. The department at Wash ington will pass upon the bids, taking into consideration not only the amount bid, but the time specllled In which to do tho work.

A letter has been received by Chief of Police Hullock from W.

On his second voyage he run away at Astoria. I hud several letter from him and he gave me tho address. As we have not heard from him for about four years, I have written on two oc casions to his address, which is the Altonu, tiS Main street, Astoria, Port land, Oregon, U. S. A., and also en closed stamps for reply, but we have not received any. I would thank you kindly If you would make Inquiries for me. His mother died lost April and he has eight brothers and sisters here, and we are all very uneasy as to his whereabouts," An attempt la being made to have Grays harbor selected as the American terminus of the Hawaiian cable. Sen. Foster is behind tne schema nnd says In explanation that the object to have the cable to go from Grays harbor was that engineers who have InvesilKated the subject say this point will bo much better than any other in the btaie of Washington. It practically would not be constructed from either of the Sound cities but from some point on the Pa cific. It Is claimed Grays harbor fur nishes better facilities for 'anding and that the deep vatcr from the north l.s less and presents no engineering dlttlcultles. Another feature favorable to Grays harbor Is that It would of ford ample telegraphic and railroad connections with the cable landing, The senator Insists that a cable on the northern routo would be much superior to one by way of Honolulu. A singular coincidence appears in the dally report of registrations at the county clerk's ofllce published in the Astonan. For several days past As toria precincts four and five have been running neck and neck. For several days tha tally sheet at the eh se of office hours has given these precincts exactly the same number, and In ad dition to this the two precincts men tioned have the highest number of reg istrations onx the list. There might be some tun were the voter of the re spective precincts to start up a contest to e which could be kept at the head of the list. In addition to the fun in volved, County Clerk Wherlty .nd hi deputies would be made corresponding ly happy through an ability to clean up the work of registration more rapidly. The Astorlan publishes tin report ev ery morning. Iet' ee how It will stand tomorrow. J. E. McGlllivray and Tho. W.

WILL THIS DO? Mr. Hammond Bays No Haw-Mills Are In ConterryilHtl.m. Mr. Hammond was seen at his desk In the Oregoiilan building yesterday by un Astorlan representative. He looks hale and hearty and seems In good spirits over the results of his Eastern visit. Asked concerning the rumor of the early erection of a saw-mill at Fluvel or In or contiguous to Astoria by the Astoria Company, Mr. Ham mond stated that he knew nothing about it. If the Astoria Company or any olh-rr company had any such In tention he had not heard of it. He fcald that he hoped It wu true, that there was certainly plenty of room and every Inducement for the construction of a saw -mill at the mouth of the Columbia river, and that he wu ready at any time to co-opi rate with the people of Astoria In making the published ru.nor of a saw -ml 11 In that s-Ttlon a reality whenever they got ready to act in the matt;r. Further than thla. he said he. had nothing to bay on the subject, una hud no information whatever to convey In that connection. ! THE AliOLITlON OF PRISON LOCK I STLP. J To the uninitiated the lockstep Is an i Interesting performance. It originated jlrom tha necessity of handling large bodies of convict a compactly a pos- slide.

Drew on Situation In Alaska. the Thomas G. Drew, owner of the only producing coal mine on the Yukon, Is on his way back to Alaska, hav ing come from New York, where he has business Interests. Mr. Drew ex presses much disgust at the reports that lawlessness is still running un checked in the north. Said he: "Tho postmaster at Capo Nome ha eald that lawlessness reigns and an archy has full way in Alaska. I wish emphatically and absolutely to deny these statements, which come from a man who has been but two months In ' the country and who wu In one spot the ntlre time. "I have been In Alaska for six years. And from the mouth to the source of the Yukon you will not come aero a man carrying a gun, nor I such a method of self-protection necessary In that country. The men who are there, are self-respecting and industrious, seeking a means of livelihood and to better their fortune. They are of a typo that would neither permit nor shut their eyes to lawlessness, and a man with money la safer In Alaska than he would be in this city, despite It police protection. The country pro tects Itself, for there Is but one means of ejrrcss from It, the river, and a man robbed would warn the authorities, and the river would be watched, while for the thief to take to the hill would be for him to die miserably from starva tion ar"I exposure. "Another story I should like to con tradict, s that Alatka either desire or is anxious for statehood, unless It Is on the part of some cheap politician, who has an oirice-seek!n? axe to prlnd. Our population i laryly made up of mln'-rs, who wander lo and fro, and have no fixed habitat, and, conse quently, do not consld r that country their home, but only a temporary abid ing pi ice. On the resident w ould fall the Increased taxation attendant on statehood, which thty d j not want. All we need In Alaka Is l United State commission and United Stale marshal at various point, while the jldlers Uncle Sam has there now, afford all the other protection needed. "My mine vuppllet all the Yukon river steamers, and I have Just clod a contract to supply government liver boats also. I shall leave In a few Jays, returning directly to Alaska, which country you now enter over the Ice, traveling by sles hauled by d gx A letter I have Just received, advise me that dogs are now selling at Daw son at 1100 apiece, so great is the de mand for them, on account of the de sire of mining ,rnen to reach Cape Nome, eighteen hundred mile away. My team of six dogs is waiting for me at Skagway, twenty-one miles from which place I strike the headwater of the Yutfon. You can make fifty miles a day this way, and there are now stations along the route where you can put up for the night. You feed the dogs once a day, at night, and give them, what you haYf, They will eat anything a hunnn being will. I have even known tiiem to eat beans." 0 FISHER'S PERA HOUSE L. E.
