The bar reports yesterday stated that a schooner which, presumably, whs the Jessie, waa In sight off the mouth of the river. It developed la ter, however, that It was a sealing schooner which had been sighted. The Jesttlc Is not expected for several days, unless she runs Into an unusually heavy school of fish. Flh thieves are becoming more numerous, and the superintendents of tho canneries have decided to join hands In hunting the thieves down and prosecuting them when caught This afternoon the man caught stealing fish from Tallent's cannery will have hla hearing before Justice Brower. The evidence against the man Is conclu sive. The state pilot boat San Jose Is out In, place of the pilot schooner Pullt ser, which Is In the harbor and will be given a thorough overhauling before going to sea again. Yesterday a num ber of the pilots, who own the Pulltser, and who are proud of the boat as they have a right to be, were on board cleaning up odds and ends and getting the schooner ready for her trip to a drydork. It is probable that San Fran cisco will be selected as the place to dry dock the vessel. REGISTRATION OF VOTERS. Total Number of Names on the Roll to Date.

Will A.k Commercial Orsalislless ts Tike lbs Mslter Is Hsutitlos of a Blf Feartk el July Ceksritlos. It is probable'that at the next meet ing of both the chamber of commerce and the I'ush club, a matter of doing some practical and Immediate good for Astoria will be brought up, and both commercial bodies will be asked to deal with the proposition in a more practical and effective way than by passing a series of resolutions. The members of the organizations mention ed will be asked to personaly and in dividually work to help the projects along, as well as to do colloctlve work, as members of the chamber of com merce and the commercial club. What these two organizations are going to be asked to work for. In fact, to boom, Is first: Sunday excursions to Astoria throughout the coming sum mer, and, second: To help arrange for a monster Fourth of July celebration In this city. It is understood that within a short time the railroad company Intends to withdraw Its 25 cent rate of fare be tween Portland and Astoria. The first duty that will develop upon tte com mittee the business men will ask the chamber of commerce to appoint, will be to ascertain the Intentions of the railroad company regarding passenger rates during the coming summer. If the 25-cent rate Is to be continued, then the subsequent work of the committee will be easy. It will only be to ar range for and run excursions to As torla from Portland ev?ry Sunday and to provide such features of Interest and amusement here, as will be an In ducemcnl for crowds of people to visit this city. If the 25-cent rate is to be abolish ed, then the committee . will be ex pected to make the best terms posel ble with the railroad company for Sun day excursions. Once here, the people who visit us can have their choice of short excursions by sail boat or by launch to pointa of Interest on the rlv er; baseball at the A. F. C. park; band concerts, or visits to the great flsh can neries, or any one of a score or more of forms of amusement that can eas lly be arranged for and without great cost. The railroad company will undoubt edly run their Sunday excursions from Portland to' Beaslde this year, as they did last year. What the committee of Astoria's business men will have to do, will be to demand and secure an eqult able excursion rate for Astoria on the Seaside excursions, so that people who would prefer stopping In Astoria to going on to Seaside, may be able to do so. "It looks like a tough proposition,' said a business man yesterday, "but he added, "it's about time we got out and tried to do something for the Astoria of the NOW, as well as the Astoria of the future. If we can boom things locally a little bit this summer, we will be In a shape to undertake greater problems. The great trouble with us down here baa been that we have been reaching out for too much and, in consequence, have got nothing-. "Now I am told," continued the pro gresslve man, "that an average of at least 1,500 people can be brought here, or to Astoria and neighboring points, nearly every Sunday, providing they can be brought cheap enough. That would mean the leaving in Astoria ard tributary towns, of about 12,500 cash each week. "I wonder how many people In AstO' ria realize what the distribution of 12.500 cash each week in this town for, say three months, would mean to As torla. when added to the ordinary vol ume of trade? I'll promise you they will appreciate results, If we can only bring It about. "And there la no reason why we should not at least try and do so. From figures easily obtainable, we could safely estimate at least 500 visitors each week on Sunday during the good weather this summer and not $500, but nearer $2,500 will be the amount of money they will spend having a good time.

These people will spend the money somehow, somewhere, every week of their lives' and if they come to Astoria they will get value re ceived, penny for penny, for tvery cent they spend. All we have to do Is to provide a means for their coming with in reach of their purses and the natur al advantages of Astoria as a place for a day's outing will do the rest" The Fourth of July celebration prop osition seems, at first glance, to be a little premature. But It Is not. If Astoria takes the lead, arranges a pro gram, fixes the way for people to get here and home again cheaply and does It first, it will have but few, If any, rivals on the river for the celebration of the "Glorious Fourth." And that is the idea of the business men who want to discuss Fourth of July In May. "Get It first," is their motto and as they have made It pay In their pri vate affairs, they surely have reason to believe the same principle Would be successful In dealing with the affairs of the city. If Astoria will It can give the great est rourtn or July celebration ever known In the Northwest. Thousands of people will visit the city and leave It with a remembrance of having bad the best time they ever had on the Fourth of July. And the committee that the citizens will ask the chamber of commerce and the Push club to appoint, will be ex peeled to commence at once and boom Astoria's Fourth of July jubilee. They will have abundance of help. Astoria Is by no means a slow town. Show her people where and how they can make both ends meet at the same time give the strangers within her gates a Jolly, good time, "their money's worth," and you will find the Astorians there to a man. The Fourth of July celebration Is a matter of local pride as well and Astoria has not covered Itself with an unusual amount of glory in recent years, in observing the day, What Astoria wants is to have strangers visit the city; see what we have already and realize what en eigy and capital can do here, If right ly applied. The way to secure visitors, the way to advertise the city, is to bring the people here; offer them an inducement to come, if only for a day'i outing. Once here, the city and Hi splendid opportunities for investment and future growth, will do the rest The war cry is, bring people to As torla, now. NEW QUARANTINE STATION. Bids for Constructing the Wharf and Disinfecting Buildings to Be Opened This Month. The new government quarantine sta tlon at Knappton Is to be rushed through to completion. Word has been received by Quarantine Officer Hast Ings that the plana for the disinfecting wharf and buildings have been ap proved and bids for the construction of the same will be examined and the contract awarded by the supervising architect on May 28 next He is also notified that the disinfecting machinery has been shipped so as to be ready to put In place as soon as the wharf and buildings are finished. The quarantine wharf will be 250 feet In length and 60 feet in width and will be built K0 out from the shore line. This will give a depth of 23 feet of water at extreme low tide, and few feet beyond the wharf line there will be a depth of 35 feet of water at low tide, sufficient to float any ship In existence. There will be the structures rn the quarantine wharf, each 100 by 30 feet One of these will be used to house the disinfecting machinery and the other will contain the baths, laundry, etc, for the use of people held at the sta tion under quarantine. The disinfect ing plant is sufficiently large to per mit of the handling of 700 persons and their baggage each day. The contract for these buildings specifies their com' pletlon within 60 days from the date of the letting of the contracts. In addition to the disinfecting build ings proper the station will, in time, be equipped with buildings on shore that will accommodate 1,200 people, resident quarters for the doctor and his assistants and also quarters for the officers of ships held at quarantine. Dr. Hastings expects to be at work in his new quarters before the end of the summer although none of the shore buildings will have been finished that time. In the event of a shipload of people being quarantined before the quarters are built an abandoned can nery standing near the wharf will be used aa quarters. When completed the Columbia river quarantine station will be the most complete, with but two exceptions, in the United States. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS. R.
