Between Morrison and Yamhill Heavy Loss to the Portland A Asiatic Company by De lay of the Vessel. Vigorous complaints are being made by the local shippers about the quaran tine conditions at the mouth of the river. There are no suitable quarters where patients can be properly cared for. The Isolation houses consist of two small huts. In one of which Captain Mc Leod. master of the British steamship Kllerlc. is confined with a bad caae of smallpox; a sailor from the same vessel Is suffering with the malady In the other. J , Because no houses are available for the other members of the crew, the El leric may have to remain In quarantlno for several weeks, and possibly months. They are still aboard her, and as they have been expoaed to the disease they are likely to fall 111 at any moment The ahlp la being thoroughly fumi gated, and If no new case ahould de velop during the next two weeks she will be released. During her enforced Idleness the Portland 4k Asiatic company to whom the ateamer la under charter, la losing at the rate of 1215 a day. J. H. Dewson, manager of the line, was In Astoria yesterday, and is very much displeased at the altuatlon. Oeorge Taylor, of the export Arm of Taylor. Young & Co.. also paid a visit to the mouth of the river. Speaking of J he accommodations at the quarantine sta tion thla morning, he aald: "It la an outrage that there are not more adequate accommodatlona at the station. Several miles from Astoria there are a couple of small huts, poorly furnished, and these are the only places of habitation at the atatlon. The doctor looking after the cases can make but one trip a day. I had always been un der the Impression that the station was Well equipped, and that It would be pos sible to make the patlenta taken there comfortable. I also supposed that they would be given constant ears Until yesterday there was no one waiting on them half of the time. Finally a nurse waa secured from one of the vaudeville shows at Astoria and sent to the miser able huts laat evening. Captain Mc Leod Is dangerously 111, and unless he receives the best of care It la not likely that he will recover. "The steamer la being fumigated; the members of the crew have been vaccin ated, and they will be allowed to remain on board. .There should have, been ac commodatlona where they could have been taken ashore. Then if any new cases broke out the steamer would not have been delayed. There ahould be a resident- physician who would have nothing else to do but care for the sick. It Is probable that the Astoria chamber of commerce will endeavor to remedy the existing conditions by taking up the matter with the state delegation at Washington. If auch a step ahould be taken the Portland chamber of com merce wlU lend Its co-operation to bring about an improvement' BEEF BY WAY OR SOUND. a. m. steamer Geo. W. Virginia, from Portland.

JOHNS' NEW CITY CHARTER St. Johns' new olty charter, which will soon be aubmltted to the people for ratification, cloaely resembles the char ter of the city of Portland. It Is be ing prepared by Councllmen Monahan, Hughes and Hurlburt. who aim to have It completed by January 1, In order that It may go before the people and then be submitted to the legislature for ap proval. Under the new charter the mayor, councllmen, recorder, treasurer and city attorney are elective officers. There are four wards and two councllmen from each. The mayor appoints the city en gineer, all employes of the fire and police departments and other officers as may be designated, subject to the ap proval of the city council. The mayor, recorder and city attor ney constitute a civil service commis sion for the purpose of passing on the qualifications of all applicants for posi tions In the public service. Examina tions will be given thoae requiring an educational qualification. Laborers must be qualified voters of the city and must be able to read and write the English language. The framers of the charter are exert ing care in' preparing the document, as they desire to have a charter,, under which the town will be able to grow and make necessary Improvements. They have made provision for finances by fixing the tx levy at i mills. As the property tn the town Is quite valuable, thla la thought sufficient to meet ex penses. The town has a population of about 2,000 and Is growing very rapidly. It Zs Hot Thought Russian Army WlU Oet Its rood Via Portland. Local officials of the Portland & Asiatic company say they have received positive assurance that the beef ship ment coming from Omaha for the Rus sian government Is to be sent by way of Puget sound Instead of Portland, as waa reported in the press dlapatchea last week. Many of the exporters believe that the ahlpment will be made by way of the sound. Unless the Ellamy ahould come here, they declare that It would be Im possible to make the ahlpment from Portland. Beef Is contraband of war, and for that reason the companies hand ling the regular liners would refuse to handle it. Unlesa a tramp ateamer ahould be aent to the Columbia river there would be no meana of transporting the beef to Its destination. The British steamahlp Kllamy was re. ported to have aalled from Manila foe Portland on October 28. If ahe did so she Is now out 37 daya on the voyage, which ahould have been completed under ordinary conditions almost two weeks ago. The .conclusion has been reached by nearly all the ahippers that the steamer Is not headed In this direction st all. Had she aalled for here as stated they declare that ahe would have had to stop at some port In Japan to coal be fore atartlng out on the long trip across the Pacific. Speculation Is Indulged In as to what veasel will carry the beef shipment from the sound. It Is not believed that It will be permitted to go out on any of the regular liners, but thst a tramp steamer will be engaged.

It., and to further the plana and secure the co-operation of all the O. A. R. posts here a maas meeting will be arranged for by Past Post Commander John W. .Ogtlbee.

Clifford A Co. Beginning next Monday the steamer lone, operated by the Washougal Trans portatlon company, will make but four round trlpa a week between Portland and Washougal Instead of six The reason for the change ia the 'limited amount of freight now moving.
