John A. Devlin's cannery. A little daughter arrived in the family of O. P. Graham last Wednes day. B. A. Seaborg is building a cannery at the mouth of the Stickeen river. He will begin canning salmon July 1st. Phil Bower has our thanks for late copies of Honolulu papers with in teresting accounts of the great lava overflow. The upper Astoria public school will open on Monday, the 7th inst., with Mr. M. H. Parker as principal and Mrs. Kate B. Lake as assistant Chas. Heilborn has four carloads of furniture on the way and will have an extensive stock for intending pur chasers to select from when it ar rives. Theic will be school meetings in school districts No.'s 1, 9, and 18, noxt Monday evening, at 7:30. In each district a school clerk and school di rector will be elected. Seaside Lodge No. 12, A. O. CJ. V., hold their first meeting in their now hall to-night. Grand master J. T. Brown and grand recorder D. T. Wheeler are expected to bo present. The British bark iV'tWioZo.? Thayt r, 550, Sormau master, arrived iu yester day from San Francisco, powder la den; she will load lumbpr for San Francisco and from there take can nery supplies to Alaska. The Portland council of the re formed church have fired out "JJev."' A. J. Olinger, for alleged misdoings. "Deceitful braggartisms" and "illu sory presentations," whatever they may bo, aro among the things the council couldn't stand. There aro 139 children of school ago in school district No. 9, upper Astoria, 71 boys and 08 girls; of this number. 112 attend school, 57 boys and 55 girls, or 80 per cent of the whole number considerably above tho average. Among1 tho items in tho civil appro priation bill passed by both houses of congress is an appropriation of 10, 000 for the establishment of a salmon hatchery on the Columbia, its tribu taries or branches, and 500 for the repair of the cable between the capo and Fort Stevens. News items from city and county aro alwaj-s acceptable at this office. Our readers can aid in making this paper the mirror of the place by send ing in items of local happenings. The only reason no mention is made of a good many occurrences is that nothing was known of them. The new militia law changes things considerably in the state organiza tion, and till it is interpreted by com petent authority, the boys aro in tho same fix as the railroad presidents with the interstate commerce, law. If tho gentlemen who drafted house bill No. 30 will kindly rise in his seat and explain the explanation he will confer a favor on a large circle of ad miring friends. Considerable east bound freight is on the way here, several merchants and business men forestalling the effects of a rise in freights by order ing largely at the present low rates 65cents a hundred. As soon as the railroad companies begin to tighten the cinch it will not be of so much advantage to reside at a terminal point as it has been, in the matter of overland freights. Railroad agents and freight clerks in this and every other point on the coast have received a circular rela tive to tho workings of the interstate commerce law, for their instruction and guidance in caso the cat should jump the way it is supposed it will. The same law is the biggest puzzle now before tho Amoricau people. Tho smartest railroad men in the country don't know how it will work and can only suppose and trv to fix things so they won't get loft when tho 6th of next month comes round. Seldom has anything been started in Astoria that has had such favor able and general consideration as the building aud loan association. There are now 1,063 shares taken, represent ing S212.G00. Tho intention is to organize about Thursday next. A cor poration of this nature can form per manent incorporation and start in actual business as soon as fifty per cent, of the capital stock is taken. It is thought that when 1,200 shares have been subscribed a board of di rectors will be elected and work bo gun. It is now thought probable that the shares will be at a premium. A dispatch was received in this city yesterday announcing the death of Judge Samuel B. McKee, of San Francisco. Judge McKee had only recently retired from tho supreme court bench and was greatly respect ed as a jurist and as a cultured gen tleman. Deceased leaves two sons in this city Ed. D. McKee, manager for Meyer, Wilson & Co., aud Robert I. McKee, the well known and popu lar attorney. There aro also two sons and daughters who reside in Oakland, CaL JVcws, 1.

Statements and Observations Made at tho Meeting. Tin Interstate Coinmcnv Law a Thing For the Canadian Pa cific ttallroid. .xl The latency of tho hour at which the conference with General Anderson closed 4fi5t Thursday bvenicg delayed the ap pearance of a full report of tlia proceed ings. In addition to the report which was published in yesterday morning's Asto eiav, the following is transcribed from the notes of the shorthand reporter who tooK aown tne conversatien: "After Mr. Holden gave General Ander son statistics regarding the number of vessels entering and clearing for foreign ports, also coastwise, the freight and passenger business between hero and Portland, Dr. A. C. Kinney observed that these statistics did not include grain brought from beyond Portland; if we could get down on this road grain that was started on lines east of the moun tains, such business would be in addition to the estimates given; also the lumber business that would originate here and go east on cars. J. Q. A. Bowlby asLed if ocean steam ers would not put off express aud quick freight goods hero to bo shipped by rail from this plaeo to the east and to the Sound. General Anderson thought that some such business might be done if steamers would take time to stop here long enough. J. Q. A. JJowlby remarked that goods would go through much faster by taking train here. General Anderson ''Yes; that would depend npon the hours tho trains left, and upon the way business was transacted. 1 believo some of you gentlemen had correspondence with l'res dent Harris upon the subject." K. C. Holden "Yes; the chamber of commerce had, and President Harris replied that if tho conditions wero favorable the N. 1. It. Co. would take it np." If General Anderson would like io see the corre spondence, ho had it. General Andorson said he had seen tho letters in New York andcentinued: "It is lest to look this business in the face. This reminds mo of a story they tell of Abraham Lincolu, who, on one oocosiou, was out with a young man connected with the road thoy were surveying; a kind of follower; and some ono asked tho young mail if he had xuado up his mind when ho was going back. Ho said he was waiting for some ono to make np his mind for him. Now in this caso Mr. Harris had mndo up his mind, but the interstate coinmerco bill upsets all his calculations, and it is only fair io say at tho beginning that the N. P. It. Co, will not take up any proposal to build any projectod road as long as the inter state commerce bill is in force; unless it is given a different interpretation from that which appears in tho text. E. C. Holden inquired if he thought tho bill would work especially against those places situated in tho far west. Gen. A. "cry much.. I think ou are in the worst position of anybody. Tho only way we can judgo of this new piece of legislation is from the way it 111 erally states its provisions." 'V?e know what tho men niennt that introduced tho bill. Whether the con gress that passed it as a whole meant tho same thing, remains to bo seon. There is a very largo discretionary pow er vested m the president and tho com missioners, and thoy may not give it the strict construction as it reads." "As correspondence had been held upon tho subject between tho chamber of commerce and tho head df tho com pany, I thought it only fair and right to come down and meet the chamber of commerco and other business men of Astoria. Now upon being- here, I am very much surprised at some things. I had no idea you had so much business in this town.' Dr.KinneyobserTed that no estimate had been made for tho carrying of tho mails nor for carrying fresh fish and oysters. He would like to hear from Mr. Devlin. Mr. Devlin said ho had nothing to shy, as General Anderson had put the quie tus upon present propositions. General Anderson said in this regard he only wished it understood that while the interstate commerce bill was in force they could do nothing. He was askod would it make any difference with their building the road from "Walla "Walla. Gen. A "No; because thai is in Washington territory and tho bill does not apply to territories." Mr. Holden observed that it seemed that the less railroad a company had the better off they were. Gen. Anderson "Yes; I think you are l'RKTir WELL riXKD IK ASTORIA Because vou have tho river and the ocean and tho Canadian Pacific It. It., which are not affected by the bill." W. "W. Parker said there seemed to be one-elastic clause which might be inter preted not unfavorably; that tho bill might be construed by tho commissioners in a way not to bear" too hardly on ter minal points. Yet the effect of the bill probably would bo to cut off a large part of freights from terminal points or com pel it to come by water or other ways. "We flatter ourselves that we could show that the gross receipts of this road would be in addition to what is .now re ceived, somewhere from 75,000 to 13."i,000 tons without making any great allowance for developmente." Gen. Anderson said he would like someone well posted to tell him the pro portion of freight tho railroad would likely receive as against the river. Mr.rarker said no account hail been taken of the increase of business that would occur from grain starting about "Walla "Walla and coming through to As toria without stopping at Portland. Tho statistics only showed tho actual amount the O. It. &N. Co. had been compelled to lighter down. If it could be brought hero cheaper there would bo a great deal more brought here direct aud shipped from here. C. W. Fulton said it would seem rea sonable that as a great deal of grain must be shipped into Portland by rail as well as a great deal of merchandise now beginning to bo shipped directly from the east; that all such would come on to Astoria without transshipment. Gen. Anderson "I think there is no doubt that any goods shipped to Portland in carload lots would como right through. But my question was what proportion of tho traffic would a railroad get?" "yOU nAVE A rjlKTTT GOOD HIVfcH Here, and the ocean, and another favor able point is the Canadian Pacific It. It. They can get here as well as anybody. There would not be moro than ono or two days difference in time and they aro com petitors we have to meet everywhere. If congress had in xieic Vic exclusive in terests of the Canadian Pacific It. R. and (lie Pacific Mail Steamship company, it could have done nothing better than to pass the interstate commerce bill. It will increase the income of the Canadian Pa cific li. R. Co. three millions of dollars this year." J. Q. A Bowlby thought tho Canadian Pacific railroad could not get grain. Gen. A "Why, they say they are com ing here to get it." "But they would not bring grain to this plRW. ' Gen, A. "No; they would take it to ports on the Sound and Bhip it to Liverpool." J. H. D. Gray remarked that the ton nage, pilotage and lighterage between hero and Portland amounted to 60 cents a ton, which would bo a fair freight for a railroad if the cars could tako salmon nnd other froidit back acain Someone remarked that often tho larger vessels did not want to go up to Portland at all. If they had propor con- t vonionco thoy would load here. Uon. Anderson tnougnt largo vesaem would take grain at Astoria if it cost $1 por ton more, in preference to going to Portland, because they would save so much time, if Astoria had facilities for loading vessels, and tho grain to. load them with. Dr. Kinney observed that if all the ves sels stopped hero and loaded, tho trans portation business would be $003,000 rather than the estimate wo had made. He asked how the inter state commerco bill would affect the great portion of freight on this road. Gen. A. "Between here and Portland it would not affeot it at all, being all in the same state. But between here and Walla Walla and other places outside tho state it would affect it in this way: that tho rate must be greater between such places and here than between them and Port land because the distance is greater." Judge Page agked if it was considered a disadvantage to have to build a rail road along a river. Gen. A. "Yea." Judge Page said the lumber business would greatly increase. The logs sawed in Portland and vicinity mostly came from this part of tho state and of courso if there wero hotter facilities for ship ping lumber a great deal moro lumber would be sawed here. It is a fact be yond dispute that nearly all tho raw material comes from this portion of the Columbia river. Dr. Kinney thought that there wero far more imports into Astoria than into Se attle or Tacoma, and that vessels coming here loaded could afford to carry grain away cheaper than a ship in ballast could do. Gen.-Anderson was surprised to hear that VSTOKU IV PORTS ilOEK 'JHAN SEATTLE, fhe lattdr town being much the larger. Dr. Kinney said ho believed our imports were i wice as great, as we had nearly as much discharged here from Liverpool ships as Portland. Gen. Anderson thought that vessels coming loaded with tea and merchandise for tho Canadinn Pacific railroad would take cargoes from f he Sound. Some ono aked if grain from eastern Washington aud Oregon could not bo brought cheaper to Astoria than trans lortrd over the N. P. R. I. to Tacoma. Gen. A. said thero would not bo much difference and tlw N. P. It. It. running through a country whero cheap coal was obtainable had the advantage oyer tho O. It. fc N., and instanced tho li. x U., aud tho N. Y. Central. f.f. Parker. "We have ooal fields near by that only need developing." "Speaking of aividing t no ireigut be tween railroad and river tne ranroau would get three fourths of what passes botween hero and l'ortlanu. Jt wouui get all the lumber, all the salmon, all the grain coming this way, and thesa three products means three-fourths of the ton liUC IUUVCU U VL UIMT4I kUU 11, Ul. Gen. Anderson asked if that would not deoend unon what the roads charged. Suppose tho O. Tt. x N. cared to load and transfer grain aud lumbsr nt the same rates, what then? t T-? ... :j 11..1 n. ,i s ur. xviiiuey auiu mm mu uu.i i-uii ui handling lumber would be very heavy. It would cost GO cents per M feot at tho lowest estimate. Gen. Anderson thought that wnsat bound for Astoria would go right through on cars, bnt with regard to salmon, they might, for tho sake of opposition, carry it to Portland for nothing. Capt. Gray said that in regard to lum ber it must be remembered that tho rea son most of it was taken i rom hore was because of the extra good quality of the fir. The mills iu Portland and hero PBfci'KB it run EtriLuixa axi visisuixt;. "After you get np tho country to the Cowlitz vou get a red fir. and I think I am correct in saying that three-fo'iri' while tho towaco from lumber camp? to our Astoria mills is only about 15 cents, so that lumber could be manufactured here proportionately cheaper." Judge Page asked if he understood Gen. Anderson to say his company -would not seriously entertain anj proposal fox building a road here. Gon. A. "I do not think they will un der present circumstances." "Do you think they would recoive, fa vorably, information sent them from time to time, if the inter state commerce bill is construed favorably.' Gen. A. ''Yea, if it does not sweep a3 a whirlwind over all the railroads of the country; then 1 think our people will take the matter up.' Judgo l'ago 'TliPre is anolhn miller wo have frequently talked over in our meetings here as to the welfare of the place; that is tne policy ot your company in receiving subsidies, wnether your companj would desire any financial'sub sidy and terminal rights. Whether it in the" policy of yonr company to accept such or not?" Gen. Andeison. "That dependa upon circumstances. The general policy of tho company is not to receive such, but hero is a road which, when const rncted, will, 1 think, cost a great deal more than our average branch lines and although I have not talked the matter over with tho president or directors, I think they would want tho people of Astoria to give them some substantial aid, and'eertninly to furnish them with good facilities for doing bnsines3 with the city." Dr. Kinney. "Do you doubt that this road would pay V" Gen. Anderson. "J doubt it for tne present. It would take, I think, little short of ono and ono quarter millions dollars to build it: six percent, on that, or supposo tho company issued bonds, to pay fixed charges alone outside of cost of building it would require about $87,500. This road, if built, would have to he run pretty cheap to competo with tho river, and X do not think it could be operated for less than half its receipts, that is taking into account tho low rales we would havo to charge." Judge Page. "lue summer travel is very considerable, say 10,000 per month. I think it is estimated that 32,000 people visited the coast last summer. The Olympian made three trips weekly with from 150 to 500 passengers aboard.' Gen. Anderson said that part of the traffic would be very important for tho railroad, running down m half the time, would be sure to get it. W. E. Dement said that a railroad from here would be sure to carry a great many passerfgera to aud from Portland to the ocean steamers. Mr. Holden asked if the commission ers would be expected to express their construction of tho inter state commerce bill before it was put in operation. Gen. Anderson. "No; they were sup posed to judge upon points only as they were brought before them. The com missioners are not supposed to revise schedules -unless -complaint is made oi tuo extra nr conies ironi -niium . oi , uu ., -NXu 4i MV ' A 'aK M sec I nnu cno oi uauy ton reiieveu in one 40 mile? of the mouth of the Ool-nr., 1 1 ;?l j' SN IL 8 W -'S1 7fK) minute by tho Cuticura Anti-Pain r;vpr- 'V , v' , t' n ' , , ., . blaster.

Anderson know what action tho railroAd mm. panies intended to take' when the bill went into effect. Gen. Anderson. "Withdraw nil special rate3 and fix rates. Bates must be nut up in every station whore everybody oan sco them." Mr. Crosby asked if the It. It. Co. conld let tho rates between here and the east stand say if it were 1 cent, must they withdraw it? Gea. Anderson. "Yes, unless they were content to lower all rate3 between here and the east proportionately lower than tho one cent rate. This they will not do. They will 3AI3E HATES TO EXTBEME WFSTWIS POINTS And let existing rates to near points stand." "If the inter state commerce bill had a different title it would be moro in keep ing with its effects and practical result. It will give the C. P. R. R. Co. $3,000,000 moro businoss hero in th noxt three months. I behove tho C. P. R. R. Co. will tako nearly all the business from hero and Portland." Judgo Taylor "If tho volume of through freight should be increased, which is probable, how would tho work ing of the interstate commerce bill prove detrimental to yonr company?" Gen. Anderson "In any event, tho fact that the Canadian Pacific, a com peting line, by reason of its territory is exempt from our American law, the need for rearranging the entire schedule, and tho evident difficulty of making any movo under an obscurely worded and ambiguous law, which may be interpreted different ways, and mako a company liable to penalty, even when honestly trying to comply with its ambiguous pro visions." J. F. Halleran: "In j'our judgment, under existing conditions, is the inter state commerce bill a bar to the building of the N. P. R. R. extension from Hnnt er's Point to Astoria?" Gon. A. "Yes. I think it is. That bill upsets all our calculations, and till the commissioners interpret the meaning of some of tho sections wo don' t want to make any movo towards construction." Aftar some fow additional desultorj' remarks and the expressing of thoir ap preciation of the courteous and direct answers they had received from General Anderson to their questions, thoo pros en took their leave.
