The raft was entered at the customs house yesterday, the number of feet which It contains being given at S.000,000. Henry Tomans, of Portland, has brought his Phona-Optlcan to the city and stationed It at Jth and Bond streets. It provide tuneful music and sterepotit'an views simultaneously. Mr Yeomans claims It is the only Instru ment of Its kind in America. The Astorlan Is the on bright and newsy paper published on the Colum bia river. It sparkle with aU that Is fresh in the line of gossip, and con tains the full Associated Press report The people who read It appreciate It and those who do not read It, are com Ing in rapidly to subscribe. For many years science has studied liquors. Result the whole world uses whiskey. It has proven the best stim ulant and does not Injur nerve and tissues like coca wines and other drug ged compounds. And Harper Whiskey is the ideal whiskey. Sold by Foard A Stokes Co, Astoria Oregon. A band of Chinese vocalists In the celestial quarter, attracted an Inter ested crowd yesterday afternoon. The melody was copiously Interlarded with tom-tom beats. There was much un favorable criticism by the hearers, and one lassie with big bright eyes and a mouth like Cupid's bow, declared it was 'rotten." The agency for the best Incandes cent Vapor Gas lamp In the world has been established at 405 Bond street. Makes Its own gas and gives a brilliant and perfect light No smoke, no pipes, no wicks to trim, no Dicker. Cheaper than kerosene. This lamp Is rapidly superceding every light on the market. Call and examine. A coterie of bootblacks, hailing from Portland, invaded the city yester day. They perambulated the streets cautiously and looked askant the cor ners for any of the husky local youths who might fin occasion to question tbelr privileges. "We's no dare-devils, we's .gen'men," said one little urchin. "Moa of us Is goln' home tonight, but we's comln' down In groups for the regetty." t. .... The concert hall opened by Charlie Wise at No. 33 Astor street Is the one and only popular resort of Its kind In that vicinity. Mr. Wise is doing some thing new among concert halls. He Is nut only selling a class of pure liquor, but Is giving his place a management which Insures gentlemanly attention and treatment to bis patrons. The good music and the crowd will be found at Charlie Wise's place. Business was light with Pel Ice Judge Nelson yesterday, only two cases of drunkenness coming before the court James Dunn, a fisherman, who forfeited a bail of 110 the previous day on the same old charge, repeated his offense Wednesday night and was fined 13. Being without funds he will serve out his time In jail. A. Dele a farmer, was fined the minimum for being drunK, Jl This amount he paid into the city treasury and wended his way homeward. The steamer State of California is due from San Francisco this morning. Whether she will again be commanded by Captain Goodall Is a question. The captain Is now on Puget sound, pre paring to sail a large ship from those waters to the Golden Gate. It Is said that Captain Goodall fell heir to a comfortable fortune on the death of his father a few weeks ago. This fact, coupled with the knowledge that he was alreaiy In eaasy circumstances, indicates a possibility that he may re tire from longer active service. The pilot schooner JesBle is lying inside the O. R. ft N. dock. The Jessie has Just been overhauled and painted from water line to topmast and pre septs the appearance of a newly fitted out yacht. The arrangements to con vert her Into a deep sea fishing boat are yet under way and some alterations are contemplated In her compartments to fit her for the work. These changes can be made In less than two weeks, after whloh the Jessie would be with out an equal an the coast for swiftness and commodlousnes In the deep sea fishing Industry. The promoters of the enterprise In Astoria are making ell possible speed in formulating the plans and It Is expected that details will be completed by September 15 at the latest. On Saturday last Anton Schott gave his fourth recital at Sherman-Clay hall to a large and very attentive audience. An excellent program was provided and :n every respect It was an artistic performance. Herr Sehott's voice Is a fine organ In the forte pannage his powr Is am-uing and in the piano passage he has the necessary control to sing them with great delicacy. As parents live again In their children, teacher live again In their pupils, and It would be Impossible to And a mor.e brilliant example of the consummate art of teaching than Is afforded by j Miss Uxtnhu who has ben Hrr l Sohott s pupil for year and a half, j Probably Mist Gorxlon had a sweet and - j flexible voice to begin with, but It has been so well trained that her rendrr lug of Zerllns's song front "Don Giovanni" could not have failed to have pleasoj ven Motart himself. If Anton Schott csn produce many such mvrs he will b a public benefactor. -S. K. Bulletin, April It, ISM. There will be a urnutlon In Asto ria tomorrow. A typical -Rube" will parsle through the streets. He will be end uveU with very peculiar antics and cause a large crowd to collect and follow him. rvrhap he will be attired in while coat, short trouaer tucked recklessly Into tall boots, and a battered hat. Maybe his face will be upholstered In gorgeous red whis kers, and he will carry an umbrella and a big black dog. possibly he will measure sixteen feet In the air and not be drHl In the manner at all. In any event It Is Ben Buitenberg who has come to town. He Is known In every big city In the country and Is aa funny aa a circus. Still, he will look Wise, and perhaps you will find that iame on hi valise. Contractor Lebeck will commence work on the erection of the Swedish Lutheran church In East Astoria this morning. Mr. Lebeck will also put a gang of men to work putting a new roof on the music hall on Astor street Mr. Lebeck Is one of the busiest con tractors In the state and ha men at work In all parts of the city. He has sfoured the contract of building two rafts for th regatta committee and will commence on their construction today. One of the rafts will be used as a station from which fire works will be displayed and the other will be unvd as a starting point tor swimmers. These rafts will be 35 and 10 feet, re spectively. Mr. L'bvck will commence putting a new donkey engine on his pile driver today, besides making other Improvements. He expects to have this Job completed tomorrow. Contrac tor Lebeck is a bustling man. E. J. Arnold walked the streets yes terday In anything but a merry-go-round m xd. There was a deep-set ex pression of sorrow In his face, which at time found vent only In welling of tears. Friends occasionally met and accosted him, but he Invariably turned a deaf ear, and passed on, seemingly oblivious to surroundings and burled in an affliction that found no com fort In speech. Later In the evening, an assistant at the tent explained away the lamentation. "There has been a death in Mr. Arnold' family," he said. "In some manner utterly un accountable, the life of his home found an untimely end under the grinding wheels of the turnup. Poor Pedro, he was a good dog, and so pretty In dis position." Mr. Arnold will wear crepe for live months, which will measure the time his little Cockerel Spaniel spent In his smiles and blandishment. The tug Relief arrived In yesterday from Seattle and docked at the Pacific Coast Company's coal bunkers. The Relief hai in tow the British ship Ara go, from the Golden Gate to the Sound, and enjoyed a fine trip up the coast. The Arago Is chartered to load wheat on the Sounl and the scarcity of sail ors at that port made her towage to Seattle Impara.lve. The crew of the Relief are nearly all Astorians and 'hey have stayed with the tug since she went out of commission here last winter. She filled her bunkers with coal yesterday, beside taking on board a heavy deck load of sack coal, and will assist the tug Wallula in towing the Robertson log raft this morning. On reaching the heads, the raft will be towed to the Golden Gate by the Relief and Rescue. Both these tugs belong to the Spreckels Company, and the contract specifies that the raft shall be taken to Its destination In safety. There Is every indication that hun dreds of people will visit Be aside next Sunday to witness the fearless exploit of Dr. Rlehl with hi life-saving kite. It Is not long ago that two of the leading newspapers of San Francisco made a jfreat mystery of the case of a man swimming In the bay, and with a pack tied to his back, truggllng desperately for life in the water. The captains of three large vessels were fooled to the extent of sending boat hurriedly to his rescue. The man was Dr. Rlehl, and the boatamen were surprised when he spurned their of fers of assistance, and pointing to his kites, rapidly sculled away Into disap pearance. Dr. Rlehl will represent a great steamer wrecked and the sim ple manner by which the passengers may be saved. The sight should be a thrilling one. The Astoria special will leave at 8:30 o'clock, and the return trip can be made either at 2:30 o'clock In the afternoon or at S o'clock in the evening. Harry Hampton, of Portland, who discharges the somewhat noisy and voluble duty of auctioneer at Gray's Racket store, Is a man of broad com prehension and wide experience. Har ry appears to best advantage when he occupies the boards, and detects some spruce Jay imong his auditor who Imagines he Is wise, and desires to give the fact publicity. It takes but a moment for Mr, Hampton to square about, and plant a solar plexus quip that sends him reeling under a shout of laughter. For a great many years, Harry was a bright star In the theatrical firmament. There never to day Is a popular company appears In his territory but that he la called on by the fraternity aand proffered th pasteboard that entitle It holder to th uest seat In th house, At one lime, Mr. Hamilton was recognised a leading banjolst. It Is a question whether ther Is any amateur (slant In the Pacific northwest that at this stage can compute with him. Harry, In hi meandering last evening, fell Into the coiiipanlonshlp with Billy Hottlott of the banjo team of Kormaan and Howlott, now playing at the Lou r. Jokes were cracked and remin iscence discussed, and finally ait ad journment taken where savory vintage brought Into review the halcyon days and cheered th spirits of the happy participant. "It's a long tint since I faced th footlights and won th plaudits of an audience." said Harry at -tartlng. "but I am lit a invn ,.l,l age, and fit to try again, provided ,of courae, our competitor Impose a lit-, ense on my eloquence." There la plenty of athletic frolle In tor for Astorlnn tomorrow, provided, of course, good dam nature smiles serenely and brook no Interference from th realm of cloudlaml. The sport In question attache to th Pa. clflc Northwest Athletic Association game which are to b held on th nw A. F.

Al though It rained continuously the two days that the party were tramping through the waxls, the result of th trip Is highly satisfactory.

More than halt the distance to Olney a fair wagon road has been built al ready. By using this new route, th distance from Olney to the Nehalem will be hortened not less than on mile and some think nearly two. Th resident along the Claskanlne and the Nehalem are determined and enthus- 1 lastlc on .he question, and several of them have offered to give a week's i labor to brush out the line, so that . viewers and surveyors will have no trouble In locating the road on the best grades. TRUTH IN SPIRITUALISM. I An Astoria Man Relates an Interesting Test Made With the Famous Slater. "Talk about spirits and spiritualism," said a man yesterdny who had been reading with much Interest the Lamp man Interviews In the Astorlan, "Just let me tell you a circumstance that actually occurred In Denver at the time John Slater was giving a series of entertainment In that city.
