Walter L. Main s Is afflicted with a
parasitic detraction such aa the "tat

skirts and mulcts such gudgeons as are

drawing card, and the Jangling hand

audiences In Astoria.

A special meeting of the city council
was held last night. The business be

passed, the terms being that the school

An afternoon paper statea that the

while on their recent cruise but were
served chlccory Instead. Such an
sertlon sounds ridiculous to any one
familiar with the regulations of the
naval service. The government sup
plies Its warships with one of the beet
grades of coffee purchasable In the
markets. "Old government" Java has
been adopted as a label and recommon
datlon for the coffee sold under that
name In the general market. It l
doubtful If the government In the whole
period of Us existence ever bought an
ounce of chlccory. Any man who can
not eat the rations served In the United

There Is great exclttfMent along the ;
middle Columbia over the trap driving
for fall fishing. Mor than a dogu
trap ar twin located tn tU Vicinity
Of CathlanWl, A well known trapper
was III A8torla yesterday making ar
rangements to drive three traits at the
mouth of SHomokawa slougt. His
trap will be driven In all fathoms of
water, which I the greatest depth that
any trap has been driven so (ar on the
Columbia. Trapper are allowed to
drlv piling tOO feet from high water
mark and In many Instances this dis
tance brings them up to th edge ot
the channel Traps are not supposed
to be driven In navigable water and
It la believed many of them will be or
dered out by the government authori
ties a soon aa the fall season opens. It
Is said that traps wilt be so plentiful
In the vicinity of Cathlamet aa to mak
navigation dangerous. They ar being
put In by the resident fishermen of that
section. As there Is no close season
Intervening from September 10, the
traps will be operated during th win
ter and up till February when the close
season commences. The price or Mil
Mlmon Is yet problematical, but more
canneries will be In operation then ever
before. The price has not yet been
stated by the cannerymen but It Is
the general belief thst two cents a
pound will be paid.
Yesterday was a great day In Astoria
great for both big and little, for Wal
ter Main's circus was In town, and
everybody turned out to see the ele
phant, to hear the clowns crack funny
Jokes and to listen to the lively music
which the bands always play when the
wonderous glort' of a hippodrome are
moving. Th crowds of people who
gathered early to view the parade
grew tired of waiting, however, as the j
hours dragged slowly and the proces
sion failed to make Its appearance.
There were opinions here and notions ,
there as to the vesatlous cause and j
the weariness It occasioned, but at two ;
o'clock all guessing was dispelled In
the appearance of the1 band wagon and
the stretching spectacle that trailed tn
It wake. What a swarm of striplings
followed the riotous callope, and
watched with prying eyes the laboring
artist who sent tooting melody through
the pipes of steel. The monkey, astride
the pony's back, and cutting dido
droll and Interesting, was none the less
an amusing feature to the host of
youngsters -who Imparked the pag
eant. The horseless carriage was an In
novation. Of course, the man was
present who said It could be a horseless i
carriage and still be pulled by a mule,
but this Jest of the humorist was
drowned In the echoing harmony from
the minstrel orchestra. There were
bear and snskes and ostriches with
long necks; alio, pretty horses and
prettier women In the saddles. Hand
some men adorned the cavalcade, and
were positively astounding with their
equestrian grace. All In all. the great
street carnival, and the attending ex
hibitions given under the vast-spreading
tents, will cause the circus to be
long remembered and will assure It a
warm welsom anal! It visit here again.
A VISION OF ASTORIA'S FUTURE
How th City Will Appear In 1904 as a
Grat Mart of Trade.
A very popular and well-Informed
citizen button-holed an Astorian rep
resentative yesterday, and eying him
fixedly for a moment, remarked that h
had a dream. "The vision," continued
the Informant, "waa not of a troubled
sort of essence, but a fantasy which
pictured in vivid and glowing colors,
Astoria as she will appear In 1904. The
spectacle was so clear and strong, so
brilliantly Intense," he added, "that
volumes written In distrust of sleeping
Illusions would not for one moment
shake my unbounded faith In Its ul
timate realltatlon. "
The reporter remarked that the scrip
tures contained many example of the
fulfillment of dreams, but the castle
builder was oblivious. Finally h re
marked: "I took a leviathan ship out
of San Francisco which had for Its
destination this city. The long, sweep
ing decks were crowded with people,
the service and the appointment of the
vessel were Incomparably elgant, the
weather was radlent with an effulgent
sun that glinted the waters with a
golden halo. There were few aboard
whose Journey's end was farther north
or east than Astoria, As odd as the
circumstances may appear. It seems
that I was a total stranger on the Pa
cific coast. In fact, I fell to talking
with a companionable fellow, and nue
tloned him keenly regarding the mar
velous growth of the Oregon seaport.
In response, he uplifted an arm, and
pointing forward of the bow, directed
my attention to a vast and spreading
cloud of smoke.
"That," he said, "Is the sun-shade
worn by the mistress of the Pacific
Northwest. I gazed In amazement.
Prolactins from this stupendous can
opy of drifting smoke were forests of
towering chimneys, miles of Interlacing
masts and spars and stately buildings

on the shores of the Tlhlne. A roar
from Innumerable factories rollod Ilk
a benediction over the surface of the
liver. The Columbia as far, and even
beyond the proturbernncs of Tongue

nation. Pretty little cities dotted the
border on the Washington shore, while
the stream known as Toungs river waa
spanned by powerful and high-reaching

the margin of New Tork. Tall and
majestic above every thing else, how
