The A. C section force rolled In yesterdiy, mi finding th rain adapt ed to th purpoee, dismissed other du ties and thoroughly cleansed the depot platform. In consequence, th affable ticket agent wore a broad and spread ing smile all day. The irrepressible rain, wbv I copious shower, all B.ppevl,d the Woodburns from cro!uit bats with tha A. F.

Mrs. David Kindred received a let ter on Sunday from a Skagway friend wherein mention waa mad of th death of Johnny Heycocka. whos fun eral took place on August 2s. Th Hey cock family were old residents In As toria previous to removing: to Alaska. There was some excitement In th lower end of the city yesterday after noon, when smoke and flames were discovered issuing from a point oppo site Kinney's cannery. An Investiga tion disclosed that workmen had adopt ed this means of destroying the Chi nese mess house In order to clear the site preparatory to the erection of the pro pose 1 new plant for the Standard Oil Company. The crew of the Jessie was completed Sunday for deep sea fishing cruise. The Jessie will leave In a few days In command of Captain Henderson. There Is a good deal of Interest manifested by the promoters of the enterprise and there is little doubt what the Jessie's first trip will be successful. The boat has been altered to meet the new re quirements and about 15 tons of Ice will be taken on the trip. The Blue Label endorsed ai a meet ing of the Columbia River Fishermen's Protective Union, held last evening, the following resolution waa unani mously adopted: Restlved. That we, the members of Fishermen's Tnlon of Astoria hereby endorse the "Blue Label" of the Cigar Makers Inter national Union and will pledge our selves to do all In our powern to en courage and advance the sale of un ion made cigars. Martin Foard attempted to drive to Seaside on Sunday with his family, but on reaching a point about midway be tween Astoria and the beach, his team stuck in the mud, which necessitated a return trip. It would seem that th thoroughfare is passable with the ex ception of one connecting strip or road which, according to Mr. Foard, has r.o discoverable bottom. The road com missioners should give the matter their immediate attention. The rumors of the death of Mrs. Jos. Maecki, that was published In the Budget last Saturday, was stoutly denied by that gentleman when seen by an AstorUn representative In Portland Sunday. Although Joe privately ad mits having one foot In the grave and the board of health making frantis en deavors to push the other one In, he still feels Justlf!l in announcing for the benefit of bis many Astoria friends that he Is very much alive, and wishes to be kindly remembered by them all. ' Second Officer Haehme, of the Harry Morse, has on board three fine speci mens of the Alaska dog. Mr. Huehme worked for the mounted police on the Yukon between Selkill and Skagway for over a year and used the dogs on a pack team. One of them was used as Our Great... Removal Sale a leader and Is a very Intelligent ani mal. They are full blooded Alaska pack dog and are valued at IS each. One of them la the mother of slitter of nine pupa, born on board the More ftv day ago, Th young ones will be taken In char' by Net Stmonson, the cook of th Morse, who will take them to his ranch on th Lewis river. Mrs. Huehme will leave In a few days for Seattle and will ship the dogs to his brother at Dawson City. Ivor Roes, whose father Is Mr. J. T. Ross of Roes. Hlgglns Co.. cam near losing his life yesterday. The lit tle fellow, while pitying about Fisher's dock, lost his tooting and fell headlong Into th river. Fortunately, ratrlck Lynch, to whom Ivor now owes his existence, saw th we body strug gling near the pier and hastened his rescue. As the quick- ' ) th emergency. fc and gal- .--"rick grasped an oar, ,. -ung th water's surface thrust it nnder Ivor's body, and was thus en abled to float him to safety. All honor Is du Patrick for his noble deed. There Is a growing desire that Mr. Whipple may see his way clear to en- targe the capacity ot the Palace res taurant While the service Is perfect and th patron are given every Im aginable attention. It seems to be com ing more generally recognised as a place where a really fine meal can be obtained, and In consequence, ampler quarters would mean a targer patron -In fact the exclusive first-class patronage of the city. The Palace res taurant take precedence over all Port. land chop houses In so far as general excellence Is concern!, and Is fully as good a the best In San Francisco, The American bark Harry Morrse arrived yesterday from Nushagak rtv er, Bristol bay. Alaska, with the sa son's salmon pack of the Alaska Fish ermen's Packing Company. The Morse waa 24 days on the passage and has on board S1.1M cases ot salmon. She docked' at the A. ft C. warehouse, where a portion of th cargo will be discharged. Captain Fullerton says he had a fine passage having met with favorable winds during the trip. The fishermen engaged by the company for the season and the Chinese hands em ployed In the cannery are on board Then consist of 48 white men and 7 Chlnemen. The mee are all In perfect health and will be paid off by the com pany today or tomorrow. Captain Ful lerton says he sighted a four-masV't British ship off the river on August JO. She waa In ballast and from an Oriental port bound in. She hauled off to sea the following day and disappear ed. The Morse only secured a tug yesterday morning after being four days off the river. It Is a pity that a fair and respect able city like Astoria should be blight ed with a scrofulous Journalistic sore, such as the Weekly Herald. Its col umns oose with fetid and imbecile prating. Its utterances are botched and ungrammatical and its general character loathsomely maladorous. The Herald's recent low-minded and ven omous allusion to the editor of the Oregonlan would shame It In community peopled by the demi-monde. Had the papr a semblance of circula tion, an indignant society would no doubt arise and prudently sprinkle It with chloride of lime. As It Is. its flip- flop Jargon la reasonably restricted and an Intelligent public Is shielded from filth. It is not to Its liking that the Astorian thus defiles Its colu.nns by reference to a polluted and pipe-dream Ing dodger of the Herald stamp, but as It has seen fit to distort Itself In sev eral scurrilous screeds directed at this Journal, It merits and must take the castlgatlon which Its bumptiousness entails. It is fortunate that the newspaper field Is fairly clear ot such rancid excrescences. For such as ex 1st, there Is an appropriate place, but it Is not In this world nor the King dom of Heaven. A regular meeting of the Push fclub was held last night. In the absence of President Hamblett, Mr. Schernec- kau was chosen chairman. The com mittee having In charge the building of the ampltheater reported that archl teet Ferguson waa drawing up plana for the building which would be ready to pre.nt at the next meeting. Th building will be lSOxliH. Secretary Ly man was Instructed to write to the secretary of agriculture with reference to th planting ot grasses In the sand hills on the coast and also suggest th establishment of an experiment station In Clatsop county. A motion waa pa sed instructing th park commute to mwt t an early date and prepare a statement to present to th association. It was the sens of the meeting that th park should be turned over to the city, together with th obligations as sumed by the Push Club. This.

The steamer Columbia will arrive this morning en route to San Fran Cisco. She will be In vcharge of Cap tain Doren, vlce-t'aptaln Oreen, who has been despatched to Puget Sound to navigate the Orlsoba Scuth from Se attle. It Is stated that Captain Poran will retain commanl of the Cotumbla. tUns Sandwich of Clifton. Oregon, who death by drowning was an nounced In these columns a few days ago. had drawn one of ihe lucky J numbers calling for a rrti bicycle of fered by the clothing house of Her man Wise. The winning ticket was presented by the d-ad man's brother. Peter Sandwich, to whom the wheel was awarded. Th drawing for th bicycle as held at Fisher's hall yea tenlay, and a large crowd was In at tendance. The Judges who omclated and managed the details nf the pre mium allotment, were P. J. Oiwxlman, Wm. Chance, It. Voeth, Fred Urown and Chas. W. Clark. Mttle Miss Harrlman was blind M-.le.l and plucked from a sack the lucky n'imers which enriched the happy ,artl'liants. e favored number, wer? (t'f. and 4".' A young man having TtIS lma?lie 1 that he held the winning card, ar-d with much eclat gave notice of tho euce.-sa which had so g-nertHly bcfn'len him. He seemed painfully disconcerted when assured of his mistake. Chas. A. Nel son of Svensen waa the second lucky winner, and after a cordial handshak with th donor disappeared on th si lent steed with the swiftness of the wind. At the conclusion of the draw Ing. the gentlemen present were each presented with a line ctg.tr. GETTING EXCITING.
