It promptly assumed Ihe ;ilr of an oyster sliMip and though with out sallj or rudder It rounded the point at the narrows and sailed Into Hkid- moie sloiish Just wherc.lt would be needed to drive pile for the proposed mill of the Columbia liox and Lum- lM-r Company. The tldv b-fl It high und dry but none the worso for the trip, When one consider the route, the I'IIm driver's trip was a remarkable one. Sunday was truly a day for the gods. PiU'hl ami warm, II was by far the piea.mtcitt duy of the winter season. All Aslo'U wus out, strolling In the wurni sunshine about town or climbing the neighlx'rlng hills to come In closer tou'.h with smiling Nuture.

The day was to de lightful that Nature seems to have re gretted it, for a frown, dork and fore toiling yesterday displaced the dimply smile of iho dny before. However, as weather such us Sunduy's Is not on Ihe regular Mil of fare for this time of the year, AMorinns may count It pure gain and u-.valt subininlvcly more rain. A TUKAT rnlt ASTORIA.

ANOTHER TOOTH HAS EEEM PULLED Monmouthshire Leaves Portland 100 Tons Short. IS LOADED AT BPOOKFIELD The Hflssalo tiring Down HaUntc of Cargo Which h Stowed In the Dead of Night. The Prltlsh steamship Monmouth shire, plying between tie Columbia river and Oriental ports under charter to IJodwcll Co,, t"umcd lazily down the river yesterday and lum night dropped anchor neur Iirooklleld about ttteilly-llve miles Up Ihe river. Along about 2 o'clock this morning, the steamboat HhhmiIo also cuine down the river, but not luzlly. The crack liver qttuiucr of Ihe O. R. it N. ploiiijhid through the river ai her sum it eHi clip, grounlng under the bcr (I n of one hundred irmn of special car go. This wus for the capa lous hold of the Miiiiuiouthshire, which hud to come down the river just one hundred tons snort of her full liud. As soon as the JliiK-alu came alongside, a lurge gang ot mi ll was set to woik transfer ring the freight to tho big liner and It is expected that the work will be com plctvil by somellmv this morning. Juki why this unusual course has been pursued may be- accepted as a loader of conjecture so far as It con cerned the transfer of freight at J,rjoklleld instead of Astuiiu, where there l every conceivable facility. Portland people, are naturally sensitive over the Inability of these- buuls to cmne safely down the rher without a full cargo and It is thought possible ttiui the Idea of loading the Mon mouthshire at Brookltcld, "where no Ixidy lives und dogs burk ul strangers," I i 1 1 K 1 1 1 have been due to a dehire to es cue the uniivyance which w uld nat urally arise from any publicity in the nmt'T. Il wus K a rue J from a i liable source lute lat night, however, that the pro piigrui:i wu arranged purely as a matter of convenience. The Husaalo could bring the freight down the river on her tegular uip, dump it into the MouiiioutliMliire and then j recced to Astorlu, leaving this city on her return tup marly on schedule time by cut ting short her slay. Only a few days ago, the Muuulilp Arab of the suine line was obliged to ioioe down the riw-r light, taking on tw t hundred t ns of wheat and one hundred and twenty tons of coal at tins port before going to eeu. U geem too lad that so much loss of tune und eKpci.se must be incuired In getting these ships to sa but con solation ul' Ibis order doesn't make the channel of the river any doeper. the clan at Portland uuy happier, nor the Origoiiiuu uny wiser.

' At the Native Sons' reception the other nlghl Governor Ueer brought real blushes to the feminine cheek by say.ig. in his allusion to the pioneer rioiheis, that "now, in their old age, they could lean upon him and his fel low native sons. " Doubtless the gov ernors invitation would be eagerly ttixeptcd by many upon a hit of addi tional urging, but he would have to take a scut to muke it practicable. A bill has Just been Introduced in the legislature of Massachusetts mak ing the legal minimum length for lob stem to be taken by llshermen nine inches instead of ten and one-half. It is probably tn.it the legL-latora grown nervous in contemplation of possible encrouchments by ambitious llshermen, proceeding upon the theory of sell-preservation being the first law of niture. To out II the excitement among the religious fanatics In the Philippines and nil Filipino, more or less, are re ligious fanatics General otls, after characteristic ponderous deliberation, MinVred himself to announce through the Manila papers: "If the church au thorities assign friars to curacies who are obnoxious to the people they will not be compelled to accept them. The Individual liberty guaranteed by th$ Anient an constitution w ill not be de nied tho Filipinos, and the government will not force on them any ecclesiasti cal denomination contrary to their wishes." We think so neither already pretty ijulck, don't it. Although the dls patcnes do not say so, it is quite prob nbl. lh.it the next d ly It rained. Otis bos been in Ihe Islands long enough to know that diplomatic haggling with a Filipino bears the relationship of a Mau.s-r bullet af;alnt;t a warship. He oufcht either to talk plain Fjiglish or not talk nt all. The latter would bo supremely better In his case. It seems to be a quite-general opin ion that should Matt. Ullstrom be lib erated from the asylum within a yeur or two he will be hauled Into court and tried on the charge of having mur iered Lake Mooers. The editor of the C.'ithUmct Guuette-who la but one of manv editors expressing similar opln-1'in- came out In his last Issue with this conclusion: Hllstrom wus taken before the county medical board, adjudged Insane, and sent to the asv lum In Salem. This put a slop to all criminal proceedings, but the com plaint will not be dismissed, and should WHAT WE StY WE'LL DO WE DO DO Highly TO US.... Because Because TO OUR CUSTOMERS Hllstrom ever be released from the ttMium he will be prosecuted." The Inference is, at tirst thought, most natural, tut it Is sadly too sadly-lacking In logic. If Matt. Hllstrom were to be liberated from the asylum, h. would never be tried for murder. And if he were, the proceedings In court would be the sheerest mockery. It would be an act of wanton waste cf public funds. And. why? Simply because there would not be one chance In a thousand to secure conviction. Everyone acquainted with the ldlosyn cracies of the overuse. jury of today knows this. One has but to exam ine the criminal calendar of any coun ty In the state to be convinced of the absolute force of this assertion. The n.pre fact that a warrant for the ar rest of Hilstrom on u charge of In sanity was issued a few hours prior to the shooting would result In ac quittal, even though he were subse ouently discharged from the complaint, unless his case was tried by a Jury of remarkable mental acumen. And the average Jury la'nt of t hat kind. C. B. D. FISHER'S OPERA HOUSE L. E. SELIG, Lessee and Mgr. Event Extraordinary! Special Enzagemeut !
