Marfurlane and others means that an oil and guano factory will be erected there. .Mr. Mac fartim was In Astoria yesterday and it w.ts learned that II whs intended to erect a large plant on the inland for the manufacture of guano an 1 oil from the refuse of the canneries and cold storage warchoun'S.

Th steamer Harrison arrived fiom Tillamook vrstrrday morning, car carrying a hitivy lint of pansengirs and a lurfe quandty of canned salmon con signed tit Humuil Kliimre. There was alno a large imnUty of creamery pro duce coitHiicned to local and Portland dealers. The Harris n made ime of the quickest trips in the history of the run. Tils Is accounted fcr. however, by the exceptionally favorable weather h'ch pr will d. The on y adverse con ditions were encountt red at the mouth of th river where a strong head wind and an eli'i tide had set In. A tug which was In the neighborhood offered nnnlntAnce to the Harrison but this was found unnecessary, Intcrvtlnir news from Knappu ap pears In the following Items published In th.. Culhlumct Oaxette: The little girl of C. C. Knnpp's recently had a bad cut on the fact from a double-bitted ax. and is rapidly recovering. The doctor says there will b but little srar. The bridge of the ns close to the eyes wus cut In two. It was fortunate she was not killed outright. W. It. Me Kartane has pun-hosed the residence and ground, ten acres, which he has occupied for three years, from E. C. Ililknap. We rejoice to number Mr. McFarl.inf! and family as permanent residents. Waller Douglas and wife, of Astoria, recently visited Mrs. Douglas" yarnts, W. H. Twilight and wife. Harry Twilight, a populur brake man on the A. A C. it. It., recently spent a day with his parents. There was a sma.ulon over on Gray's river the other day, us will appear from the following, tuken from the Cuthla met Oaxette: There wus quit.1 an amusing lucid. -nt ocurred up at Mr. Ahlberg'a lust week. Mr. Doslund tied his horse and cart in Mr. Ahlberg'a shed and crossed the river to roll some logs Into the str am off the gravel bars, and while so engaged Mr. Khude came along the road with a pair of asses and burrows with pa-ks on their backs. They slopped opposite the horse and when the horse looked around and saw them It so frlghuned him that he made a lunge and threw himself. But he was soon on his feet again, and made another lunge and broke loose, and struck down Ahlberg's lane like a whirlwind. He got loose from the cart, and frightened Ahlb-rgs cattle that were In the lane. The cattle (.mashed through the gate, with the horse after them, plunged Into the river to the opposite side, while Khude and the two Innocent little burrows looked and wondered what all the hurry was about. There is talk of circulating a petition, compelling Mr. Khude to keep his assis oit tne road. The editor of the Tillamook Head light draws some very good conclusions on the responsibility of parents in the bringing up of thdr children In the following: "Some mischievous, feather-brain hoodlum, while Mr. L. O. Freemun'a team was tied up near the court house last week, cut the double tree. As Mr. Fretman has been sub Ject to this kind of annoyance previous to this, he is wanting to know how long this iitate of affairs Is going to continue. We will answer that ques tion In this way. Illume the parents of the hoys who have allowed them to grow up In that way, with, perriups, no parcnl'il Iniluence to control them or to Instill Into their minds what Is noble or ignoble. Hence, we find In every community, youns men growing up ns hoodlums, drunkards and law breakers because they have no ambi tion to push themselves to the front or any purpose in view as to what station In life they intend occupying. It would be far better for parents who have raised their hoys In luxury and Idleness to turn tlvm loose ' on the world, for as long as tliy can sponge on the old folks they will -nanlfest no grout desire to hustle for themselves, preferring to be right In the swim with those who delight in devilment. A dlspat.'h boat for military service on the American Yukon is to be placed nt th disposal of General Randall, oomirmndnnt of the department of Al aska. The river steamer Duehesnay, now owned by the government, has been designated for this purpose. Capt- C. P. Elliott, a retired cavalry officer, now In thn service of Captain Robin son's dlvlnlon of thn quurtermanter's department, has been annlgm-d to the position as commander of th vessel. Th Dii'-hsniy, which was purchased for the war department from Cana dian owners, a year ago, Is now at Ty oonok. Cook's Inlet. Hhe went Into winter qu irters at that point at the close of the season. The Duchennay Mas purchased for government explor ing purposes. Besides using her as a dlnputch In at, General Itandull contem plates putting the Durhesnay to var ied other Uses, such as moving small detarhmenls of soldiers and the quick delivery of suppllen. Hhe will carry tW'-nty-Pvo men and 100 tons of sup piles, and should thn occasion demand It, Captain Klllott says she could car ry one hundred rni-n. The Iiuchesnay re julres a crew of ten men. Hhe Is a speedy little boat, and for her size Is exceptionally strong and seaworthy. Hhe will be towd to the mouth of the Yukon by one of the revenue cutters. KKTl'HNED FROM THK KAHT. Frank Spittle Kiailon Home From New Yoik. Attormy Frank Spittle returned from his cuhtern trip tant night. He had ,'ust partially recovered from a severe nlt.it k of the grippe with which he had been eonflni d to his bed In New York city be fire leaving and still retains evidence of Its effect upon him. In speaking of his trip Mr. Spittle said that he discovered several things of Interest, although nothing of a par ticular beat lug uion Astoria or even Oregon save the prevailing well-dellncd In priKnion In the Kant '.hat through a NtiM-rubun liince of lethargy the busi ness men of Oregon have permitted the men hunts on the Hound to "get away" with the Alaska trade, "I find that everything is I'ape Nome ha. k In New York," said Mr. Spittle. "The people back there urn. If possible, evi n more eiithunlastlc than those In the Vest I'.ut everyone you talk to. In dlxeUKKing this matter. Invariably al ludes to H utile as the natural outfit ting point. They say that Fcattle Is the natural gatew ly to the Alaskan gold lields ond no amount of arg uneut can convince them 'ithbrwtS". Those who are full neijualntfl v Uh the actual Situation h're say that the control of this business should naturully belong to Portland, but that the greater de gree ot enterprise of the Hound mer chants has resulted In th- business go lnj,' north. "Business conditions throughout thi? Kant are apparently proserous. Ev ery boil y seems to be busy und I heard of nn complaints." FOR SCMMEIt REGATTAS. New &ats Belns Built Which WillTiy for Prlz's. The prospective events of the coming nailing season and the probable cham pions of the summer refatla are al ready the subject of many an animated discussion among yachtsman. The suc ceNsful boats of 1VJ9 are destined to have quite a tussel In order to main tain their supremacy this year. Mr. Dodge, of the Oregon Yacht Club, is building two new mats, each of which will be a flyer. From what can be teamed from ouUide sources, one will he on Ihe lines of the Seawaukaka KniM'kubout, says the Evening Tele Ki am. v. hlle the other Is especially de signed to compile against the peculitr but successful specimen of marineareh-Itei-ture, Lark 6s, of last s.umiu's fame. Mr. Duthie, formerly with ine tier-n-Khoft Manufacturing Company, has un Jer construction a fast cruiser of the lype so much in vogue on Long Isl and sound. Comfort will in no wise be sccrillced to givj le r speed, but II is ixpected tnat she will possess u most satisfactory combination of both of these qualities. The most popular style of boat for use In thes waters Is a comparatively shullow centerboard craft, depending more upon her Hearing and beam, rath er titan on a heavy keel, for stability. Hi'iiworthlmss is also much to be de sired by those having in view the an nuul club cruise to Astoria and the Lower Columbia. APPORTIONMENT MADE. Tax Rol! to Be Placed in Sheriff s Hands on Monday.

ANOTHER BIG OCEAN LINER. It Is rumored that another big ocean liner is to be built, which will rival even the famous Oceanic In sise. As usual, American enterprise la at the head of the project. America seems determined to have the greatest, wheth er It be steamships, art, inventions or medicine. Take Hostetter a Stomach Bitters as an example of what has been accomplished In medicine. It has proved Its worth by over fifty years of cures of stomach diseases. There is nothing like this famous remedy for Indigestion, biliousness, constipation and nervotisnesx. It also cures liver and kidney trouble, and prevents ma lai-ia, tever and ague. Be sure you get the genuine, with Private Revenue Stam over the neck of the bottle, or you win not De nenentea. A.
