A number of the local naval reserve boys took a most enjoyable cruise down the river on Sunday. While on the Washington side a heavy squall was encountered and the excellent manner In which the boat was handled gives evidence of both the training as well as the rapid progress made in learning the Intricacies of expert sail ing. it. K Jeffrey returned from Califor nia Sunday evening. Mr. "Jeff" had been absent for several weeks for his health and Is much improved. He drifted Into ono of the native fogs while at San Francisco and, tor sever al days, suffered severely from Its ef fects. After getting Into the tone of sunshine, however, he soon recovered and Is, on the whole, much satisfied with the benefits received from the trip. Now that the small boy Is convinced ho cud get five cunts apiece for rats, dead or alive, at the chief of police's ollce, thsy are beginning to turn In the defunct rodents In a way tho-t argues a boom In the chewing gum and candy trade. One frightful trial to roost boys Is the sinning of the rcept for the till hie, which he must do w hen the chkf pays hint. A sepurste receipt foi each lot of rats Is necessnry and be Nidi many of the collectors of rodents are loo young to write their names. The ruts should be receipt enough for the bounty on themselves. There now remains no doubt that the captain of the Lllla ui'd Muttle, whim mysterious disappearance, a fortnight ugo, was attributed to foul play. Is now In Han Francisco, While no authentic Information as to his pri-ie-nce lu thut city bus been received there Is every reason to believe thut he left this city for Portland a week ago Huturdny morning and left that city for Hnn Francisco by train. He was seen In this city on that morning by Captain Sclirader to whom he slat ed that he hid sold the I.Hu ami Mat tie and was going south at once. ii. O.

The present boom on that river was built by the settlers and muni come out. It obstructs navigation, according to an nrdi-r of the war department. Mr, MKiownn already owns a good site for a boom near his cannery on North liver, and this will be utilised. The boom Is expire led to cost 113.040, and A, K. Wade, 1C. J. Morgan and other North river loggers are supposed to be Intereated In it. North river is a good logging stream for over eighty miles, and tributary to It Is one of the fnest belts of spruce timber In the slate. . It appears that the suggestion re gardlng asking aid from Carnegie for the Astoria public library came a lit tlo late. The wide-awuke ladies com prising the library board have left no alone unturned to aid the work so dear to them. About two months ago, upon the suggestion of Mrs. Samuel Klinore, the board voted to ask aid from Mr. Carnegie and requested Mrs. Klnmre to write a letter to that effect This wss done and the signature of the mayor and city clerk, verified be fore a notary, as to the veracity of the statements regarding the library and its work, was appended. The ladles have been hoping to bear favorably re garding their appeal, but have kept very quiet about It , as to raise no false hopes. It Is sincerely hoped that they will not be disappointed. That such rtllclent hands are guiding the li brary Is a source of much satisfaction. JUDGE GRAY EXPLAINS. His Kcusons for Attacking Curtis and His Record. Astoria, Oregon, March 2G. Editor Morning Astorian: A controversy with an editor of a newspaper, or any person that can collect a few type to gether and scatter the productions of their erratic brain broadcast over the land, Is neither a profitable or pleas ant tusk. My only apology to the pub lic for being a "political meddler," as Mr. Curtis has quite courteously call ed ni- la that I am an American fill sen, uid I do not propose that sny editor, or editorial trust, shall have a monopoly on public thought or speech, and strangle me by ridicule or misrep resentation of the facts. If I can help It. His public or political record as an editor and a politician are subjects thut the Intelligent and representative cltisens of Clatsop county have known aud suffered for years. Occasionally he has shown Indications of becoming a rational, influential member of this communityjust before elections but his good resolve Is forgotten the day after, and to h I witn Clatsop coun ty and the d d fools, Is one of his fre quent remarks. He says "whatever may be my political reputation no man can vny that I am a political meddler, or that I Interfere with matters that do not concern mt. That Is Just what's Ihe matter. As a self-conceited cen sor, he does Inlerefcre In the Herald, not only with public and political af fairs, but with business and often with private matters, to the great det- iment of the community. Then he kicks like a Bteer" when criticised for doing so. And again he kicks when his oivn political record or peculiar methods are shown up. My records es a public man and of ficer are subject to comment and I have not tho least objection to any truthful criticism of my ofllclal acts. And If I am to be called a "political meddler" because I do not allow Mr. J. Curtis or some other self-con stituted political boss to think for me. I can't help It, and he may And out that there may be more meddlers In Clatsop county. As I Intend to go with the excursion to The Dalles this evening, I will defer answering the re maining questions Mr. Curtis has ask ed me, and I promise not to dodge them, as he did those I asked him.

Par ker. Astorln, Or. Gentlemen: I take grtat pleasure in acknowledging your vulued favor of the 2.nd Instance ad vlhlnK me of your Intended excursion to The Dalles. On behalf of the club and the rltlxens I desire to assure you that the "City at the Gateway of the Inland Empire" appreciates the visit from the cltisens of 'The City by the Sounding Sea." and we shall Jo all In our power to make your visit a pleasant und profita ble one. On behalf of our Commercial Club, we extend to you the freedom of our rooms and request that you make them your headquarters while here. Yours very truly, FRANK MENEFEE. Secretary Commercial Club. There Is no doubt that those who compose the excursion party will have a royal good time at The Dalles. The Commercial Club of that city and the citizens generally will do everything !osslble for the entertainment of the visitors. The following extract from an article published In the Tlmcs-Moun- talneer la Illustrative of tho feeling at The Dalles over the excursion: 'Few .more important events have ever token place In the h'.stoiy of our little city than this visit of Astorians. The party will number from 50 to 100 representative citizens of the seaport at the mouth of the Columbia. It will be to muny of them their first acquaint ance with this part of the great river valley and Its people, soon to be more closely united with them in a business way than evtr before. Somo of them doubtless coiiih for the pleasure of the trip, but many of them are coining to learn more of us and our region, and to see for themselves the progress of the work that Is ere long to make them and us near neighbors in a new and more Important sense. We are able to assure them that every possible fa cility will be given them to Inspect the progress of construction on the portuge railway, that will within 90 days give them and their 'City by the Sea' the nearest practicable approach to 'an open river' that has ever been possi ble or that will be possible within the next twenty-five years. Our whole population should unite in giving a roy al welcome and royal good ilme to the visit oi-s. Every man, woman and child should constitute himself, herself and Itself a committee of one on enter tainment, to send these Astorians home with pleasanter recollections of The Dalles than they ever carried away be fore from any other place or region of the Columbia river.".

The Tug ftamson Met With No Acci dent While Enroute. Koine idiot, whose Identity has not yet been discovered, set In circulation Hunduy afternoon a report to th ef fect that the tug Samson, which ar rived In from San Francisco yesterday morning, had her boilers blown up between here and flan Francisco and that t vo members of the crew had lost their lives In the exploalon. No Infor mation whatever could be obtained from San Francisco or any point along the line and the opinion soon became generul that the Samson had probably gone to the bottom with all on board. Shortly after 4 o'clock yesterday morning, however, the tug put In an appearance off the mouth of the river and soon after crossed Into the har bor. Captain Stream was dumbfounded when Informed concerning the reports of disaster, being utterly at a lona to know how the rumor could have gain ed circulation. The Samson, he said, was much overdue, but the delay was caused by the heavy head winds en countered off the California coast To an Astorian representative yesterday Captain Stream explained that a terri fic gale sprang up shortly after leaving San Francisco and that he found it necessary to hug the shore. When he reached Cresent City he concluded to put In at that port an! lie at anchor until the storm had subsided, as much coul was being consumed and but little headway made. The Samson remain ed In shelter at that point for forty hours, when she resumed her Journey up the count for Astoria, making the trip in exactly six days from San Fran cisco. The Samson will go to Grays har bor today and leave for San Francisco on Friday with a bargt of lumber in tow. ARTIST SWOPE'S NEW PICTURE, The Large Oil Painting on the Walls of Kenney Sc Grlbler's Attract ing Much Attention. The well-known local artist, J. C, Swope, In placing on the walls of Ken ney A Grlbler's Star saloon an oil painting ten and a half feet by twenty four feet and containing sixteen life sized figures. The painting is an original concep tlon of Mr. Swope's, based upon the careful study of some of the greatest paintings in the world, such as "The Surprise," "The Bathers.- 'The Un forseen and others equally well known. His idea was to take from each of the great masterpieces a cen tral figure and then groupe the selec tions in a study of the nude which would be entirely original. That be has succeeded admirably the unfinish ed painting proves and the completed work will be In its way a masterpiece. The scene chosen for the picture is a portion of the coast near this city. On the shore a vessel has been wrecked and as it lies there on the sands slowly breaking up under the never-ceasing attacks of the surf, the nymphs use It is a bathing house and the beach and breakers as their playground. All the figures are full of life and the picture Is ' devoid of any suggestions that could offend the true artist or the trut lover of art. Mr. Swope receives, it is said, 1500 for the work, which will be completed during the coming month. BALLOON THAT MAY BE STEERED This latest Invention tn the way of air ships is attracting great attention. The most wonderful thing about it is simplicity. It is propelled by a small double petroleum motor, similar to that used in automobiles. Ordinary coal gas can take the place of hydrogen for the purpose of tilling the balloon, as en ly an hour is required for this work with gas, whereas hydrogen takes a day. This discovery ought to moke the road through the heavens as free from danger as does Hostetter's Stomach Bitters the road through life. Behind it lie fifty years of cures. Weakness, indi gestion, dyspepsia, debility, nervous. ness, constipation, malaria, or any dis euse aribing from a weak stomach can not withstand It It is an excellent spring tonic SOLFILINE.
