Bo ninny people have described the winter trail from Dawson as a bicycle path, and so many others have shown tho navigation ot tho froien river awheel to be practicable, by biking through In quicker time than the dogi or horses make, that the bicyole has become a familiar feature of winter travel In the North. Now, however, a genuine- novelty;' Is to be, presented, the automobile having made Its ap pearance In the land of cold and gold.

An old logger ciime Into Cathlamet the other day and applied for citizenship papers. The Judge proceeded along the customary llii's of In'i'ilry to establish the eligi bility of the applicant, asking among otlie' things, who was the chief execu tive of the nation. The logger rcratrh ed an ankle with the sole of his hob nnlled hoot for an Instant and replied: "I dsnk he bane Joe Megler." Charles Hmlth. a prominent cltlaen of Cathlumct. who was In town yeater day on business, stated that Cathlamet waa on the eve of a most substantial boom. He declared the conviction that the Columbia Itlver Valley Railroad enterprise was an assured success, stating that rights of way in the Cithlainct district were being pur chased and tho there was every pros pect of work on construction being be run within the next two months. Mr. Smith declared that the reports that the people of the Cathlamet district were not heartily In support of the proposed railroad enterprise waa un just and untme. and that all encour agement possible was being extended to the projectors of the road. Observer Johnson of the local weath er bureau has Just received the fol lowing official orders, relative to cig arette smoking among tho employes engaged In the service, from Willis L. Moore, chief of the United States wea ther bureau: "Bo many Instances wherein the excessive use of cigarettes has caused a material deterioration In the mental and physical condition of employes have come to the attention of the chief of the weather bureau that he feels constrained to warn the mem bers of the service against indulgence in this Injurious habit. The smoking of cigarettes In the offices ot the weather bureau Is hereby prohibited. Officials In charge of stations will rigid ly enforce this order, and w ill also In clude In their semi-annual confidential report Information as to those of their assistants who smoke cigarettes out side of office hours." PIONEER PASSES AWAY. Doath of Calvin Carrlngton at Cath lamet Yesterday. Calvin Carrlngton, a Pacific roast pioneer, passed away at Cathlamet yesterday at the age of 94 years. Mr. Carrlngton waa one of the ninny men who has been disappointed In life. A man of good family and excellent education, he started out In life with high and determined ambitions, but the history of his life during later years proved that fate wai against htm and his education, training and ambi tion amounted to naught. Ho came to California from New Haven, Conn., his birthplace, In 1S49, endeavoring to make his fortune with the adventurous gold-seekers. He soon amased a comfortable sum and event ually became engaged In the whole sale grocery business at Ban Francisco. For several years he did well but HI fate was in pursuit of him and he finally was compelled to go out ot reverses. It Is also stated that he had domestic difficulties which resulted In his separation from his wife and children. Crushed with the financial reverses and domestic strife, It Is said, ho came to Oregon, determined to en gage In farming and ostracise himself In the fastnesses of the interior. But even this field seemed to have no re lief tor him for, according to the re ports, he failed in his farming venture and nnully settled in Cathlamet, where he remained until his death. Mr. Carrlngton was highly respected for hlB Intelligence and gentlemanly Instincts and will be greatly missed at Cathlamet He was a Mason of high standing and an ardent democrat in politics. It was a record to which he did not hesitate to refer with much pride that his first vote was for Andrew- Jackson and his last for William J. Bryan. The funeral will be held at Cath lamet today at 1:30 and the remains Interred In the cemetery at that place. LARY SULLIVAN'S GANG. British Ship .Owners Will No Longer Tolerate Practice of "Criinplng." Larry Sullivan and his gang at the bailor boarding house in Portland will be brought up with a round turn. The Liverpool chamber ot commerce Is de termined to put a stop to the practice ot "crimping" so far as British ships are concerned, if it possibly can, and as a' result of their efforts the British consuls at all American : ports have ... QITS What virtue there is in bare cleanliness! Pears' soap does nothing but cleanse, it has no medi cal properties; but it brings the color of health, and health itself. Give it time. been Instructed to see that the sailor gets the amount of money stipulated In the contract. That the practice of "crimping" is still going on Is sttested by a letter written by James Laldluw, British vice consul at Portland, who says "sail ors are stolen from the ships Just as much as ever, and while $55 Is exacted for every seaman furnished, the law of Oregon admits of only ten dollars per man, and prescribes a penalty of Im prisonment of not less than ten nor mor than one hundred dayi or a fine of from 120 to $100 for each offense of exacting more than the sum above named." Continuing the vice-consul lays: "If 135 is not excessive blood money I would like to know what It Is. In Great Britain, where crimps sre con trolled, no compensation whatever is paid for procuring seamen. When a seaman Is charged with Just what he receives at reasonable tales It will be time enough to express rallfcfactlon. He needs no one to procure him em ployment If he Is let alone." The practice of uoardln?-house mas ters stealing sailors from ships cn the Columbl tlver has cause 1 endleis trouble and delay to captains of sail Ins: ships, and a determined effort Is about to be made to break up the Larry Sullivan gnn? and net frej from Its unscrupulous tactics. ASTORIAN3 AT THE DALLES. Excursionists Royally Received Having a Good Time. and The excursion party which left this city Monday evening for The Dalles will probably arrive home at an early hour thla morning. Their reception at The Dalles, according to the re ports, was most gratifying. The party arrived at The Dalles a few minutes before 1 o'clock and were met by sev eral hundred cittsens. As the boat was landing the local band played a num ber of welcoming airs, and after friend ly greetings had been exchanged, the Astorlnns werj escorted to the club rooms, where Judge Bennett delivered a brief address of welcome. This was responded to by Mr. B. Van Dusen, Mayor liergman, of Astoria, F. L. Parker, J. H. D., Gray, James W. Welch and D. K. Warren. The gentle men were elaborate In their predic tions for the future of The Dalles and the commerce of the great Columbia valley. After a brief time at the club room the visitors were conveyed In a special train to Celllo, where the great er portion of the afternoon was rpent In viewing the falls. In speaking of the visit of the ex cursionists the Times-Mountaineer says: "This has Indeed been a proud day for The Dulles, for It marked the be ginning of a friendship with the clti- tens of Astoria which Is to be hoped will ripen Into one that will be lasting and will result In eommercl:U advan tage both to The Dalles and the 'City by the Sea.'

LOVELACE A LIVELY CORPSE Supposed Suicide Tores Up la Eastern Oregon. QUESTION OF IDENTIFICATION Big Mystery Surrounding the Death of tbe Maa Supposed to Have Keel MisMmj Engineer. The body of the supposed suicide, found in the river near the Astoria railroad round-house on Wednesday, of last week, later Identified by one J. S. Kympson as that of R. W. Love lace, an ex-Southern Pacific engineer and still later buried by Coroner Pohl as the remains of said Lovelace, turns out to be the body of an unknown man, and all the evidence adduced to show that it was a case of deliberate suicide is not only worthless for that object but tends to awaken apprehen slon that the man may not have volun tartly taken his life. In fact, Coroner Pohl says that the evidence. In the absence of all identification, and con seiuently all reasons for suicide, might apply equally as well to foul play ai to self-destruction. The first Intimation received thai the Identification of the body as that of li, W. Lovelace waa wrong, was in a letter printed In the Oregonian of Port land from their correspondent at Vlen- to. It reads as follows. "If F. W. Lovelace, late locomotive en gineer of the Southern Pacific railway, Is a corpse, I confess he Is the most lively corpse that X ever ran across. Since coming among us and beginning work here with the railroad contractor he has performed his duties faithfully, conducted himself as a gentleman, and la esteemed by all with whom he has come In contact. Credentials that he possesses from the Southern Pacific officials preclude the Idea that he Is In any danger of filling an early grave from strong drink." When J. S. Sympson was seen rela tive to his Identification of the body as that of Lovelace, he said that the remains were so decomposed when he viewed them that he was guided main ly by the clothing on the body. He admitted that he did not know Love lace had been drinking hard but had understood so. Tbe story as to Love lace being here out of work and send' Ing his wife home, he insisted was correct Coroner Pohl said he did not know what to think about the matter. "The Identification was seemingly so com plete and the reasons for the suicide so plausible that I never thought ot holding a post mortem on the remains, especially as they were In such a con ditlon as tu baffle eurgrona except in case of stabs, bullet wounds or frac tures. Wounds ot the first two classei were absent but the skull might have been fractured. There was an abra sion back of one of the ears but this was thought to have been caused by the man striking a timber in Jumping overboard and no examination of it was made. There was nothing in tbe tlelng ot the weights that would pre clude the man having been foully dealt with, although I have no Idea that such was the case. The fact that the man's pockets had been emptied and all traces of his identification destroyed would, under the circumstances, be the most natural thing for thugs to do in case he was sandbagged and thrown overboard. "So far as I am concerned," con tinued the coroner, "but one thing is left for me to do, namely, change the burial permit and booking from Love lace to unknown. If the police want the body exhumed for further exami nation, it will be disinterred at any time." There Is no question but what Love lace was in sore straits both here and In Portland and had talked of suicide, whatever may be his condition In V lento now. Sympson says that he was here broke and refused a Job at a dollar a day Juat before he; Sympson, left on a trip. He admits he knew nothing of Lovelace's whereabouts or his success or failure to obtain work thereafter. In Portland, Lovelace talked about the "black ball" shutting him out from work and seemed despondent He talked to a number of men and no one who had met him was surprised to hear of his suicide. What complicates the cose, now that It is positively known that the dead man Is not Lovelace, ot California, is the fact that no missing man has been reported to either the police or the coroner in weeks and hence there la ab solutely no possible clew as to the iden tity of the body found. What will be done In the matter Is not known but the facts In the case having been lent to all the leading newspapers on the coast, if there is a missing man anywhere that will fit the description of the deceased the case will undoubtedly be heard from.

A Startling State of Affairs Reported In Hawaiian Papers. A startling state of affairs exists at Honolulu, according to papers re ceived from vessels just In from the Sandwich Islands at this port. It is said that hundreds of persons in that city are destitute and are begging the governor for food. Not a cent for re lief can be given. The government lias exhausted its appropriation in caring for the large number of people in the camps after their periods of quaran tine were ever and could not carry on the work any longer. According to an article published in the Honolulu Dally Star, Minister Da mon advised the Hawaiian Relief So ciety to spend its balance of (7,000 for the emergency. It was not a large amount, he said, but perhaps when it was gone other measures could be taken. Continuing, the Star says: "The ladies of the society were loth to part with their balance, as they have an Immense routine call for mon ey. Besides ordinary relief, which costs nearly $200 a month, the society is supporting outright about forty fam ilies. It was decided, however, that the money must be spent. "James H. Boyd and Mrs. Peabody addressed the assembly, telling the people what had been decided upon. They were told to return to the relief camp, on Punchbowl street, where food would be provided as soon as pos sible. They did so, manifesting ex traordinary good spirit in the matter. An order waa placed at the Metropoli tan Meat Company for 1500 worth of meat and the ladles began work Im mediately securing other necessities. By noon all had had a good meaL and LUXURIOU: CLUBMEN are always fastidious about the flavor and smoking qualities of their cigars, and our choice brands are general fav orites with them everywhere. Tou can't find a cigar on the market that can begin to compare with the Ver Dad for the money In flavor or manufacture. It Is the best piedlum-prtced (Igar ea the market today.

"During the conference the men of the destitute party stated that they were willing to work, but could find nothing to do. Most of them are stereo dores, and since the departure of the ships from the wharves they have been thrown out of their Jobs. "A new difficulty is now ahead On April 1 it is announced that house rent will be charged at the relief camp. This Is the policy of the government, it being felt that ample time has been given people to shift for themselves. If the natives do not get work in tha meanwhile they will at that time be worse pressed than ever." BALLOON THAT MAY BE STEERED This latest Invention in the way of air Bhlps is attracting great attention. The most wonderful thing about It is simplicity. It is propelled by a sman double petroleum motor, similar to that used in automobiles. Ordinary coat gus can take the place of hydrogen for the purpose of lining the balloon, as en ly an hour Is required for this work with gas, whereas hydrogen takes a, day.
